But it does feel great to know all the hard slog is beginning to pay off now. if your interested, here is a video of unkle bob for our song and next single 'satellite'. Footage was taken from our november tour with the goo goo dolls. Plenty more stuff on the tube if you want to delve into it more. So how long you been playing then and stuff?[/quote] I've been playing guitar for 30 years! I only started playing bass around a year ago Bass has taken over so much I have sold all but two guitars! I've never made a lot of money out of it though I had a look at your youtube stuff. You are very talented and I hope you continue to succeed

Welcome aboard That's an impressive cv It's good to hear of bass players making a living from the low side

This is the day after my wedding anniversary............. I started to talk to MrsBlademan and the look sort of stopped me in my tracks She is very supportive but I think it was just that bit too much! Oh well, next year maybe

Cool I really liked the Beck track. Love the drums coming in half way through, really cool The Blackbird track sounds very technical (just not my cup of tea ) Nothing wrong with it though just me!

[quote name='lobematt' post='1294985' date='Jul 6 2011, 05:44 PM']Hey guys, Have a listen to the two new tunes I've uploaded, ones a cover of McCartneys (Jaco's ) Blackbird, and one is another little tune I've been messing round with that I 'borrowed' a sample from Wired by Jeff Beck for. Let me know what you think! Matt[/quote] Where are they? I can't see a link

Good luck with the new band

you will have to explain to the nice gentlemen

I bought a very nice ABS bass case from Andy. It arrived today and is in fantastic condition. Great service from a great chap. (thanks for waiting for me to transfer the funds and reminding me that I had failed to give you an address ). Brian

A very brave post on this forum! I have seen so many 'I hate slap' posts over the last few months I have had a go and still can't do it (but will keep trying). Just don't tell anyone else I am trying to slap!

It's great to see a positive thread. At a recent interview, I asked the interviewer how they gauged feedback for their software (the job I was applying for) and he said, if there is nothing negative its good. If they have shifted 10,000 copies and they get less than 10% negative it's still good. I find that rather sad. Good service should come as standard, sadly this is not always the case. I agree, let the staff know they have done a great job and are above the normal levels of service! As for customers in supermarkets, they can be awful. My wife has come home in tears because of the aggresive nature and abuse she has suffered I think it does cut both ways at times! Great thread and a good incentive to reward good service.

Very cool groove

Just keep practising and stretching your fingers. It helps if you 'forget' the thumb in the middle of the neck routine!

I googled it and could only find double bass drum, hence my comment

Hmmmm Double Bass on a drum kit is not quite the same

Wow that is cool I love the way you changed to the bow so gracefully! Thanks for posting!

Buy a 4 string just for the metal

Cool, now dump the lot and start a new band

When I want to hear the bass properly, I run the headphone socket out to a line matching pre amp and then through my bass rig. It sounds sweet! Use audacity to remove the high frequencies and then you are rockin'

Love that bass!

I just realised that it is Pino playing bass in the Fender Strat 50th anniversary That has made my day! He just got on with it and let all the guitarists do their stuff. Brilliant, I am now a fan

you only really need two strings........... runs and hides behind stack of ERB's
