  1. To paraphrase someone else on here.... Impressive and Pointless
  2. I see what you did there (and what I did a fortnight ago!!). Bloody spellcheckers.
  3. I run my own Jazz gig in Felixstowe so get to play with Gods.
  4. I play in an acoustic duo with my Wal. I am thinking this will work. Also about to record a CD with a prog band.
  5. Another surprise birthday present from Mrs. Baggins. Sounds really nice through my Acoustic Image set up but is also surprisingly loud acoustically. What I love about these Harley Bentons is that they allow you to try things conceptually without taking to many risks. I have all sorts of ideas for this instrument.
  6. My home studio, Bag End....
  7. Pat Metheny Bright Size Life Brand X Product NOVA Vimana Jaco
  8. To be fair, commercially speaking, tab and score probably doubles the potential sales. Cannot blame the publisher for that decision.
  9. I am a 40 year Yes fan and would have to give my vote to the CTTE line-up but, for me, THE defining characteristic of Yes was always Jon Anderson. Listening to JA's solo albums suggests to me that his role was central to the Yes aesthetic. I love it all, though, and think that bad Yes is better than most other Prog/Rock/Pop. Rabin was, for me, too conventional a player to interest me and his involvement in Yes could have been any session guy. But it's all good. I love Tormato, Drama, Relayer, Tales of Top: all of it.
  10. I have got it sorted, thanks. £225!!
  11. I have provided the bridge so it is fitting only Inc cutting to size.
  12. I have just been quoted £300-350 by a luthier for this job. Can anyone confirm whether this is competitive?
  13. I got my Gedo bass direct from Gedo Musik in Germany. https://www.gedo-musik.de/ Here is something with the bass on from a few months ago. I think the bass cost about £1300. I changed the strings and bridge early on but that's all. Mail order took a few days. Bass solo around 4.50 mark for a more isolated sound. Apologies for the iffy intonation but that is not the bass's fault.
  14. I must try to get to this this month. So little time to play so have been focusing my energies elsewhere.
  15. Peripheral but interesting. I decided fairly recently try to learn to read guitar music. I am nearly 55. I have made incremental progress to the point where last week, I bought a book of easy classical guitar pieces. I have since read 85 short pieces of music cold, including notated chords. It's really exciting.
  16. It does, doesn't it. It was di'd which always sounds good on a Wal.
  17. Not really. Just a lot of his written parts are specific.
  18. Bass player is doing what he's told
  19. I don't just play Jazz you know.
  20. I am really enjoying the Wal tone on this video I did what just appeared on YouTube. It was di'd so this is the 'studio' sound.
  21. And another one! Same gig.
