I have had a small number of lessons over the years. These have been one with Paul Westwood, two with Dudley Phillips and a few with a guy called Dan Quinton. Dad's were the most useful as they were properly focused on my learning needs. Most of it is self taught.

My wife hates Jazz. The last time she came to a gig was about three years ago when I played with Jason Rebello. She sat at a table outside and talked to her fried all the way through. Didn't see a second of the gig.

I am not getting to these lately, I am afraid.

Custom Legend. It's chuffing lush....

Looks like a bass, sounds like a bass. What's not to like?

Essex guitarist Simon Hurley. A monster player and still getting better. [URL=http://s283.photobucket.com/user/bilbo230763/media/Hurley%20and%20palmer%20Three_zpsno34epga.jpg.html][IMG]http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk287/bilbo230763/Hurley%20and%20palmer%20Three_zpsno34epga.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I know a major Jazz artist who auditioned for a major pop act who everyone on here will have heard of. He was told he had got the job and then never heard from them again.

I am binging on Ralph Towner at the moment.

It's lovely to see one's work benefitting others so far down the line.

I posted the whole transcription here seven years ago. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/83558-a-remark-you-made/page__fromsearch__1

It's an artificial harmonic. Fret the note and play the harmonic twelve frets higher.

Personally, as a Bruford era Berlin fan, I think his tone sucks nowadys but these are great amps I hope you enjoy it but sound better than JB!!!

The Enid had some great moments. Not seen the programme you are referring to but they were, by chance, one of the first bands I ever saw. Fand was a favourite.

Lovely. Beautifully recorded as well.

New guy to me. Quite guitaristic but interesting https://youtu.be/nlbadI7KNBc

I think the important thing to acknowledge here is that the three musicians in this recording have never played together and I had never played this tune before so was using a chord sheet. Recorded on a Zoom H1. http://m.soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/poinciana

I saw the Maria Schnieder Orchestra, last year. World leading Jazz Orchestra. £15 a ticket. I wouldn't pay £90 to see ANYONE.

Starting on seven string bass :-D http://youtu.be/f6AHkcNO0bg
