Nobody notices the bass player in a Jazz band unless he catches fire.

I got mine with the cab secondhand. I would never have bought one otherwise. I will have a look at it but I think its the same problem: bits the should turn don't. Because I can't see what is wrong, I am not sure how to fix it. I am at a gig as I type and have borrowed one off our guitarist and it sounds fine.

I think I will try that as a starter for 10. Many thanks, peeps.

That was where I started getting confused, BassBunny.

My SS4 cable has stopped working and I need to replace it but am not inclined to spen £100 on a speaker cable. I have done enough research on speakons to confuse myself. Can anyone point me in the direction of a universal speakon lead that will work?

No idea. It was revamped relatively recently but I don't know the back story.

Tonight's gig with guitarist Pete Oxley and drummer Russ Morgan at Jazz East at the Alex in Felixstowe. I played as well as I ever have on the double bass. My sound has settled in and my chops appear to be up to speed.

It does it itself. 5 years in it is dry as a bone.

Look what someone found in the loft. My old Aria SB700. My kid brother still has it. I got because Jack Bruce was endorsing them and I loved his sound on Cozy Powell's Over The Top. This photo must be 35 years old?

There are lots of great Jazz versions of Beatles tunes. A couple of favourites. The organ solo in this is exquisite

We got one in the end 😀

Set starts at 9.15 so Ipswich players may be able to help?

Can anyone help? Fretted bass needed at Felixstowe Ferry NOW! I only have fretless or 7 string which scared the guy. Miscommunication resulted in two guitar players.

Try some of these......

I have read all the Peart books and I think his personality is fine. It is the expectations of the rest of us that is at fault. His relationships are precious to him and he enjoys people's company but he doesn't want to have relationships with Rush fans because they want more of him than he is prepared to offer.

Jean Luc Ponty did some great stuff. Billy Cobham. Larry Coryell's Spaces. Soft Machine. Al Dimeola's early solo stuff. There's loads of this stuff out there.

I spent a little bit of time with both of these techniques for the same reason as you give here. I finally realised that I simply don't like the music played using the more advanced elements of these tricks so I left them to rot on the vine. I have never regretted doing so.

I have used Transcribe for over a decade for only one £30 up front fee.

The above responses suggest to me that the relationship we have with these albums is very personal and dependent on where we are when we find them. Rush we're an early discovery for me as a Rock fan and I was experiencing their version of Rock virtuosity for the first time at around age 17 (1980). The first LP I recall coming out was Permanent Waves (also 1980) soI already knew about them at that point but I got C of S after hearing them on the Friday Rock Show. I think our memories are linked to our state of mind and experience to date and C of S was a discovery at a point where lots of new things were appearing in my cultural life including non mainstream musics, bass virtuosity and Tolkien. Happy times that I relive on a subconscious level whenever I hear C of S. Interestingly, Caress of Steel predates Punk.

Caress of Steel is a special one for me as it was my first.
