Cheers dude. At least someone's heard it now lol!

A few of you might remember my old band Lounge Fly. We had a storming couple of years and then imploded horribly from within in a messy mess. :-/ I was Gutted to loose such a great band. Well the singer and I are still close friends and have started having a mull about future projects, which inspired her to knock up this on YouTube. It's the last song we did. Infact, it's only a demo version, not real bass, just keys, but I really loved the track and thought if share it here as it missed its chance in the real world, so hopefully someone on here will like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa5YUS8OL80&sns=em Just a bunch of pics to go with the music. Spot my ever changing rigs

Where to start. 35 been playing about 19 years. Never had a lesson, been gigging since about two weeks after I bought my first bass. Perhaps been told I'm 'good' one too many times as I'm a massive show off. Have been since day one. A mover onstage i like to put on a show. I use three fingers 90% of the time. Sometimes two, sometimes one for tonal consistency. I can tap, and sometimes use it to fill out long notes or chords. (Not for guitar style noodle-Idge or for tapping out the entirety of bohemian rhapsody on in my bedroom on YouTube-yawn!) I can do the crazy fast 'look at me' slapping, (in other keys then E too! Although having got a bit of a name as the 'fast slap guy' and being bugged to do it constantly I've sorta stopped! Anal about my technique and gear, and my tone; no theory at all. Nothing. I like to be heard, not just felt, I like my actual sound to be heard too. I've adapted other styles through osmosis. Realised when I first heard Jaco that I'd been imitating him for years, probably by imitating people imitating him. I use lots of harmonics and chords and like to mimic vocal phrasing. Same with that Tower of power fella. Ripping of that burble groove thing for years before I heard him and thought 'D'oh!' Often like to just drop it by my knees and belt it with a plectrum and the drive channel on I Always live by the mantra dont matter how good you think you are, there's always a better player in the room. Had over 60 basses, boutiques, sixers etc etc. Now I'm always a passive four string jazz bass guy. It's just got my voice in it. I love the bass more than anything else. Quite short and fat.

We do stuff like britney, spice girls, Gina g, Jessie J etc all rocked up

Awesome guy, awesome basschatter ain't nothing but awesome happening here.

bought my art powermix and made it all very easy indeed. top stuff, Good times

Ian bought my behringer pedal and made it all very easy, top stuff Top bloke no worries here

As has already been mentioned, Keith is like the spirit of basschat personified! He bought a couple of amps off me, and then showed me such kindness and thoughtfulness in all his messages and dealings with me. To top it off he then sent me some pickups all the way from France, gratis!! Unrelenting awesomeness, i simply cannot say enough good things! Thank you

Best post ever mate. Brilliant to hear you so enthused [quote name='grimbeaver' timestamp='1328106443' post='1521918'] 25 years playing bass and I never scored a good original band, I have played in lots of covers bands and some good covers bands at that but when you are 46 you think that your bass playing days are all behind you and your just going to be playing AC/Dc down the local. Well Just keep on trying and dont stop, I feel like my bass playing days are all in front of me now and am more excited than an 18 year old at his first gig. Hard Rock Hell Ibiza here I come !!

Me neither, but looks fun [quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1328096364' post='1521630'] After all that, I've never heard of 'em. Or him. Congratulations though, looks like a good gig! [/quote]

We use a jamhub in my cellar now, result! it's turned into a right little band cave and it means we can record rehearsals too

No, you have to plug them into the module frame they are bespoke connectors. It really is an utterly fab piece of equipment though, rate it very highly, I'm very very pleased with my rig for the first time in a long time. It seems to have a bit more of that old school big thumpy, heavy sound to it it doesn't sound like a class D amplifier to me; it reminds me the most of my trace Elliot AH 400 SMX
