gary mac

Cracking gig for DefunkT last night. I wasn't looking forward to it due to having had a rough week. The load in didn't lift my spirits, there was a travellers christening party going on. Getting the kit through the crowded pub was a challenge and then marauding kids bashing the drums and generally running riot added to the general tedium. However, they all cleared off about ten minutes or so before we started, the place filled up and a good size group of tipsy ladies danced to just about every number. Happy days.

Sounds good Lozz. Look forward to hearing how you get on with it. Remember our conversations about Jazz basses a couple of weeks back? Well I've gone and ordered another one

I'd be very surprised if Mark at Bass Direct would knowingly advertise/sell a stolen instrument. Why not call or email him. He normally replies to email very promptly.

Love it

I've got the rare word, in my ad for the Spector but only because I believe it is Discreet told me, honest.

What's in the 78 Lozz? I get a bit mixed up with P bass pups.

That is a good looker for a rock setting and properly lightweight.

Parts and generally band jizz will come, evolve and work itself out but the project will have legs, I think .... [/quote] Good news then

Discreet is very obviously not awake yet. He would find this thread title totally irresistible.

I'd be happy enough building it up with a mixture of super glue and filings of whatever the nut is made from. Not if it was brass of course

I'm up and watching.

CV's are so good and that one is a looker.

[quote name='Der JD' timestamp='1430235553' post='2759329'] Yesterday I just started learning Havona by Weather Report. Tough song, but I've found that I only progress if I pick things to learn that I find really challenging. I only made it a few measures in. It's going to take a long time to nail that fast arpeggio lick up to speed. [/quote] Worth the effort

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1430205676' post='2758803'] Well... good question... I want the keys to get the gospel piano, and the vox to do Michael MacD... I think I'd go for MMd solo versions like his soundstage 2003 take, or his xmas party gig..where the vox were shared between him and the girl. Obviously wont be able to do the choir parts, and it is quite a simple song so I'll want a spikey non polite version... Might have to make room for a guest sax blower as well... So, altho I mentioned the Doobies... I'll want more Michael MacD on it .. Was thinking of bringing in 'Take me in your arms' as per Tom Johnston as well, and as long as the band can deliver it powerfully and live, I'll settle for that. Basically, that will be the brief... attack the songs, give it some beans and get the dynamics and sound/production right and let the players do what they can do... I'll let you know if I'm pleased with the way it went... I'll probably record it as I'm late getting this thing out there for the summer... and I need stuff to give to bookers.. [/quote] Will look forward to hearing some of that
