For folk harps or celtic harps you could try Hobgoblin Music.

The manual for the Multi-amp should include a section listing the MIDI functions which it implements - this is a condition of using the MIDI standard.

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1500807623' post='3340244'] Hmm. If you listen to the original version by Peggy Lee you will hear that the bass phrase in each successessive chorus is subtly different from the preceding one. And they raise a semitone each chorus. It seems simple but it's not easy to play. This version sounds how I would probably play it if I was confronted by an open mike singer, ie not very well. Sorry Pete, I'm a bit grumpy this Sunday morning. [/quote] Sorry you don't like it, I thought it was pretty good. I'll be grumpy right back at ya and say that the original version was Little Willie John in 1956! Knocks Peggy Lee into a cocked hat if you ask me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y27vBA68Zyk

I've always thought that 'Fever' would be a great choice for a bass accompaniment, and this is marvellous playing by Tal Ronen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLTDkiKVxwY

With good reason. They are excellent at what they do, and everyone loves that music! I'm a huge fan.

[quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1500746027' post='3339970'] What i have found over many years is that musicians who play in orchestral type situations play exactly what the music tells them to and in perfect timing. That's great for what they are doing. Put them with guys who don't read manuscript and they are out of their comfort zone and don't generally blend with jamming musicians. [/quote] My experience over many years, including orchestral work, brass bands, wind bands and many other genres, is that everyone is different. Some of the best musicians I've met for improvising are classically trained. Normally there is a great deal of interpretation, encouraged and shaped by the conductor and musical director.

That looks very interesting. Where did you get it from, if you don't mind me asking? Dealers seem to be a bit thin on the ground.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1500032783' post='3335245'] There is a slap guy in or around Ipswich - plays with JS and the Lockerbililes. I am sorry but I don't know his name. May be worth you getting in touch with him if you want to try slapping. PM if you can't find him and I will put you in touch with the bandleader whose details I do have. [/quote] That would be Murray Collins. Josh himself is not bad either. The other thing to think about is your setup. If you've been taught and set up by a classical player, it might not be helping you play slap.

[quote name='Lazurus' timestamp='1499610949' post='3332482'] There are no slap teachers that I can find in darkest Norfolk, so any suggestions how to get going again, I have not touched the bass for couple of months........ [/quote] I am not a teacher, but if you are passing by sunny Ipswich I am more than happy to show you what I know, which will probably take all of 10 minutes, ha ha. I'm on holiday for a few days, drop me a PM if you're interested and I'll get in touch when I get back. SubsonicSimpleton, that is an outstanding clip. Got any more like it?

Bit of compression maybe, low threshold, 4dB, fast attack, slowest release you can get away with?

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1499344112' post='3330852'] Does anybody know of a decent tuner pedal with a display that can be easily seen under bright outdoor light? It may be simpler to make some kind of shade for the tuner, but if there's something out there that works better... [/quote] Can't fault the old DT10 in this respect.

Maybe. Mine seems to be OK and I'm not using particularly expensive strings - D'Addarios and DR Sunbeams mostly, with a .125 B . Comparatively rare this one, most of the 5's I've seen have been J - J , with the odd P - J. Looks quite nice.

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1499011643' post='3328560'] Alas another requirement for me would be either a precision/soapbar/humbucker pickup somewhere near the traditional P position. Twin J pickups cannot give me the sound(s) I am looking for. [/quote] You should try a bbne2. That preamp is so good, you can get pretty much any sound you want out of it.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1498987249' post='3328327'] Sterling 5 would do it. Has a narrow neck but 18mm spacing at the bridge. [/quote] I thought all EBMM 5ers were 17.5 mm. All the ones I've tried have just been that little bit too cramped for me. A BBNE2 would fit the requirements.

Had a gig last night in what I thought was going to be someone's front room - "just come round and play at my birthday party". I rock up with the bass, but no amp or preamps, to find a huge marquee with stage, 4KW, PA, sound engineer, 6 Bose monitors, lighting! I have a Shadow bridge pick up which normally sounds OK through the Phil Jones Bass, but is terribly middly on it's own. Sure enough, it sounded terrible. Sound engineer clipped a little AKG condenser mike onto the bridge, and for a cheap mic it sounded absolutely brilliant. I think it was an AKG C516: http://www.akg.com/pro/p/c516ml . I think I might have to acquire one of these and experiment further. Anyone else tried anything like this or have any other suggestions?

Usher's Island - Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny, Paddy Glackin, Mike McGoldrick and John Doyle. I don't think it gets any better than this.

Think of the smooth hound as a cable. Having two isn't going to help you with this. LS-2 is the way to go.

Can't see anything recent, even using google as a search engine. Latest is from 2014, not exactly recent. Something is broke.

It looks like a genuine 310 to me. I've seen the made in Japan sticker and the extra screws in the control plate before, on earlier models.. The only thing slightly odd is the serial number. It's not a 100 series. All 3 of my bass collections have Gotoh on the bridges. Too expensive though. 200 quid absolute tops for a 310 fretless.

By the way, thanks to the OP for the heads up. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would never have known about it, so thank you for posting. I've just upgraded the firmware on my one, everything went smoothly with no issues.

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1497295666' post='3317159'] We live and learn ! I didnt know there was a 2nd Egg from the Kent area. Yup, my Egg was Oxford based [/quote] They weren't really anything to do with Canterbury, although Dave Stewart joined Hatfield and the North some years later. Think they were all London boys.
