  2. I sold Jake a Jaco book - easy transaction, quick payment, good communication. Enjoy the book Jake.
  3. I bought a gig bag from Jim - smooth transaction, easy to deal with - would have no hesitation in dealing with again. Thanks again Jim Bass
  4. As you are looking to be playing clean most of the time so it needs a really nice round clean tone with lots of sustain......... May I shamefully self promote this: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/182175-fsft-fender-squier-japanese-strat-black-199394-maple-board/page__p__1740507#entry1740507
  5. Up for sale is a Yamaha Pacifica Electric Guitar. Selling on behalf of a close family member who wanted to learn to play but couldn't commit the time to it. Superb condition, virtually unused - as good as new. Offered at the bargain price of [s]XXXXX[/s] collected (Lancs) or happy to courier if required. Thanks for looking
  6. Again - as per your other video 'yamahabass' As requested by PM for my benefit and others: Impressive playing you've posted up there. This is something I've started to try getting into as well. Can I ask what scales / chord tones / substitutions you are visualising / thought processes / thinking about on the neck when you are playing? Are you mentally thinking to outline / connect each chord change? Are you thinking anything in terms of chord subs etc?

  8. [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1346633161' post='1791463'] Drop Cetera a line - he has the largest collection of spectors I know about. He's in Surrey though. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/106-cetera/"]http://basschat.co.uk/user/106-cetera/[/url] [/quote] Yep - thanks for that, I've seen many of Cetra's posts and drooled over the stunning collection - wish he was just around the corner from me (in a non stalker kind of way) ....
  9. [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1346582105' post='1790708'] Nice! Any chance you got the dots? I'm doing this with a band and would love to have a look at pino's licks and this particular arrangement! [/quote] +1 would like the dots for this as well if possible
  10. Hmmm... it's tales like this that make me wonder if it's worth trying to get myself back into a band. Traipsing halfway round the country to play to not very many people is soul destroying. Do people really think that the smoking ban is that significant? - I do think it has had an impact but not sure how big of an impact.
  11. [quote name='merello' timestamp='1346576701' post='1790625'] What a line! My Ford Focus 2004 or a bass! [/quote] yep - got it up for sale but no interest - seems that 2nd hand car sales are about as slow as 2nd hand bass sales........
  12. Anyone with a healthy (or should that be unhealthy?) Spector collection in the North West? I've got an itch to somehow change one of my Warwick's (or a 2004 Ford Focus!) into a Spector, and would like to be able to try a few Spectors ideally one of the newer EMG CS-TW Euro 5 Strings. If anyone would be good enough to let me have a few minutes on one, or more, then it would be much appreciated. I've seen the Warwick Vs Spector thread and seen other posts on here. Is the general opinion that the nearest Warwick to a Spector Euro 5LX is a Streamer $$?
  13. Thanks Doddy - agreed the Rhythms are harder than the actual notes - the parts I find particularly troublesome are the more complex pieces (obviously) where there is a need to change, repeatedly, from one rhythm to another. I think I've got 'Modern Reading Text in 4/4' somewhere, so will work through that as well
  14. I'm a self confessed Warwick fan - always liked their basses, and learning to play bass as a teenager they were always the basses that I would tell myself "One day I'll have one of those" - well, now I've currently got: Corvette Hot Rod 5'er - great Warwick tone but very, very, very bright - tonally and visually Dolphin Pro 2 - stonking bass, definitely has the Warwick growl Corvette Bubinga - typical Warwick with funky midrange Fretless Corvette Proline - great passive fretless mwah sound Although my go to bass at the moment is my Spector Euro 5 LX ! ...... Completely agree with Warwickhunt - the classic Warwick tone is the Stuart Zender sound on the early Jamiroquai albums
  15. Reading Bass Clef is really all about practicing it regularly. I'm now trying to avoid TAB like the plague - I think like a lot of 'shortcuts' it actually works out to be a longer way around. I use the first 20 to 30 min of my practice sessions as a warm up by reading and playing Bass Clef - I find it warms up both the eyes for reading and also the hands. Try to find bass clef only with no TAB - I've even cut strips of card of varying sizes to cover the TAB on TAB transcriptions that I have! The Major's Bootcamp in the Theory section is a great resource to work through. I feel I've made good progress on reading the dots but like pietruska I also struggle with reading rhythmns - I'd be interested to hear people's techniques to learn these better.
  16. First 'proper' gig was Pantera, September 1994. Manchester Apollo - in the 'seated' section. Absolutely superb, Dimebag one of my favourite guitarists, Vinnie Paul also a favourite drummer of mine, Phil Anselmo great front man and Rex solid as ever on bass. I particularly remember the atmosphere and raw power of the band.
