  1. [quote name='interpol52' timestamp='1429704195' post='2754091'] I like this one, I have been guilty in the past of just learning the notes to songs without understanding the chord changes that are happening. [/quote] A good starting place to learning how the chicken 'works' harmonically is to play the chord tones of each chord (root, third, fifth and seventh) as they cycle along through the song. If you do that, your ear will get a fix on many of the notes in the bass line (particularly the third, fifth and flattened seventh) that jaco plays over the changes which (I think) are all dominant 7th chords. A looping pedal is (I recommend the TC ditto) so useful in this respect. It's a great tune...
  2. I would also recommend playing the chord changes on your bass along to the tune, then picking up the baseline after you've got the harmony in your head...
  3. Withdrawn..
  4. I'm geared up at the mo' but these are full on punk amps. Recommended
  5. I used to have the combo version of this amp. I would whack the gain knob on full and do feedback solos that sounded like a 747 taking off. Fond memories!
  6. Yup - If you have one, don't sell it. It will only get harder and harder to find another one!
  7. Pleasure doing business and enjoy the cab!
  8. sold
  9. Liverpool Scene - Rad stuff!
  10. Hi It's 300 watts at 8 Ohms, cheers, N
  11. Saturday price drop bump [b] [b][color=#6A6A6A][font=arial, sans-serif][size=4][b]£[/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#222222]325[/color][/b][/b]
  12. Cool, this and Darling Dear are my favourite Jamerson lines...
  13. Bergantino bump mid week style...
  14. Withdrawn
  15. I have one of these. It's fantastic. Great price and pretty much impossible to get as they were a special run...
  16. Something for the weekend bump
  17. I've had two 75RIs in as many years (both with maple boards). Great basses but my stingray gets all the work. Must. Learn. To. Dial. In. Jazz. Basses.
  18. That is an interesting vid as both basses seem to be 75RIs so the body wood (ash), bridge and pups/pots should be the same on both basses. It would be interesting to see the neck swapped between the bodies to control for the wood itself... Personally, I have always found a clear difference in tone between maple and rosewood boards as far as jazz basses and stingrays go.
  19. That's very interesting - clover machine heads on a lefty late 70s precision?
  20. Yup - slap cacophony keeps me away too Ed, which you will probably find surprising given how I used to play back in the day

  22. Yep - I came up through Britpop and the level of obsession over the way The Beatles wrote, recorded and lived their lives through their many phases of evolution was something to witness.
  23. Ha ha - ditto - in a service station on the way out of London in north Kent I was about to use the facilities when McCartney appears and asks if his wife (Heather) could use the bog as the ladies was bust. As any gentleman would, I let her use the cubicle then I went on to use the stand up facilities. McCartney went as well saying thank you very much for the help... There should be a thread on toilet conversations with bass legends...
  24. Allo, I have a virtually unused axiom pro 49 midi controller that I would like to to swap for a straight synth. I bought it to use as a logic controller and soft synth tweaking platform but never really got round to using it. Right now I would rather a straight all in one synth that I can tweak in the keyboard. Any thoughts drop me a pm... Cheers, Nick
