I take it its the main gate? It will be a sh*tty day all round, so I wanted to do sommat nice for someone on the way up if you get me. ah well... [/quote] i would imagine its the main large gate on entry to the park, but im not 100% im afraid. thats a really great thing though doing something decent for someone in a bad time for yourself and family,,,,,nice one buddy.

[quote name='witterth' post='911884' date='Aug 1 2010, 01:58 PM']I'll be passing your way to Glasgow from Rochdale, and could possibly lend you a feckless stingray (but only overnight) on the 17th of August, is that any good to you? Pm me if you want I know its not as long as you'd like...but...thought I'd offer ATB W[/quote] what you coming to Glasgow for??? Any gigs?

[quote name='faceman' post='911871' date='Aug 1 2010, 01:42 PM']This may seem like a strange request folks but I was wondering if anyone has a fretless bass (preferably Jazz-ish) that I could borrow for a week to try out? I live in Gateshead so anywhere in the surrounding area... I've played the Squier VMJ in Sounds Live a fair few times but I don't want to commit to buying one I'm sure it will get used and I will be able to learn to play it decently. I'd like to sit down and spent a good few hours trying it out and recording a few bits to see how I sound. I'm happy to leave a deposit, contact details and eternal gratitude. Let me know if anyone can help [/quote] oh sounds like a spin off from the munkonthehill swapshop here. I knew this kinda thing would start taking off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck getting what your after

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='911642' date='Aug 1 2010, 07:14 AM']I think it was worth discussing or I wouldn't have posted. Totally agree with the highlighted part. You've just saved me shelling out for Bootsy's Funk University. [/quote] I took lessons from Jen(endorka) for a while (highly recommended if your in the glasgow area),,, her music theory knowledge is only surpased with her 'nagging' of timing. if it wasnt for jen I wouldnt know what timing was never mind how to hold a bass. its amazing how this is something im sure we all dont really think about whilst starting off on bass and without it it leads to a really shoddy sound and a terrible backbone of playing. I have to say though, once you get some good timing down, listen to what you want to play, keep it simple and enjoy it, then it will all just come to you nicely. Relax and enjoy it. If some says you sound like sh*t but you like it,,,,well f*** them

[quote name='blackmn90' post='911746' date='Aug 1 2010, 10:51 AM']Wheres all the pickups gone [/quote] for that price i would expect bootsy himself to play the fricking thing

[quote name='BassIsThePlace' post='911598' date='Aug 1 2010, 12:52 AM']Right. How's that fuzz-wah workin out for you?[/quote] its working out fine thanks, but its a fuzz and a wah!!!! it isnt going to make my grooves sound funky. what it does however is make MY playing sound distorted with a wah!!

it doesnt matter what you use or what you use it through. you may get better mids in various basses or amps for funk,,,,,,or better 'twang' thats needed for slap. however my quest for the tone or 'sound' im looking for will never be found. Funk or any other genre isnt found in basses or electrics. ITS FOUND IN TECHNIQUE..............

its all on the one baby, a dont know why hes charging hundreds for info he has given away for free hahahahahahaha [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHE6hZU72A4&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHE6hZU72A4...feature=related[/url]

yeah but we wont hold being east coasters against you chaps

let me tell you where im at!!!!!!!!!!!hhhmmmmmmmmmmm if its Epiphone........ then im out (in the tone of duncan ballantyne)
