[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1489677825' post='3258916'] Same problem here... I'd like one that supports the bass from the neck but can't find one with a wide enough grip. [/quote] That's ideally what I want. I had a Hercules grab type that was just wide enough for a 6, but only just wide enough.

Specifically for my new Overwater 7 string Progress. At the moment I'm using a Hercules mini stand which isn't really ideal.

Any of the Bach cello suites sound nice. I've got solo bass chord melody arrangements that I did last year scored out for autumn leaves, when I fall in love, summertime and what a wonderful world. They're for 6 string bass though. Just play the melody line with a bass note underneath. Sometimes the melody note is part of the chord which sounds really nice.

I'm in London Tuesday and Wednesday, if Marylebone and Kilburn are any good ?

It would depend on the work involved. If they were expecting me to learn an entire set then that would be taken into account in what I ask. It's not just those 2 or 3 hours then don't forget.

Brilliant, I'd love to have been there. So sad that they're closing it down as a performance space.

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1488341721' post='3248056'] It's also hugely expensive. Handmade in Japan, like the Adam Nitti bass. I believe it is 14mm string spacing, which is tight! [/quote] They do I believe male a cheaper model too.

The tc polytune clip does. The planet waves PT10 also does. I sometimes don't use standard A=440hz tuning, the PT10 still tunes a low B.

[quote name='Downdown' timestamp='1488035092' post='3245238'] Yes, that is a widely touted idea, but it's not so much that you APPLY for copyright because it automatically belongs to the creator of the work. The trick is to be able to PROVE you're the creator of the work, hence sending yourself a sealed letter. There will be other methods of course. [/quote] With modern recording and production done on a computer all the files will be dated, so proving you're the owner and creator is theoretically a lot easier nowadays. Personally I would be very diplomatic about the whole thing. Just email them and ask them to stop.

The Ibanez Gerald Veasley model is very tight,

ICMP seem to be expanding and investing money in the facilities quite a bit. I graduated in 2015, but was there just before Christmas doing a masterclass for some year 3 bmus students. The place had changed quite a lot. They'd taken over another floor in the one building and they're also building on what was the car park at the rear. Best thing really is to go along to each school on one of their open days. Speak to the staff and the students, then decide,

No problem. The higher diploma is the Btec by the way. They also accept passing it as being sufficient to gain entry to the Bmus.

I did the ICMP higher diploma, and then the BMus. Both are excellent. The higher diploma is essentially the same as the first year of the BMus. I did audition for BIMM, and got an offer. A friend of mine did 2 years at BIMM on their BA, he transferred to ICMP for his final year, and he says that ICMP's course was far a far, far higher standard. I owe ICMP a lot.

You don't say what the interval was between the original offer, and then the text saying the regular guy can do one. Personally I'd thank them and do the one. If there was quite a period between the original offer and the next text, then I'd diplomatically mention it to them, say you've turned work down in the meantime. Why fuss, and fall out with them though?

I would just drop them a polite email. You don't really want to fall out with them. A similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago where a track of mine was used on something that ended up being sold as download without my permission.

Joe Frasier by Jeff Berlin for an exam. I have to admit to approaching it with the wrong frame of mind. I don't like his playing, and that annoyed me. He seems to be of the mind, why play two notes when I can play eight, oh there's a space, there, I'll stick four notes in.
