It depends how often you use it I guess. I seldom record vocals, when I do and I need Melodyne I just download the free trial using a new email address .

[quote name='tredders' timestamp='1451670277' post='2942296'] I've used Peter Allen for the last 10 years or so. He's always been consistently excellent. Website below - he's just outside Warwick, about 5 mins off the M40 Warwick turning. [url="http://www.guitartechnicalservices.co.uk"]http://www.guitartec...lservices.co.uk[/url] [/quote] I contacted him once. He seemed............odd. He basically told me that he would set it up, as he wanted it, not how I wanted it. He seemed to think that what everyone else did was wrong. Just my experience of him.

John Diggins. There's a guy in Coventty too, just in the city centre at a shop called noise works.

I didn't think the LM2 was a class D. I may be totally wrong with this.

This has to be my favourite Jazz bass tone. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsum9ortSFc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsum9ortSFc[/url] I remember having this track on repeat for days when I first heard it. I think jazz basses are an instrument that really bring out an individual's personal sound.

Can you buy just the strap part ? I've seen the bit that screws into the bass for sale, but not the strap part on it's own. I don't really want to part with £17 for the complete thing, when I only need the one part.

I'm possibly the wrong person to reply to this, I really don't like classic rock at all. However, I would say that if you and your band mates are happy, then ignore him. Kind of odd that you're doing s gig and he's not 😊.

Anything by the Beatles. Anything by the Rolling Stones. Anything by Stereophonics. Anything by ZZ Top. Anything that comes under the description of 'classic rock', particularly Deep purple, Thin Lizzy, Free, Queen. Then also - Long train running. You really got me. Proud Mary. Sex on fire. Mustang Sally. All right now (god, do I hate that !). Brown eyed girl. Moondance (no, it's not jazz). Mr Brightside. Play that funky music. Superstitious. Summer of 69. Car wash. There's a whole toad to be honest .

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1451492573' post='2940955'] Quite. But which are the ones everyone knows? The pop tunes. Playing blues in E gets boring fairly quickly. [/quote] Knocking on heaven's door. Wild thing. You really got me. Sweet home Alabama. I saw her standing there. Mustang Sally. Long train running. Proud Mary. Most early Stones songs.

I remember seeing a book a few years ago. Called something like play these tunes with just 3 chords.

Pretty much any blues or blues based song will just have 3 chords I IV V7. There's literally hundreds of them.

They make some nice stuff. I use Kontakt 5 for my Spitfire Audio sample libraries.That came with a whole host of stuff that I haven't gotten around to using yet.

If you go for the gun case then be careful at train stations 😊.

You see the same on here though. There's a particular bass that's for sale at the moment, if you search through the sales adverts you'll see its been sold a couple of times before, (or one has that looks very, very similar), for a lot, lot less. Probably why it's still for sale.

It works fine on my iphone.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1450966703' post='2937461'] Trad? Never! Just conjures up images of cardigans, Brylcreem and Hush Puppies. Dixieland, with the likes of Kid Ory and King Oliver, every time. [/quote] I kind of thought that Trad was Dixieland, or at least the English take on it ? Either is fine by me. I'll happily play 'When the saints go marching in', over 'Summer of 69' or 'Sex on fire' .

It's certainly an awkward, and potentially an unpleasant situation. Personally, I'm pretty rubbish at this sort of thing, I prefer to just play for bands, rather than joining them. I would absolutely hate to be sax number 1, and find that I'm out of the band. He obviously seems to enjoy it, even though he has other things on. It seems to me at least, that the band isn't really a 'serious' thing, though I may be wrong. So could it not be more of a collective of musicians rather than a band ? So whoever can make it to a rehearsal or gig does, and if they can't, then they can't. The 2 saxes can work things out between them, as to who plays what, and when. It is Christmas too .

[quote name='AinsleyWalker' timestamp='1450987513' post='2937710'] Either I'm looking at the wrong thing but Session 1 includes two files. One is sheet music and one is a track... The whole point is that I can't read yet, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to progress from there... [/quote] Lessons are a good idea. I good teacher should have a few different ways to explain something. It needn't be a bass teacher, I learned loads at uni from guys who were primarily pianists.

I played a few trad jazz gigs a couple of years ago. They were actually quite good fun.

There are lots of very ugly ones out there. Some look very, very strange.The only ones I like are the Fodera models.

What has going to grammar school got to do with being working class or otherwise ? I wouldn't personally describe McCartney as having had a middle class upbringing.
