NS Omnibass - anyone play one on a strap?
ambient replied to JapanAxe's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Never played one, but they do look pretty amazing . -
Bump. -
I was for the first 2 years. Then I started having lessons because I felt that I had hit a wall, and was no longer progressing. I then had to re-learn what I had done technique wise. I had lessons off the same guy on and off for about 4 years. I then had more lessons when I switched to playing 6 string bass, these were off the guy who turned into my biggest bass playing influence, Steve Lawson. I had lessons from him for about 3 years. I've since done a HND in popular music performance, and recently graduated with a BMus (hons).

[quote name='tobiewharton' timestamp='1438987012' post='2839304'] As with everything on YouTube, there's gold and there's tripe. It seems to be getting better and better though, as I suppose is to be expected. Why is the prevalence of the tritone substitution ironic Ambient? [/quote] Ah, the tritone which used to be called the devils interval or diabolus in musica was banned by the church, nowadays it's used widely in gospel music.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1438941073' post='2838788'] Using nothing but Logic, I've made my first song in it. I even used the BC comp photo for inspiration OK, I need to learn more about using it for EQing & mastering to get a more professional sound, but the things it can do are immense! Well chuffed with it! [url="https://soundcloud.com/xgsjx/in-flight"]https://soundcloud.com/xgsjx/in-flight[/url] [/quote] Really good, I like it !

There are lots of videos - youtube and otherwise re gospel bass. I was watching some with my student. It's a little ironic the prevalence of the tritone substitution in gospel.

Given that unless you sit at the back of a function room listening though headphones to the original song, I doubt that anyone would really be bothered that the original song was played on a Fender P bass, and you're playing it on a 6 string Modulus. The most important thing is to play in time, and to play the right notes using as close as possible to the right feel for the song.

Didn't Jeff Berlin once play with them ? I think Tony Levin should play with them.

I think sometimes a band is classed as Prog because they don't fit into any other classification. My favourite is probably King Crimson in the court of the crimson king.

You're so right. I've only played with a 'real' piano once, that was last year in a studio in a university in London last summer. The feel is totally different. You get more sustain in the piano, that you don't with an electric instrument, the body of the piano resonates. I love hearing guys like Bill Evans play.

There's a guy I'm teaching who is hugely into gospel music. Guys he recommended to me are the following - Fred Hammond Sharay Reed Andrew Gouche - I knew about him already. Darrel Freeman 😊

Can you sell DVDs in 'other musically related items' ?
ambient replied to ambient's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='MB1' timestamp='1438897387' post='2838596'] MB1. Yes If they're musically related? Or put them in the Sell Anything section [/quote] Thanks -
They are bass related. There's Allan Holdsworth with Jimmy Haslip, Michel Pettruciani with Anthony Jackson, a couple of Dream Theater, Michael Manring, and a few others too.

My other experience, (not bass related), I was on holiday with my brother, and staying in a Travelodge on fishermans wharf in San Fransisco. I woke one night a could clearly see a figure crouching down at the foot of the one bed, hands and arms over the head. It disappeared after a few seconds. The following night my brother woke me shouting, he had seen the figure of a woman, dressed in old fashioned clothing, standing at the foot of his bed. The area was devastated by an earthquake and fire in 1906. Was the figure that I saw protecting herself from smoke and fire ?

Is Keef right, Sgt Peppers is a load of tosh?
ambient replied to PaulWarning's topic in General Discussion
I don't like it personally, but I don't like 60s music anyway. However it is most definitely a landmark recording, for all the reasons mentioned by mr Discreet. -
This is possibly the ultimate looper, as used by the maestro and my old teacher, and huge influence Steve Lawson. I bought this from on here approximately 3 months ago, and had huge plans for incorporating it into my solo bass compositions. I've wanted one for years, after hearing and seeing what Steve was doing with his. I've never used it though, except for maybe an hour on the first day that I had it. I don't drive, and therefore need my gear to be as easily transportable as possible, so really rack mount gear isn't very practical. I also need to raise some funds to pay towards my MMus course that starts in September. It is in excellent condition, and comes in a brand new Gator rack bag thing that I bought for it to live in. Check out any Steve Lawson video on youtube for an idea of what these can do. It is collection only, or I could possibly deliver for the price of train fare. £425, which I think is a good price, bearing in mind that these are quite rare, the guy that builds them, doesn't anymore. Partial trades welcome - effects pedals.

It's cos you try too hard.

One string too few unfortunately. 😊

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1438790857' post='2837384'] I can only assume you're selling these because they're open-backed. They are superb 'phones. Just about the best you can buy without spending silly money. [/quote] They are amazing. I'm selling mainly because I need to raise some money towards my MMus course.
