ambient

In my experience most gigs will pretty much have a standard repertoire of songs. Best to get a pad of charts together, and practice transposing them. There are a couple of useful Facebook pages and groups where you can advertise, and where bands advertise.

Standing in the shadows of motown is pretty good. No TAB though, it's all standard notation, but you do get a CD backing track included with the isolated bass track.

I'd agree that ambient is a Good Egg, with deservedly great confidence and talent in spades; enough to risk exposition, and so can brush off any snidy quips with ease. He's unlikely to win a 'volume war', though..! [/quote] I'm actually seriously lacking in the self confidence department. Your volume war comment is absolutely spot on though. I hate loud music, this is what the examiner said about my stuff regarding volume, and how it's intended to be heard. The Eno quote made me smile, and happy.

A lot of the amazon sellers have real shops too. Maybe check a few of them out ?

There's one of my old tutors from uni posts on here does online lessons. Check the theory and technique section for details. His name is Hugh Richardson. He's a great player and tutor.

Slightly off topic maybe, but possibly of interest seeing that this is a musicians website. There's a petition here that's quite interesting http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/show-the-album-credits.fb49?source=s.icn.fb&r_by=13615574

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1436182015' post='2815613'] We had an interesting exchange just before Christmas; I'd hope to not have caused offence in my (often tactless...) remarks. It's not that I don't [i]like [/i]your music, rather that, with my aged ears, I just can't [i]hear [/i]it..! Still, if you're unable to see this, we're both handicapped, eh..? [/quote] No, I like your posts, again they're often very funny and cause me to smile

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1436132213' post='2815297'] That confirms it Don't remember the incident,but apologies for any offence [/quote] No , but thanks anyway

[quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1436130258' post='2815274'] Wasnt me was it ? If you dont reply then I'll take that as a yes and guess your ignoriing me for something I dont remember. Opinions are like arseholes, we all got one, but its usually safer to keep it out of sight. [/quote] No

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1436096403' post='2814862'] If that [i]wasn't [/i]me I sympathise with you. If it [i]was [/i]me, you won't be able to see this post! [/quote] It wasn't you I find your posts genuinely funny, this guy only [b][i]thinks[/i][/b] he's funny.

[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1436036198' post='2814534'] Thanks all, Does anyone use Reverbnation as we're already on there? [/quote] I had a discussion with some friends a couple of weeks ago about Reverbnation. The overwhelming consensus was that it was extremely annoying and pretty useless. I left it a couple of years ago, after failing to get it to do what I wanted, I'm still getting emails from them now, asking if I know this band, or this artist.

Record and cd fairs are pretty good, especially if you like browsing.

Everyone has on opinion, and is entitled to share it. However sometimes it may be best to keep it to yourself. People do have feelings after all. Just because someone makes a mistake, that shouldn't entitle someone else to use that mistake as a basis to criticise someone, or make fun of them. If you do share your opinion, and the result is that you upset someone, then you should be prepared to apologise for that. There's someone on here who I'm ignoring at the moment, he used an error of mine as the basis for a smart and sarcastic post. He obviously thought himself too clever to apologise.

Mine directs you to my bandcamp and soundcloud etc. Sell via bandcamp, it's free, easy to use and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's used by a lot of guys like Steve Lawson for example. You can sell merch on there as well as CDs and digital.

Have you heard of the band Rothko ? They were 2 sometimes 3 bassists. What I do here is solo bass, I've also done some with another bassist too, I'm always looking for collaborations, and playing in a band situation would be great, you're maybe a bit far away though.

I used amazon, I don't remember paying anything extra. I'm buying something new soon, but I'm waiting a few days to see if the exchange rate drops in my favour.
