ambient

Have you tried google ? I remember coming across something last year where there was a list of his effects thorough the years. He used the phase 90 a lot in the early 80s.

With regard to expression, beauty and emotion ? I find that I'm listening to more and more classical music recently. Except for stuff that I do for uni, I don't listen to anything with a rhythm section at all. I just heard Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings on classic FM, what a beautiful piece of music. Earlier they played the theme to Schindlers list by John Williams. I can't think of a contemporary piece of music that's so hauntingly beautiful.

There was a thread that I started recently where a few of the contributors seemed to take great pleasure in ridiculing what I'd posted, or rather what they [b][i]thought[/i][/b] I'd posted, which wasn't actually the same thing at all.

[quote name='aidanhallbass' timestamp='1427058253' post='2725298'] Not eBay but I just put a wanted ad on gumtree and was contacted by someone offering me what I wanted and sent pictures.. Turns out the pictures are from another live ad in Scotland when they claimed to live in poole. They requested I sent money to them via bank transfer as they didn't have paypal. These are the details they used 07974589172 [email protected] Thanks [/quote] I always only ever deal in person with buying or selling on Bumtree, seems to be the best thing.

[quote name='Drax' timestamp='1427064504' post='2725440'] Money split them up but it's brought them back together again [/quote] Yeah, I heard that whoever did the songwriting gave everyone a cut of the songwriting royalties, but stopped that when the band split up. So they took him to court to get it reinstated. He was totally within his rights to do this, the wording of the contract at the time allowed for it, but for obvious reasons they were a bit peeved. Though they still received royalties from being on the original recordings.

I thought they'd all fallen out, besides the 2 brothers ?

Well, the usual thing at a bass show is to slap something very loud, and not pay any notice at all to timing accuracy

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1426888301' post='2723264'] Do they, though? [/quote] Well yes, this is a remix, not an original work. Unless the remix guy got permission which I doubt, then the owner is the original composer/songwriter.

[quote name='Chrismanbass' timestamp='1426960112' post='2724114'] problem being that it's not his original work its an arrangement of a previously copyrighted piece of music [/quote] That's what I was getting at in my first post.

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1426971619' post='2724378'] Am i too late to put in my recently acquired Trace rig?? And yes, the amp face does light up. [/quote] Cool, love the way you have your gear mounted on the wall

The Motown book is pretty good. Jazz walking bass line transcriptions are good too, most pop or rock lines are often quite diatonic, walking bass lines often throw in non diatonic/chromatic passing notes that can trip you up.

[quote name='warriorbass05' timestamp='1398211395' post='2431777'] oh boy.....I am running out of room for all this green goodness! [url="http://s70.photobucket.com/user/warriorbass05/media/Trace_zpse1e15a16.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Have you had to have your floor strengthened ?

Sounds to me like the battery in your bass.

That looks pretty cool. How long do you actually play for ?

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1426888433' post='2723266'] I'm pretty sure that if you post some original thing on YouTube, YouTube owns the rights to it. [/quote] I'm not sure that's right. I have a few videos on youtube with my music, I don't remember giving up my rights to the ownership of it.

Surely all the copyrights belong to the original composer/songwriter ?

I use Status on my Modulus, not the greatest strings, but they're OK. If you want Thomastik, then get them from Thomman.

The one thing I make a point of asking every student, at the end of every lesson, is "have you learned something ?". I plan my lessons in advance, they're not just made up on the spot. I also tailor them to suit a students wants. However I think a tutor also needs to say to a student what they think the student needs to learn, even if it's different to what the student wants. A recent new student of mine is a fairly old guy, who's owned a bass for almost as long as I've been alive, but has never really played it, other than to work out a couple of bass lines. When he first phoned me, we chatted and he said that he'd set himself a target, that by the end of the year, he wanted to be able to say that he was a bass player. On his first lesson I got him to play something, we then tackled the basics of holding the bass, and left hand technique etc, I gave him exercises at home to work on. I then gave him a diagram that I'd done showing the notes on the first 5 frets. He asked why he needed that, he wasn't interested in learning to read music, he just wanted to use TAB. So I explained I wasn't going to teach him to read music, but that in my opinion knowing what the notes were that he was playing would make a huge, huge difference, and it wasn't a difficult thing to do. He reluctantly agreed, went away, and to be honest I wasn't expecting him to come back the next time. He did though, and he'd made huge progress with his technique, and had learned most of the notes, and had identified how they repeat around the fretboard With regard to qualifications, I think it depends on the qualification, I think going to someone with an actual teaching qualification would be a great idea, rather than just someone with a music degree.
