This is a bloody steal!!

HO!! there he is! Thanks for the pics mate - I really like the blueburst finish - I very nearly had a 5 string Arpege in the same colour. Have you replaced the ROM preamp? Can I see an extra switch on the bass?

I will ask Eubassix about it, I always forget. I'm on it!

Appreciate it mate. I discovered Meyer through my custom radio station at pandora.com and got the album straight away. I think it likened it to Steely Dan, which I guess is true in terms of production at the very least.

I haven't knowingly heard Ozomatli but have been told I would like them too - added to my list! One band I also came accross that was quite fun was 'Hootie and the Blowfish' lol

Cheers

I think the OLP basses are great value for money - I really liked mine!

Thats the one! Thanks very much for the info mate. I am looking forward to listening to the album again! I noticed he has loads of albums, presumably with various musicians - what else would you reccomend to a chap who likes excellent production and tight grooves ;0)

Cheers

Oh? I was going to find out who plays bass but it sounds like you are abit of a pro - My fave tracks are number 2 and 'Vultures' and 'Dancing in a room' or something, cant remember off the top of my head. Who plays on those?? Very nice and understated nevertheless. Bass drum sound in 'Vultures is perfect!

Pretty random, that - I just started listening to John yesterday. 'Contunuum' is a great album! Love the production on it.

Lovely stuff - Here are my three!



Cheers!

Me and Kiwi had a look at that fretless leaf thingy at the Gallery - didn't plug it in but it felt really nice to hold. I couldn't work out how it was tuned at all!!

I think you are correct - I remember reading that somewhere, possibly in the linear notes of Rhinoplasty?

Check it

Hi Nick!! A Vigier fan, eh?? Great stuff. I had a look at your website - the group shot was a bit risky if you have theiving neighbours!!

Great to have you on board. Can you guess what I want to see pics of? Thats right. ;0)

Eubassix had a Marleaux-Pagelli. He liked it!

Thanks Dave!

I woudn't see it being of any use on bass, thats for sure! Slide players find it useful so they can switch from bar tunings and so on mid song I guess.

It looks like this:

Sonny Landreth, a slide guitar player, has a funky kind of looyd rose type floating trem which tunes itself via a small control pad and four buttons. You can see it on the Gov't mule 'Deepest End' dvd.

You might like to try an OLP stingray - the spacing is tighter than a standard ray 5, and they are extremely good basses. I beleive we are talking 17mm or less, so pretty tight.

You wanna check out 'pops' popwell

I have this for sale [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3725&hl=carvin+marleaux"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...carvin+marleaux[/url] it is an absolutely fantastic bass. There are some sound clips on the advert. I haven't tried the heads but they look good value - the only opinion I have heard was on this site where someone said they were a bit lifeless but who knows, each to their own and all that. If you like it, brill.

Lol.

To be honest I would ignore him too - just play what you like doing and if he doesn't like it, well he can deal with it. All to often I see players having lessons from guitar players who also teach bass and seem to think because they play guitar they can do bass too - because its easier, right?? These kind of teachers always try and produce boring root plodders who play like they would rather be on guitar anyway! Such a bass 'teacher' once told me NOBODY uses chorus on bass. I mean honestly.

Lol you cheeky bugger I didn't see that!

Hehe you would hope so. You don't wanna drop them on the floor, either.

No info as such Tom but I think each of the little circles is effectively a little single coil pickup. I think each is placed according to the sweet spot on each string and voila...

Some of those Extravaganza models are great! I like the punk P bass and the Jazz bass with the tube in it!!!
