Higgie

Both my fretless and fretted SR4's have the lowest action out of all my basses. The fretless is obviously the lowest without any frets to buzz against, but the action on my fretted is still stupidly low! I believe the string spacing at the bridge to be 19mm. Hope that helps

A few bum notes here and there...but you're right, that JV Precision sounds the nuts! [quote name='3V17C' post='696690' date='Dec 30 2009, 08:30 PM']drummer needs to learn the proper fills in Black Night![/quote] Haha, yeah I'd love him to play it like the track! I don't dislike the way he plays it, but I agree it would sound better played like the track.

Posted this in the Recordings forum as I didn't see this thread. Here is my band [url="http://www.myspace.com/tornband"]Torn[/url] playing Black Night (complete with bum notes from me!!), and here are a list of our [url="http://www.livebandphotos.com/bandgiglist/?Torn"]gigs[/url]. There are a couple more videos of us from the same user on Youtube

Thanks for the kind words John. I agree about Fly Away, not quite sure what went on there! Sam and I wrote out some more songs we're thinkin of doing, so drastic changes to the set list coming soon

My 82 Squier JV PBass is the best P i've ever heard/played, let alone owned! I consider myself extremely lucky to own such a bass! No Fender could ever beat it.

[quote name='pete.young' post='695694' date='Dec 29 2009, 04:24 PM']Nice work Higgie. Hearing that bassline really was a 'stop the car by the side of the road and listen in wonder' moment for me. What software did you use to notate this, if you dont' mind me askin' ?[/quote] Hi Pete, thanks alot! Just good old Guitar Pro 5 - Export as PDF I have been meaning to get the rest of this done, but haven't had a lot of time. I will try and finish it by the end of the week! Cheers

Not a problem mate, I like to transcribe stuff every now and then just to make sure my ears are still working, might as well help someone out in the process! I'll have a look at maybe getting this done this afternoon/evening if I get the chance, but don't want to promise anything!!

Sounds wicked! I'm much more impressed with these samples than I was with the Octavius Squeezer when it was first released. I guess it doesn't have all the firmware related bugs the OS had either. Looks like there is finally a readily available alternative to the Deep Impact!

Ok so my notation skills aren't perfect, I found it really hard to replicate the feel in the score, but as far as I can tell the notes are right, so you should be able to match them to the song and nail the feel by your self! This is all I could knock up since my last post, and is from when the bass enters, up to the first chorus Hope it helps, may finish it off tomorrow if I get time!

Ok after looking at this for a bit I have worked out most of it, so will notate it at some point this week Cheers

Would also be grateful for a full transcription of this. Anyone have a copy of said BP magazine they wouldn't mind scanning in please? Cheers

The bass tone on the Scala gig is immense...and the playing even more so! Some awesome lines from Mr Turner that night...

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='690171' date='Dec 20 2009, 09:30 PM']Why does he need two tuners?[/quote] 2 seperate signal chains maybe? One could be for the upright and the other for his basses.

Astute observation Sir! I can only assume that having spent a good few grand on an Alleva he wanted to get the use out of it

[quote name='Mokl' post='690144' date='Dec 20 2009, 09:13 PM']I know, it's just that I don't like having my integrity or experience questioned...... lol[/quote] Yeah, but at least you have the integrity and experience in the first place, which it seems neither he, or the git in the other shop have at all

[quote name='Faithless' post='690137' date='Dec 20 2009, 09:06 PM']WTF, Paul Turner played fiver? He said, he prefers 4ers, because he can't cope with how B string sounds (too much different from E)..[/quote] Yup, uses 5's for Jamiroquai as the Low B is needed for a lot of their stuff, but prefers playing 4's. I met him through a friend and he's an absolutely lovely bloke.

Look on the bright side - He's gonna be the one having trouble playing it, not you

Had a gig on friday depping for a mate of mine (Ziggydolphinboy on here) at The Bull in Colchester. Had a wicked night, the place was rammed. Although some stupid drunken bint fell over and threw the remainder of her drink all over my Pedaltrain!! I was tempted to knock her back down to the floor once she got up!! Some quick work with a towel and all was well again, luckily nothing damaged. Last night had a gig with my own band [url="http://www.myspace.com/tornband"]Torn[/url] at the Valentine in Gants Hill. None of my mates could make it so I expected the place to be empty, but it was also rammed like the night before, we had a terrific gig and the place went wild when we went into Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody as the final number. There are photos from the gig at [url="http://www.livebandphotos.com/Torn"]http://www.livebandphotos.com/Torn[/url] If you scroll down and click the "most recent pictures" button you can see them from the beginning. I was playing my JV Squier P and my Musicman Stingray through the Aguilar rig and the sound was awesome

I don't know how to describe what I do on stage apart from "grooving"

Play the C on the E string with your index finger, then use your little finger for the for the D#, 3rd finger for the high D, index finger for the C and little finger for the A#. That's how I play it anyway
