Yeah I haven't had a chance to jam it with anyone yet but you can get some interesting sounds on your own.. The guy who gave the scale suggested using it over Am.. I've put the link below for any curious folk.. http://www.mutantbass.com/exotic-chord-substitution-for-an-a-minor-chord/

Have been doing some reading on chord subs and this scale was suggested: C D# E F# G Ab B The guy advised it was part of the harmonic minor scale but I couldn't find a mode with this interval formula? The closest I could find was the Lydian #2 but then flattening the 6th. Does this mode/scale have a specific name or would it just be Lydian #2 b6 on paper? Thanks!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1386015473' post='2294684'] Ah. Well that's different! Get the Barts/Fralins in and see how they sound! Just don't buy them new though. That way, if you don't like the result, you can probably sell them on for what you paid. [/quote] EXCELLENT. Thanks guys... Post-mod Pictures will be posted. (Also swapping out hardware n shizen)

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1385983568' post='2294241'] That said, why throw an indeterminate amount money into modding the Squier when you could sell it and use that money and the mod money towards an altogether better bass? [/quote] I just really love the feel of that bass, Ive had it since I started playing (sentimental value ha). Such a nice quick neck and I love playing it.. I was thinking of making it my Flatwounds bass, going for a Pino kinda vibe..

I was more leaning towards barts in the Squier.. I'm techtarded so really have no idea about pups. I'm happy with my Stingray and to be honest was more outlining the basses I have so the options were open.. I'm happy with my Jazz, but always looking to improve and as I'd heard so much about barts and then fraley's wanted to try something.. I think it's definitely going to be a mod odyssey for the Squier.. But now poses the question Fraley vs Bartolinis?

My lecturer has recommended me the Lindy Fralin Jazz Pick-ups for my Jazz.. Thoughts?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1385569106' post='2289768'] Isn't the point of owning several different basses that they all have their own sound and doesn't that make them better? [/quote] Indeed.. And I'm not trying to make them sound alike, just better.. I think the P-Bass option is looking inviting but I can't afford to get involved in building a whole new bass! A Fear and Loathing quote springs to mind.. "Not that we needed all that for the job, but once you get locked into a serious bass modification, the tendency is to push it as far as you can."

A lot of people I know swear by Bartolini Pickups.. A friend of mine put some in his Ibanez and they sound amazing.. I have a Mexican Jazz Bass, a Stingray and a P-Bass (Squier) and a Fretless Tanglewood Rebel 4K.. I'm pretty sure I want to try putting some Bartolinis into one of these but I'm not sure which? I love the sound of my Jazz Bass because the fingerstyle is great as is the slap tone.. Do the Bartolinis sound good for slap styles? The Stingray again has it's own particular tone which I'm not sure I want to Jeopradise.. The P-Bass is tempting as it is only a squier, are these pick-ups good enough to make it sound as good/better than a standard P Bass? (I'm thinking put flat wounds on it and use it for a Pino Vibe?) The fretless really is just a piece of garbage.. But Could the Bartolinis give it that boost to become a fairly decent giggable piece of wood? Feel free to answer any questions, any advice is welcome and I'm not expecting one person to be able to help me with advice on all instruments.. Anyone who has used Bartolinis is greatly welcomed.. Cheers!

Yeah.. I'm pretty sure it's the bass from a previous ad and it was bought between three for a band.. I think he's looking for a quick sale to finance another purchase. Don't shoot the messenge! Just trying to make the whole world use Musicmans..

This isn't mine but saw the ad whilst windowshopping on Gumtree and thought somebody might like to get themselves a bargain! http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/musicman-stingray-5-p-string-ebony-bass-guitar-whardshell-case/1038666425

Anybody know a good website to get high quality straps? I'm envious of anyone that doesn't have a terrible guitar village one such as I.. Nice leather would be handy.. Thanks!

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1383865421' post='2270315'] I was sat in a class room at college with maybe 5 or 6 others (all really good players), the guy told us this and we all just sat there looking at each other thinking wow, that's so easy to remember ! [/quote] My lecturer gave us the same tip! Wasn't Franc O Shea by any chance?

Always reference the key you are playing in, the general rule of thumb is not to combine sharps and flats but again some people choose to (such as modes formulae)

Man who sold the world unison line is ascending Mixolydian (In F I think but haven't gigged it in forever!)

Hello.. I have to play these two on friday and being the band whore I am, have no time to check out these tracks before I have to play them.. Does anybody have a chord chart or transcription for these? (Nina Simone for MBJCFM and the original Blue Moon by Richard Rogers) Cheers!

Hello.. Looking for an online resource of Latin Standards (I know there is a Latin Real book.. It's on the Christmas List!) Anybody know of any? Thanks..

I'm an idiot.. Thanks guys..

Hello.. Wondering if anybody knows of an online resource for chord charts and transcriptions (popular songs, jazz, latin etc) P.s Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.. Couldn't find one which seemed apt! Thanks

Hello.. Constantly buzzing around friends for advice on gear so thought I'd sign up here! Living in Brighton studying Bass on a music course, play in a Latin, a funk and a hip hop band Cheers!

Hello.. I need (want) an octave pedal! What I really want is something with a nice rounded sub sound but also interested in one that has the option to go up the octave aswell? I remember a guy telling me Pino had one for the stuff with Paul Young.. Cheers!

Hello.. Just looking for a bit of advice really.. I've been a four string pureist since I started playing however the time has come for me to branch out.. I'd really like a nice decent but cheap and giggable 5 string.. The main problem I've had with the 5 Strings I've tried (couple of Fender Squier V's and a Yamaha) is the string spacing is so small.. I'm use to playing a Stingray which has a hefty neck on it compared to the Fenders. What I'd really love is a Six String (becoming more and more of an Anthony Jackson addict every day at the moment) but I realise that for £300 that is probably quite a tall order! Any ideas on cheap tidy 5 Strings? (Or Sixes if they're around!) Cheers!
