  1. Like him or loathe him, he’s the reason that I started playing bass. I admit he’s not Michael man ring but it is “in the pocket, in time” bass which is what most people expect to hear
  2. Tc electronic bh250: aux in headphone out 250w if you connect a cab Toneprint app its tiny
  3. That didn’t show @BassAgent i speak German, French and small bits of other languages such as Czech, Irish and italian It’s a brave thing to venture your language skills outside your comfort zone, I’ve had to do that myself and I know how it feels I worked with this German lady, married to an Englishman with English speaking kids, working as a translator and she regularly made major mistakes it really isn’t easy and as speakers of a weltsprach, we lose sight of it
  4. We were bursting out of dovecotes …. Not 😛
  5. Dovecotes ? I played this bass and it was awesome
  6. View this through the lens of someone who natively speaks another language and you will realise how weird and alarmingly contextual English is. It’s a really hard language to master we have a huge advantage in learning it as children
  7. Tc electronic bh250 has headphone socket and aux in. Ridiculously loud when connected to a cab 👍
  8. Just chill, given that it is arguable whether jk is jamiroquai or merely a member, and so therefore your prior use of “is” or “are” depends on your point of view. To leverage the Turing test, if you can exchange messages with someone who speaks your native language as well as you do, they have truly arrived in linguistic competency
  9. To be fair, it’s really hard to tell that from reading your output. Your few mistakes are ones that English native speakers from some regions also make I have IELTS grade 9 and I notice things like that
  10. Is it, dare one ask, any good for metal ?
  11. Stick it on Facebook, or contact @Len_derby his charity may be able to use it
  12. Holy tuck I wish I didn’t already own an acoustic bass
  13. Doesn’t he say he does that already ? perhaps I misunderstood
  14. I would have thought that the best approach was both. Learning by ear to survive real life and also notation / theory to learn things that you cannot directly listen to, and to communicate with others
  15. It was somewhat tongue in cheek
  16. It’s something about my particular physiognomy. He was right
  17. My teacher told me that my automatic choice of leading finger was leading me to swing time. He was 100% right i now lead with my middle finger
  18. I think I’ve played this, or an identical one at a bass bash, attended by @Prosebass
  19. I point you to the work of Duck Dunn, watch the two Blues Brothers movies and you can see a groove genius at work - his work is simpler to learn than James Jamersons and more groove than funky imho. before I get flamed, I hugely admire both of them
  20. I’ve never left it, but with your last paragraph you are straying to The Dark Side and I urge you to avoid it like the plague Yoda would be proud, stick to the righteous path of bass, avoid the six string w**kery
  21. They’re quite good enough for me and so very quiet. Result
  22. It’s not about being a people pleaser, you’re being a bassist-pleaser and supplying us with valve-porn. It is righteous work
  23. I watched her with gwen stefani she was singing early winter whilst gwen got changed. Gail Ann is a very talented lady at one point, gwen, Gail Ann and their tamed guitard were a few inches away. He was playing a telecaster shaped toy bass
  24. Pictures, please pretend we are guitarists and cannot understand words
