Sort of like when you can see the patina on old worn faded metal...

All I can see is a white space with a 'pin it' box. Android 😖

I think it's because we're a 3 piece (+ vox) that it sticks out to me, but as WoT said, to everyone else it sounds right.

Thanks for the replies. I tried the octave thing, but one of the notes in question, is D. I play it fret 5 on the A string. The octave up is too high, and the octave down is too low. Doh!

So we've got Dirty Old Town down for St Patrick's Day (yes I know it's not Irish). I'm keeping the bass simple, roots and fifths, and roots and the down a fourth (generally minims in 4/4). So if the chord is C, and I'm playing C then down to G, then the next chord is G, staying on the G sounds a bit bare, and passing notes sound a bit bolted on. My question is, what do you do when the last note (fourth or fifth) is the same as the next root note?

let the market decide. Plus if you get interest in certain items, your reaction will tell you how much you want to let it go...

I'd love to have a rant and storm out of a rehearsal. Unfortunately I'm perfectly happy in the bands I play in

there's a Marshall bass amp, and the casing is like a cage so you can see inside. On a dark stage with the valves glowing, it don't get much sexier Can't find a pic though...

Jon's been asking about the colour/finish. I'm still not sure, though I'm thinking maybe a Steampunk vibe? Not necessarily extraneous cogs and dials, but stripped and bare...

Best damn chicken in the state!

and there's me thinking this was going to be a thread about the dietary requirements of bass players

wowzers! Good on ya! Whoever gets them, see you there, come and say 'hello' at the Basschat stand...

If you want sparse, the bass line for Creep, by the Radiohead is essentially 3 notes. G, B and C.

I'm guessing lightweight class D?

some musicians should be committed

i usually take one of mine

to paraphrase Frankie Boyle (talking about Top of the Pops): the only way they could make the Brits better, is to go back in time 20 years to last time anyone gave a stinky poo.

Earthquake - Larry Graham

1982 what a year: Vincent Price and Micheal Jackson; and Orson Welles and Manowar!

Jazz supremo Laurence Cottle played bass on The Headless Cross album by Black Sabbath. He's in the video too for the single, but Neil Murray did the tour.

Not TV, but I've spent a gig watching the limiter display 😰

I'll start: Elton John played piano for Saxon, on the Rock the Nations album.

The vocalist in my bands usually have a drink of some description on stage. Totally necessary to keep the vocal cords lubricated.
