The Chicken. Nothing technically challenging about it, but it's all about nailing the groove and timing. Most Megadeth basslines, but I'll say Holy Wars. Again nothing too technical, it's just relentless!

So, fired up Live Lite 7, and one afternoon later, have successfully upgraded to the still free Live Lite 9. The problem this time, it kept disappearing, and tying to reinstall just gave the 'uninstall' option. It turned out that my Anti virus was quarantining it each time I loaded it, which meant it disappeared from the program folders. Anyway, I eventually sorted that and have downloaded one of their free drum packs, so I'm going to check out the tuition videos.

Seen them many times, with and without Capt or Rat. Last time was about 9 years ago when they headlined the Rock and Blues Custom rally - 30,000 crowd. Was gutted to miss their tour with Motorhead a few years ago.

I found a CD of Ableton Live Lite 7, which was bundled with my line 6 uxb. Will fire it up tomorrow and see how I get on. I've been faffing with MacWifey' s ipad and have been getting the gist of Garage band. So that's the level I'm working from.

Apart from outright Death Metal, Bootsy Collins has done it all. Bootsy roolz [size=4] [/size][size=1]*[/size] [size=1]* couldn't find an emoticon with star glasses. [/size]

Get every (paying) gig until your gig diary is full.

At the moment just my own demos. But I need to be able to create my own drum parts, coz drum loops never have what I want. I play guitar and bass, so my Digitech BP 355 can be used as an interface.

Yup tried it. Far too complicated for a numpty like me

Has anyone experience of Traverso, or Jokosher DAW's? They are both open source software and free.

Inspired by this thread, I thought I'd load up the copy of Cubase LE 5 which came with my Digitech pedal. One wasted afternoon later, bottom line is it can't be loaded because the included software to enter the product key is out of date, and can not be updated by a computer running XP.

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1432978035' post='2786691'] Pencil me in for coming along, we may have some friends staying that weekend. Not sure what I could bring along tho...Musicman Sabre ? Geddy Lee Jazz ? [/quote] I'd like to try the Geddy Lee. They always seem to get good write ups, don't think I've ever read a bad review.

Pink rules [size=4]I've got a pink-burst Jay Jay French Epiphone Les Paul [/size] The Fender looks awesome, a real pink, not like salmon pink which is only pretending to be pink.

Thanks!

Super cheap option has MacDaddy written all over it! Do I actually need an interface, or will a Jack to USB cable do? I have powered monitors connected to the speaker out on my computer, most interfaces seem to want speakers connected to the interface?

Not played one but think they look awesome.

TimR the fact the bass was fine, was more due to luck than judgement. Had it been your NBD and you found your new bass had been thrown over the fence and left out in the rain, with someone fraudulently signing receipt, would you really have the same opinion?

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1432050811' post='2777590'] Taking things to the top can very often avoid a lot of being pissed about. And if the driver really was sacked (he probably was) then hopefully the word will spread amongst Parcel Force drivers, and the OP will have done us all a favour. [/quote] this

I bought a combo from Wunjo bass (Denmark Street) in person, they couriered it the same day so I didn't have to carry it home.

[quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1431807388' post='2775255'] Thank you all for your replies. MacDaddy that YT link is great as you are able to alter it speed and view exactly what he is playing however your second link doesnt seem to show anything but a random selection of YT videos. [/quote] Doh! Just tried it, and on my Kindle it goes to another bassist playing the tune, but closer to the camera.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1431783123' post='2774951'] This may help? [url="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bVOqAWl0jAA"]http://m.youtube.com...h?v=bVOqAWl0jAA[/url] [/quote] This is a bit better. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=dEZ3EigCCzg

[quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1431768507' post='2774725'] I was a massive Queen fan up until about 1977 which is long before I got my first bass so I tended to not listen with any particular attention to JD's basslines instead I just listened to the whole ensemble. However of late I have been rekindling my interest in their early stuff particularly Sheer Heart Attack and was extremely impressed by his playing. He is a phenomenal bassist and surely fits into the category of under rated bassists simply by dint of not appearing in many peoples top ten lists. Flick Of The Wrist aside from being a great song has a wonderful bassline that I really want to learn but the few tabs I have seen so far dont seem very close. Anyone know of a decent tab for this song or sheet music? [/quote] This may help? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bVOqAWl0jAA

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1431726769' post='2774500'] I don't know of any cover bands that can tour the country and sell 500-2,000 seats anywhere. Blue [/quote] The Australian Pink Floyd have played Wembley Arena, 12,500 seats and play arenas around the world, including the USA.
