[quote name='bubinga5' post='1109468' date='Jan 31 2011, 02:17 PM']i dont listen to alot of this genre of music.. but i genuinely really liked that!! thanks for sharing... just one thing... we dont see enough of your bass! playing is great.. is it a Squire, or a 75 ri?[/quote] +1 not enough bass player Love the bass sound, plenty of bottom end without sounding muddy.

In the vid Billy says the Fender P is the greatest bass ever made. So no point buying his Yamaha then?

I've had my rig (2x10 combo on top, 2x12 underneath) for about 5 years. I've used it for 2 auditions, 1 rehearsal and 2 gigs. When I was gigging I usually went through the provided backline or DI'd from my ME-50B. For rehearsals I use the studio amps, and at home I play through the computer which has studio monitors. Don't get me wrong, my rig is quality (IMO) - it's Tech Soundsystems - but as I'm without a car at the moment it's more convenient not to use it. Plus I'm happy with sounds from the ME-50B when DI'd, so I'm wondering do I really need my rig? Silddx is my inspiration as he seems to be quite happy to be rigless and just use his POD floorboard.

used to play Pumping on your Stereo in an old band. Great bass line.

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='1092701' date='Jan 17 2011, 04:30 PM']I picked up a couple of [url="http://www.djmmusic.com/Itemdesc.asp?ic=KM-17590"]K & M Lightwave[/url] stands off that Ebay a few years back & would gladly buy another if I needed it. Robust, light & stable, plus they fold flat and will slot into a gigbag. Pete.[/quote] I've got something similar, except mine looks like a batwing.

I'm gonna do a cinema search and see if it's still playing.

[quote name='algmusic' post='1103812' date='Jan 26 2011, 03:14 PM']I've checked out the fine print on that insurance and it's not that good. You're not covered in your car for one.[/quote] you are if it's not a soft top or covertable, and your gear is out of sight. "We will not pay any amount if the equipment or instrument is left in an unattended vehicle, unless that vehicle is of the fully enclosed type (not a soft topped or convertible vehicle), and provided that whilst left in an unattended vehicle you had hidden it from view in the vehicle (for example, in a glove compartment or boot), locked the vehicle, with all windows and sunroofs closed, and used all available security systems."

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1102892' date='Jan 25 2011, 10:20 PM']I have one, it's awesome.[/quote] cool, can you bring it to the next SE or London bash you go to? I'd quite like a reverse headstock so I could put a hipshot on it. I've heard the extra length of the E makes the downtuning to D better. Not sure if it's true though.

Luis Cardenas. Just because he had the biggest drum kit in the world And Tommy Lee when he had the kit that did the somersault. Both great drummers too BTW.

done!

I've had a P and a J, but I always wanted a P with a J neck.

Membership of the Musicians Union gives you up to £2,000.00 worth of free insurance. The rates for increasing the amount covered are quite reasonable too. For some the MU sub is worth it for the insurance alone, plus you get all the other benefits of MU membership. rates here, the student rate is really cheap too.

For the first time my current trio in the same place. I'm not saying gas is sated totally - can it ever be? - but I'm more than happy with what I have First up the custom Iceni [attachment=69117:P9140001.JPG] and here it is in action [attachment=69118:n5383362...887121.5.jpg] Next up the Hamer Blitz. [attachment=69119:hamer.jpg] [attachment=69120:6051_100...784160_n.jpg] And now the custom Shuker [attachment=69122:Shuker6.jpg]

[quote name='thunderbird13' post='1087691' date='Jan 13 2011, 10:40 AM']Please dont tempt me - I can feel myself moving closer to that dream of a Jethro Tull tribute band [/quote] You need a bit more work on your beard then I can empathise, I had similar situations with a couple of bands last year

started on 4's, went to a 6 and a 5, and am now happily back on 4's but with drop D's (2 extra frets on the E, or a hipshot).

[quote name='spinynorman' post='1081732' date='Jan 8 2011, 01:12 AM']But ... at heart Greg Lake is a guitarist.[/quote] and he believes in Father Christmas.

Protools free version, probably a bit of learning required though. Audacity is quite simple to use - or as simple as these things get - and has some fans on here.

will probably bring a few mates to Walthamstow. But if you don't use one of the 'Axes' I'll be disappointed!

any chance of an update and pics?

i originally learned the modes the hard way on a jazz course (which was disguised as a popular music course) by learning the notes of the scales and remembering the box patterns. Years later after fogetting most of it all, I got Billy Sheehan's video, where he explained modes in terms of one pattern (major scale) all over the neck. Simply use different degrees on the pattern for the new roots of the modes. Opened up the bass for me. Respect to Bill
