I'm almost tempted to break my 'no arenas' gig rule for this. I saw Alice live 4 or 5 times in my youth, but I think the original line up split about a year after I was born. It would be great to see them live.

You don't want flats for funk, unless you've got James Jamerson skills. Steel roundwounds are the way to go.

Like every member of Mac who played in the 'Rumours' line up and susbsequent tour, she's pretty lucky to still be alive.

The whole Dookie album by Green Day is a masterclass in modern (ish) pop punk playing. Arguably it was the album that launched a thousand other bands, all trying to get 'that' sound.

I'm saying , I don't get it, I don't even get what the appeal is. This guy in the clip below is more what I understand. It's old school and I hope it's not dead yet; http://youtu.be/KSgw2-Ei3e4 Blue [/quote] Superb player, terrible tutorial.

I'm really starting to thing that next years purchase might be a natural maple fingerboard v7 fretless. My only reservation is the busy control lay out.

I love Hi Beams but in January I purchased a bass that came with Fender Nickle rounds fitted as stock. I've actually been very impressed with them, very bright and zingy and they're still going strong after 6 months, which considering I've been working on my slap technique for most of that time is pretty good going. I will want to put Hi Beams on the bass at some point, if only to see how they sound with that bass, but the Fender Nickles have impressed me. They're also a fair bit cheaper than the DRs.

Just downloaded the album, thanks for sharing.

The first time they hadn't really broken through and were playing early afternoon on the NME stage. The next time they were headlining the Pyramid. Both performances were pretty much exactly like what Liam did at Manchester, standing stock still, hands behind back, sneering into the microphone, and to be fair he's made quite the career out of it.

Jackson 5 'I want you back' has always been my favourite line to play. That and 'Too young to die' by Jamiroquai make it into much every practice session,no matter what else I might be trying to learn, purely for the joy of playing them.

I'm not really a fan of current chart music, but everyone on that bill is absolutely nailing it. The backing band (bands?) are awesome, but the big surprise of the nights for me was Little Mix, I had no idea they could harmonise like that live.

[quote name='andyonbass' timestamp='1496606279' post='3312674'] Are you a solo artist by any chance? [/quote] 😂😂😂

Eat a garlic and anchovy vindaloo before going on stage. Nobody's going to want to spend long talking to you.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1496261123' post='3310076'] Over 24 hours and no new post from Andy....abducted by Aliens?? Secret Agent for the FBI?? All I know is his services are much in demand [/quote] I'm actually experiencing cold Turkey. This is the first thread I go to when I log on to basschat.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1496262895' post='3310089'] First if all there's no "the invisible bear" There are many invisible bears, there all over and I'm sure there's a few in London. Secondly you'd have to define the position of the hump, there are several. 1.The Vertical Candle Light. 2.The Reverse Incline 3.The Old Smokey 4.The Exxon Drill Expedition 5.The " Let's Go Fishing" 6.The Route 66 7.The Lower East Side Fandango 8. The "Saturday Night Fever" And last but not least; 9.The Bus Stop (don't ask) If your going to post a perspective, we need more detail. Blue [/quote] That made me grin.

Any excuse to post a bit of Billy.. http://youtu.be/cRdTrLQcqb4 http://youtu.be/18bVR0qhOKw

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1495990631' post='3307977'] ...plus, has this one been on here before? If so, my apologies http://youtu.be/wzAOQlbhUp0 [/quote] I hope he washed his hands thoroughly after messing about with that chilli.. There have been some rather unfortunately accidents resulting from a combination of chilli juice and casually scratching an itch.

SCROTUM! Like that, in block capitals. Eye catching, memorable, classy.

I'm not condoning it, but generally speaking it's easier for a guitarist to solo over a jam than it is to work out the chords on the fly, it's also a lot of over indulgent fun and easy to get carried away. Try giving him some actual songs to learn next time, you may find him taking a far more disciplined aproach.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1495295910' post='3302811'] Oh yes: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S8XfTcGEyo[/media] I love how it has the octave 'effect' built in. Tasty. [/quote] Awesome. But is it bass playing?😈

It's not exactly cast iron provenance. The guy may well be telling the truth about where the bass came from, but there's no bill of sale or any documentation linking the bass to Jamerson, no pictures either.

When you paste the link take the s off https, so the link should start with http. That generally does it.

[quote name='Stance' timestamp='1495150120' post='3301732'] First song from Cornell after Soundgarden (just before Euphoria Morning) Beautiful, just beautiful! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWookEVtaIs"]http://www.youtube....h?v=XWookEVtaIs[/url] (I just forgot how to embeb videos....) [/quote] Beautiful song. http://youtu.be/XWookEVtaIs

For what it's worth this is my favourite Chris Cornel song. I used to busk this one in the subways of Plymouth. Ironically the album it came from was a tribute from various people on the grunge scene for a friend who died young. http://youtu.be/VUb450Alpps
