Blimey, Paul. That is sad, people remembering what they have posted on Basschat. Sorry mate, ignore me and carry on.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1467043059' post='3080719'] Yep, I'm not a Cubaser but I was going to ask if they do a cut-down version! Do you want to use third-party plugins? I know some of the (otherwise dandy) "entry-level" versions of the big DAWs don't support third-party plugins (but most have an excellent array of stock plug-ins). [/quote] Only use the full version, so not totally sure. But, I seem to remember reading on the Steiny Forum that 3rd party VST's and VSTI's are supported.

If you still fancy Cubase, why not try 'Elements', the cut down version. Still, very, very usable, with a reasonable amount of Instruments and FX. You don't need a USB dongle either. http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/cubase/line_up/cubase_elements_8.html Better still - The fully working Trial version can be used for 30 days without any registration.

Voted - Well done all.

You will be knocked out with the standard of the musicians and bar bands around the areas mentioned. They make our Dog and Duck bands sound like...well....erm... Donald Duck Bands..

[quote name='Bassmonkey' timestamp='1466514043' post='3076374'] There are a few cowboy stores in Nashville. Worth a visit and, in that location, they actually look OK. DO NOT BE TEMPTED - not in the UK! hahaha [/quote] Yes, both myself and the wife got kitted out with boots in Nashville. On our trips over the pond, they tend to make a regular appearance. Not so much here (UK).

How do you feel about Cowboy Boots ?

Full version works well on my iPad Air (Safari). But then again, the screen size is just under 10 inches.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1466345828' post='3075108'] Cheers for the heads up. Doesn't look like it works very well with the iRig interfaces, or the mic for that matter, very choppy and jumpy. Nothing has come close to the Strobosoft App for me, its more accurate that most bloody tuners! [/quote] Agree. Also for me, like you say, nothing comes close to the Peterson app. Members of my family also use the 'Orchestral Sweetener turnings' and it works a treat. In fact, there seems to be a few different Sweetener tunings available.

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1465928784' post='3072233'] Omar Hakim lending a hand too, there. [/quote] Yes. Actually, that TV series co hosted by Sanborn had some great artists on it. For the life of me, I can't understand how Jools Holland was co hosting it as well ?

Sanborn and Hiram Bullock...Just great.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1465843721' post='3071532'] It did remind me of something my Dad used to say which I truly didn't understand until I just looked it up: Shipshape and Bristol fashion. "The saying in today's form has been recorded as early as 1840 ("shipshape" alone being about 200 years older). The term developed most likely in view of the port of Bristol which had (before the Floating Harbour was constructed) a very high tidal range of 13 metres (43 ft), the second highest in the world. Ships moored in this area would be aground at low tide and because of their keels they would fall to one side, and if everything was not stowed away tidily, or tied down, the results were chaotic and cargo could be spoiled. Hence.... Adjective: shipshape and Bristol fashion: (chiefly nautical) Tidily tied down and secure. This service is provided gratis :-) [/quote] Are you telling us all that you didn't know this and had to look it up, seriously?

Very nice groove and lovely melodic phrasing on the (finger style) tune. Top stuff!!

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1465723656' post='3070419'] Anyone else remember The Plaza, Upper Brook St, Manchester? [/quote] Good grief ! I remember 'The Plaza Cafe' in that area and the infamous greeting from the manager. (What a place that was). So do a few others by the looks of it. http://www.arrse.co.uk/community/threads/the-elusive-plaza-cafe-biryani-recipe.106596/

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1465718250' post='3070351'] Only to a degree. Nobody can get a Marcus slap sound from a P bass, for example. [/quote] With an added bridge Jazz pup they can.

There was a New York studio player in the late 70's early 80's, who kinda had a Marcus 'sound' before Marcus. He played on quite a lot of named albums and projects. Unfortunately passed away through illness in his mid 30's in 1991. His name was Wayne Braithwaite and an excellent Musician and groover. He composed a few hits as well. I remember reading that he used an early 70's passive Fender Jazz Bass with Di Marzio pups. (Black with Rosewood board). A thread about him here and his tone, with track listening suggestions. (post #14 worth a look). [url="https://www.talkbass.com/threads/80s-old-school-wayne-braithwaite.501903/"]https://www.talkbass...thwaite.501903/[/url] Meanwhile here is a video with him on ( miming with a different Fender by the look of it). [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYAmSbg-uE0[/media]

Any decent round wound string brand would do, along with a Jazz Bass pup configuration. After all, Marcus and Co were getting great slap sounds long before the DR strings came along. (Although, they really are good strings) Marcus could also get great finger AND slap sound with minimal tweeking. Just rolling back the neck pup slightly for finger style. Marcus in the early 80's, with 'His' sound. Doesn't sound like very much mid cut to me. I have seen him live a few times, and his compressor does seems to work hard. http://youtu.be/rKNjKBszLA8 Studio version '81. http://youtu.be/tZntuL32_ps

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1465388283' post='3067728'] …and so, a thread about avoiding GAS turns into a thread about buying basses. It's like an AA meeting where someone turns up with a huge bottle of whisky. We are all doomed. [size=2]*That's a nice PJ though..[/size] [/quote] Just made me laugh out loud.

No clams and no beards and you would be just fine.

This free Audio file sample, any good for your use ? https://www.freesound.org/people/zagi2/sounds/186697/

^^ Sorry, I can't take credit for the list. I don't want a lawyer on my case.

Yep, would love to go to that. Some stunning musicians on display. [url="http://www.pollstar.com/news_article.aspx?ID=824976"]http://www.pollstar.....aspx?ID=824976[/url] EDIT: Already PM'd OP about age.

Personally I find the whole tape saga rather funny. I think the guys on that coach dealt with it in the best way possible. Tape the rants and all sit around and have a ball laughing at it afterwards. (Lets face it, you are never going to win arguments with Buddy Rich and his mouth). Historically, there seems to have been more people who were not in his bands, who were upset with his attitude, than personal in his bands. I can say, that just after the episode, 'The Tapes' were responsible for a lot of Musicians getting on board tour buses with Sony Walkmans in their jacket pocket, hoping for a magical drunken 'rant' moment from someone of importance. He had an interesting Musical career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Rich
