[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1450113270' post='2929732'] A decent bass solo, if only that darned piano would shut the f*** up, aimlessly noodling away at the back, there..! [/quote] I am more irritated by the Drummer, or the punter, or maybe both, who seem to be munching their way through a very large bag of crisps.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1450104365' post='2929599'] Still laughing at Skank's post... [/quote] This...Up there with the best. Thanks for digging it up.

I remember that thread! Very amusing indeed if IIRC. I hope it turns up again.

[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1432836892' post='2785513'] Here is a promo-clip from one of my band gigs at the end of last year when we did a concert in tribute of Grover Washington Jr. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3DD0UbiRrY&index=1&list=PL83iJEMd_7jyuO-wMpkpYhgOUhlE8Gwml&spfreload=10"]https://www.youtube....ml&spfreload=10[/url] [/quote] Hey Delano, just watched the video. Very well played by you and all the guys. Bass sounds nice as well. Excellent stuff. Played a lot of Grover tunes in the past - great fun to play.

Using the the 'Quick Load' feature. http://youtu.be/Jr9maN-qEcM

If I am reading your post correctly, you need to open up Kontakt first (either in Standalone mode or within your DAW). On the tab at the top of Kontakt, click on the browse icon (it looks like a folder). This will open up a side bar on the left of Kontakt, which contains library files and Libraries. It should say Files/Libraries/Database/Monitor/Modules/Auto. Click on the libraries tab, on the dropdown, click on 'Add Library', then navigate to where "EDNA01 Earth library" has been installed. That's it. It should then show up in the library pane of Kontakt. If it is not a library patch, but just Kontakt files, click in the files tab instead of library tab. Again, on the left hand side, locate from there. The only downside if it is not a Library patch is, you have to drag the file patches manually into the window on the right hand side. I don't have the library in question, so I am not sure if it is a Library patch or a file patch. There are plenty of videos on YouTube explaining all this, with some neat features on 'quick loading', which is a great feature. Adding a library. [media]http://youtu.be/200LmitfW1U[/media]

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1450007270' post='2928666'] So name a Beatle. About half will say Paul McCartney. Their reasons for naming him may or may not be to do with him being the bass player. [/quote] Not related to being a Bassist, but my postman's recognition of various Beatles was not by name. He was always whistling various Beatles tunes (very well whistled), when I asked him what his favourite Beatles tune was, he said, "Imagine, by that one that got shot".

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1449971531' post='2928522'] I'm sorry but I could pull a better song out of my a$$. [/quote] Worthless post without video evidence. Then leave it up to the rest of Basschat to take it from there.

Yep, I use Spitfire Audio. I will have a look in the morning (presuming you haven't sorted by then). What library did you get?

[quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1449945623' post='2928299'] Look! A Dwarf with a violin. [/quote] Where are we going tonight, sir? It will have to be your place officer...my parents are a bit old.

[quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1449944799' post='2928287'] Jim Tavare' [/quote] Lol.... I have done gigs/shows in far flung corners of the Earth with him. Indeed, a very, very funny man.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1449937060' post='2928188'] Ten doors in a cul-de-sac..? You'd be lucky if any of them could name a single bass player. [/quote] True, dat. But, I bet all the blokes know the names of all the wife's and partners, and what the inside of the bedrooms look like, not to mention how many keys are on the key rings.

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1449876197' post='2927775'] LicenCe !!! [/quote] Always confuses me that one, but in the software world........ http://www.reaper.fm/purchase.php https://www.steinberg.net/nc/en/support/knowledgebase_new/show_details/kb_show/how-to-transfer-a-license-from-soft-elicenser-to-usb-elicenser http://www.native-instruments.com/en/company/legal-information/end-user-license-agreement/ http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/439787-REG/Vienna_Symphonic_Library_VSLVKEY_ViennaKey_USB_License_Control.html

Pino. Everyone in the world knows it's a Bass gtr, and possibly that it's PP. Well my local Butcher does - He knows all about chops. http://youtu.be/ju_a2-Pve4g

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1449786119' post='2926937'] Two completely different types of bands. Blue [/quote] Yep. I prefer Macca and Lennon singing Beatles tunes, and Daltrey singing Who songs. If either tried to sing the other band songs, well..... Imagine, Lennon trying to sing 'Won't get Fooled again...', Dog and Duck written all over it**

Terrance Palmer, Bassist with "Israel & New Breed". As above, lyrics leave a bit to be desired, but they are beautifully phrased. http://youtu.be/-xXiSvddlfA

^^ Of course it's not. It was just a nod to the posts above.

I read an article a very long time ago, written by a String player on the 'Tom & Jerry' sessions. When looking at his diary, he would start to freak out and get anxious as the dreaded 'T & J' sessions approached. They had very little rehearsal times for the episodes. Terrifically skilled musicians having ago here. Makes Jazz look easy. [media]http://youtu.be/kYrUWfLlYI0[/media]

Message to the OP. This all your fault. In fact - A Remark You Made!

[quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1449518618' post='2924315'] I rarely hear him now but I heard this the other day and it moved me so deeply. Simply stunning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpaFTPmp2Pw&feature=youtu.be [/quote] I still listen to this on occasions and I think the lyrical side of him really shines out on this track. As someone else said above, a lovely arrangement as well.

Kontakt works just fine in Logic, no problems there.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1449503163' post='2924132'] And yes, Jaco was really all that, his facility was incredible, his composition and ear was amazing too. Do I like his entire output, no of course not. There's a few videos of him playing Piano too, beautiful playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBhoDaS5SKQ Si [/quote] Throw in his arranging chops as well, quite a rounded musician. Thanks for the link, not stumbled on that before.

Wings didn't do very well?..yep... 'Live and Let Die', one of the biggest selling Bond (theme) tunes...Lol... Carry on.

[quote name='AinsleyWalker' timestamp='1449496563' post='2923995'] Of course all music is totally subjective but what I've heard of Jaco Pastorius has been a total let down compared to what I've heard from word of mouth. [/quote] So, are you saying that you liked Jaco and his Word of Mouth project, but didn't like his solo offerings? That's understandable, I suppose. Some of his sideman playing was great (as posted as above). He certainly shook up the world of Bass. A fan here.
