[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1435931331' post='2813761'] You could, of course, play G twice followed by Gb twice. It doesn't have to be complicated [/quote] What Bilbo said, especially when playing the head. Or R/5/5/R (going up and down) over that bar and the next bar, then open up over the solos.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1435830016' post='2812752'] Once again, it's not going to get any better if I mess around with it any more, and so I offer you ... [url="https://soundcloud.com/dad3353/concrete-jungle-solid-air"]Concrete Jungle, Solid Air ...[/url] Enjoy. [/quote] Ha, Ha, Stylus RMX! and my fave Drum and Perc module. Been using it for years - Up next for you, will be the bug for the expansion packs, dozens and dozens of them. ££££££££££££££££££££££ Four pages of Video tutorials here. It really is a very in depth monster. https://www.spectrasonics.net/video/videos.php?p=1&f=&q=&InstrumentID=all&VideoTypeID=3

Well done Skol. I can't help thinking, that if Bilbo had added three extra semi quavers to his 13/8 composition, that he might have got three extra votes needed for victory.

[quote name='12stringbassist' timestamp='1435680641' post='2811386'] Pino is not the man for The Who.. [/quote] Pete and Roger think so.

Relaxed playing, with a nice tone. Good stuff. That's a catchy tune. Great for sitting in the shade with a cigar in one hand, a cold Pimms in the other, while staring out over the Mediterranean sea. (well that's what I am going to be doing for a few weeks, very soon).

Kayned proper - I agree.

[quote name='Cato' timestamp='1435598321' post='2810438'] Aaargh. I've got no idea how to edit a title, dammit. [/quote] Sorry about that. Ok, I think go to edit, then at the bottom next to '[i]save changes[/i]', click on use '[i]full editor[/i]', then you can edit your opening title as well as your post.

Side dish or main course?

[quote name='Apothem' timestamp='1435590142' post='2810334'] Mary J Blige, [/quote] A great band with her as well, Lionel's band really on it too. That Kayne character didn't stand a chance with his Laptop (bless him).

Sad news indeed.

Hater or plater, there is no getting away from it. It was awful. Just when you needed a hard drive to crash, it didn't.

Just to think - If that band on the bill called Motorhead, had kept to the original schedule, I would have missed them by an hour. Oh well, not really my kinda of Popular Beat Combo, m'lud.

I suppose Anthony Jackson was just the tea boy on dozens of albums and singles then. And there was me thinking he was a Bassist.

My Italian cousin has just seen a large lady collecting her Horned Viking helmet and full metal bra, from Teatro Alla Scala, and then heading off in the direction of Milan Airport, to board a Cargo plane. She is on her way folks!

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1435401727' post='2808413'] Ooh! Tic Tac bass heaven! [/quote] Yep, played by Miloslav "Ladi" Geisler. Quite a character and sideman, and very much part of the Kaempfert sound and style. Seems Tic Tac or similar was (also) called "Knackbass"....lol... Life and work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladi_Geisler

For small ensemble Jazz (trios etc), or the older style Big Bands, My tendency is for UB (I like the dynamics/note decay better). Heavy Big Band Jazz/Latin/Groove styles, I like the attack and punch of the EB better. These days, in Jazz people don't sneer and spit, Although they might do if you don't know the changes and forms....lol.. I still see 'fakers' trying it on, hiding behind muddy indistinguishable sounds, thinking they are getting away with it. If you are turning up at Jazz blows, or want to get into regular Jazz gigs, spend some time learning a lot of the popular tunes used (great ear practise anyway), rather than worrying about UB vs EB warriors. It will set you up for moving onto more adventurous projects.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1435332176' post='2807832'] I was just listening and playing along to this a couple of days back. Love it [/quote] Yep, great track and solid Bass. Been reading that it was (the great) Session Bassist Russ Stableford playing on this. Funny enough the track I played before Mr Bloe, was this...Also Russ Stableford, and you can hear it. http://youtu.be/k3Fa4lOQfbA

Friday Madness - Great Idea!

Voted - Well done all.

Is it obsession? maybe. Which leads me to the question. Do you have back up partners as well...

[quote name='kev b' timestamp='1435183506' post='2806401'] Lowdown, I had forgotten the Parkinson Show theme, we used to play that as an "off" at the end of each set! [/quote] Did your band play some of the pub and club gigs in S/E, East London by any chance?

Very nice, Huw.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1435078386' post='2805249'] I'm using Audacity 2.0.6; it has a 'preview' button for each of the effects, and a multi-level 'Undo' (not sure how many...). Reaper is not designed to do the same task. If one wants a DAW, I'd recommend Reaper. If one only wants to edit audio, I'd recommend Audacity. There's no downside to trying both, and choosing on the perceived merits of each. [/quote] Now at version 2.1.0, with real time preview and VST support, I believe. [url="http://audacityteam.org"]http://audacityteam.org[/url] I am not an Audacity user, but it seems it will do the job for the OP. .

Film Composer James Horner was killed in an accident yesterday. Fitting to put one of his themes in this thread. http://youtu.be/9AN04imFDK8
