In the pocket, Sinatra and Basie. Great building arrangement, with a nice flute solo in the middle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfI92cZ_xLI

My favourite two Vsti's are both from Spectrsonics. A great Synth called 'Omnisphere' and an awesome Drum & Percussion module called 'Stylus RMX'. Been using them both for five or Six years now. RMX is terrific for on the fly programming , take any supplied groove and with the use of Midi learn, turn it into your own. They me seem pricey, but you get an awful lot with both. http://www.spectrasonics.net/index.php

Been a member for about eleven years now. The Double Bass forum is a great resource. Yep, it has a big user base, but generally find it quite friendly and with a plenty of decent Bass drivel.

Funny enough, a few days ago I watched the film at Cafe Di Nero in Palmers Green.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1415806933' post='2603975'] I'm keeping my eyes peeled... although I'm still to use most of the Waves bundles I bought in their Halloween special at 80% off! [/quote] I nabbed a few singles in that deal. I was pondering during the two hour countdown and couldn't resist.

Ugly (to some)? Maybe. Any difference in tone? who knows, more than likely not. Had mine built to spec, and it works (great) for me. People generally like it when they pick it up. I just fancied one at the time, and it turned out better than I expected. Been using mine for around ten years, really the only fretted Bass I use. No neck dive, balances well when standing or sitting in pits/studios etc. The whole thing feels really solid with great upper register access.

You see, easy peasy.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1415747941' post='2603475'] This.... [/quote] And another 'This'..... Guess the film. "See this? This is this. This ain't something else. This is This!"

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1414781201' post='2593308'] Recommended. 'The Suitcase', a live Steve Khan 2cd featuring Anthony Jackson and Dennis Chambers. Jackson is ON FIRE!!! Check out this rare Anthony Jackson solo - it beats 99% of all other bass guitar solos for inventiveness and originality. And you never hear AJ solo!!. [/quote] I got this on Friday and been playing it today. Great playing all round, a good album, and as Bilbo said...Recommended.

^^^ Yep, what Bolo said (but I am pretty sure you would be aware of them). A real joy to listen to with a very large repertoire (plenty on YouTube). Superb Musicians.

The fact that you mentioned 'six string bass' sent them all running. You should have posted in off topic under 'tic tac' and fooled them. Yep, a good listen and a real legend.

What's a sector?

[quote name='Lynottfan' timestamp='1415211226' post='2597982'] Ai No Corrida by Quincy Jones, the original take with Louis Johnson on the Stingray bass, MAN dat is groove! [/quote] Yer, I have a soft spot for that groove. The great John Robinson on Drums of course, everything he touched just worked.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1388069051' post='2318260'] what company sells this software.? sorry just got it. [/quote] Spectrosonics, along with the lovely Omnisphere Synth and Stylus RMX Drum/Perc module. http://www.spectrasonics.net/index.php But there are other good Libraries out there that can be loaded into Kontakt.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1415109594' post='2596748'] It's a cunning ruse! Dad is nearly always first to finish his composition, so he's pulling our legs with a post 10 minutes after I set up this month's challenge. Although to be honest, I [i]did[/i] on click it half-expecting him to have finished something already. [/quote] You have gone above and beyond your call of duty as a mod there. I would have let that run for a few more days.

Lordy Lordy, I wouldn't know where to start with this. So many over the years. Today's choice would be anything from the 'Nightfly' album (Mr Donald Fagen). Tomorrows choice would more than likely be different.

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1415104334' post='2596654'] link isn't working on any of my browsers [/quote] Might be something to do with the shade of blue on the link.

Edit. Carry on.

[quote name='DanR' timestamp='1415035618' post='2595929'] That's it. ProTools is a great bedrock for the full blown studio, but other DAWs are leagues ahead on intuitive / creative audio manipulation. [/quote] Yep, although PT's is trying hard to catch up. Another good use for those samples you have is to extract as midi. Single lines or chords these days, depending on DAW and software. You can then use the midi info as groove quantise pre-sets. All manner of feel and swing% then available to you for humanising static programmed lines.

Waves sales ends today. Only just noticed this, so not much time left. http://www.waves.com/plugins#sort:path~type~order=.default-order~number~asc|views:view=list-view|paging:currentPage=0|paging:number=20

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1415003047' post='2595405'] A pal of mine sent him a get well card when he was undergoing therapy some time ago and he sent one back saying 'I'm undergoing radio therapy; I thought it would be a bit like Radio Bristol but I've discovered it's even worse'. RIP Ack. [/quote] Ha ha, that sounds like his humour. RIP

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1414431307' post='2589210'] Jerry Jemmott is well worth a mention [/quote] Worth a few bars of 16th note mentions. Great, melodic groover. I might be wrong, but I think Jaco mentioned him as an influence.
