lowdown

Mid 90's I started using Will Lee sig from Dean Markley, and loved them. To my horror they stopped making them (so I thought). Then I found out that they just renamed and re packaged them. (Dean Markley Electric Bass SR2000 Super 5 String Will Lee, .047 - .127) Still use them to this day. Thomann have been my saviour for these the past five years or so, I tend to by a few sets at a time. Hopeless trying to get them in the UK. I feel your pain man.

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1404043896' post='2488697'] What's wrong with solos? [/quote] None in my book, I love them (all Instruments). It was just a tongue in cheek quip from me (I can't get BC emoticons on my iPad for some reason). Cory Henry is just great. http://youtu.be/aMRgsxF1jJ0

I know solos are the work of the devil on Basschat, and possibly need to be cleared with the mods first. But this keyboard solo (in the middle) is just fantastic (my opinion of course). http://youtu.be/L_XJ_s5IsQc

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1403899074' post='2487603'] very fast, [/quote] Does that mean he finishes the gig before everyone else then? Packed up and long gone before the last number? If so, sounds ideal......lol...... Groove, swing, phrasing for me. Someone who listens to everyone around him/her. Can't be arsed with all that "I play in front/behind" "it's more organic", That's just sloppy hippy nonsense.

Morning folks, voted (well yesterday). Plenty on offer this month all with different approaches, and all well put together. Been a good listen - Great stuff people.

Clambering over trumpets and trombones, working my way past tightly packed music stands, treading on musicians feet, avoiding end pin cello spikes, usally in the dark while trying to avoid falling into the bell end (or a bell end) of a giant tuba and never to be seen again.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1403087353' post='2479559'] Haha, yeah, my dad's alpacas. So did you copy that into photo bucket? [/quote] I clicked the link, that took me to dropbox, then saved to Photobucket. In Photobucket, copied the URL link and pasted into my post. Might be easier ways, but works for me.

When someone above said "Left-winger Arsehole Numpty!!!!!!!!!!!" I presume they where talking about Wayne Rooney? In that case it might be better placed in the "World Cup 2014 - Party Time" thread.

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1403013580' post='2478844'] As with any joke, I'm just recycling it! [/quote] JL, I am glad you said that, Hopefully it will stop some PC misery guts hopping along to tell you it was kinda funny December 1963.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1402911987' post='2477707'] What else did he say? I often trim posts the morning after. Very wise indeed. Lol [/quote] So do I, Well it was something that amused me.

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1402871111' post='2477507'] Beautifully spoken, I think. In this, there's not only the violence referencing frame-of-mind, but also the aspect of the adversary almost not being able to prove otherwise, and left unable to defend oneself against the accusation. Therefore, the "bet you wouldn't..." construction in its essence is the tool of the coward. It's not necessarily the other way round. IMHO of course. [/quote] Blimmy, you have trimmed that back a bit with that edit (since last nights original post).

Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. Just seen this doing the rounds (I have not heard this for ages) The playing goes without saying, but the arrangements are just fantastic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3-HT0GhHWo

Great stuff Ben. That's a lovely Bass tone you have as well.

For those of you using EZD2, there is a live stream master class from a member of Toontrack tonight. It starts at 17.00.

Hey Mike..... I keep forgetting about this sub forum and have only just noticed this thread. This looks like an interesting and fun project, and does sound good. Excellent soundscape ideas.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1402420575' post='2473337'] Remember them well - one end was for opening bottles, the other end for making holes in drinks cans as you described. No self-respecting male would be without one! [/quote] That's a 70's gig spanner, standard issue, it came free when you joined the MU. It was also very useful for levering off underwear and socks after a three month tour.

In Some DAWs, if you need to use different sample rates (48 kHz), It needs to be changed at the Audio interface level first, then it can Be set to 48 kHz under the DAW preferences, otherwise the DAW will keep defaulting to 44.1 kHz (or whatever it was set to originally).

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1402388132' post='2472786'] So you're concerned as to whether he would follow through ........................ on the discussion? [/quote] Slightly concerned....................... But I should think that he would be more concerned, or whoever does his washing, even more concerned......

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1402352259' post='2472645'] Pre-PC days. Who, nowadays, would play drums with a Robertson's gollywog on the front head..? [/quote] When I was very young, I used to live directly across the road from the Robertson's factory in Lewisham. I used to wake up every morning with a view of a giant gollywog on the front of that building. At the end of the working shifts, staff when leaving, would hand out gollywog badges to Us kids hanging around the gates ( I had boxes full of them). The days of innocence, busy Basslines and hired (named) arrangers and orchestrators throwing in String and Brass lines at every opportunity on pop songs.

Come on chaps, he might have a wind problem. Have you tried punctuating while you are flatulating? Something has to give.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1402319630' post='2472036'] [/quote] Good grief..!! What's going on here then?

Well, you don't ask another Bass player about their Bass and equipment, you tell them where they are going wrong with their Bass and equipment.
