  1. [quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1367251489' post='2063172'] He wrote the themes to both Letter from Iwo Jima and the other one of those two films for his dad, and they are pretty darned good film soundtracks as it goes... [/quote] Yep, both excellent. He is a very good Bassist, and likes his 60/70's [Cop theme] type grooves when on electric. Garry

  5. [quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1367074281' post='2060996'] but at the end of the day when you have an orchestra, a choir and about 15 other musicians, you cant go wrong, can you? [/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6piDRKOwh88[/media] Garry
  6. Drop a bar, go to the bar, makes no difference.... Anything to do with bars will always cause a problem with some partners. Garry
  7. She still looks and sounds great at 62 ! Garry
  8. [quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1367032907' post='2060528'] Oscar Pettiford. Love him on the Bud Powell album Live at the Essen jazz festival 1960. It's a classic. [/quote] That's a great album...... Garry
  9. [quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1366827860' post='2057843'] I was a regular in the Wapping days, [/quote] Me to...Awsome place - I think Barry the owner had a sister shop in LA, or some relationship with them. I always remember his Porsche being parked out side. Got myself a Wal 5 there in 1989. The pub around the corner [the name escapes me] was a nice little social gathering place. Garry
  10. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1366906238' post='2058893'] Sorry about that.., should be working now [/quote] That's what we like about Basschat Mod's....Right on the case. Garry

  12. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1366903981' post='2058849'] Now live [/quote] So i am not in the voting then ? Oh well..... Garry
  13. [quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1366901409' post='2058788'] IMO, learning the lines to this song wont be a waste of time when it comes to playing jazz. [/quote] 'I got Rhythm' and 'Autumn Leaves' are possibly a better starting point than Moondance. Two tunes that will get you tuned into hearing Jazz related form, 2/5/1's and chord structure, they do wonders for your Lug chops, very important in playing Jazz..[Along with some/ a lot theory of course] Some of the Jazz Twelve bars as well. Moondance is just a load of old humping about. As Bilbo said....Listen to shedloads. Garry
  14. Most of the above, along with Paul Chambers and some of Ron Carters stuff. Check this out - 4 DB's sawing & Pizzing away !.... There is a 'real' Bass face going on with the Pizz player. Night in Tunisia...... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9-PbqoBA2k"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9-PbqoBA2k[/url] Garry
  15. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1366820464' post='2057668'] [/quote] Oh man....... Garry
  16. Managed to get something done today.. Here you go................ [url="http://soundcloud.com/garrycribb/a-bit-buggy"]http://soundcloud.co...ibb/a-bit-buggy[/url] Will have a listen to everyone's tonight sometime. Don't seem many takers this month. Garry
  17. I suppose you could just throw a wobbler and leave Basschat............... I should imagine a Mod will be along soon and help out. Garry
  18. [quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1366541570' post='2053660'] Ive had a few gigs that have led to sex, [/quote] Other way around for me.... I had sex that landed me a great gig..... A marriage and two kids.. Garry
  19. Great band , although i thought some of the early stuff was hit and miss, or as someone above said 'Album fillers'. Loved Sting when he started introducing the Middle Eastern influences into his writing. All three of the Police band were top writers, who all made the mark elsewhere with various stuff. Garry
  20. Down load Reaper, and use it free for this task.[Very small download] If you get on with it, it's cheap to buy. Plenty of Youtube videos showing what you want, for your purpose. The pitching and time stretching is pretty accurate, and if you are not going very far % wise either side of A440 [as in your case] You will more than likely not hear the difference. [Of course most DAW's do this with ease thesedays] [url="http://www.reaper.fm/download.php"]http://www.reaper.fm/download.php[/url] Garry
  21. Got a free day tomorrow, so will join in the fun this month. Also my new Synth arrived today, and i can't wait to give it a whirl.

  22. Playing to click tracks is not a problem, but quite often it can feel unnatural if you are not used to doing it. Click track recording is not unique to DAW recording, or even new in the past 10 years or so. Many of you would have been listening to music recorded using click tracks, way back to the Tom & Jerry days, and from then onwards. [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click_track"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click_track[/url] Garry
  23. Good Busking chops and knowledge of tunes is important, Reading chops a great asset - more options for varied work available [shows and acts/turns and some top end function bands] If it is just an ear job and you have not done the gig before, ask for an emailed set list [usually one suprise on the list - but usually the same old stuff] If it's an original numbers one off gig [I tend to stay away from] be prepared to rehearse, it's the bands reputation at stake and less yours. Being out of your comfort zone, might be a good experience for you - but certainly not the other Musicians working with you. Pub gigs, around £50.00 is about normal... Functions/Weddings/Show deps/Corporate gigs anywhere between £100 & £300 depending on distance, finish time and any expenses involved. Corporate overseas weekends will pay more. Having an evening suit of blacks comes in handy, any vocals or backing vocals always a winner. Freelancing/Depping is a great way of picking up contacts. Above all enjoy it
  24. No Major clam, but not on it for sure. I think the vocals are more of a worry. But hey, 'It was the 80's - everyone [50%, some, a few, Dennis] was rejoycing the 'Thatcher' era and having a good time. Iconic - That's not hair on the back of your neck standing up, Just to much Gel on your Mullet..... Garry
  25. I have the U5 - And just love it, more than likely that there are many more out there that do the job just as great. I purchased two second hand for £500.00 [long story but all legal] Sold one of them to a lucky Bassist from South Essex for £250.00. Win win all round, lovely pre-amps. Garry
