Yep, great band. Good lyrics, good Musicianship and an all round ear for melodic phrases. I hear echo's of Brand X in there [style wise] Garry

Great version of 'On Green Dolphin St' [Gonzalo Rubalcaba] playing at this moment ....... but of course in 5 minutes times it won't be playing. Great station. Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1347116794' post='1797147'] I did one! I was thinking ambient and ended up with this recording of 19 basses (18 playing the same note) and voices. The production is a bit 'low-brow' but I was not inclinded to spend too long on it because it is crap! It reminds me a bit of Bo Hannson! The working to an image thing was a new thing for me and an interesting challege. Great fun.

George A is a nice player, I remember when he took over from the original Bassist back in the 80's, The band suddenly took off, he got his foot in the door very quickly and he married Jill Saward one of the singers. [Although i think it ended in divorce] I think Jayedee made a sig Bass for him. Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1347011817' post='1795911'] What was really lovely, though, was the revelation in passing that Andy went to Leeds to study music in the early 1970s and was very close friends with a guy called Dick Hamer, the sax player who gave me my first jazz gigs in Cardiff in the late 1980s. They had lost touch and I can now connect them up. How cool is that? [/quote] Hey, I know Andy very well and worked together quite a bit over the years - nice player. Glad you enjoyed the gig. Garry

Can i throw a spanner in the works. Studio One V2 do a free version, and going by your OP will be right up your Strasse. And it really is the easiest DAW in the world to use.[ For someone starting from scratch] Everything is drag and drop and totally [Audio & Midi gapless] Plenty of tutorials on the Presonus site, and of course Youtube. [url="http://studioone.presonus.com/free/"]http://studioone.presonus.com/free/[/url] Garry

Try them both - then it's all down to work flow and personal preference and what works best for you. It's all 0's & 1's at the end of the day. From your OP and what you require it for, save your dosh and go with what you got [for the moment] But be rest assured and safe in the knowledge that at some point you will get DAW/Audio and midi interface/VST/VSTi's gas.

I subscribed to LS's Facebook page a while back, Pretty interesting stuff all round on a regular basis. Everything from Bass to his love of bikes. Top guy and very humble. If you fancy it, link here.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1346613593' post='1791257'] Or just think 'i Got Rhythm' [/quote] True But then again 'Think' is a big ask for Bass players. Plenty of Jazz chord charts/sequences here [PDF's] Click on the tune name and scroll down a bit. Various artists performing the tunes as well.

It might not be Carp fishing - It could be a lake where a mass murderer dumps his grizzly work. Bernard Herrmann string time... Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1346403359' post='1788717'] They won't help much. Charts like these are played 'in the style of' and not 'the same as the original'. If you play the bass lines off a notated chart, you may find the other musicians playing something that doesn't resemble the original and your lines won't work and may even clash horribly. You would be better off getting charts with the chords and then learning the basic rhythm patterns (swing, rhumba etc). I have played all of these tunes and rarely the same twice. The first too are easy ballad/torch songs, just stick with the root notes and follow the piano. Mack is a straight swing groove and Sway is a rhumba (think the first bar of a 3:2 clave) but will depend on what the drummer is doing. I don't recall what King oF the Road sounds like rhythm section-wise. [/quote] Just all of this really. King of the road in 2 going into 4's as the song progresses. Chord charts the way to go, and none of them choones are hard. Mack the Knife is just a relentless barrage of key changes. Enjoy the gig, it will be fun. Garry

Apart from all the benefits of insurance etc which have been mentioned above, they do a big job every year negotiating minimum contract fee increases for theatre/shows/TV [Including holiday pay] and Studio broadcast/recording rates. Teaching guideline rates, arranging and Orchestrating rates, and a few other things. So for many on this site the benefits of the MU don't seem much, but there are a few on Basschat that do benefit from the MU. Garry

Good stuff dude. About pacing yourself - good idea. But the real problem is soloing over so many chorus's, 4 1/2 minutes - it's to long. Makes it hard to keep the interest up, but no fear we are all guilty on that one... Garry

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1346185617' post='1786326'] Some of my favourite players on there, too. I think the bulk of the album was recorded at Muscle Shoals and features the magnificent and much-underrated David Hood on bass, as well the rest of that formidable group of Southern session musicians . I remember hearing an interview with Rod on the radio where he was complaining that it was difficult to get a drink down there while he was recording there because Muscle Shoals Studio was in a "dry county" at that time with highly restricted liquor licensing laws. Surely they could have sent a roadie to find an off- licence? From the list of credits it looks as if some of the album must have been recorded in L.A., as well. It's certainly a stellar line up of musicians. I suppose this was all back in the heyday of big recording budgets . The deluxe version of this album that your son recommends is superb. I particulaly like the tracks with Booker T and the MGS. I think some people are put off by the fact that it's Rod Stewart, if you know what I mean, but good music is good music , and some of the stuff on this album has got real soul. [/quote] Been listening to it tonight, even Rod does a great job on it, he must have been inspired by that lot. And yes the version we have here has bonus tracks on it - good stuff all round. Garry

Now i had this album [Vinyl] years ago. But when i went all CD it never got a look In. Today my son turned up with a remastered CD of it saying that there is some great playing on it. Rod sure did keep some great Muso company on that album.
