[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1336832514' post='1651700'] Wrong thread, though. Should be in the PhotoShop contest... [/quote] Yep, as was pointed out on various Facebook postings a few weeks ago. I am amazed it took so long to arrive on Basschat. Garry

[quote name='urb' timestamp='1336741373' post='1650279'] Tom's playing isn't to everyones tastes but he IS a remarkable all round musician and I don't know of anyone who's as good at playing bass/guitar/drums/keyboards and doing all the programming stuff as well - he's kind of in a class of his own when it comes to drum programming (aside from Venitian Snares/Aphex Twin etc) - but inevitably his playing will divide listeners - I love the two clips below for different reasons. I love the tone he gets on his MM bass - the creative way he uses reverb and multiple MIDI-triggered effects and loops is pretty inspiring too from my POV - obviously some of you will hate it - so be it.

Thanks for the post. Garry

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1336729907' post='1650022'] by Renaud Garcia Fons [/quote] Yep, he is a terrific player. Never seen him mentioned on Basschat, until now. Heard him on a gig in Paris a while back - he was outstanding. Good post. Garry

[quote name='LawrenceH' timestamp='1336687118' post='1649669'] good tight groove that happens to involve quite fast playing. [/quote] Indeed, and i did say.. "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I like that high action slap sound he gets, nice, tight and articulated."[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Garry[/font][/color]

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1336683972' post='1649602'] He may be a great bassist, but the track in the OP is the most boring and uninspired thing I've heard him do. Not a patch on the brilliant Iambic 9 Poetry posted above ^ [/quote] I agree with that. But then again the OP video is just a Jam. Garry

[quote name='Cairobill' timestamp='1336681820' post='1649571'] The superb harmonic. Awed tune is 'iambic 5 poetry' off Ultravisitor. Very good stuff. He knows a tune.

[/quote] Very good - Pan your first post hard left, and pan the second post hard right with some delay. Would make a lovely stereo spread.

Have you looked at the Harley Benton HBCE ? We got one for my son from Thomann - he gets on ok with it.

Another one for Foobar2000, does everything and most formats.[Ape i am not sure about] Gapless playback as well [no padding or Encoder delay - not a major problem, or indeed needed by most, but if you need it, its there] Garry

Good luck to the guy that has taken it - if he is sitting around doing nothing, then why not ? Or just do it to something more lucrative comes along. You are not being asked to commit for life.

If your ears are telling you a Tab has [b]wrong[/b] notes etc, as many seem to complain about on this forum. Why not use your ears to learn the [b]right[/b] notes on your CD/MP3/Youtube player ? After hunting down and wasting time looking for a good [?] Tab part you could have learned the line by ear in that time. Train your ears and learn to sight read. Ears and reading chops are used on gigs/shows/sessions - not Tabs. Garry

Wey Hey - Top stuff. Garry

PDF link/download working here. Thanks for that. Garry

Such a great tune and arrangement, stonking playing all round and AJ at his best. For some reason i prefer this version to the live version that always does the rounds, and that is pretty amazing. Great post. Garry

Sibelius can save as a PDF, as does Finale. And the very good MuseScore Notation software saves as a PDF - And yes its free. [url="http://musescore.org/"]http://musescore.org/[/url] Garry

Great stuff, thanks for the links. Garry

[quote name='Leon Transaxle' timestamp='1335880796' post='1637450'] Compared to Cubase the cut, paste and shuffle around clips is a fragment of urine. [/quote] I think you will find that's just one stroke key commands, same as any DAW. With any of these sequencers, just try the Demo's and find what suits your work flow. Garry

Was never a Who Fanboi, but for me Entwistle & Moon kind of blossomed on 'Who's Next' Both sound wise and in Musical maturity. In fact the whole album did. The isolated Bass track might not be his best moment, but hard to tell what's going on with the rest of the band not in ear shot. Might all be moving about together and not sounding 'Sloppy'.[or sloppy together] Townsend sure was an interesting writer with plenty of 'Out of the box' ideas. Garry

Some great stuff posted in this thread. Carles Benavent is Bassist i like to listen to a lot. His Fretless playing is sublime. A nice track here with Josemi Carmona.
