[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1328093005' post='1521555'] Ah, I did not know this, thanks Garry, good work. [/quote] Yep, anything to piss people off. Garry

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1328091741' post='1521532'] Me too. [url="http://chuckrainey.chipin.com/chuck-rainey-well-health-fund"]http://chuckrainey.c...ell-health-fund[/url] So far only $5,252 has been raised from 128 contributors. A disgrace! [/quote] Early days - it was only started a couple of weeks ago. I have just Tweeted & Facebooked the link. Garry

[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1328014635' post='1520248'] Here, those of us who operate self-employed contribute in terms of class 2 and class 4 national insurance [/quote] And sometime Class 1 stopped. I have donated to CR [along with many others] And if it sends out the wrong message [to you] so what ? My choice, simple really. [i]Self Employed Musician[/i] [i]Garry[/i]

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1327946190' post='1519252'] Nice to see that the cup of human kindness is overflowing on this forum once again! [/quote] I agree. Simple really, contribute or don't contribute. Garry

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1327874503' post='1518187'] What on earth is this thread about? [/quote] Glue sniffing i think. In fact BC has gone a bit wobbly today. In another thread that has been locked, Billyapple has offered to drop Happyjack a line. [post #105] Garry

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1327864702' post='1517922'] Wasn't very funny though. [/quote] In theory it should be funny. Over the years, this joke has gone through more key changes than 'Mack the Knife'. Garry

To balance the books, AJ's line. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll3uipTO-4A"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll3uipTO-4A[/url] Garry

Like that. Well played. Garry

[quote name='fender73' timestamp='1327789775' post='1516947'] I know it's an old thread, but i've just been checking out Mike's playing on youtube and it bought again what a tradegy it is that Mike is no longer playing- an amazing player. Here's hoping he's comfortable and one day will be able to pick up a bass again, or any instrument God Bless Mike P. [/quote] Just bee listening to some old Toto CD's, and i to hope he gets to play again. He has a great feel for Music. Garry

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1327797757' post='1517086'] Wot, no Narada?... fixed! [/quote] Great Bass line on that tune. I have posted it a few times on Basschat, and it never gets any takers.

Lordy Lordy, a comeback tour. Garry

Great Band - love that opening few frames on 'The beat goes on' Garry

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1327765147' post='1516470'] The music, good, great bass lines. However, we must consider the 'fashion' of the time. It has been my long held opinion that the clothes one had to wear in the 70's and early 80's has scared a generation [/quote] I was there - i have the wardrobe scars [and a Jazz Bass] to prove it.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1327749322' post='1516125'] Had a promoter go mental at us one for being too loud but we were just glad to get out of there alive. [/quote] Just had a vision of Blues Brothers & Chicken wire. Garry

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1327749048' post='1516121'] Thats probably why he Gaffa tapes his thumb. [/quote] Wrong Guy.... Garry

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1327747885' post='1516097'] Marcus is a legend. The live bass sound is absolutely huge. [/quote] Agreed - i have seen him a few times, and it has always been that. One time in Germany, i was a few feet away from the stage, and was amazed how hard and controlled he was when attacking the strings with his thumb - certainly not afraid to give it some. Garry

[quote name='blackmn90' timestamp='1327743865' post='1516024'] on the subject of slap. Does anybody else find it really difficult to cut through the mix when slapping. Particually when there is 2 guitars playing [/quote] Marcus Miller, world grand meister funk champion of thumb & popping ,and generally attacking the note not tickling it, is the dude to talk to, never a problem for him...ever... Garry

Hey Funkypenguin, thanks for this. Nice transcription. One of my fives is tuned E-C and this works great. Garry

[quote name='michael-faces' timestamp='1327600637' post='1514085'] I've got Fl Studio as well and I find it pretty bad for recording audio. I recommend using something different for audio, maybe Reaper? [/quote] Yep, the early versions were not that great for Recording Audio. However, FL Studio 10 is a different animal and records Audio great. The MIDI side of it is excellent. Garry
