[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1326576419' post='1499145'] Very nice! But why do people not include their heads in these playing vids? [/quote] Why ? Are you looking for on line Luuurv.. Very nice - playing that is. Garry

I have done quite a few Big bands [ i am assuming you mean Jazz big band] Be prepared, to read dots a lot [to start with] Chords for the walking lines [so be prepared to ad lib lines], and there can be a lot of chord changes and substitutions, Fast swing written in cut common, latin and funk charts. You need to be all ears and eyes. You will need to be aware of key changes, coda's and round and round sections for soloists. Concentration, focus & discipline are the name of the game. Enjoy, it can be a great thrill. Garry

[quote name='jakenewmanbass' timestamp='1326558669' post='1498861'] Nice spot Garry... although I was just looking froward to the Christian McBride solo [/quote] Yep, looks like someone chickened out... A Paul Chambers nice & relaxed solo here [scrolling] on 'I can't give you anything but lurvve' [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJKOdpcchrg[/media] Garry

Sorry, wrong area. Please delete mods. Garry

Ha Ha.... I like that. Garry

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1326484052' post='1497963'] +1 for this, what an immense bassline on that track. I do believe that Chuck also contributed a number of tracks to the 'Nightfly' album by Donald Fagen, along with Marcus Miller and other luminaries. [/quote] Yep, he [they] did, along with Anthony Jackson & Will Lee. A superb album - very surprised it does not get much [if ever] mentioned here on Basschat. Garry

[quote name='christhammer666' timestamp='1326474014' post='1497774'] even twats like me get given peoples time [/quote] You are not a twat - the fact that you have taken the time to think about 'Theory', elevates you above twat. Learn some theory and leave the rest of your band looking like twats.. Garry

I have seen him do his routine - great fun. Enjoy. Garry

Before you go down the route of new DI boxes, mic's, stomp boxes, FX racks, re arranging the house and SSL desks, try changing the Strings first, much cheaper. The natural decay as you go up the neck on the D & g strings seems quite short and dead. [to me] I had this problem a few years ago when for some reason i was using lighter gauge strings and a lower action. Low action is not always desirable on Fretless, the higher notes won't sing out, and the low notes run into each other. [ Different for each player, and Bass set up of course ] I went back to cable gauge and all was fine again. Garry

[quote name='foal30' timestamp='1326430128' post='1497143'] I don't know who did the TV show [/quote] Carol Kaye. Garry

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1326367553' post='1496027'] I'd strongly advise buying 'The Royal Scam' and 'Aja' by Steely Dan and listening to his playing on these albums. [/quote] And not just for the Bass playing. Great albums all round, with some fantastic writing. Garry

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1326382530' post='1496448'] Maybe it was CR on the film and CK on the TV series? [/quote] Just been reading a few interviews and stuff on tinternet with CK. She keeps talking about her playing Bass on 'Mash' the TV dates, and no mention of the film, and also at a Bass clinic sometime ago, CR said he played on the Mash theme. So you may well have a point. To confuse matters, there seems to be two different Mash TV versions knocking about. And both sound very different in styles... Garry

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1326372875' post='1496167'] Isn't Chuck playing the MASH theme? [/quote] I am afraid its another Carol Kaye v's Someone else. Carol Kaye says she was with the Wrecking Crew at the time and played Bass, But i read somewhere that Johnny Mandel [co writer] said it was CR. So who knows..... Talking of the Wrecking Crew. A clip from the film. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-xs2kJn6PBE#!"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-xs2kJn6PBE#![/url] Garry

CR played on a lot of 70's Film/TV themes that are worth checking out. A couple from Quincy Jones here.

[quote name='longtimefred' timestamp='1326302546' post='1495193'] i make music and i like people to hear what music me and my lot create because i plainly want to rock out and make tunes that people can dance and rock out to also and feel the same feeling that i did when that tune was written. [/quote] Wey hey - just checked out your videos. Looks like good fun dude. Garry

Yep don't get nervous, [b]but do get familiar with the show[/b]. [If you are only playing for a short run] A couple of tricky things, but a good play for the Bass.

Free Sonimus EQ If you want a very good warm EQ, try this one. It makes a mockery of all those over hyped, over priced vintage emulators flying around. [url="http://sonimus.com/site/page/downloads/"]http://sonimus.com/site/page/downloads/[/url] Garry

Playing/making Music keeps me on top of the World. It pays my bills. Its also meant most of my friends are Musicians because i have had to move in that circle. The thought of mingling with the average Joe & Dave down the local scares the sh*t out of me, It would have sent me to life of despair and Morris Dancing.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1326097122' post='1492084'] I'll clap the tube driver this morning then, when I arrive at my destination. If he's working. [/quote] I believe holiday makers arriving at Luton airport from Benidorm, clap the Pilot when he lands. Garry

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1326068322' post='1491991'] and perhaps dear Victor's monetary exploitation of their needs. [/quote] The business of show i believe Garry
