[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1319394314' post='1413619'] For a bit of fun I thought I would try looping, I know I'm going to rubbish at it but once I have an idea in my head I'll not be happy until I've tried it, so to keep cost down I was thinking of getting a cheap secondhand MIDI controller from Ebay and look for some free or very cheap software based looper, anyone using this type of setup? [/quote] Is this not something you can do in any DAW ? Set the loop points, then loop away until the clocks go forward. Garry

Plenty of great Eastern European Musicians about who are highly skilled. Its not all Circus Music & folk night around the camp fire using Gypsy scales [ although that's great as well] Some very Funky Polish dudes from the 70's when everyone thought it was just Americans doing the 'thang'.

[size=4]Janek Gwizdale is a player i have really grown to like over the last year or so.[/size] [size=4]I wasn't sure at first, but the more i hear him the more i like his playing.[/size] Great solo above by the way, and thanks for posting. Garry

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1319566904' post='1415934'] However I couldn't help thinking that he could have replaced it all with something like a Moog Voyager or a Nord Lead and got the same results faster and more accurately. [/quote] Lack of Keyboard chops might have been the culprit. [Which is not a crime of course] Garry

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1319549040' post='1415569'] Bought this yesterday.... will give it an outing this weekend - [url="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/animoog/id471638724?ls=1&mt=8"]http://itunes.apple....38724?ls=1&mt=8[/url] [/quote] Now that looks interesting. Lets us know how it goes. Garry

Another Synth user here - Novation A station and a two Octave Keyboard. I have used it on a couple of pit shows. Function bands as well. Its just another sound at the party. You are not trying to sound like a Bass Gtr. And as said above, Keyboard players only have two hands, and they are usually tied up with playing other lines. Different feel as well. Its not devalue, its double value. Garry

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1319485481' post='1414835'] He must had have something abiout him as he was on just about everything for 5 years or so. [/quote] I think it was a bit more than that. Still going strong, The sound track of his credits is playing on his website, snippets just going on and on. Some fantastic stuff, and tracks i did not realise he played on, Pretty serious.

[quote name='funkygreega' timestamp='1319450151' post='1414088'] I wish every budding drummer would stop and pay attention to John Robinson. The world would be a much better place. [/quote] Quincy Jones and John Robinson, both a bit 'Off the Wall' got 'So Excited' they partied 'All Night Long' - and the rest was history, as they say. Top Drummer.... Garry

Good stuff - Best thing on Basschat for ages.................... A like coming your way. Garry

Good stuff man. 'I feel free' has a nice 70's Nashville vibe about it. Garry

[quote name='mildmanofrock' timestamp='1318870845' post='1407216'] Cheers Garry - your track sounds incredible - excellent stuff. Are these authentic instruments or samples? I can't tell the difference. [/quote] Sample patches, Loaded into Kontakt from the East West Library. Your track sounds great, really up front & punchy. Garry

[quote name='mildmanofrock' timestamp='1318866778' post='1407116'] Hi fella - I took it off as I realised my song sounded really out of place with the other great tracks here - and was more me playing everything within a song format than showcasing any particular bass skills. [/quote] Everything goes dude.....do you own thing, makes for more interest. Your track can't be more out of place than my Orchestral attempt.... Garry

[quote name='McBass' timestamp='1318771156' post='1405974'] Hi Garry, Yeah he co wrote most of the hits off Avril's debut album. No man...good keyboard players are like unicorn poop up here lol. Do you have any links for him? Cheers Rod [/quote] Rod He is on tour with 'We will rock you' at the moment. I think in Bristol at the moment. I know Irvin well, although i have not seem him for a while, I did 'JC Superstar' with him a few years back - great fellow. Catch him on Facebook. If you can't get in touch with him, i will dig out his number and PM. [url="https://www.facebook.com/irvin.duguid"]https://www.facebook.com/irvin.duguid[/url] Garry

[quote name='McBass' timestamp='1318766479' post='1405890'] I know him very well, he now lives in LA. He has a production team called The Matrix, who have written and produced for Avril Lavigne and Korn...amongst others. [/quote] A couple of Musicians i know relocated to LA, and mentioned he was there or had been there. I did not realise he was involved in that though. Great stuff and good to hear. I see you are in Aberdeen - do you know a Keyboard player called Irvin Duguid ? Garry

[quote name='McBass' timestamp='1318765132' post='1405865'] If the live version of Ball of confusion is off Bands and Crashes, it's Graham Edwards that's playing bass. [/quote] Sure is, and a very fine Bassist he is. Garry

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1317248290' post='1388766'] Rick Laird was a great straight ahead jazz player on upright before he joined Mahavishnu Orchestra. [/quote] He was.... A young RL back in the 60's with Victor Feldman. Great how he listens to everything going on around him. Nice solo also.

[quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1318725966' post='1405670'] Scritti Politti [/quote] Great band, even had Mr Miller & Miles Davies [Oh Patti] playing on a couple of tracks. Really nice tunes. A Bassist called Graham Edwards also did his bit with Go West live . [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mMoeWkDhqA[/media] Garry

[quote name='iconic' timestamp='1318606042' post='1404302'] I always call them Tapeworms! [/quote] I think that must come under........... [b] " [size=5]Irritating terms that non-musos use..."[/size][/b] Garry

Another two who rarely get a mention, Victor Bailey & Neil Stubenhaus. Both done plenty, Particularly Neil Stubenhaus who's credit list is very impressive. Edit - Tim landers as well. Garry

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1318422279' post='1401891'] Garry, hope you didn't get the wrong end of the stick by my referencing you wasn't in a negative way! I personally can't recall seeing too much about him on here up until now so well worth getting a thread going [/quote] No Mate - not a problem. I did not word it very well.... And i am glad you got the post going, people have been posting some good read ups above. Garry

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1318367985' post='1401352'] Following the Forgotten Bass Players thread and Lowdown's comment, [/quote] And i did say " Is he really forgotten" [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0XAI-PFQcA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0XAI-PFQcA[/url] Garry

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1318371540' post='1401424'] Cogbill has been discussed here. I think plenty of us have heard of him and more. [/quote] I know he has been discussed here, and plenty have heard of him and more. Hence, my original post was, had he really been forgotten ? just curious really. Garry

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1318366440' post='1401316'] The OP was refering to the amount of discussion bass players receive on BC and as such Tommy Cogbill gets very little. I wouldn't have thought he would have made many Bass Player Top 20's either side of the Atlantic though I'd be delighted to be proved wrong! [/quote] Ah...... Could be they have not heard of him, and I suppose if they ain't heard of him - they can't really forget him then..... Garry

Its worth checking out some of the better Library and production companies around. I had a track picked up for a European TV promo for 'Supernatural' not so long back. Some of the Lib & Production companies are big business these days. Garry
