[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1496173754' post='3309373'] Our ex-singer often used to ask us to go up half a semitone. I actually bought a fretless just to piss her off! [/quote] That was not very nice from her. I mean, was she capable of taking it up the Octave ?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1496233460' post='3309745'] Am I allowed to pedantically suggest that it should be 'cue', as in 'that's when to come in', rather than 'queue', where one waits in line to get served..? Just sayin', no malice intended. [/quote] Haha..... Segue, Cue, you are always 'on it', Dad !! I once heard a 'Newbie' MC at a function, ask the bandleader to play a 'Funfair' before the Bride and Groom entered the room. Have you ever thought of putting together a series of videos regarding this, as a sticky, maybe ? Maybe like this ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYQWjgnKbFA

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1496206712' post='3309497'] I heard that they'd gone out on tour without a keyboard player and all the keys were on a sequencer. I don't know if there was a power failure or what, but somehow the sequencer reset itself to the wrong sample rate (i.e. 'in the cracks' tuningwise). Being as the entire intro is on keys and they were less than a semitone out of tune, no one noticed until the band kicked in, by which time it was too late. You could hardly stop the song and start again on what was probably the last encore. I can only presume that Dave Lee Roth had mostly keys in his in-ears as he seems relatively unphased. Poor old EVH's deperate efforts during the solo make my teeth itch. I feel sorry for the bloke, although I'm sure that after the gig they had a few beers and a laugh over it.......... perhaps after sacking the sequencer tech? �� [/quote] I think it's just a case of the Guitar being out of tune (for what ever reason). It's not in concert pitch. The Keyboards are in tune at C# (for some reason a semi tone up from the studio recording). The giveaway for me, is the Bass is pumping out C# Quavers along with the Keys. So C# must have been the key decided before hand. But knows or cares...? It's a very, very funny clip.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1496228152' post='3309668'] IIRC Jerry Scheff has posted on here occasionally, though I think it was more in relation to his book than any specific lines he'd played. [/quote] Yes, I do remember that.

Over the years I have used the twelfth fret version or even starting on the 'E', 7th fret on the A string. Depends what mood I am in I suppose. Certainly not something I have ever really given a second thought about. I find it more useful for left hand Piano practise (jumping up to the C#) than an interesting Bass Guitar line.** Although I must admit, it is catchy.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1496213085' post='3309522'] Stir it Up - Bob Marley and the Waiters A little Bit of Love - Free Google on Reggae Woman - Stevie Wonder Lol, I've left the autocorrect versions intact as they are funny [/quote] Haha....... I have seen the Bob Marley one before, but 'Google on Reggae Woman' is a new one...

Great update for Reason, although the VST addition is only for VST 2.4. VST 3 is the current version, supporting Multiple Midi ports, suspension of FX and Instruments when no signal is passing through etc.... https://www.steinberg.net/en/company/technologies/vst3.html I am curious why they didn't use version 3 (all/most other DAWs are) rather than the older 2.4. Maybe coming in a future update? Even so, opens things up for Reason users and the big Sample libraries out there, along with some of the excellent Synths etc...

I too agree with the OP and Barking Spiders (above) Apart from his stunning playing, he has pretty decent composing chops (quite a few tunes and some film scores under his belt). He is also a very good arranger and producer. After all his years in the business, he is still in demand, so a cool cat really. I think he is top, top musician. (my opinion of course). Playing (one of my favourite Instruments) Bass Clarinet here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAvtD0XxzT4 A 'Hip' Groove with some top improvising all round. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXS4qSZS6zE Doing his thing as 'band leader'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MVbXfdDA_w

Chuck Rainey and Bernard Purdie. A stripped back version of Steely Dans 'Green Earrings'. Delightful, funky, in the pocket playing. http://youtu.be/Dxjhkrl-DLg

Claus Ogerman and Michael Brecker. (Cityscape Album). Fantastic album. http://youtu.be/NHgAh_WlhiE

Used to listen to him a lot when I was younger. 'Jessica' is a real classic. R.I.P

Stanley Clarke is amazing here. [/quote] Yes, I love that version. But, has there ever been a bad version of that tune ? (Al Jarreau live with Steve Gadd and Joe Sample is a cracker).

[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1495844740' post='3307083'] It's a memorable Melody, it's a middle eight changing to the relative minor or major, it's the key change up a tone to the last chorus, it's a well tried and tested chord progression (just think about how many songs are based around Em G D A) [/quote] Blimey, if someone had put all those together, into one song, they would have made a fortune in 'Tin Pan Alley'. Oh wait.......

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1495785796' post='3306497'] I have a '94 Korean Squier Jazz, a battered thing that sounds fantastic (the electronics are all replacements, however...). My favourite Jazz of all the ones I have owned including 3 75RI Fenders... the thing is it's a Jazz neck (I like chunkier ones best) and rosewood for fingerboard (while I prefer maple). So I ordered a new neck for it... and it would need a logo. I simply had a replica made, down to the serial number: [/quote] And nothing wrong with that at all. I hope you are going to call it 'Triggers Broom of Doom'.

To many to mention for me. I could list many Anthony Jackson groove lines. But I am going to throw Greg Phillinganes into the mix with his Keyboard Bass Synth lines (literally loads of them). This one is a particular favourite of mine. http://youtu.be/lfa7NjQx5fk

The Jazz Woodbines.

Davie is great, he plays well. His 'Surf' playing with the 'Fidget Spinner' is a bit of a laugh.

Not really bothered about what's written on the headstock of my Fender Jazz look a like Bass. But, I must say, Sadowsky NYC looks just fine.

There is a vendor plugin within ST1 V3 called 'Pipeline'. Using Pipeline is the usual procedure when using external hardware FX. It helps with controlling latency and phase issues. You can't drag the Apollo fx straight into the 'bin', because it is not a VST or VST'i. Try looking at this short Presonus video, it might explain things. (On anther note, I think Presonus are just about to release an update, one of the issues addressed is the high CPU use and spiking that is affecting a lot of folks). http://youtu.be/q_gweD57AQk

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1495287620' post='3302730'] Kinda puts that Maruszcyk video thread in context, don't it?! [/quote] Indeed.

I think the guy plays well. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feICBWaxuhg[/media]

For me, it's just a (Pro) musician demoing a vendor Bass. Just part of the job discription I take it for what it is, and that it is just a player improvising on the spot. Some of it good, some a bit messy. No big deal, it works (IMO). Actually, plenty of his YouTube Ensemble playing is good, in fact very good. He can certainly 'Groove' in a band situation. On a couple of videos, his soloing seems on the money as well. More than likely why he is an Endorsee (He knows what he is doing). Good luck to the guy.

I presume this is the meter reader ? If so, yeah, I share your horror. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltmIJTWEeXs
