Amazing bass player.

The bass line to 'The Only Living Boy In New York' is still one of the most sublime pieces of playing I've ever heard.

 

agree wholeheartedly

his playing on America is the epitome of melodious wonderment

R.I.P Joe

at 1:46 to 1:55 are the money notes to me

an acoustic bass needs an amp to be heard with two acoustic guitars and a cajon. Defeats the whole purpose, so if I need my amp, I take my P bass too.

King of Birds always makes my neck hair stand on end

don't buy phones because of the cable length, buy an extension cable. Do you think every studio buys exclusive pro headphones with extra long cables?

analogue interface? via your mic input on the pc?

hope you didn't pay much for it. Why not a USB interface?

I cannot think why anyone would want such a device instead of a USB soundcard

Why do vegans and vegetarians feel the need to make themselves sound special? 

I dont like fish or gammon for example so I'd just avoid it at a buffet, it's a buffet so you just take things you like, aren't allergic to or have moral issues eating. If there's nothing you like get a McDonald's on the way home!

POST OF THE YEAR !

I wish we could fast forward a million years so all the vegans would die out from lack of iron and good protein. We developed these large brains from eating cooked meat.

Blue note, Brown note, let's face it, we have the POWER

Boris Johnson on keyboards? 

Great stuff

and Chumlee from Pawn Stars on drums lol

great cover, I can get close to that bass tone with a Jazz with Roto rounds thru a Tech21 Bass Driver DI....close......dang, I need a Ric now too.....

I got one from China, about $5AU which is like half a Euro sigh

yeah great, thanks. Just what we need, more GAS for even cooler and more expensive basses we don't need hehe.

Let Jake take care of it

Jake Blues: I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn’t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

Live sound mixing needs a dedicated proffessional, not the guitarist or bassist to do it in a soundcheck.

You need to hear the vocals clearly.

The loudness of the drummer determines the lowest level the rest of the band can play at. Loud drummer means everything else has to be loud as well.

Pro drummers can play fast AND softly at the same time

99% of pub band drummers are NOT pro drummers.

It starts and ends with them

but the BEST was Sir Vivian Richards.

Dennis Lillee beat him outside off stump

Dennis "Hey Viv, it's the red thing"

Lillee beats him outside off stump again.

Dennis "Viv, it's the little red round thing.

And again

Next ball, Sir Vivian whacks the ball out of the stadium

Sir Viv "You know what it looks like, YOU go find it"

Very true, it's just a passion of mine to play it note for note

Thanks everyone. All great advice....get this......tried out my stuff today....duff main lead.....and hate the sound of my new set up. Bugger. Gotta get into town tomorrow and buy decent leads and work on my gear.

how will changeing a lead improve your new setup? What's wrong with it? What is it?

how RUDE, looking away from whomever was kind enough to take a pic of you and your new bass

Happy New Bass Day

we heckle ourselves

"Thank YOU, you're a lovely audience, Wayne"

all the above, AND tuck your cable between your strap and the bass before going into the jack, it acts as a strain relief for WHEN you or a bandmate steps on your cable and you give it a big yank

My suggestion is outside the music...

If you don't know the other band members, ask to meet up outside the rehearsal room to see if you all get on.

IMO, getting on with future band mates is just as important as the music.

Get to know the tune, see if you can add anything to the tune, fills, runs, etc. Be yourself, have confidence in your abilities, relax and enjoy.

I seriously doubt whole band will drop everything and meet up with you without even knowing if you can play? Imagine they are auditioning 4 bassists, that's 4 'dates' they have to organise. Won't happen.

IF you audition well, they will organise a get together to 'get to know you'. 

Usually after the audition you'll all sit down and talk, that's how I've always done it anyway

Don't over think it, learn their song.

Best of luck

ooh I've learnt something today, I thought ALL MIA Fenders had the truss nut adjustment at the heel not the headstock. Was this just for this model bass?

..... BUT ...... Led Zeppelin is nearly 50 years old. 

yes, and I've ALMOST learnt Ramble On and Lemon Song note for note.........

I only heard about this song after someone posted it as their fave bassline.

It's very understated, but every note is just perfect

We were booked to play a disco on a Monday night. I know, what could possibly go wrong, right?

The disco was above a pub, entrance via outside stairs.

Door charge $5

We played originals and REM,Smiths,Cure covers,this was in the 90s

Before we started a few guys came up from the bar downstairs, looked in at the empty room and the $5 door charge and immediately went back down the stairs.

THEN one of those pub crawl party busses rolls up full of girls on a hen's night. I gave them free entry as they were only staying for 15 minutes

THEN all the men from the bar must've heard or seen them and all of a sudden they were all handing over their 5 bucks and the room was full.

We start to play, place is ROCKIN

then the whistle blew and all the pretty young things got on the bus and left

I still remember the look on the blokes faces when they realised what had just happened

Actually, WORST AND BEST GIG EVER

wow thanks for posting that,I'm pretty sure that is what I read ages ago.

JPJ and Jimmy Page played together on a LOT of the 60s British hits

I mean a LOT, like maybe 60%, 75% or more iirc
