There has been a lot of conjecture about Bernard Fowler's alleged similar role with the Stones for many years, although I haven't seen any evidence of that TBH.

ahh not THAT can of worms, again

Nah, on recent tours they've had a load of axuillary musos  - even someone shadowing Mick F.

yeah and there are probably backups for the backups under the stage, a la that EW&F vid with Verdine combing his hair while the bass kept going,then you spot players under the stage lol

in the Peter Green days?

But the lineup with the girls there was only Lindsay iirc?

ooh yeah I get that hehe

In my high school years in the 70s, you either loved Yes, or Emerson Lake and Palmer.

Two warring factions,we argued endlessly about how great our band was and how much their band sucked.

I secretly liked both hehe but Yes were my favourites

hang on, what are the other two guitarists doing there? when did FM have THREE guitars? what,are they a Lynyrd Skynyrd coverband now too?

Or buy it for your missus, and then borrow it on a permanent basis  ( bassis ? )

got to your room, go directly to your room,do NOT pass go, do NOT collect $200

I went to a jazz recital and was amused at the structured soloing. each musician stepped forward,played their solo,then the audience politely golf clapped,they stepped back,played together a bit then the next soloist stepped up. SO POLITE

Sorry, but have to disagree about Motown bassists lacking excitement compared with rock bassists. As a young teenager at the time, the sound of ‘Bernadette’ and other Motown gems coming down the corridor from my older brother’s Fidelity record player was enough to convince me to give stuff like Black Sabbath and Led Zep etc the elbow for good. All my mates were into heavy rock at the time, and Motown wasn’t considered hip at all, which somehow made it even more special for me. Soon as I started playing bass I certainly didn’t want to be Geezer Butler that’s for sure. 

you DO know you can like Led Zep AND motown don't you?

In FACT, listen to JPJ and you can tell James Jamerson was a big influence. No coincidence their initials start and end the same hehe

nup, snare too dull, no SNAP

keep searchin'

nice chill music though

Down Under in Oz, the best thing couriers have done is make Australia Post lift their game. Twice I've had parcels delivered from North Queensland ,up near the top of Oz, to me in South Australia, within 24 hours !

Think about Darryl Jones. Played with the Stones for 22 years and not considered a proper Stone...

Ron Wood is STILL the new guy, only been with them for 44? years lol

STOP IT

STOP IT RIGHT NOW

George, my 65 year old drummer, he's a machine

just plug his Roland kit into your interface and you're done in one take

haha good answer

Viva la difference 

put it this way, you don't need a computer to tell you how to walk up five frets,. If one note sounds "off" play the one next to it. It IS that simple, you know the key and remember your chord tones, and you know what? sometimes the 'wrong' note sounds better.

At least that's what I tell myself hehe

I want you to find them yourself, teach a man to fish and all that.

Play along to Moondance for instance, so what if you hit some duds, just play along and you will get it

Am Stnd is better than MIM for sure, rolled fretboard, better finish, bridge, pups, wiring etc, whether it's worth double the cost of an MIM is very debateable

get a Neo Tech pouch, the elsticised sides hold the battery door in place without needing tape

the small one fits the G30 perfectly

Comfort Strapps are awesome.

Also they have the smartest solution to locking the strap I've seen, so clever, so simple.

Neo Tech pouch. The small one fits the G30 perfectly.

Twin velcro and elastic straps to hold it onto your strap or belt,whatever it's size. Elasticised sides for a snug fit.

just re-read what i wrote and I didn't mean for it to be so snidey or rude, sorry mate

that is eerily exactly how we were hehe

Creating music using programming is as much art as is anything else.

What's so special about stuff being 'art', anyway..?

really?

no point arguing with someone that doesn't understand let alone appreciate art,of all sorts.

Listen to machine created "music" all you want mate

NO

creating music is ART not something to use an app for

it is not hard to walk between two chords, seriously

doing it well? that's the art

..or don’t you all take acid whilst playing these days?

once recorded a jam session where mushrooms were consumed by all.

Thought it was the best music we'd ever played.

Til we heard the recording lol

learn to play properly? 

I have never seen anyone play bass that badly that they hit the jack. Not even Sid Vicious.

Video of you playing or I call shenanigans

Time to invent the jackguard?
