    What a great tune that is.

    Phew! I can relax.

    I had a 55-02 and the MM pickup was more like a beefy J pickup, same with the Sandberg VM I had.

    Ooh, a 55-01 with Nordy Big Singles or Splits would be awesome.

    Just seen on Facebook that the Sire U5 gigbag is a fit for the Mustang. https://www.andertons.co.uk/sire-bass-gig-bag-for-u5-series/ Pics here for those who FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/116321885064706/permalink/25321547407448806/?

    Exactly. A better place to start is with the chords of a given major scale. If you start from the second degree for the C major scale, you get a D minor voice, if from the seventh degree, you’re voicing a B diminished (Locrian).

    I tripped up over my explanation, you are correct. The problem is that theory books often use the C major scale as a start point to explaining modes. I have edited my post, to try and clarify (I may have just muddied the waters though ).
  12. ezbass
    The Dorian mode of Bb starts on C, yes. This is where it becomes confusing. The mode refers to its relationship to the Ionian root. Now I’m starting to question my own thinking .
  13. ezbass
    That’s because it isn’t the Dorian of C major, it’s the Dorian of C, it being the 2nd degree of the Bb Major (Ionian) scale. If the key was C major, it’s what you would play over a D minor chord. Yes, it’s confusing and mostly a method of analysing melodies or solos IMO.

    Modes are scales. For instance, the Phrygian mode is merely the major scale, starting on the major 3rd.
  17. ezbass
    IIRC modes inform what scale can be played over certain chords in the key, this may be erroneous. That said, the only times I’ve been aware of playing particular modes are using the Mixolydian for the dominant 7th and the Phrygian when playing Chick Corea’s Spain or the outro to Haitian Divorce, where it moves between E and F root notes.

    Maybe, but I won’t do anything about it. It seems that last year’s abstinence challenge has broken me, other than the roller bridge I bought (which is fantastic BTW, should have done it ages ago, Bigsby tuning stability to kill for), I just can’t be bothered at the moment. This sucks .

    I go for the strap at sitting height. However, I know that my posture is different when standing, which means the strap length is slightly different. Fortunately, this doesn’t give me any issues. Therefore, set the strap for being comfortable when standing and if everything else stays comfortable, that’s your strap length.

    That’s looks fab.

    Just to throw another lookalike option in.

    Saw him locally, last year, in Blair Atholl Castle. He still has the voice to hit those high notes perfectly. A very enjoyable gig.
