Interesting Yamaha TRB-6P Prototype.
Beedster replied to binky_bass's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
What if you get it wrong…..🤔 -
That’s either some busy double bass playing or a hell of a long gig? Or Jazz 😀

Mesa Boogie Walkabout combo *on hold* - *SOLD*
Beedster replied to essexbasscat's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Oomph? Wallop? The term you are seeking is ‘heft’ 👌 I’ve some electric gigs this summer and would love to get a Walkabout, consider me interested 👍 -
Link would help?
-
Nice looking instrument 👍
-
Damn, not only does this tick every bass box I have, I'm due to be in Leeds next week as well 🤔 -
Reverb is a nice place to sell as it's mostly musicians. It's generally slower than eBay and a little less user friendly, but I much prefer it, I've sold to US and EU there with no hassle
-
Exactly 👍
-
Absolutely, really not sure why anyone would think it was to be honest? You'd be bringing them to a slow market and adding a significant/prohibitive cost to any potential buyer in the EU. Add to that the fact above, that any decent shop will not risk the wrath of HMRC so you will pay duties plus the cost of moving them to UK. Furthermore while with eBay/Reverb etc you can negotiate directly with buyers to speed up sales, many instruments sit in shop inventories for months if not years.....
-
100% this. plus sell them on eBay with an international postage option (when I used to buy and sell a lot, I often found that instruments that didn't sell in the UK would be gone within minutes when I added an EU option). This is especially the case ad Denmark is still EU so buyers won't have to pay taxes/duties.

Agreed, it's not his best, there are some clips where his ensemble playing is perfectly balanced between creative technique and supporting the song, worth checking some of his other stuff out on that basis But yes, all too often slap shouts 'look at me' to an audience. Funny how the same audience member might cheer the upright player when s/he does a bit of slap at a gig, yet also turn to their mates in the audience and say how f***ing awful it sounded why can't they bassist just support the song (I know from personal experience.....🤔)
-
In essence yes, same notes & same timing to start with, with as much of the originally fingerstyle part slapped or popped as is reasonably possible, see how things work, and then adapt as necessary
-
I'd start by trying to play the finger style basslines you've written using slap. It'll probably sound crude at first but as you get more into the lines you'll find that using slap brings new ideas and options to what was a fingerstyle line

1970’s/80’s Eko Made Encore ABG fretless £175 plus postage - *SOLD*
Beedster replied to AndyTravis's topic in Basses For Sale
I wish I needed an acoustic fretless 'cos I love it Andy 👍 -
Pay the £18, money well spent and keeps the site going 👍

Ampeg SVT II: For when you need the whole room to feel as well as hear what your playing Mesa M-Pulse 600: For when you want to sound like you have a big tube amp but don't MusicMan Audiophile HD500: For when you want lovely clean and funky tone plus you want bassists to ask about it at gigs

PhD Psychology here. I now understand how little I and science generally really knows about the human mind and behaviour 🤔
-
Have a listen to Graceland and get a feel for just how great it can sound 👍
-
There's a big part of me would love to be able to play slap (well) on the DB, but I generally find that when I see other players using it, I find it something of a turnoff (although I did like the playing of Hugh Bradly you posted a few months back), as is very much the case with fretted bass. But slap on a fretless bass is a style I generally love both to listen to and to play 👍

Sphere LX mic sold pending the usual, so prices for the remaining two Softube Console & Fader £500 ono Universal Audio x8p £1800 ono The above are very good prices compared to eBay at present, largely because I generally enjoy dealing with the members here and generally don't enjoy dealing with people on eBay 👍 -
Yes, the mic itself doesn't, it's a standard stereo unit in many respects (albeit a very high quality one), but they work with UAD software to model the characteristics of a wide range of mics. Much like other modelling tech, it takes a bit of time to accept the break with time honoured traditions, but once you do, wow life gets easier, especially given you can switch mic models/placement/axes in post-production, meaning you don;t have to faff around with mic selection when tracking. Great kit Shameless plug for a Universal Audio Sphere LX modelling mic for sale elsewhere on the forum, even I don't need three of them 👍 -
1) Glad you’re making progress 2) Slap on fretless is a lovely style 3) This thread is about slap on DB 👍
-
The Sphere, unused, still boxed, split XLR cable included (necessary to use unit with modelling software)
-
And next up the Softube, also in very good condition and mounted in bespoke desktop rack
