[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1364573430' post='2028382'] I think anyone that thinks this way is just getting old, I thought Jessie J and Katy Perry were both known for being song writers that had sucess writing for other people at a young age then decided to take a bit of the limelight for themselves? Lady Gaga is a great vocalist, pianist, songwriter and to top it off can dance too. The latest Justin trousersnake song is quite catchy if I remember and he can dance too. I'm not really into that sort of music but people just toss these names into these discussions because their own record collection ended when they left college in 1984, people have said it since the birth of popular music, rubbish, can't tell what they are singing, hair like girls blah blah. [/quote] i must be getting old then.. i remember my dad saying to me when i was 18ish. i was listening to alot of house music.. he said whats that repetitive rubbish.. this was in the days of chicago house when all the recordings were played live with live instruments.. i never wanted to get to a point where someone says im old because im not hip with the new stuff.. imo the greatest new stuff is not in the charts... its somewhere where you need to dig a little to find it...

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1364571350' post='2028344'] That's a joke right? [/quote]im not having a good day with my bad words and posts. obviously thats not the case FlyFisher... im not my self im afraid.. speaking without thinking..

Had a conversation today with my sister about who might be the next super star of music.. and we really couldnt think of any.. then we came on to the conversation that Prince is the only real living legend that is still making music... i really couldnt think of any that could come close to him. micheal jackson, the boss, james brown, madonna,,Stevie Wonder .. makes me think that making music was harder to learn back then.? i had another conversation with a great drummer who was in the mind set that music was being diluted.. i agree...

ive always thought anyone you play with who has disapproval of the gear you use, is either not worth making music with, or is very immature

i cant vouch for every vid but there are some f***in cool ones.. a few of my favorites are Tal Wilkenfield,.. the Louis Johnson slap is very cool.. made me laugh when i saw the Jeff Berlin one. "super technical approach".. ? i have to say im not a fan of that dick head... yes i said it..... im sure you hve seen most of these vids but maybe not on one site,.the stand outs for me were john entwistle, tom hamilton from aerosmith,Mark King, and that Micheal Manring vid is fantastic.. http://famousbassplayers.com/

another great tune.. great bass playing.. i believe the bass is played from his main man Richard Bull. i could be wrong on this.. ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ChOr7ChIog

thankyou.

thanks dude.. i think there might be something else going on has it is starting to scratch alot, and sounding very strange when i do push the knob and shaft in, to try and turn it.. thanks i will ask [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]KiOan's advice..[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ps. how can i find him [/font][/color]

thanks bassintheface, but i would really like an original looking Jazz Bass control plate and knobs, that is of course if a J Retro costs less than a Fender control plate... thanks gjones for the input dude..

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1363900816' post='2019281'] Are you saying the knob won't come off the pot because it doesn't have a grubscrew? Usually a bit of force will do the trick with those types (mine are the same).But if you can't budge it, I reckon that if you popped the control plate, with knobs attached, in a box and posted it to [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]KiOgan he would be able to replace the pot and get it back to you by early next week. He was very accomodating when I got my wiring loom from him. And his prices are very reasonable.[/font][/color] [/quote]no, the shaft that the pot is attached to has snapped off, so the shaft that is glued into the knob (blimey this is like a carry on film he he) has come away from the pot, so if placed back is just spinning around with no tone control.. i can actually pull the knob out with the rest, of the shaft attached.. i hope that makes sense...

ive not heard of Axetec Zig.. aa..? sorry maybe im being a bit slow..?

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1363892450' post='2019091'] I believe they are al the same shape but I found out the hard way that the holes in the control plate, that the pots go through, are not always the same size. On some Japanese/fareastern ones the holes are slightly smaller. KiOgan will be the expert as he is probably asked this question 10 times a day when people buy his wiring looms for Jazz basses (as I did when I bought one and the full size cts pots didn't fit my MIJ control plate). [/quote]im thinking the easiest (non financial) way, may be to buy a new fully loaded control plate... cant seem to find one in the UK mind..

Im needing a new control plate for my MIJ 75 Jazz.. the back pickup stem has snapped... any clues if Fender do just a standard control plate for every jazz bass.. not looking forward to the price of a new USA control plate to be honest... i should add the control plate i have has no grub screws in the knobs.. so i cant just replace the pot... if i remember the USA versions do.?

anyone know of any good rehearsal rooms/spaces between evesham and Birmingham.. preferably in the middle... just met a new drummer and was hoping to find a studio/rehearsal room in this rough area to meet up and have a jam... thanks for any info.

just wondered what time sig you think this is in.. would work it out for my self but i cant play any music at the mo.. thought i would ask the BC experts..? jump to 1.00 minute in.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeLmVWzRiY0[/media]

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1362857164' post='2005473'] My main non bass playing musical heros are, in no particular order: Jon Lord Neil Peart Larry Carlton --- edit --- Just though what an awesome band that would have made ... [/quote]im with you on the Larry Carlton, his stuff with steely dan among others is amazing..
