I am plugging post-goth as a genre (not sure if it exists yet)[/quote] Must be something to do with living in North Devonia mate. Some of the stuff we play should be under a rock, under lots of rocks, in a hole filled with rocks. I'd trademark the 'post-goth' before some bugger comes along and nicks and makes a fortune.

I don't think I've even touched a Fender but even I can see that's a bitsa, just looks plain wrong.

Not I.

Don't know what it was, but the guy from the Eels, may have been a short scale as well. Scratch that, must have been a different band, he was playing a black p-bass with a maple neck. Oooops. Nice though DOUBLE EDIT: no, I was right, end of the set he was playing something else. Not overly cool but different which is cool in itself, and what a beard

Sell out/musical whore.

BTW are you sure that it's Garcia on "This is the House"? He wasn't part of the band for the Sweet Dreams tour...[/quote] Great band, loved them. Reminds me that I need to get my copy of Doppleganger back off of someone

[quote name='4 Strings' post='1281671' date='Jun 24 2011, 11:34 PM']Did you notice his techie pressing his pedal buttons for him?[/quote] How lazy is that? Wish my guitarist would get someone to push his pedal buttons, might speed our set up a little

[quote name='JTUK' post='1281654' date='Jun 24 2011, 11:17 PM']Have t say..so far, on another slant....haven't seen a very good set by anyone, U2 were average, for example.. The crowd seem to be into it all though.[/quote] Never comes across very well on the tele for me anyway. Although I can't say I'd want to be stood in a muddy field, in the night whilst the sky released 50 million gallons of water on to me

[quote name='paulwillson' post='1279289' date='Jun 23 2011, 01:56 AM']i have an ibanez sr506, happy with the sound, look, feel and weight however the bridge proved to be a real problem. i actualy have 2 in my possesion at the moment and the both fall down the same pit hole. The grub screws sink into the saddles creating clinky noises when fretted. especialy on the A,D and G strings. had to buy a new bridge as the stock ones are seemling awful. theres a few bits and bobs on the net slating the 'nez SR506 bridges. i would imagine its a problem with the stock bridges on the whole SR series although i can only seem to find complaints about the 506 series...[/quote] I'm having exactly the same problem with my SR300. It did it at a gig a few weeks ago, half way through the second set I noticed the E string was choking. I'd be interested to find out what bridge you replaced the stock one with. One issue I do have with Ibanez is parts. It took them over 6 weeks to source a battery box/compartment and send it to my local music store. It's a great bass though, sound and playability. But I've bought a Rockbass rather than another Ibanez.

No.

I used to have just one bass but now I have one more.

I sometimes venture up to the 11th fret, but mainly keep to the bottom 7. I wouldn't want to be thought of as extravagant in any way you see.

[quote name='jakesbass' post='1278763' date='Jun 22 2011, 05:09 PM']It's just a sound I hear a lot, and when deciding what would sit well in a track I sometimes think 'hmmm a P would fill this one's ass very well' [/quote] Hhhmmmm. My prognosis is, you may simply have GAS

[quote name='jakesbass' post='1278731' date='Jun 22 2011, 04:50 PM']Nig the truth of it is that as you well know I have a couple of killer basses, I can get an extraordinary range of sounds from the Alembic (I'm still finding them) The main thinking is for the studio when I want an arsenal of sounds, I can get a sound that suits my playing a million times over from all my basses acoustic and electric, I just think that the P would finish the picture and mean that on a session I can supply everything that is required... Don't get me wrong I get a lot of good feedback from engineers and producers about my sound but to pull that last classic bass out would finish it off.[/quote] Can I assume, and for once I'm being serious, that you feel a P-Bass is a bit like a blank piece of paper on which you can create what you want. Yes I know that sounds ridiculous but hope you get the drift.

[quote name='Dave Vader' post='1278683' date='Jun 22 2011, 04:28 PM'](though in isolation it sounds like a horse taking a dump into a pile of rubber bands supporting some depressed penguins).[/quote] This is an all to common occurrence in North Devon, especially in the summer

I thought I wanted a P-Bass and then ended up buying a Warwick Rockbass Corvette Not sure what went on there. I see they've still got[url="http://www.newkingsroadguitars.co.uk/guitarshop/1952_FENDER_PRECISION.html"] this little baby[/url] there. What a steel Looks like it just left the factory.

If it weren't for punk most of the bands I listen to wouldn't be around. Punk did what it needed to, give music a kick up the backside. It did it, we moved on.

[quote name='Bilbo' post='1277564' date='Jun 21 2011, 07:36 PM']And what's wrong with spontaneity? [/quote] It's self indulgent EDIT: Silldx got there first I'm going off to build my self a fish.

[quote name='silddx' post='1277471' date='Jun 21 2011, 06:38 PM']Because it would be self indulgent to bother making the distinction?[/quote] You're entirely correct [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1277482' date='Jun 21 2011, 06:44 PM']It was a joke, but I guess it fell flat 'cos there's no room for humour in a thread about Jazz. [/quote] I was trying to keep it going to take my mind off of the Jazz But you're right, there is no place for humour in serious discussion about Jazz *Marvin frowns knowingly*

[quote name='silddx' post='1277450' date='Jun 21 2011, 06:19 PM']I'm not sure I understand the point either! I understand that the more complex the music becomes and the more jazz and classically influenced, the more money, intellect and power the performers are believed to have by the angry punks and layabouts who like three out-of-tune chords and 'the truth', and it breeds grave resentment among the uncultured. [/quote] I'm more worried that WoT doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between a child's building brick and a fish.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1277435' date='Jun 21 2011, 06:08 PM']Found one! Oooh... two, actually! Do I win a prize?[/quote] Afraid not, that's a sticklebrick not a stickleback. All rather fishy.

This thread has baffled me, I can't work out what on earth is going on.

Trying to cheer myself up by listening to a lot of Radiohead.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='1277068' date='Jun 21 2011, 02:03 PM']The we7 link I gave above is for the album that contains this track. I don't know Grooveshark, but suspect that we7.com and Grooveshark might be the same thing. But, back on topic, I like this track and the bass riff.[/quote] Sorry, I was being too lazy to log into we7 and had grooveshark on already - all the same. It has got a good riff to it, I agree.

[url="http://vlog.xuite.net/play/ZVRLZVVjLTIzNzkwODkuZmx2"]cibo matto - spoon[/url] This is a decent studio version of one of theirs. I quite like it. Nice groove I thought. EDIT: or just go to Grooveshark and listen to the album for free
