Never seen that one before. I found my bunch of reprobates using joinmyband.co.uk.

[quote name='silddx' post='1050395' date='Dec 7 2010, 12:14 PM']What a cracking post! I want one now! Thanks CoF[/quote] So do I Haven't even had any grumbles from Mrs Marvin about getting one. I think she might be angling for something.

I place my thumb behind the neck!

I haven't bought it for about 12 months. I'm afraid there's nothing in there that appeals. Interviews with bassists that either I've never heard of or they're in bands I'm not much fussed by. Most of the gear is high end so I'd never even consider buying it (because I simply couldn't afford it), hence an appraisal of it is of no interest to me. As for the look of it? Not mad keen on it. Apologies to the contributors who are also members on here but I get so much more info from this site.

[quote name='JTUK' post='1043541' date='Dec 1 2010, 11:12 AM']OP...just follow the main gtr riff and then root notes with a step between. I really don't get the obsession with following a line perzactly... It is more important to get your line to work with your drums. That way, you sound instantly tight and you just check the format of the song and you're done .... and move onto the next song.[/quote] It was the end of a bad day and trying to fit too much in at the end of it. Should have gone to bed really It's a straightforward song. Whoever played the bass on the track didn't get too fancy with it so it's no great shakes to play something that sounds right and tight. Cheers

[quote name='tedgilley' post='1043187' date='Dec 1 2010, 12:00 AM']This isn't too uncommon. Sometimes the group would want the tempo picked up a bit and would have the whole thing speeded up a bit in the final recording process, which results in 'inaccurate' notes. The Beatles did this occasionally. tg[/quote] Ha! Damned amateurs! Thanks for the tip, it would seem to explain the quite frankly bizarre tuning.

The recording I have, if you try and play say the bass part behind the main riff (which ok is basically just playing a root note) then it sounds out of tune whether you play B or Bb or any note whatsoever. It just sounds out. Perhaps I should get my ears tested Can you get your ears tuned?

I've come to the conclusion that there are some things I like and some things I don't like and some things I'm ambivalent towards. And that others take a contrary view in some instances from me, which I don't mind, I'm not one to force people to listen to what I like if they don't like it. I've also found that if I hold my breath and then build up a lot of pressure in my head my ears make a squeaking noise and I get a nose bleed. Carry on!

The damn thing's out of tune FFS. I thought it was punk that was played primarily out of tune. I knew there was a reason I hated the Stones /rant

[/quote] Sorry reminded me of a joke Rich Hall told on Friday night. All the best Clarky. As usual I'm stuck in the provinces and unable to attend. Saying that I'm always in the provinces. Sorry I'm rambling.

Are you enjoying it? If so, I'd keep going and see how things pan out.

Mark Jay Smith, can't remember what the track is called, sorry.

Google's my home page. Don't know why really but it is. The vast majority of my online time is spent on here though. It's not healthy really.

[quote]Just signed up to basschat as it seems to have a lot going on on its pages. Have picked up the only real musical instrument again after a 15 year gap, although when I was 'playing' previous was a bit of a 3 note dud. Currently borrowing a Vintage V4 from a drummer. Must admit struggling a bit on returning to playing. Would welcome any advice or tips.![/quote] First post from a person using a different user name Sounds a bit of a kn0b to me. I'm talking about myself btw.

[quote name='BassBen' post='1034120' date='Nov 23 2010, 05:22 PM']Ashdown mag 300 1x15 combo in ours. [/quote] Don't be sad Last night I found that the amp supplied was a beat up Peavey TKO80. Jeez was it rough. Twiddle, twiddle and more twiddle and still couldn't find out how to make it sound good, although this was complicated by the strange buzzing noise made at random intervals

[quote name='MythSte' post='1033357' date='Nov 22 2010, 11:11 PM']Christ you guys are lucky! Its all Ashdown EB180 combos and Crate something-150's.[/quote] Aren't they! Rehearsed the other night and it was a Fender Rumble 100. It did the job. If I'd spent some time tweaking I'd probably got a sound I preferred out of it. I've got a rehearsal tonight, somewhere different, (as long as things go to plan) and arranged to hire an amp (mine won't keep up). I'm a little worried as last time we went there we hired a kit and, well, it wasn't particularly impressive. I've just found the website for the rehearsal studios, apparently it's a quid for a 50w practice amp. Oh well, should make for an interesting session EDIT: also describes itself as state of the art? Uh, well, not really.

[quote name='pqs' post='1031607' date='Nov 21 2010, 05:51 PM']Well we had a practice yesterday and had a really good time,although I have been playing weeks and one guitarist has played for 7 years and the other one has been playing at least 20! I got a bit nervous when one of the guitarists opened his cases and had a Gary Moore Les Paul and his back up was a Fender Strat compared to my Yammy. We had a good time and are meeting up in a couple of weeks this time with a drummer (he couldn't make yesterday so we used the drum machine on a Line 6 combo). I played through an Ashdown Electic Blue 15 180 watts it was ok seemed loud but didn't have it two high as I tried to hide a bit at first but turned it up as confidence grew. I am looking to probably buy one of these next year when I have saved a few pennies although one of the guys has offered to let me use a [b]mesa boogie rig.[/b] Thanks for your help Pete[/quote] Ooooh, you lucky devil you Good to hear it went well. Nothing wrong with they Yammy, it does the job it's asked to do. Cheers

Once again I must send my apologies for not be able to attend, what promises to be, a delightful event. Jeez living in Devon can be so dull sometimes All the best. PS. Has Pete's avatart resigned yet? I'm still available for the tour, I've cleared my diary

I think I might ignore this thread.

Aye! What? Oh I just can't be arsed sometimes.

They don't write them like they used to do they?
