[quote name='badboy1984' post='1216636' date='May 1 2011, 04:12 PM']I'm interest and you got me GASing now for this. Nothing better than having this as my backup to my jazz and musicman[/quote] Cheap 'n cheerful and it sounds great. What more can you wish for? Pete

Hi all Up for sale is my heavily gigged Cort GB334A. 4 strings, 22 frets, 9 lbs. Neck is more 'P' than jazz, I measure it at about 1.56" width at the nut with 0.8125" depth at the 1st fret (fretboard radius 12"). Sounds great, lots of funky tonal variety with the jazz and MM pickups. Really nice neck join + tapered heel, smooth-looking inlays, and a beautiful feeling and stable neck with very low action. Nice looking maple and rosewood used for the neck, agathis body. A well built instrument, all told. Rated well by Bass Guitar Magazine when reviewed a few years back. Controls are volume, blend, and stacked bass/treble. Electronics are in full working order. A few areas on the neck that could use some cleaning up, and the pickups could use a little tidying up too, but nothing that elbow grease shouldn't sort out. A great bass (and not just for this kind of silly money)! There are some great videos of the refresh model (the GB34A) on Youtube - I have included links - same bass, slightly different bridge, same electronics and, I believe, pickups. This bass sounds like the GB34A in the videos, so you'll get a good idea of it from that. Links - [url="http://youtu.be/rctn9oOv2b0"]http://youtu.be/rctn9oOv2b0[/url], [url="http://youtu.be/_EdxZyUS5QY"]http://youtu.be/_EdxZyUS5QY[/url]. The weblink to the 'refresh' model at Cort is at [url="http://www.cortguitars.com/_webapp_3835206/GB34A#;"]http://www.cortguitars.com/_webapp_3835206/GB34A#;[/url] I'm afraid I can't find any links to the previous model. however the specs appear unchanged save for a passive-active push-pull switch. A new one of these will run you £250 or so. [b][s]£100[/s] [u][color="#008000"]£90 shipped in the UK[/color][/u][/b] for this one and it's yours. I'm happy to take Paypal. [b]NOW SOLD.

Neck and rear pickups both down at 60-70% of max (but equal), tone turned down to somewhere between 50% and max, depending on strings - perfect for straightahead jazz, very mellow indeed. Turn up at amp if more volume needed. NOT the same tone as turning up both pickups to max and turning the tone knob down. Don't ask me why this is, I don't know. It just works. Other settings essentially as per previous posters. Pete

Hi all I have become rather fond of my TC RH450, and have found myself using the Markbass F1 less as time goes on. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Though it is so light, it has been the easiest amp schlep to gigs/rehearsals of my life.... I'm sure you all know the specs, but have attached a link for further info if necessary. [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mark_Bass_F1.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp...rk_Bass_F1.html[/url] I bought this from Patch006 here on Basschat, and it's been 100% reliable for rehearsals and gigs. It's also pretty loud, quite able to power my power-hungry Acme B1 and B2. It'll ship in the original Markbass box, with the manual. [s]£400 shipped in the UK.[/s] SOLD.

Hi all I have replaced my small jazz gig + rehearsal set-up with an Acme B1/TC RH450 combo. So, I am selling up my faithful Trace Elliot Boxer 30 amp, which I used regularly for the last 4-5 years as my go-to for small gigs and rehearsals. Surprisingly loud for its size, solid tone, and reliable. 30W into a 10" Celestion speaker, 14kg, 40 x 29 x 41 cm. Headphone jack. I have attached a copy of the instruction manual and suggested settings manual along with pics. I have found the suggested settings to be effective. £50 + shipping, or you can come and collect from Edinburgh.

A great article on what to do with your transcriptions.
funkle replied to funkle's topic in Theory and Technique
[quote name='Stuart Clayton' post='1167007' date='Mar 18 2011, 12:53 PM']That's an excellent article, and bizarrely, is similar to something I've been working on recently.[/quote] Yep, what you describe sounds pretty familiar. Amazing what one solo can do. I've been playing a Gerry Mulligan solo from 'All The Things You Are' for the last month and getting it up to speed (210bpm). Only now am I ripping it apart and taking all the constituent 'bits' (ii-V-I's, minor ii-VI's, V7-I resolutions, diminished runs, etc) and putting them in all 12 keys. I will [i]own[/i] these one day. It's a good thing I like this solo, 'cause I'm going to be living with it for a long time... Pete -

Glad you enjoyed it! I have found the website to be excellent also, and have added it to my RSS feed. -
I recall a thread discussing what we all do with our transcriptions a while back. I found a very good article on the same theme and thought others would enjoy it also. [url="http://jazzadvice.com/how-transcribing-one-solo-can-entirely-change-your-approach-to-improvising/"]http://jazzadvice.com/how-transcribing-one...to-improvising/[/url] It's really very good. Pete

Quick note for anyone interested. Charlie Banacos' daughter Barbara is responding to emails sent to Charlie's email and is still taking on correspondence students (in conjunction with Gary Diall). The materials are all from Charlie's legendary book of exercises. See www.charliebanacos.com. Jeff Berlin is also doing lessons over Skype. I'm thinking of going back down this road again, since I know him well enough now. When I see Joe Hubbard also does Skype lessons, I think that it seems we live in a time when we have an embarrassment of riches, in terms of quality materials and teaching available. Pete
