purpleblob

One word to describe the combination of Bernard, Nile and Tony - "awesome". I know it's an obvious one but still it has to be done... There's some fantastic clothes being worn in this vid.

[quote name='cris the man' post='1276054' date='Jun 20 2011, 04:51 PM']im really hooked on the avante garde radio station on my jazz radio app on my HTC ( really great free app, look into it ) playing in a big band, one of the trumpet players showed me ambros akinmusire great trumpet player, such a dark tone [/quote] Wow thanks for sharing - that's fantastic !!!

I like SC and I like DC - just thought I'd say In answer to the OP "fad or future", I'd say neither - they're just alternatives.

Hell, I used to play metal with a Wal (and not even a painted one ). I think if image is the prerequisite then I black precision or maybe a BC Rich (but not the Warlord or anything too spiky, imo) or maybe an Explorer style. But really all I'd care about it was the music good.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1267831' date='Jun 13 2011, 08:23 PM']How about purplebob?[/quote] I don't really see myself as a "bob", I have my heart set on slimyblob for some strange reason.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1266852' date='Jun 13 2011, 12:24 AM']Ooops. My mistake. Wrong blob. Meant [b]thepurpleblob[/b]. It's all [i]very [/i]confusing. Sorry [/quote] np, I really should have a word with the mods and change my name as I believe thepurpleblob was here first.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1266622' date='Jun 12 2011, 09:00 PM']... and that [b]purpleblob's company [/b]used to have issues about small parts and wouldn't send them out in the end. It just goes on. It's the modern miracle.[/quote] I'd like to point out that my company has no issues with small parts, that's just a rumour

Oo must check it out. One of the all time great guitarists.

I liked the tune, but in this style of music the bass (at least in my opinion) cuts through the mix a lot more. I didn't feel the bass was as punchy as maybe it could have been. I'd agree with WHUFC BASS in that it seemed a little muffled. Unfortunately I'm no expert on mixing so I'm sorry to say I can only venture an opinion, not offer any plausible solutions.

Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but if you check out [url="http://www.victorwooten.com/labs.html"]http://www.victorwooten.com/labs.html[/url] there's a fingerboard trainer.

[quote name='skej21' post='1250750' date='May 30 2011, 08:38 PM']Nah, it's actually a clever marketing ploy so that all the slappers and fretw***ers have more room to show off in. Apparently, when someone chooses to "demonstrate their skills", a gang of screeching girls appears from nowhere and flocks around the potential customer. This helps to support the customer's delusion that their "skills" attract ladies, in turn increasing the chance of a sale by nearly 150%. True story.[/quote] Sounds like my sort of place

What a beautiful voice. Oh and nice bass as well

Well my Jaydee has now taken more than 15 months I think and I'm still waiting (not that it concerns me or anything, as I'm happy to get it when it arrives) so I suppose it's simply the case that these guys are very busy. It's good to see the Wal name surviving and possible flourishing and the same for the other British luthiers. As for the price, well the price is simply the price. We can argue all day about whether a Wal is worth this price tag or not

Good website and whilst I haven't had chance to listen to all the music, sounds pretty good.

Just to let you know this worked in Firefox but didn't seem to wanna work in IE 8.

I don't read but I really wish I could. Problem is I've not really got any major need to read except for my own interest. With regards theory I taught myself theory and know fair amount but I also wish I knew more.

[b]Sei 5 string Jazz[/b] Strangely I just realised most of my pics of this one are with it's fretted friend, ah well.

Surely there's a law against such abuse of an instrument ?! Surely ?

It's totally pointless..... Because his fav. colour is/should obviously be purple !

Exellent !
