    Pretty much the case for all the more esoteric brands.
  2. Mykesbass
    Judas!

    Case in point being Mike & the Mechanics, where live three of them share this duty, and do it well.

    Yes, these guys made the trip worthwhile. Really enjoyed their set and bought the CD. Surprised you didn't notice, it was, to my ears, a textbook example that there is so much more to playing even these simplest of lines than hitting all the right notes.

    Think it is deliberate - need to listen again as this was on in the car, but sounds like it was going to a semitone down, then sliding up to the right note.

    Burning Spear Social Living played tonight by Bobby Gillespie on 6Music. Slightly odd bass line (odd as in unusual and interesting)! http://youtu.be/kiHMvpQWCTI

    Nice. Cort make excellent basses - got a 5 string jazz that I really enjoy. Much advice on here about playing fivers. I did it by starting off playing around the 5th fret. All seemed to fall into place after that (makes playing in F, EB and D an absolute breeze).

    Very sophisticated. Looks great.

    And the vast majority of customers.

    One of the higher end SR series (1600 possibly) has Nordstrand pickups and they sounded great on a clip I heard. Made me gas for one, but the necks don't suit me.

    Wunjo in Denmark Street. Lovely people, and some interesting basses.
  12. Mykesbass
    Al di Meola - try the albums Elegant Gypsy and Splendido Hotel.

    Over £500 for a new one, so yes, well worth getting a tech to look at it. If it is not viable a decent tech will tell you before spending much of your money.

    Approach this in the right way and none of your band mates should have any problem with this. As BRX says, getting the right sounds for the songs is a very important part of rehearsing.
  15. Mykesbass
    Love the original, but this is also very nice.
  16. Mykesbass
    Pretty sure @BigRedXhas the answers for this.

    Saw/heard Dave Bronze at a gig last night. Blooming good isn't he?!

      I saw him playing with Andy Fairweather Low, a few years ago. They were supporting Robert Cray.

       

      He just brought a little Markbass amp on stage with him. No huge 8x10 for Dave.

      I really rate him. And he plays interesting basses. One show a Jazz pre interval, Precision after (Laklands?)

      I did think the headstock which was all I could see looked like a Lakland.

    I looked this up the other day - Hip Hop is the overall culture (music, fashion etc) and Rap was originally the music. Obviously there is Rap that isn't Hip Hop.

    Zombie thread resurrection as I'm loving Little Simz:

    I was the complete opposite - went in with an open mind, was losing the will to live after 10 minutes. Abba on the other hand I have gone from hating as a kid/teen through admiring and on to actually liking.
  22. Mykesbass
    Going to get a copy - sounded great. And checking out the dates.
  23. Mykesbass
    For the exact same reason many cover bands play the same material - it is what the punters want. Believe me, I ran a small guitar shop for two years with no Epiphone or Squier product. Everyone loved the Godins, Arias, Gordon Smiths et al but didn't buy the b*gg3rs.

    Had two fail on me. Early Class D Yamaha and a Hartke 2500 (which must have known how much I hated it)! On the other hand, my Carvin, which has a very bad reputation, is still going strong after many years, and a decent amount of gigs
  25. Mykesbass
    Used to gig the 112 Rumble. Had two, but really didn't need the second, just liked the look!! Wasn't the loudest band in the world but I always had plenty of volume to spare.
