Cheers Alun[/quote] Easy to get to from Bristol? Still tickets available?

[quote name='BigRedX' post='258413' date='Aug 8 2008, 07:14 PM']That's a wonderful piece of music. Is Manring using an Ebow at the end?[/quote] It is indeed a wonderful piece of music, and yes, it seems that Manring is using an ebow. Always been facinated by then, but never quite sure of what they do!!! I love it when Manring comes in at 1.01!!! Great

That dog, is adorbale. Some of the basses are quite nice as well lol

[quote name='Oscar South' post='258053' date='Aug 8 2008, 01:25 PM']I love how the youtube kids claim hes using a midi cello sound.[/quote] Last week I saw someone had written that Manring had all his tune changes programmed into a box and that him flicking the de-tuners was a show....sums up yootoobkids

Stumbled upon this this morning, and couldn't believe how great it was. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg5TaS4EIVE&feature=rec-fresh"]Rylynn[/url] Manring plays a great ambience behind the music, letting the guitars to the melody, however I feel I would of liked some more support work done by him, but a great tune anyways!

I normally take my PJ to band practice as its the perfect bass for a band setup, but I took my Shuker 6 last night, and it was WONDERFULL. Great sound and feel.

Girl - "Doesn't it normally have six strings?" Me - "No, why have you seen Anthony Jackson here alot?" Girl - "NO!!! I thought he stopped performing when the Jackson 5 broke up!!!" Fair comment I spose

Listening to the track it sounds like your playing it wrong. I think it should go - G-------------------------------------------------H--------- D----------------------------------------3--4--4-5--x------- A-------5------3--3--3----3--4--5-5-------------------5----- E--3-------6------------------------------------------------6--- For the first bit. The G after the F# as a hammer -on

[quote name='cheddatom' post='240012' date='Jul 15 2008, 01:43 PM']apparently "drumkit from hell" is where it's at. I've downloaded it (for trial purposes only) but I haven't tried it yet. Apparently the drummer from meshugga (sp?) uses it instead of recording live drums, and the samples are from his actual kit.[/quote] You are correct sir!

[quote name='johnnylager' post='235479' date='Jul 9 2008, 07:56 AM']Cliff Burton - Anaesthesia / Pulling Teeth from Kill 'em All[/quote] I remember learning this years ago!!! Pretty cool, I like it for when I wanna mess about and have a little fun.

I have a Shuker 6 string thu-neck. Very nice, no complains at all and an excellent bass.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='234624' date='Jul 7 2008, 11:42 PM']Victor Wooten's "Amazing Grace" seems to fit the bill. Yes, it's on YouTube & you can get it on musicnotes.com for a couple of dollars for the sheet music.[/quote] Thanks! Really liking this tune!

I'm really in the mood of late to learn a bass solo, however I'm not sure what so I was wondering if you friendly people could help out. Certain aspects I like are, - Chordal work or just chords - Harmonics (Don't say Portait of Tracy, learnt it, played it, forgot it ) - Strong sense of melody If there's a youtube video or such like even better. Cheers m'dears

I belive it's called a Google Check Thomann or strings direct maybe? I can imagine that EvilBay would have some.

[quote name='phsycoandy' post='233823' date='Jul 6 2008, 10:38 PM']I see ur point and heres a closer pic. tbh i major on th p pup with just a tad of the jazz for a warmer sound, but the sadowsky pre is so damn good it can sound like whatever u want really, im not a great one for single bridge mounted pups, so never use it on its own.[/quote] Well its an absolute gourgeous bass, congrats!

that top wood is lush

If you look at cool in the dictionary, theres a picture of that 77 p-bass....

The J pup on the Sadwosky is unsually high, whys that? What type of a sound does it give compared to the trad. P-J setups on P basses?

In a turnaround to the convorsation - I think Michael Manring is possibly one of the best MUSICIANS in the world and composers - he truly is a master and obviously is a clever clogs to work out the tunings and stuff that he uses in his songs. SO, what have the bass players mentioned brought to modern bass playing? I smell another thread coming on.....

That bass has been floating around for a while, great look for something different!!! Congrats

Surely the type of music plays comes into the objectivness of the convorsation as well? For example, I really like the music from RHCP and I like Flea's lines and I appeciate him for what he is/does even though I do think he is overated but if someone doesn't like RHCP. As another example I cannot stand Billy Sheehans music from his bands or him and as such I cannot appeciate him. But the hippie socialist side of me is getting out - arn't we all just trying to make music and have fun, even the famous bass players?

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ^_^
