The Return of the 7lbs ISH Jazz bass (£325/200) - *WITHDRAWN*
cdog posted a topic in Basses For Sale
I have stuffed too many basses under my side of the bed so this one has to go. It has been listed on basschat twice previously, the last time under 'Jazz Bass Bitsa - just a tad over 7lbs!! ' I have added an East J-Retro 01 preamp to it which cost me £125 from this forum. It's a great bass, really lightweight, really comfy to play, articulates well and the preamp adds more tonal control. If you don't want the preamp then it's £200, but I'd rather sell them together tbh so I'll give it a few days to sell together and if noone wants that then I will replace the preamp with the original loom. Thanks for looking. Collect from Leeds.-

Selection of strings £70
cdog posted a topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
I've been trying out new strings, and some I don't need any more. £20+ postage Elixir stainless strings, 5 string set, very lightly used, turns out I don't like stainless strings, cut for a Sire V5 so 4-1 head with through body stringing. SOLD £25+postage Ernie ball Cobalt flats short scale, cut for a Mustang PJ, would not fit a through string Mustang. Lightly used at home, didn't get on with them either. £5 +postage GHS precision flats low B string uncut £10+postage Adagio flats cut for P bass £10+postage Adagio flats cut for 2*2 (Vester clipper) My postage preference would be to use ' in post' lockers as it's £1.99 and super convenient. -

I'd agree with all of the above : your role in the jam session is to drive the rhythm and to help the other musicians to anticipate what's coming ( which is what a good drummer does too eg any song by the pixies). So I'd be really focussing on roots and 5ths, and leading up and down to changes with runs where appropriate. Keeping it simple and in time will be much better for the group than trying to put loads of notes in. At home I'd play along to jam tracks on YouTube where you can experiment with your runs and make your mistakes.

Recommendations on apps or ways to track how good your timing is?
cdog replied to alexa3020's topic in Theory and Technique
No it's not smart like that, just like a drum box app. It's free though and so I try to practice with it to help my timing -
Here's some recordings, but the guitarist has moved to electric now, so I'd say the folky feel has gone a bit. It's the ones marked live. Woman is the most poppy https://m.soundcloud.com/user-956758613

cdog replied to alexa3020's topic in Theory and Technique
The SBL groove trainer has a setting that plays a drum beat that then drops out and in again which is good for internal timing, but I don't think that's quite what you're looking for. -
I set my squire pj to bead last year. I really liked it as a lot of the compositions in my band are in E so I could approach the E from below and I didn't really miss the g that much .. but then I got a five string and as the band is quite funky having the g for slap is really helpful. I then went through a phase of playing a BEAD bass, a EADG bass and a fiver. My head began to explode so I did just 5 for a while. The pj has standard flats on now and I just got a Mustang which is the opposite of the massive fiver!

Rock Summer Schools for 'Vintage' Musicians ?
cdog replied to RhythmJunky's topic in Theory and Technique
We have rock school UK in Leeds that mostly do 5 day schemes, pkus a gig at a fantastic venue(the wardrobe)for 8-16yr olds in school holidays . They do weekend rock school for adults occasionally too: a couple of my friends just did it, but it's one day of practice in your band then a gig the next day so it's all pretty quick. -
I remembered another one, 2 octave fretboards, it's way too far from the end of the neck where my thumb is to the 1st or 2nd frets.

Painted headstocks and generally large heads, anything heavy or un balanced, and anything active only. I'd struggle to commit to a single pickup too. ... but I love a good sunburst finish.
