I'm there on sunday. Seems to be a good sound

[quote name='TomKent' timestamp='1340629225' post='1707232'] I did a workshop last time, think it was too far out of the way for people to get to though. I'm happy enough bringing a giant stack and some basses along! [/quote] jam? I'll bring my little MarkBass combo and a Tokai

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1340448165' post='1704533'] Why don't you buy the mag? [/quote] Because i only wanted to read 2 pages. If it make me seem an arsehole I'm sorry. Was just trying to save some money.

Hi guys, would anybody be able to do me a massive favour and scan Stefan Redtenbacher's column in the June issue. Should be the one about chops. It would be a great help and I will eternally grateful Ollie

Aren't the AV fender copies passive whereas the AC's are active? forgot to mention different sourcing and most likely different ageing of woods used.

[quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1340308401' post='1702778'] no one enjoy a bit of J5 then? [/quote] bass playing was good, i just felt the singer copped out of too many high parts and that it was lacking texture, i.e.. Could have done with 3 or 4 B.V's. But thats just minor things that would turn it from a good performance into a great. It's difficult for me because I'm a big MJ fan and the 'This is it' recordings were perfection as far as i'm concerned. You have a fantastic opportunity though to play some great songs on a lengthy tour, a gig I doubt many would turn down.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1340281942' post='1702205'] I reckon this isn't quite true [/quote] Well when your choices are searching for references on google or analysing questionnaire results, its my pick of the two. Although I'll do a few, and then think "I'll just do the rest during the football." Get invited to the pub, watch the game, go out and then wake up the next morning thinking, "damn, still got to do that bloody dissertation."

Hi guys, just collected the results and I can't believe how many of you took part! The answers look nice and varied from a brief glance and I'm looking forward to analysing them over them weekend. Thanks again, your all fantastic

will be doing some in august following my graduation from ACM. I will be based in Market Harborough but could travel for a higher rate.

[quote name='Lewk' timestamp='1340185191' post='1700472'] just having a wonder on how many of us have taken that next step from bieng just a customer. any bad experiences with companys etc? Ive bin with lakland for quite a while now there a bunch of great guys Dan Lakin and the hanson guys after the takeover heres the link for me... [url="http://lakland.com/luke-weston.htm"]http://lakland.com/luke-weston.htm[/url] p.s. this isnt me boasting at all im just very proud of myself to be honest [/quote] nice! [quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1340190758' post='1700612'] I'm not endorsed but it's something I'd love to look into- how does one go about getting an endorsement? [/quote] usually after doing tv work you can apply through dealers or the company direct. [quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1340195086' post='1700749'] So endorsement doesn't mean free then? Unless you are called geddy lee [/quote] Its usually an artist discount. For example Aguilar's is 50% off. Some endorsements are just material costs, and some are free.

last push guys! ending this at midnight

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1340039804' post='1698120'] Done. And don't put an apostrophe in videos again, ok? [/quote] won't do. Cheers silddx

thanks everyone who's participated thus far! Survey monkey counts it as 64 people have done it so i'm going to hold out until wednesday to get a few more

AV 5 PJ in bassgear. Its passive, big sounding, *edit* sososososo old school and had perfect definition across the board.

well it was aways going to be rock biased, its a rock magazine

cheers guys, this has been a great response! Looking forward to analysing the results

on a fretless? It has to be a traditional "f" hole for sure! Bass is in F clef after all.

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1339712667' post='1693348'] Anything. There are archetype and sterotype sounds. But you can sound and play however you want to, regardless of context. [/quote] yhp, use your ears. Fender style basses can be very versatile if you adapt your technique or use other techniques to achieve different tones.

thanks everyone thats helped so far. Keep it coming

As a result you guys are perfect for asking about the market I hope it will only take 5-10 minutes but it will be very useful for my dissertation so huge thanks to anyone who can complete it. I know the questions are a tad tedious in places but unfortunately that's the way we've been told to do it for best results. Hope you enjoy, and thanks in advance, Ollie. Ps. Any criticisms/ discussions on the topic or questions please reply to this post in the usual manner.

Theres a book with fast lines, i think its called fingerfunk. When learning fast tunes start to learn them slow and then build up the speed. Its more important ot get the articulation, phrasing, note length and rhythms right.

[quote name='highwayone' timestamp='1339664744' post='1692095'] bought a pitchblack in the end, a steal off the bay! [/quote] GOD, i paid £50 from andertons. Good choice although i prefered the DT-10 but it got nicked :-(
