Totes amazeballs!

I think if you genuinely understand and love music on all levels i.e emotion, musicology, theory, history, harmony, orchestration, composition etc etc. Then you have to respect Jaco, his music and playing etc. To say you don't like him because he uses Fender is ridiculous, and to say it sounds like a bundle of notes is ignorance.

Totally the wrong place to post this as this is a band with just a guitar and drummer but they make an incredible sound for just two people. It's all live. Loop pedals and triggered samples. Good songs too, not a load of bollocks, screaming and sludge etc [media]http://youtu.be/UcA-wY-AgSo[/media]

Who?

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1374058657' post='2144729'] Absolutely, this is what it's all about. 90% of tone etc is all bollix. So is all the talk and spew that comes out of people's mouths trying to describe what they are hoping to achieve. This is the nerd element of this game and something I have in the past exhausted my self with until I realised that you will only ever achieve good tone when you stop caring. Perfect tone is a myth and a scam generated by people trying to sell us gear and gives us gas. Oh yeah another thing I've learned over the years is that the key to good tone is having volume to spare. [/quote] I can appreciate! i want to have a good sound that fits with the band but i don't need one tone to do it. It's Tone de Jour as far as I'm concerned. Dependant on the room, the life in my strings and what the guitar player. I just plug in and fiddle for a bit til it's reet, i thin i usually have a good sound that fits with what i'm doing but couldn't for the life of me explain it.

Yeah i could do with this too.

Any one else just plug in then turn knobs til it sounds good?!

It doesn't say it's on here. Says live at the apollo.

I really need to learn how to drive!

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1373675883' post='2140588'] We're a blues and rock n roll quartet and we dont play anyting past 1960. [/quote] You can't get many gigs if you don't play past 8pm

[quote name='Ian Savage' timestamp='1373718156' post='2140932'] Is his name George? [/quote] I don't think he wants to make it cry or sing!

Just use the old Muso trick of gettting a bottle of sparkling mineral water and filling it up with Gin and Tonic!

Yeah! any 5 string fretless Lettsbass but every time i get close to getting the money together something pops up to bugger me up!

is it a sheraton? My mates got an epiphone that looks like that. It sounds beaut. As a jazz, or with a bit of distortion it has a really bluesy tone, rhythm and lead.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1373462671' post='2137852'] Kit banned me from wearing them I don't blame her! [/quote] That's disgraceful! The woman is clearly an idiot! The following is what i thought when i saw those trousers! http://youtu.be/UY9QD8vJQic

When is it from? The mid 90's?!

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1373411236' post='2137425'] Darryll's now got mid length hair...the rest seems about right. Ultra humble, and a great lad... in fact, I'm out for a few pints with him tomorrow; I'll ask! [/quote]Nice one! Yeah he was a great lad!

Currently bassist in Asedya...facebook/asedya. Tho we currently have no drummer. and for [url="http://www.rentinconcert.co.uk/"]http://www.rentinconcert.co.uk/[/url]

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1373185253' post='2134361'] Great idea, as per my sig, two bands at present: The Tuesday Club - glam/punk originals (and also includes Basschats very own Transistor Bassman on keyboards) The Daves - punk covers (Pistols/Clash/Ramones etc). [/quote]\Do you do many gigs up north in The Daves?

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1373398485' post='2137191'] Darryll Clarkson - had played with the (now disbanded) Profane and now plays with Cyril Snear. Darryll's been a mate for about 15 years, much more so in the last 3/4 years. You'd probably know him if you've shopped for a bass in Manchester; he currently holds the dubious moniker of having worked in 99% of the guitar shops in Manchester in the last 15 years. He's a great all rounder, and having 'duetted' a few times, I really bow to his prowess. Anyhow, a quick google of either band will show plenty of material. Darryll is well worth checking out - great to see him out playing shows again. [/quote]is he about 30 ish. long hair. did he go to scarborough uni. if so i know him. ask him if he remembers Tom from scarboro and manc. he was always mega dedicated to bass, metal and getting better.

doubt it. It says Infinity on the headstock. My mate's got 7 string gtr by them that is pretty good.

80's great pop bass lines. http://youtu.be/pIgZ7gMze7A

Just won one on Ebay for £23. Don't know anything about them but was gonna buy a DIY bass kit. Then thought I'll just buy a cheap bass. Strip it. Buy better parts and do my own paint job. So there may be a build dairy some. Anyone know much about Infinity anyway?
