Rebecca Julia Brown (school of rock)

[wicked_child]

if you were the producer of the film, what bass would you give to her?

and also, in a website that i saw, there's a bass solo in the film! the director just removed it!

[Jody LeCompte]

I knew there was going to be bitching that there was a guitar, drum, and keys solo and no bass solo.

Well guess what? Bass isn't any cooler, it doesnt sound any better, and it doesnt have any potiential for solos than ANY OTHER ****ING INSTRUMENT IN TH ENTIRE ****ING WORLD!

[naut]

exactly, and the same can be said for all other instruments. which is why many ask...why was there a solo for every other instrument but not bass?

i could care less either way, i just don't understand.

[skingle]

I think a jazz bass would be fine. Also, the key solo at the end of that film is the lamest thing i have ever heard.

Woah there dude, calm down. No one said that. How does thinking their should be a bass solo since every over instrument gets a solo implying you think bass is the best instrument.

Appearantly the solo was cut because it was too muddy, which I can see it being.
It kind of annoys me that the girl in the movie is actually a guitarist.

[Linkinbassist]

I'd giver her an Epi Rivoli bass or a Gibby EB2...

[wicked_child]

this one looks better but it was not the one used in the film: http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5178/25703563764937l4cy.jpg

a les paul bass looks cool too. or a ric. :)

[da_s_man13]

Either a all black Ric or a White P-Bass with Tortoise pickguard.

[blizzard]

Daisy Rock :)

Jeez, it looks huge on her. Image her with a really big bass.

Her legs seems way too long.

[wicked_child]

like the one jean baudin uses? :)

[Akira]

like the one jean baudin uses? :)
Haha, that probably weighs more than she does.

[naut]

Her legs seems way too long.

yeah, bet they'd wrap around ya twice.

[bleeding_fingers]

I'd hit it.

[Akira]

C'mon guys, the guitarists are supposed to be the chauvanists. :thumb:

[naut]

lighten up.

[Akira]

lighten up.
I'm just kidding around. Hence the thumb.

[wicked_child]

Haha, that probably weighs more than she does. hehehe. yeah, or give her a custom bass version of the double neck sg, with an 8/4 neck. :)

[Mr. Pickle]

i heard that this chick was the only one who didn't play the instrument that she played in the film. true?

[Radiobass81]

Like said earlier in the thread, she's a guitarist.

[Mr. Pickle]

ohh, sorry

[Dyslexic Magician]

What bass would I give her?

http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/0/6/3/271063.jpg

she is a girl afterall.

[Saberpunk]

didnt the film end with her playing either a epi gothic Tbird, or a Gibson Blackbird?. The movie was sponsered by gibson, and so most, of the guitars that get signaficant film time were gibson or gibson products. If i had a choice, i would have given her a shortscale of some kind, maybe a Fender Mustang, or epi Eb1.




:edit: on second thought, def the mustang bass, theres too much gibson in that movie:thumb:

[gronk]

Warwick Thumb NT 6 string.

It would of crushed her!

[Led_Zeppelin678]

A red 4001, I think.

I have such a love/hate thing with that movie, though. The cello/bass thing, how they skip out him giving her a cd like the other members of the band, the fact that the bassist has like two lines in the entire film, and of course the lack of a solo at the end (who ever heard of backup vocalists getting solos?) all make me furious. But, the general musical message is pretty good, and Jack Black rocks so I don't know whether to love it or hate it.

[Saberpunk]

yeh, i love school of rock, its about the only movie i watched, then immediately watched again, then two days later watched about 4 times in a row. heh, if they had given the bass girl more stuff, that would rank as my favorite rock movie ever.

Almost Famous > Everything

noooo,

Airheads>Spinal Tap>Almost Famous>everything else>Garage days

[Led_Zeppelin678]

Okay, maybe Spinal Tap, but Airheads?!?!? Surely you jest?

[Saberpunk]

yes, actually i do ^_^ although i did find airheads quite an entertaining movie...

[cAPS_lOCK]

It's a 30.5'' scale, and it still looks to big on her.

[Chris K]

She needs a Kubicki.

Everyone does.

[Jamie]

I wonder what our female bassists from the forum would think of that? :p :smash:


"Cellooooo, you've got a bass!" oh how I hate that comment!

[mikethecoug]

That film is rather cringworthy at some points.

[peeted]

nice black fender jazz. its like the standard bass these days. or a huge colkin billdickins/jean baudin style erb made out of some stupidley heavy dense wood just because she wouldnt be able to stand.

[Chris K]

It's worth watching.

By that logic she should have John Turner's Double Neck.

Yahh don't get me wrong I watch it alot but it can get annoying in some parts.

Well I wouldn't say it's worth watching "alot".

Maybe once.

wow, your so right, ive got a whole bunch of movies set aside for these occasions, icluding school of rock, die hard trilogy, army of darkness, and other assorted awesome films

[Led_Zeppelin678]

army of darkness

Bruce Campbell ftw

[funkyhoney]

Bruce Campbell ftw
**** yeah!! finally someone who agrees with me :thumb: good work

[Led_Zeppelin678]

**** yeah!! finally someone who agrees with me :thumb: good work

Have you seen the other two? The first one is really one of the greatest low-budget films of all time! (not to mention Sam Raimi's directing debut)

[funkyhoney]

yeah man, ive got the whole trilogy, love that stuff, Bruce Campbell is a legend, however australians rarely know who he is :angry:
you're also a Sam Raimi buff?
my friend and i were jsut marvelling the other day, at the fact that the guy who directed Evil Dead, has now moved onto directing the most expensive film ever made (spider-man 3 (rumoured))

[Led_Zeppelin678]

As much as I love Evil Dead, my favorite low-budget/indie flick ever is Vincent Gallo's Buffalo '66. I don't think I've met another person that's even heard of it before, except my brother who introduced me to it. If you can get ahold of it, I highly recommend watching it.

sweet as, ill look into it :thumb:
anyway, i gotta head off for the night

[14nothing]

I enjoyed the movie only for all the equipment in it. Oh, and I would've stuffed a white Jbass with atortoise shell scrathguard in her little arms. soooo hot... (the bass, that is)

[Rollo47]

You're a Flea fan, right?

[PaulR]

http://www.bassgirls.com/

A search on her led me to this site.

Go forth you horny bastards!

[Akira]

I love that movie, but it can get a little annoying at parts. Luckily, the annoying parts are outweighed by the fact that they actually did play good music and so it was overall a good message. I could have seen them making the title track some really stupid cheesey pop song.

[katana_manatee]

It is a cool film but it does tend to lean towards the bass isn't cool stereotype but glorifies practically everything else. I was annoyed at the lack of bass solo due to the fact everyone else got a solo, and what kind of message does that give?

Still, great film apart from that, I only saw it once in the cinema but I might watch it again someday. I'm not a person that watches the same film again and again within a short period of time, I generally watch a film and don't watch it again for over a year at least. I need to forget some of it to enjoy it again.

I remember I went to see Queen of the Damned years ago when it first came out and I loved it at the time, then a few weeks after I first saw it, I saw it again and I was bored throughout most of it. Bah.

[Radiobass81]

I don't mind the lack of bass solo. Rather not having one than having a horrible muddy one by which we will be judged for years, I say.

Besides, it's not even that good of a movie.

I'd give her a black Wal, then think about what I was doing and take it for myself.

[Left Shoe]

wasnt it steve harris who said hed rather make his playing in the rest of his song impressive than to just do a solo

[katana_manatee]

Said by many a bassist I think.

I am just a little annoyed at the fact everyone but the bassist got a solo in the film, it kinda makes bass out to be boring, which a lot of people think. I think the excuse of it sounding muddy is a load of balls, they could easily have played around with the EQ of the bass track, not hard at all, instead they leave it out. Just shows the attitude to it if you ask me.

[ebe9]

Conklin GT7

Fot Sh1ts and giggles

[Left Shoe]

well i mean...let them be wrong, people who want to play bass genuinely enough will not let one movie make their decision for them

[Damrod]

Exactly. Think of it that way: If they think they suck, it's easier to impress with simple things :thumb:

ahhhh vince gallo...

gratuitous, explicit, un-simulated oral sex scenes...

ahhh... good times.

[Chris K]

Whats wrong with a bit of both?

[Lovefist]

If you guys care the drummer of the film goes to school in my area and from what I gathered by seeing him play live at parties, playing shows with him, and talking to him (he was in a band called third estate with the brother of my current drummer) Kevin was an *** and a ****ty drummer. I know this was totally random but the majority of the film is just a studio group and the kids dont even play their **** (other then the singers and the piano player)

[irishslappop]

lol she plays smoke on the water wrong in the movie.
