Casual 35 - Bass is Pretty Neat

[Left Shoe]

scheeit im not sure if im on the jazz mailling list

[Jody LeCompte]

I didn't download to much off the jazz list this past time. I wanted all of it but I wasn't about to fight Megaupload for 10 albums. So I grabbed Joe Pass, which is absolutely brilliant btw, and the Jonas Hellorg.

[Jody LeCompte]

My keyboard is wigging out on me. If the battery dies, I'ma be pissed

[AlmightyPancake]

U.S. is gettin crushed.

[Jody LeCompte]

Man, that was weird.

The receiver for the keyboard was behind an aluminum can and didn't want to work.

[Left Shoe]

see, you killed the casual because you didnt send me hellborg yet

[Kilalues Guises]

that jonus hellborg ablum sucks ***.

[Left Shoe]

send it to me?

[Jody LeCompte]

I liked his cover of Little Wing.

Phil, my downloading files are only at 66%,

[BullDoG_37]

still at work... still bored...

[Polyamarous]

Man, that was weird.

The receiver for the keyboard was behind an aluminum can and didn't want to work.

And how is that weird?

[Jody LeCompte]

Josh, your real picky, huh?

EDIT: Because my computer monitor is ALWAYS surrounded by 20-30 empty coke cans / empty bottles of starbucks coffee... It's never been a problem before

[rh15951]

So I just watched a Lightning Bolt live vid, haha that guys cabs take a ****in beating

his tone sucks, and there is no since of music on the entire albume

[Jody LeCompte]

Can you recomend some stuff for me to download?

[lemoley]

[Jimbobntnr]

[Jody LeCompte]

Lemoley: :D

Hows the band going?

[lemoley]

oh really good man thanks, this Summer were playing 3 really big festivals (well for a band of our popularity big) and this american radio station is going to be playing our stuff

yours?

[Jody LeCompte]

I still haven't been in a band thats practiced more than once. Kind of annoying.

Im doing alot of solo stuff though. Me on acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, and varous hand percussion.

[Polyamarous]

I think I just scored a support slot at the Great Hall........................

[willibassist]

hey guys. any of you lot listened to "towers of london"s new album. its really good.

[lemoley]

awesome man, that sounds really cool

sorry to hear about your band situation though (or should i say lack of one)

[lemoley]

I think I just scored a support slot at the Great Hall........................
great albert hall?

[lemoley]

hey guys. any of you lot listened to "towers of london"s new album. its really good.
lol i think they suck :lol:

[Polyamarous]

Hahaha I wish, the Great Hall ebing the university where the more famous of bands play if they come down here.

[lemoley]

wow thats stiil cool man, congrats :thumb:

[willibassist]

lol i think they suck :lol:

how do they :lol:

listen to "how rude she was" and "**** it up" and others that i cant remember names of. theyre not most talented band in the world but they sure as hell can bang out a good tune with style

[lemoley]

meh, to me they seem to be trying to hard to be 'punk' and they sound like the sex pistols - another band i dispise

[BullDoG_37]

question...

if i finish work at 6:30 am, get home at 7am and have a drink, am i considered an alcoholic because it's before noon?? or is it okay because it is sort of night time for me as i am finishing work??

:chug:

[lemoley]

its fine in my eyes, you have been at work - you need it ;)

[Polyamarous]

Nah, drinking white light for breakfast, THAT would be alcoholism.

[Jody LeCompte]

Well, I think my bass playing is mostly to blame. Way back in the day I worried too much about when I was going to learn various things(like being able to tap well enough to play moonlight sonata) when I should have been practicing the fundementals of playing bass.

I'm catching up on lost time now.

Holy sh*t thats cool!

Holy sh*t you Americans are sad! :p

[lemoley]

that is amazing

[Jody LeCompte]

I'm also going back to four strings for some time. Six strings are just distracting me, I've gotten way too into my extended range and how useful it is when Im not using all 4 of my basic strings.

I'm going to wait until I can "Make a 4 string seem huge"(george smed said that) before I go back to playing sixers.

[lemoley]

define "huge"

[BullDoG_37]

Holy sh*t thats cool!

Holy sh*t you Americans are sad! :p


She had WAY too much spare tim on her hands

[Jody LeCompte]

define "huge"
Think about people like George Smed or Stu Hamm. Peices like Love Thang or George's rendition of Wonderful tonight don't need six strings. They can be perfectly complete, an entire sound, off 4 strings. So if they played a six, it'd be...godly.

[lemoley]

ahh i see ;)

[Teh Glees0rz]

Stupid question guys... I've got a video open in Windows Media Player, but the site I got it from doesn't have a link to save the video, so how would I go about doing it?

[Jody LeCompte]

Basically, I just want to re-learn alot of what I neglected before and move through basses in a natural progression.

Who learns to play on a six?

[Jody LeCompte]

File -> save?

=/

[Radiobass81]

. So if they played a six, it'd be...godly.
Or horrible.

Most players with 6-strings overplay too much, especially solois.

The whole essence of Love Thing would be replaced with too much notes where silence should've been.

There's a reason why Wooten doesn't use six-strings anymore.

But, that's just in general.

[Teh Glees0rz]

File -> save?

*feels PWND* Thanks Jody. :D

[lemoley]

oh man if i knew it had been that simple i would have said something, sorry man

[Jody LeCompte]

No Problem:

Jorge: As of right now, Im planning to go back to six strings but it depends on how well I take to four. I've never played four before...

[pukeboy66]

No Problem:

Jorge: As of right now, Im planning to go back to six strings

what the **** bitch?

[Jody LeCompte]

I told you doug.

Im getting a four string, buying my guitars, and then getting another sixer.

[pukeboy66]

ah, i misread that as you getting another six

*remembers you dancing to your freedom*

[Jody LeCompte]

Yes.

I think this is best for my playing, honestly.

I mean I played that Reggie and I just had fun I havent had playing bass in a while.

[lemoley]

well im off

see ya

Hi.

Oops. :p

In spite of that tragic fact, how are you? Sorry I didn't go to your gig yesterday; I was nackered from the party I went to the night before. :lol:

[PaulR]

Oops. :p

In spite of that tragic fact, how are you? Sorry I didn't go to your gig yesterday; I was nackered from the party I went to the night before. :lol:
No worries, it was very, very empty, what with Download and exams the next day. I had C3.

It was a bit of a disaster.

How'd things go with that girl?

[FunkMetalBass]

i dont overplay you whore

Same.

It allows me to play a wider range of notes in Jazz band without switching positions. If I get bored, I can play octaved notes easier.

More notes readily available to me when I tap.

Higher chords.

I suck too much to overplay :p

[Teh Glees0rz]

No worries, it was very, very empty, what with Download and exams the next day. I had C3.

They didn't. She's a good friend and all, but she's always messing around with other guys.

What made the gig a disaster then?

[rh15951]

Pfft "core" :p

Back in the day of real A-levels we had Pure 1, 2 and 3 (basically the same as core 1-4 but in 3 exams)

[PaulR]

They didn't. She's a good friend and all, but she's always messing around with other guys.

What made the gig a disaster then?
Oh, no, my maths exam was a disaster. :lol:

Fairly confident there was a mistake on the paper as well.

The gig was fine, just not very full.

[Jody LeCompte]

Ok. Ive decided.

The ibanez stays, but the four will be my main bass. Now who wants to buy one kidney and up to 80% of my liver?

Duh... I can't read. :p

Even if I had gone to your gig last night, I'd probably have fallen asleep during it because I didn't get any sleep after the party. I was almost awake for 24 hours. :amaze:

[PaulR]

I'll take it.

I've hardly heard the guy, so I have no knowledge either way.

1) I haven't been around much.
2) I am not always that observant?

I got that album a few days ago.

I can't seem to remember where, though. It was of the mailing lists I think..I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

[FunkMetalBass]

So...were you going to send me money and wanted to know who to make the check out too :eek:?!?!?!

[Teh Glees0rz]

Ahh, excellent.

I might stop staying round people's houses overnight after parties, because then I just feel terrible the next day.

The only reason I stayed there was I couldn't be bothered to leave and she said I could 'crash' there if I wanted, so I just called up my dad and told him. Little did I know that I wouldn't sleep a wink. :lol:

[The Brad]

I was just kind of surprised you actually posted an address, I was anticipating a fake... but it was real. :o

yeah it was on the jazz one. maybe the reason chris never snet us this album would be that we find out hes jocking a bass player who is very boring

[Polyamarous]

Band or disease?

Most likely the disease.

[Thonk]

Personae isn't actually a bad album, though.

I'll YSI it.

[PaulR]

Most likely the disease.
And what makes you say this?

[Polyamarous]

Because he posted his address on the internet, shít like that happens.

You can go to whitepages.com, type a name, any name, and return hundreds of addresses.

I don't see why mine's so special.

Hell, you could have taken my mom's name, set it to Phoenix, AZ, and gone to whitepages.com and found it.

My mom has such an awesome name: Rebel.

Why'd you get such a boring name?

They should have called you "Colt" or "Falcon".

I've listened to Atheist Anthem 6 times on iTunes. The lat time I listened to it was 6/6/06.

It would be more impressive if it was six hundred and sixty-six times, oh and if the song was about Satanism, as opposed to just nonbelief in the existance of a god.

You do realize that you can be Jewish as both a religion AND a nationality.

I am Jewish because some of my ancestors hail from Jerusalem, but I practice Christianity.

[HaVIC5]

Well if you believe Jesus was a messiah, why are you Jewish?
Believing that Jesus was the messaih is a key theological difference between Judaism and Christianity, but by no means the only distinguishing factor between the two. 2000 years of evolving culture and tradition have separate Chrisitians from Jews in more ways than belief in Jesus. Do Christians celebrate Jewish holidays, follow laws of the Talmud or any other of these Jewish observances? No.

Hebrew refers to ethnicity, "Jewish" refers to religion.

[Jamie]

New Rise Against album. Is very very good. Go listen :)

Man, my fingers are killing! I've just played acoustic for about 3 hours.. I'm trying my hand at some new techniques in acoustic, like incorporating percussion on the guitar into chord progressions and fingerpicking :)

I'm not very good on acoustic so it's rather frustrating! I don't like not being "able" on a musical instrument! :p

[FunkMetalBass]

Hebrew refers to ethnicity, "Jewish" refers to religion.

I discussed this with my history teacher. Hebrew means that your ancestors have come from Isreal. Jewish, specifically, is from Jerusalem.

The two however are both acceptable and used interchangably.

It's not the only difference, but it is the key difference. Culture and tradition might be different, and I can see wanting to keep that. But my opinion stands, I think the idea of considering yourself a Jew and believe Jesus is the messiah is dumb. It's picking and choosing what parts of the religion you believe. If you are part of a religion, follow that religion. don't say "oh well I am part of this religion, but I don't believe this main point. I'm just going to pick the parts I like." If you don't agree with a part of a religion, don't follow that religion.

[Akira]

Hebrew refers to ethnicity, "Jewish" refers to religion.
Actually, Jew can refer to nationality as well. But my dad talked to a man who is part of the Jews for Jesus thing, he considers himself Jewish in terms of religion.

I guess you/your history teacher are half-right. It's not Jerusalem-specific, it's the whole region of Judea. But it can reference the ethnicity.

This is where my girlfriend and I debated yesterday. If you believe something and it betters your life and makes you feel complete, then by all means, believe it. If scientology can exist, then personal religions can as well.

I disagree completely with what you are saying. For one, Chrisitians have been doing this whole "pick and choose" thing for 500 years since the Reformation. Martin Luther picked and chose what parts of Christianity he liked and disliked and started Protestantism. Religion is a very personal choice, and calling one's personal spiritual convictions "dumb" just because they don't conform to an extreme of the spectrum is, well, dumb in itself.

I never said Christians don't pick and choose. Many do, and I disagree with it. Religion is indeed very personal, but if you disagree with major teachings of a certain religion it makes much more sense to me to be personally spiritual as opposed to a member of an organized religion.

Now you're just being stubborn. What's the difference between being personally spiritual and being religious? I sincerely doubt every single person agrees with every minute detail of the organized religion they practice, and the way that a congregation of worshipers practices the religion will vary - vary significantly even - from congregation to congregation. I belong to a Presbyterian one who is fairly liberal and interprets the bible metaphorically for advancing an ethical code of conduct whereas other Presbyterian congregations might interpret the bible literally, or follow some tenets implied by the text more closely than others or whatever. The difference in culture between two congregations is enormous and thus personal spiritual conviction is significantly differant, but they are the same religion.

You make organized religion seem infallible. All it is is a structure that is used to govern belief, and that structure is malleable.

[HaVIC5]

The point is that it isn't like Jesus being a messiah is a small difference between the two religions. It's a big difference. Not the only one, but a big one none-the-less. I fail to see the logic in being part or a religion, but not believing in the teachings of that religion.

And please, don't call me stubborn because I disagree with you.

[HaVIC5]

And my point is that the difference between a liberal congregation and a conservative one isn't a small difference either. It's a huge one. Also, you haven't said what is to stop somebody from starting another religion if they are dissatisfied with the current one, going back to Martin Luther, and these Jews for Jesus. Obviously there are a lot of people that follow these faiths.

And quid pro quo for me calling you stubborn for calling my argument "dumb".

[Akira]

Yes it was. Came close to nasties a few times, but we steered away from flaming.

Snoop!

What the? Who the hell invited you!!?? :naughty:

[Killer Fridge]

I was going to say - this religion debate has been going on for, what, 3 days now? Its brilliant!

Anyway, I was bored today so I thought I would try and work out what frequency the Warwick growl comes from. From my results I conclude its approximatly 261.7Hz.

Well, on my Thumb anyway (growls like an utter beast now!)

That is because we are mostly mature on here and can keep it nice.

Don't even bother.

[Ting]

I actually found the sade of the drum forum. Cube

[thelowsoundofbass]

Yes I am, they were in tune with the rest of his kit, but they shouldn't have that little fade out thing that was going on with them. There was almost a resonance frequancy after the main sound. When that happens the tom is slightly out of tune.

Psh, already knew about him.

that could have been structural or PA related as well.

They were probably brand new.

[thelowsoundofbass]

It sounded out of tune to me, 10 seconds with a tuning key could of fixed it if that was the problem. Whatever some people actually like that sound, but it drives me crazy. Anyway I have to go eat supper then destroy some really bad team at soccer.

You could do one of the succes de scandales of the early 20th century like Igor Stavinsky's Rite of Spring or Erik Satie's Parade. Both caused riots after their debuts and were part of the French belle époche, the late 19th century and early 20th century renaissance of bohemian art and culture in France and abroad.

[PaulSimonon]

Hey guys.


Havic, you got any news back from Berklee yet?

[Efrim]

does anyone else in here feel like shooting themselves in the face because of back pain?

[HaVIC5]

Yeah, I didn't get off the waitlist so I've been accepted next semester, Spring 2007. I'm not sure if I want to go then, though, because I've been accepted to the University of Maryland, which has very solid music program and facilities, and I'm going there first semester. I might just continue for the four years because its very cheap for me for in-state tuition, compounded by a 12,000 dollar scholarship I won that I only recieve if I go to school in-state.

[PaulSimonon]

Yup. Riding in cars blows.

[pukeboy66]

im tired :(

That's quite a strong incentive to stay in-state...

it's a shame symphony x isn't discussed more often in here, they have an awesome bass player.

what's your favorite song by them?

mine's either inferno or the divine wings of tragedy.

[irishslappop]

they're good musicians, but they're not cool.

[good rats]

yay school!

[Radiobass81]

I hate saying anything is "cool", let alone a band I don't like, but... :p

Symphony X makes me want to bang my head against a wall. I hate that ****.

so on saturday i bought a new pack of blank cd's, but unfortunately didn't have time to open them until today.

the wrapping around the case went halfway up, so you could just see what appeared to be the top half of the cd stack. but, when i took off the wrapping, this is what i found:

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/5782/s43000140ok.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

a stupid styrophome (sp?) cube pushing them all up, making it appear that there are more than there are actually are.

pisses me off. oh well.

I just about have everything I want as far as basses go :) Just need to get my hipshot xtender and I'm set for a looong time! I'm after saving for a car/a years insurance over the summer. Should hopefully be able to pass my driving test by the end of the summer.

Yeah, see, I got into an accident last September and my insurance is too high for me to drive my own vehicle. So I've got 4 years to worry about that. :p
