Members collinwho Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 I can certainly do very generic one, and most likely will do it poorly . . . but if I get time tonight, I'll give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roguetitan Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 Man I would love to, My DAW Is ready and waiting but I have a bad case of gout in my left middle finger and can barley get my pill bottles open let alone try to do any fretting on a bass. it is so bad we had to cancel this weeks gigs and probably next week also:mad: I am even having trouble typing this. Arthritis sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bnyswonger Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 That's a cinch, but I don't have any easy facility for recording onto computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Perfessor Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yeah but I don't know how to do all that with my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassred Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 How about just the audio file, that way I can import it into my recording software and jam... I'm not sure if I can do that with a quicktime movie format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jannda Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 I can but don't have any way to record it ecept on tape right now. Ask LUG I'm sure he can. WAIT, no don't do that THe suck will be strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ThudMaker Posted December 13, 2007 Moderators Share Posted December 13, 2007 I can. But it's not a strength. I'm not a fan of the blues, so it's not something I've ever felt the need to really master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassred Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 I need a wav file and for some reason I can't convert it....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Bass Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 If you gave it to me in written music or tab I could play it. I don't really understand the theory behind it well enough to make my own walking lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 A walking bass line is possibly the easiest bass part to accomplish, every bassist should be able to do it. sets bass on ground, starts walking on bass I really don't understand people who have a problem with it, unless maybe they are legless or something.

Members Nayland Posted December 14, 2007 Members Share Posted December 14, 2007 Figured I'd contribute something: http://www.vaughn-s.net/basswalk.mp3 I put some substitutions in the last chorus though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Optimus Prime Posted December 14, 2007 Members Share Posted December 14, 2007 I need to learn for jazz band. Right now I either learn the song exactly as it's written, which sucks because I suck at reading music and it take forever. Or I {censored} around during a song, play random notes and hope it sounds OK. At least with a proper bass line I could contribute more to the class.

Members Billystrat Posted December 14, 2007 Members Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'll record a line with those changes. Probably will be somewhat boring, cuz I'm not too flashy, where can I host this? It'll be a good excuse for me to record myself thus forcing me to listen to myself!
