Nice. I can't think that fast, let alone get any part of my body to move that fast! John | ||

That was very good, drz. Rich Edit: As far as the tone goes, what effects/settings were you using on the solo? The profile says only "many other goodies". (Message edited by richbass939 on September 10, 2005) | ||

That solo was recorded direct using EQ and a bit of chorus. | ||

sounds great Ron....... heard the chorus, picked it right out.. its always a nice effect , subtle yet fattens up things nicely without being over the top. Effects are nice when used in the right spot, and not just for the sake of using an effect. Do I hear a little Sheehan, Coven influence in there ? Bruce | ||

Definetely some Sheehan influence. I studied him a bit in the earlier days of my career. I know this sounds kind of dumb, but, who is "Coven". Maybe I have heard him and just cant place or associate him. I would really like to know. Take care. | ||

Hey DrZ, Randy Coven, I have 2 of his CD's, Funk Me Tender and Sammy Says Ouch also a transcription book, Randy might not be as well known as Sheehan ( to some) , but plays like him, He toured as Yngwie Malmsteen's bassist. Bruce below Moder Dave has posted the link to his site: Thanks Dave ! (Message edited by beelee on October 02, 2005) | ||

Nice solo DRZ. My fingers used to move that fast. It's not my age that slowed me down but the inactivity. | ||

I have been a bit inactive as well lately. I am finding my level of endurance is suffering when I start slacking. I just wish I could find a touring band that rocks so I could maintain consistency. I have looked high and low but cant seem to find. What am I doing wrong? I have no obligations to anyone but myself, I am single, I have killer gear, I play well, no habits, and I am very easy going. What the hell? Anyone have any comforting suggestions? HELP!!!! I'm dyin here. | ||

Hello Ron, fantastic solo!! Great tone and yes I could immediately tell the Sheehan influence as I am a big fan of Billy as well. He is the well rounded bassist that took us all to Saturn! As far as finding competent players/band I don't think you are doing anything wrong, it's just that finding great players willing to commit to a band, sacrifice their home life and tour is becoming a thing of the past. So sad to say but it is something that I'm finding more evident everyday. These younger guys don't know what it means to get out there and push yourselves into success. Success has become something that your most killer musician expects once they enter the live playing venue. The adoring fans should be there, the tour buses, catering, and "what do you mean we have to provide and load in our own P.A?!" Besides, rock and roll has become harder and harder to sell. The die hards don't support it like they use to and these young PUNKS won't spend the money to do so. I will keep you in mind if I find any working bands that need a bassist. It may not be exactly what you want and you may have to relocate but if it is a good situation it will be worth it. Stay in touch, my email is in my profile. | ||

If it's any comfort, I play in two local bands doing guitar and bass, and it's a pain to just keep that going and deal with personality issues, booking, promo, equipment, etc. Good luck! | ||

Sheehan is the ultimate shredder, hands down. I only wish I could lay it down like that. | ||
