Lemon parts, lemon song, whatever.

I was at the mall bookstore checking out magazines last nite.
Two kids are looking through "Guitar for the Cheezy Musician,
with *Transcripts*" or something like that.  One transcript is 
for "The Lemon Song".  Kid 1 says "Lemon Song".  Kid 2 says 
"Isn't that by Def Leppard?"  [sp. - who cares?]  Kid 1: "No, 
it's Led Zepelin." ["]  Kid 2: "Whatever, I always get those 
two mixed up."  I was holding my breath.

True story, I kid you not.  Just thought you might get a kick 
out of it.

I managed to get my very large Rickenbacker cases on a few flights over the
years.  They usually let me put it in the suit-hangin area in the front.  I
had a similiar experience to the other responder, in that I once got the bass
all the way to the door of the plane, then was waylaid by a stewardess (same
'kindergarden' explanation of my sin).  I spent that flight chomping nails,
but at least this way it's the last on/first off the plane thing.  Beware
transferring planes, though!  I think you should:

a) avoid letting anyone see the case until you are just about to board the
plane.  Don't sit around waiting with it obviously, or take it with you
when you first check your bags.  That way you can probably get it right to
the door.

b) look into insurance, just in case.

c) get real drunk.  This actually worked for me once, as I 'bulled' my way
onto the plane right past a simpering stewardess, and by the time they came
to tell me that my case wasn't 'carry-on', it was stowed, and they just kind
of shook their heads.

d) call British Airways and ask.  Don't give 'em details, just kind of
'anonymously' ask about their policy on this.  If anybody's gonna let you
do it, I think they are.  Reputation and all that rot.

e) last resort: buy it a seat.  Expensive, but you will be able to hold your
baby as the plane goes down in flames (just kiddn' ;)

Good luck, I'm sure we're all with you on this one!  Let us know how it works
out.

..and to throw in another possibility...he also used Orange amplifiers.
Saw him play in 197..ahem!! using an array of Orange stacks and a Rick. Sounded
real mean!!
It was around this time that Orange were at there peak vieing with Hiwatt for
the No1 bass rig in the UK for Rickenbakkers. The Orange rig had slightly more
Rick "grunt" (for want of a better word!) than the Hiwatt but the Hiwatt did
a better job with Fender basses. Marshall amps were considered useless for
bass at that time.
As far as I;m aware, Orange never made a bass amp as such, just a general
purpose amp. They looked bizzare with icons on the controls and a large coat
of arms on the front panel!! Of course they were all covered in orange vinyl
material, although the more traditional black was available on special order.

That's right.  For example, the Boss OC-2, which is a guitar effect, actually 
works better on bass, just ask Pino Palladino.  There's also an article in
the most recent BP about a German bassist that plays through a Digitech 
harmonizer, which is generally used for vocals.  I'd like to hear that! :-)

Evan,

What kind of pre-amp?  If tube, how many and what kind?  Does it also have
solid-state?  If so, can you mix the two?  The Nightbass has both, but they
can't be mixed.  The ADA MB-1 also has both and allows them to be combined.
I think the MB-1 has 3 12AX7's or something like that.

Will do!  I had blown off the Quadraverb initially, because it uses 16-bit
technology, rather than 20 or 24-bit.  I've heard great things about their
products and customer service, though.  

One thought occurs to me whenever I start looking at DSP's and that is "How
much effect do I need anyway?"  For the most part, I just use chorus on
frequencies above 400hz.  What about the rest of you?  Which effects do you
use the most, if any?

Currently using an old Oliver "Powerflex" (yes the space-age oone where

that a Singer Sewing machine motor in there?) for both my acoustic and
electric bass. Looking for something more powerful (a head only) but
with tubes - and preferably something old so I might pick up a used one
cheap! Someone called me about an Acoustic 150 that needs some work - he
might sell it for $75.00  Any thoughts on this or other suggestions?

Hi,

Well, I succumbed to peer pressure and bought a 5-string bass during my vacation
here in the US(Fender Jazz+).  The thing is so freakin' beautiful I am afraid to
play it without cotton gloves on.  But the problem is: I have to get it back to
Europe with me.  I have the distinct impression that the hard case is too big
to carry on the plane, implying that I will have to check it.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with taking their axe on jetliners.
Either horror stories or helpful hints on minimizing the damage potential.  I am
pretty sure the case will protect the instrument itself against most damage,
but obviously I'd hate to see the case banged up either.

I am flying British Airways, which I expect will not be the worst for losing
or damaging things, but the only advice they could give was to buy the bass a
seat on the plane (~ = price of bass in the first place, i.e., not an option).


Thanks for any help,

Sorry to bother the group with this, but this is for :

My mail bounced when I tried to send it to him.


How about this:

	When someone requests something I have, I'll post it.  Until then,
either make a request, post some tab yourself, do some other constructive
thing, or keep your unneeded posts off of the net.  Please?  I think posts
such as the ones you made today are completely unnecessary, and tend to piss
people off.  I don't like reading flames, even when they're not directed
at me.  I also tend to think that people who posts notes such as yours don't
have better things to do with their time than annoy other people.  I hope
I'm wrong.

	I would love to post things myself, but having played the guitar for
only 3 years, my musical library is not all that large.  I suppose I could
pilfer the stuff out of GFTPM and other publications, but other people could
do that just as well.  True, I have recently joined a local band, but all
of their stuff is original, and I certainly can't post things like that.
People would wonder where in the world I dug this stuff up from.

	Basically, I'm trying to use the alt.guitar.tab to make myself a bit
of a better player.  I figure once I get an idea of how things work musically
(I have little or no theory background and such), I'll be able to transcribe
my own songs and post them.  At this point, I could post the Outfield's
_Say It Isn't So_ and the Cult's _Wild Flower_, and probably be ridiculed for
posting such elementary songs.  But they're the only ones I've been able to
figure out by myself so far.

	I'm working on becoming a virtuoso, but I'm not there yet, I'm sorry.
I've spoken up and asked for something I need instead of sitting around quietly
waiting for you guitar-wonder gods to deem it time to consider posting 
something interesting.  I'll think twice next time before I do it.

Thought I'd take a stab in the dark and see if anyone has transcribed any
Tom Paxton or Peggy Seeger.  Not only would it make me very happy
it would shatter yet another network personality stereotype of mine :).

In particular does any have music for "I want to be an engineer" or anything
from Peggy Seeger's "Different Therefore Equal" album?

The second question is, can anyone verify that the writer of the
song "You are So Beautiful" is Tom Paxton and that he was the first to
perform an arrangement?  If so, has anyone got it?

Simply chord progressions would be great.

Thanks,
Drew
P.S.: Any of that generation of folk music would be great -- Phil Ochs
      would be particularly great.

  Actually, I could have sworn that JT used a capo at the second fret on this  
one, changing the key to E.  I don't have perfect (absolute) pitch, but I just  
can't seem to hum this song in F... call me crazy.

  BTW... Thanks for all of the JT stuff, Phil!

The Last Thing On My Mind
by Tom Paxton


        G          C             G      C
It's a lesson too late for the learning,
         G   D         G
Made of sand, made of sand.
        G         C               G      C
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning,
         G   D         G
In your hand, in your hand.

            D                  C           G
   Are you going away with no word of farewell?
              C          G           D
   Will there be not a trace left behind?
            G                    C
   Well, I could have loved you better,
           G
   Didn't mean to be unkind;
         D                                 G
   You know that was the last thing on my mind.

You had reasons a-plenty for going,
This I know, this I know.
For the weeds had been steadily growing,
Please don't go, please don't go.

    Are you going away with no word of farewell...

As I walk on, my thoughts keep a-tumbling,
Round and round, round and round.
Underneath my feet the subway's rumbing
Underground, underground.

    Are you going away with no word of farewell...

As I lie on my bed in the morning
Without you, without you,
Every song in my breast dies a-borning
Without you, without you.

    Are you going away with no word of farewell...

Does anyone have tab for "Can't put you down", especially the beginning 
riff?

Thanks in advance
