All Activity

That`s the very one I`ve been umming & ahhing over

This. Since Covid I've managed to reduce some of my back problems by regular daily workouts. I'm working on all muscle groups, rebuilding muscle mass and strength. Unfortunately, all my good work is being undone by an arthritic hip which doesn't respond to any treatment other than pain killers!

Don't believe everything you read on amazon!

Poah, killer looking bass! Congrats!

I would also suggest doing exercises to improve core strength, especially to build up the muscles supporting the spine. The best way of doing this is to go to a gym and start doing weights (get advice on what exercises to do). I used to have back problems (displaced disk), but have had no issues for many years, not since I started going to the gym!

That 1993 video is the ultimate lineup for me. I got to see them live twice after the 2nd and 3rd albums with Derrick on drums. Although I thought Derrick was really good, I always wished I had seen them with Nick Van Gelder on drums - I wonder why he left so early on - he seems really spot on in this gig. I always thought JK was a bit of a pillock, but absolutely loved the Zender era music they produced. They definitely lost something when he left IMHO.

This thread's about D'addario strings... Update, my ETA has been pulled forward to next Tuesday. It was July/August initially, lol.

I use this technique to brighten dead strings. It really does work and saves £££.

Jamiroquai had a magical swagger about them at that time, both musically and visually. Zender was a massive part of it 👍

There's nothing like them. I have two 'just in case' lol I expect that was a monstrous tone with a cab like that! I owned a 7415 for a while. A proper Wembley stadium cab - you couldn't hear it on stage, but the people at the back of the venue were pressed against the wall with bass pmsl

Auditioned a singer yesterday. He arrived over an hour late, which wasn’t too much of a problem as it allowed us to set up and run some songs ourselves. He didn’t bring so much as a microphone but I had a spare mic and lead and there was a stand in the rehearsal room. He was ok on some stuff. Other material was clearly out of his range (ever tried singing anything by the Sweet?) but on some other songs his response to running out of range was just to sing any note he fancied. Yours truly was attempting to sing harmony so that was interesting! Unsurprisingly, a unanimous NO from the rest of us.

Anyway, Stuart Zender... coolest of cats, supernatural talent so young.

I knew someone would post that the moment I typed it.
