    Have you been on the sauce?

    I get that Daryl. When we are playing every weekend or every 2 weeks regularly we don't bother rehearsing but sometimes we can go 4-6wks without a gig and always throw in a 3hr rehearsal the week before the next gig just to refresh things in our head. I can understand that if playing regularly you don't really need to rehearse unless adding new songs. Dave

    Its an odd one but we played a very small bar in Paisley with the Glam covers band and they charged £12 a ticket and sold out. The owner literally closed the bar for an hour to clear out the afternoon drinkers but that was a rare event and we played it twice because we knew the owner thru our punk band that played there regularly. When we played it as the punk band it was free entry. Dave

    Anyone got any advice on where to fit a baritone guitar into the mix at a blues jam? I just bought one and I'm a bit stumped what to do with it. Tuned BEADF#B, it's like a regular guitar but a fourth down. So I could play rhythm if I can remember guitar chord shapes I last played 50 years ago. And transpose the chords, so for a B concert sound I need to finger an E chord, and so on. Or I could play guitar lead, which I've never done before, but the very basics seem to be simple enough according to beginner videos I have watched. Or I could effectively play six string bass but an octave up, at least on the bottom four strings anyway. And six string bass I have recent experience of. Or all three of the above. Thoughts or experience would be appreciated.

    Think the wedding band thing over here is dependant on your bank balance. When we got married 30 yrs ago this Sunday coming we searched for ages to get the right band that had a decent reputation as being good and not daft money. Have to admit i was happy with them. Would i do it again ? Probably not as most people at weddings would be just as happy with a DJ or even just a playlist thru a PA.. Its much the same when you play birthday parties. Most people aren't there to watch the band and would be just as happy with a playlist in the background. Dave

    Hello, Very cool little Boss modeller for sale. Sounds great but I'm just not a modelling guy, I'm admitting defeat. Boxed, also comes with additional Bright Onion switch. £350 delivered please. Would consider trades for bass gear - amps, basses (J flavoured), whatever... In good condition, a few scratches on the bottom as pictured. Album with lots of photos here: https://imgur.com/a/9pniK6g

    I did this for a few years, mainly on the Americana circuit. I then took my Jazz out for a multi-(rock) band all dayer in Sheffield and confused the soundman - he couldn't work put why my bass sounded the way it did! 😸 I think all the other bassists were active 5-string players and I had that setup.

    Not at the moment. Ive recently joined a alt rock band in Langport. We're writing and recording at the moment. Gigs later in the year hopefully. I was in a doom metal band in Devon before. My oldest daughter plays bass for Butane Skies, they're playing in Frome (and everywhere else) pretty regularly.

    Fair point. In which case I hate 5 string bass!

    Joe Osborn’s entire career was based on playing a Jazz with flats (and a pick).

    ***PRICE DROP NOW £1300*** 2010 US Stingray, 2EQ, CAR with rosewood board. One of the limited edition 133 basses, full fat ‘ray but with a soft gig bag case instead of a hard shell job. This is in excellent condition with one very minor ding on the top edge, and the pickguard is quite marked but obviously easily replaceable. Comes with a Hipshot D-tuner (long key though instead of short… doh), if you want the original tuner key I’ll chuck it in. I’ve also replaced the pickup with a Nordstrand MM4.2, which sounds flippin’ great. She’s quite heavy (10lb) but with a decent wide strap it feels ok. ***EDIT*** now comes with the option of a Warwick Rockbass semi-rigid case - photos added. Loathe to post this but can at buyer’s (insured) expense, or can meet in person at either Portsmouth, Southsea, Southampton or Lymington (I’m on the I.O.W.)

    This one has probably already been mentioned. You've been told the band is breaking up. Then you find out the band is still together only your no longer a member. Daryl

    I believe I went on later to clarify my answer once I had a better grasp of how that all worked. It turns out that an OTA compressor like Single Slice and The Watt are a "compressor-sustainer" and not a "compressor-limiter", so there isn't a set gain reduction ratio like there would be on a typical compressor-limiter. OTA compressors don't compress in a linear way like that, so it's not really something you can put a number on. Also glad to see people are excited for the new pedal I'm hoping to have stock built up for it by the end of September. I was originally planning to hold off on announcing it until it was ready to go, but I didn't tell Mike that, and he was excited after gig-testing it (which is always a good sign) and wanted to tell everyone.

    Agreed. When the crowd is into it a lot of other things don't seem to matter. Daryl
  29. Bluewine
    I think the enthusiastic and engaged crowd is a big one for most of us. For me there's nothing worse than playing to a disinterested crowd. Daryl

    I would love a gig like that. Unfortunately I need the supplemental income from gigs Daryl
