  1. Past hour
  2. that's the numbers i recall
  3. The lyric went down a path and I was useless to resist 😂
  4. These were given to me for free but aren't really my music so I'm passing them on for free. They are all complete though the RHCP cover is a little creased. Would much prefer to send them all as one lot to somebody but suspect that's not going to happen. I'll send each of them for P&P costs which is probably £3 or so each. You are of course welcome to collect for nowt, from Clapham, North Yorkshire, and I'll even make you a decent coffee or brew of tea.
  5. ...no disrespect intended — I have been known to use a music stand & bits of paper
  6. Would consider trade against a Jad Freer Capo but really I could do with the cash.
  7. Bit worried about the Splintered Testicle chorus! And on fire!!! Do we have a wince emoji? 😧
  8. Not a bad night last night and local to me, though sadly a bit quiet with an Oasis tribute a couple of hundred yards one way and another band down the road the other. Landlady apologetic but happy as she said she still took plenty of money over the bar. “We love having you here, you’re so professional” So we were playing to a small select bunch, but they were all enjoying themselves and singing along. Band was tight and the sound really good. Loads of compliments from those that were there which was nice. Used the usual rig of: FrankenJazz, Helix Effects, Darkglass Microtubes, BF BigBaby2. Shoes comfortable barefoot. As there was potentially a bit more space than usual I took the bigger pedalboard but the Palmer wall wart that I had at rehearsal on Monday wasn’t in my leads bag so reverted to the Helix. 😡 Must have a search for that or order a spare.
  9. Cold Cold Ground - Tom Waits
  10. Out In The Cold - Judas Priest
  11. Someone please buy this bass. You’re getting a hell of a lot for not much money.
  12. Yep it's 2 Cort Spaces. Not tried the Sire.
  13. I would consider a trade for a small combo 👍
  14. I’m off to see Headsticks in about 3hours I’ll say hello to @cheddatom

  16. I was going to suggest the Sound on Sound forums, but I see you have already asked the question there! 😀
  17. Backm from hols and I attend a workshop yesterday run by a local music charity (Drum and Brass) aimed at getting more people of all ages involved in music making. We were asked to bring instruments along (I took a tenor sax) and the session was about conducting. Groups and ensembles of all kinds need conductors and without them groups either don't happen or fold... so this is aimed at getting people started on that road. I have ended up having to conduct at times, e.g. the conductor is stuck in traffic, or is ill. Some of the session was about organisation/admin such as rehearsal room layout, repertoire selection, rehearsal planning, etc. I think following yesterday I am going to be asked to help out with one group... I will report more in due course.
  18. I've joined the 21st Century and got a tablet (Samsung Galaxy A9+) for my dots. Can you folks reccomend a decent, sturdy, fold-up-able tablet stand? Ta!
  19. This might win the award for least helpful reply in a thread resurrection 😂 7 months later and this is what he got.
  20. Thankfully memorised. Took a bit to comfortably change keys. Analysing each note in a bar really helped so that, in the new key, I wasn’t relying on the same shape to make it work. Different fingerings to a point - playing them in different octaves for now, but I still plan to go through them again starting on a different finger, two strings only, one string only. The different examples of ‘Bye Bye Blackbird’, etc are making much more sense now - I’m hearing the chord against the chord tones, and hearing how the exercise becomes a choice in what to play. So next up are the five sample bass lines starting on page 21. The plan is to play slowly and hear how the line and the examples work against the chord. My goal is to internalise this to the point of seeing/hearing a chord and not defaulting to R-3-5-7 in a panic! What are you working on Rob?
  21. Today
  22. So my new rickenbacker 4003s bridge doesn't have any screws, so the briidge pickup is way down in the hole and quiet. I assume being a rickenbacker those screws are some random imperial size that would be tricky to get anywhere or be a custom and expensive order. Any idea what those screws are? these screws (as not shown in the picture!)
  23. No interest in this so far, so now open to trades. What? I've no idea.
  24. Yamaha RBX 800a - I lusted after one of these in the early 90's whilst playing in metal bands at a time where I enjoyed the pointy headstock aesthetic. I found this one a few years ago in its original (albeit tatty) hard case in a magnificent white blizzard pearl. Needless to say it ticks all the boxes looks wise and its sound is pure 80's active rock machine. The pre amp is loud and scooped, it absolutely sings when thumping out 8th notes! I had it serviced about a year ago and its sat in its case ever since waiting for the call from 'Jeff Leppard' or whatever hair metal gig was in store for it. Sadly the call never came and my spandex is offensively tight these days so I think its time to move it on to someone with more hair than me. It does have some obvious signs of wear in line with a 35 year old instrument, some swirling, discoloring and a few dinks, but no major chips. The pics are a little misleading, it’s closer to the middle two shots that are whiter in reality. Not yellow as in the other shots. Demos welcome in north London N21 I don't really want to ship at the moment, but I may change my mind for the right deal?
