Something that feels comfy and has an aesthetic you like is the best place to start, as you need to want to pick it up and play it.

Cant go wrong with Blondie.. some stella tunes going on. I think the very first tune I played live was Deni Deni back in 78. Our girl singer was mad....Fishnets, a loose open shirt and... umm that was it I think....haha. Grt days.

Thank you, Beedster! Lots of fond memories from those days, most of which was managing The Bass Centre in L.A. We certainly enjoyed the "London/Los Angeles" tag line which contributed to both stores being the hub of all things bass at the time for all levels of bass players, not just celebrities. I'm so grateful that I met Alan Morgan early in 1985 when he moved to the U.S., and had the opportunity to work with him for 8 years. It was an honor to be associated with Fred Friedlein, Barry Moorhouse, Rob Green, Mark Gooday, Trevor Cash and dozens of others over the years. Good times indeed.😀

Aka Dee Dee King I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the only rapping he had ever heard before recording as Dee Dee King was the Two Ronnies 'Pink Rupee Rap' -
Norwich and Norfolk Music Scene - Advice Please.
Blue_floyd20 replied to thebrig's topic in General Discussion
Late to the party, but I'm from Norwich and there is more than enough to keep you busy if you're looking to play in a band or watch. Norfolk Blues Society jam nights at the Brickmakers in Norwich or Dereham would be a good place to start to meet other musicians, there are also other open mic events. Speak to the guys at Earth Studios in Norwich, they know bands looking for players (and who's worth bothering with!). You'll probably end up rehearsing there as there aren't many choices for rehearsal spaces, unless you have your own. Norfolk is a lovely place to live, but you can end up with 1 hour drives to most gigs given the scattering of major towns. Wymondham has a couple of venues, the ex-services club being the one to play on the right night (it's a big place to fill on the wrong night). Like most of the country, the pubs are getting hit pretty hard around here, so unless you're dirt cheap, or guaranteed to bring in a crowd it can be tricky getting your foot in the door. -

They were incredibly lucky that when someone left they always had a family member who could step into the role. -
Difference in volume 8ohms vs 4ohms
Bill Fitzmaurice replied to BassAdder60's topic in Amps and Cabs
Back in the days of yore I had a 50 watt Bassman. I then upgraded to a 100 watt Dual Showman head. I couldn't tell any difference in the volume. Twas puzzlement until I took my first course in Electrical Engineering and found out that they had the almost the same voltage swing capability, all the second pair of output tubes really provided was additional current capacity, which didn't give more volume. -
Thanks!! I’m trying to start up a business one day doing setups and mods so doing lots of practice on my own and friends instruments. Pretty pleased with this one!

I love this thing. The only reason I’m listing this is because I’d like to get the newest version. That is a lot more expensive so I need to recoup some funds towards it, otherwise I’d keep this too and use on a second board. In excellent condition, with a few cosmetic marks as pictured. No original box, power supply or MIDI breakout cable though (which is how it came to me). Will of course be packaged securely for postage.-

You always have the best stuff man!!! -
An excellent 6/12-stage phaser, being a clone of the revered Moogerfooger 103. I’ve just received a brand new exemplar from Andertons today as a replacement for one I bought a few months ago that had a loose connection. I’m on a drive to raise money due to unemployment so don’t even want to put this on my board. As yet I haven’t even opened it. I’m happy to leave it unopened or to open to test and photograph for the buyer (once payment is received) if desired. Price includes recorded UK postage. Stock photo for illustrative purposes.-

30+ is not too old for a band is it? Is it?

Although the P bass sound is ubiquitous, you should try for yourself and see what suits you best. It is a good place to start though.

Not Like Everybody Else, the Damned’s album of affectionate 60s covers honouring the late Brian James. Tracks as per photo, and there’s some stirring renditions including one you may not be familiar with - You Must Be A Witch by the Lollipop Shoppe. This can be posted to your door (UK) for a reasonable £16. Celebrate the band’s half-century in true punk style - on sealed, unplayed vinyl! -
Hi all Does anyone use a large car/SUV for transporting 18 inch subs? I'm upgrading my current system to 18 inch subs (2) and 15 inch tops (2). I'm wondering does anyone transport a similar rig in a regular car, before I think about buying a van also. I'd like to have one vehicle only for obvious reasons. Make and model not important. Pics also a bonus if you have them! TIA Danny

Just found a deadspot on my Dingwall. I am annoyed.
kwmlondon replied to kwmlondon's topic in Bass Guitars
I mean, it may end up being less of an issue after a setup and a change of strings - won't go away but could be less noticable. These Dragonskins+ seem to be very high tension. I could try putting the old set on to see - I keep the previous set and shove in my gig bag in case of a breakage. Handy to have a precut set to hand. -

I know. It's just that I do anchor myself on that part of the fretboard and now I've heard that the C doesn't sustain it niggles me! I think I can mititgate it a bit though so will report on next steps.
