Over the past 10 years or so I've created around 200 charts (revised figure) for my covers band in a simple format which is easy to use for the whole band. The charts just show the chords and song structure and are particularly useful when learning new songs. Minimises disagreements about who's getting it wrong lol! Sample attached below, all songs are in this simple one page format. Too many songs in the archive to list here but suffice to say largely wedding/function band material. If free access to these charts would be of interest to anyone please drop me a pm and, if there's enough interest, I'll explore ways to make them available to download somehow. Also, if there are any particular songs you'd like charts for just let me know. I'm recently retired and have some time on my hands Chords-This Will Be.doc4 points

I'm talking to ikay at the moment about potentially hosting these as a page on BC, indexed and with a 'requests' area. Should be useful!!3 points

One of my students was 80 in September. He's actually out of all my students the most dedicated. We're currently doing chord melody jazz stuff. He saw me showing off a few weeks ago, and wanted to learn how to do it. He's also getting a 5 string after Christmas. You're never too old.2 points

Hello guys, I’m selling this piece of beauty. Warwick build this bass specially for me under my specification. It’s a unique bass with a powerful sound and has performed great at higher pro levels. Here you can watch a video-demo that I arranged for it so you can check her capabilities. It’s a very versatile bass and by the way, it’s a gorgeous finish!!! It has an scratch on the side because of the screws of the strap (see the pic), otherwise is perfect. I later installed an Aguilar OBP-2 preamp and EMG active pickups, a combination that I like a lot and that suits this bass perfectly. In this link you can check the specifications that Warwick used to build this bass: http://www.warwick.de/en/Warwick---Products--Instruments--Customshop---Masterbuilt--Basic-Bass-Models--Streamer--Streamer-Stage-I--Streamer-Stage-I-4-String--Streamer-Stage-I---14-2734--4-string--Pictures.html I told the guys on the Custom Shop to build after this customizations: * Ying-Yang inlays * D-Tuner * P style inverted pickups (as an a regular P bass, more room for slap pluck) * Ocean Blue Oil Finish In this video I play it, and besides it’s a “fake live”, the bass on the audio track is exactly this. In fact, I recorded several of the Powafunk album tracks with her. The instrument is located in Barcelona. Price doesn’t include shipping. The price of this bass is unbeatable and right now I'm not thinking on trading it, unless someone consider trading a USA MTD 535-24 plus money from my side. Payment through PayPal or cash if I meet you in person. Thanks and see you around!1 point -
I want one. I don’t need one, but want one. Norman’s review is limited. However he’s playing does the job.1 point

Hi guys, i've recently moved from the OC-2 for solo effect to a Electro Harmonix POG and it cuts through very nicely! here is a clip: Anyone else using these for bass solo purposes? Regards, Bill.1 point

I remember that shop and it was nothing special which I was hoping it was. The bass that I stupidly,foolishly passed on back in 1997/98 was a, 1978 Fender Precision in black & maple for £350 what an idiot I was. It was in this little shop where I used to live (long since closed) & I'm sure they didn't know what they had.1 point

As above. Entertaining 90 mins. I do love a bit of fretwank though.1 point

Whenever I see it mentioned I (perhaps mistakenly) just presume they mean the preshape and that’s what I always have in mind. A slightly clipped mid cut sound. I completely agree many amps can provide this - Eden and SWR have a mid cut control, Ashdown have a very similar preshape etc etc - but for some reason the “Trace sound” is the one which sticks in mind! I’m only speaking for myself of course1 point

Not as long as you ensure the speaker jack is properly plugged in before powering it up and don't disconnect it before powering down.1 point

Expanding upon dlloyd's post above, here are some very useful voicings for diatonic seventh chords. I've presented them here in the key of C major but they are movable shapes so you can transpose to any key.1 point

May I try and outdo your own extension of your own analogy? I might suggest that it's more like saying, "you had all those shades of green in your paintbox. Why did you paint the entire forest in neon green?"1 point

I loved the JJ Burnel sound, and his bass on the Stranglers first album "Rattus Norvegicus" was what first made me listen to the bass guitar So that's my contribution - not necessarily my fave album these days, but it's what got me into bass1 point

You may well be right. He's a very happy boy despite his chronic arthritis and perpetual waxy ears. We actually went to see a 2 year old Lab called Ben with the intention of giving Posie a lively playmate, but he was so excitable (2 year old Labs tend to be) that we declined him. The staff walked us past our Ben and he just walked over to us wagging his tail and smiling at us. He's given us so much joy and love that we wouldn't hesitate to take an older dog again. He's cost us a small fortune in vet bills (thanks to a pink torpedo-up on the insurance) but we wouldn't change a thing.1 point

ambient, he's probably the most dedicated because he recently gave up chasing women and has more time on his hands1 point

I'd say that when you get to the top side of 120 then it's probably wise to invest in a wide strap to help you carry the weight on your shoulders....1 point

Thin speaker cables are far better. Instrument cables are fatter cables because of the insulation and shielding for noise, all of which are irrelevant for speakers, the conductors in and instrument cable are very fine for flexibility and not designed to take any power. Speaker cables are just a lot of copper and a very small amount of insulation1 point

Just finished shielding the bass this morning and buzz all gone whether I’m touching the strings or not, that’s a lesson for me, shielding not grounding!!1 point

I'll say if you consider songs filler just replace them with better songs! I've had this conversation in bands before...if you're deciding the set then there should be no filler. Compromising to accommodate all members ....that's different. First rule of a great cover band: No filler, all killer! Be good band name that too though its always so objective1 point

I can confirm, this bass sounds great! Thanks Brian!1 point

Never realised this topic was going to be such a hot potato Anyway, ordered a speakon to quarter cable from OBBM and it arrived in next to no time and top quality as always. Can thoroughly recommend him to anyone. Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons though I was reading through the quick start guide that came with my Ampeg PF-500 and here's a curious thing for you. The Ampeg has both a speakon and a quarter jack input on it. In the hook up diagrams they recommend the standard set up should be speakon to speakon and also daisy-chaining using speakon as well. But they also show the possibility of a parallel setup with speakon to speakon connecting the first cab and quarter jack to quarter jack connecting the second cab. Now I'm guessing that with two cabs connected they feel the load to the second cab will be low enough to get away with quarter jack connections but surely if it is such a no-no Ampeg should have put two speakons on the amp instead of a speakon and a quarter?1 point

You should always list ALL songs, cover or not. After all, the writer of the song you covered is entitled to their share. I'm sure you'd appreciate someone listing your songs should they cover them1 point

Yes. Gator do a 3u shallow rack - http://gatorcases.com/products/racks-portable/molded-racks/grc-shallow-molded-racks/3u-audio-rack-shallow-gr-3s/. I use one. It's about 315mm front to back without the lids attached, so will take gear up to around 340mm deep. One thing I find worth doing is to use support for the amp, so the weight isn't all taken by the front plate. Something like this - http://cpc.farnell.com/pulse/rksu-1u/rack-shelf-universal-1u/dp/DP32725 (you want one without a lip at the rear) - attached to the rack strip at the back of the case helps spread the load. The rear of the amp can just rest on it.1 point

Because it was an early Czech Euro4 (NOT an LX) with the maple wings and full-on carved body, Tonepump preamp, EMG P/J pups and it sounded absolutely out of this world. Plus, I think I paid £650 for it. Had I known how much they were going to shoot up in price I'd have kept it, of course. Hindsight...1 point
