I applied for the Music degree with Bass at ACM and I've had confirmation that I've got an audition in a couple of weeks! EEEEK. It's the day after my birthday as well so no drinking for me lol! I've decided to do Bombtrack by Rage against the machine as my performance piece, but I need to revise my theory as there's other bits I have to do to show my understanding of theory, groove, timing etc. OH GOD.16 points

In my book it’s bad form to join a band with the intention of ousting or complaining about an existing member. So don’t join. At most give that as a reason for not joining, if that member is not the one you're talking to.6 points

A couple of weeks ago Alan sent me some options for how the book matching for the front and back should look, I chose to go with these front and back: Today he sent me these fresh out of the press: Awesome figuring that's so well fitted to the shape of the guitar. I'm proper excited now...6 points

Decline their offer, citing a not too obviously spurious reason ( e.g.,"The old hand trouble is playing up again") Wish them the best for the future Vanish from their view Mop brow Resume search3 points

Sanded the panel down, back to bare metal in places, then re-primed and re-top-coated it. Printed off another set of transfers and managed to apply them to the right parts of the panel, As they started to dry, they started to peel off - it seems that they don't stick to a matt paint finish. Dug out my time-expired dry transfers and applied a simplified set of control legends. They appear to be staying on, and now have two coats of lacquer to help them. Assuming no more problems here, I can start to reassemble it tomorrow. David3 points

Now this is definitely something not to be rushed, whether fitted in between other stuff or not. Cutting the fret slots. I am using a radius block as my positioning guide and to keep the saw blade completely vertical: I use a spatula marked with the tang depth to ensure that the slot is deep enough across its whole length: 6 done and 15 to go. I'll do a few more tomorrow if I get a spare half hour:3 points

Switch to original music and make her voice a feature of what you do. There are lots of great, great bands making great, great music with singers who would be viewed traditionally as "unmusical" 😀3 points

Ear plugs and always remember to never utter ‘man that be-atch can’t sing’ should get you through it. Seriously though, if it grates on you now it will only get worse, I’d say walk now and be fair to them in getting another bassist in time for gigging when we’re allowed out to play.3 points

Good evening, Bruce, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. A tale of woe indeed; commiserations. It won't help you much to know that I'm in a similar state (minus the head injury...), and still play bass, drums, keys and guitar, mostly for my own pleasure, but occasionally when our group is invited to perform for a local event. I'm drifting towards 71 next birthday, and it's very unlikely that all the gear collected over more than half a century get used in public in earnest. The increasing deafness, and associated increasing tinnitus is being partially compensated for by becoming more blasé about it all. I still remember my favourite music (Schubert, Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, Bruckner, Bowie etc...), so I've had a good run. My gear is 'old school', so will be worth more in another century or so as collector stuff, being very much out of fashion, but as I never acquired any of it with a view to invest, I care not a jot. I have the space to keep it all, and a room to play it when I want, so... Gardening is very much over-rated as a retirement occupation, too, I've found. Keen, for decades, but unable now to dig more than a metre or two, obliged to do weeding lying down, relying on a (very excellent...) chum for mowing etc... I keep it to the most simple expression (see the 'Gardening' section here; there are several others doing their best...). What else can you do..? Exactly that : do your best, as do we all..! Life gives you lemons..? Make lemonade..! Set low targets and goals and you'll not disappoint yourself; in fact you'll be surprised how often you exceed them..! Chin up and soldier on.

Picked it up today. Truss rod works, but contra: Lefty tighty righty loosy. Neck is awesome. Stringspacing tighter then the Yam. Strings on it are at least a decade old though... A new pack of Fodera strings arrives on wednesday.3 points

Picked up this Thunder 1A a couple of months ago from @geoff90guitar . Could see it was fundamentally a solid instrument that just needed a bit of fettling. Had a neck shim in which wasn’t actually needed so that came out, & there was a stuck solid pick up screw that my local guitar shop (Kempsters) sorted for me. Other than that, just a load of elbow grease on all parts. It’s 39 years old with some just right minimal mojo - very pleased with the end result! 🙂3 points

Warwick LX 6 with Bartolini Pickups made in Germany 1996 The Bass is in good condition. Just some minor scratches and not much of fret wear. Good Sound and nice to play. I replaced the original MEC EQ with a Glockenklang 2 Band EQ because the MEC made some horrible noise. I ordered a replacement part for the preamp and i send it with the bass. The Bass is located in Hamburg/Germany. Shipping is possible (...of course!)2 points -
Price now reduced to £1,050. 2001 Stingray 5 in excellent condition with a weight of 9lb 12oz according to our kitchen scales. There are two small dings which I've included in the photos - one just inside the bridge and the other which is top front middle. Recently professionally set up with new round wounds (would need to try and check model of strings) that still have plenty of life in them. A vintage style hard case (not original) is included within the price and is fully functional. Happy to meet up within an hour's drive or collection from Long Ashton which is just outside Bristol. Also open to posting within its case and would be well bubble wrapped and boxed up. Thanks for looking2 points -

Constant pedal buying and selling was why I went back to a multi a few years back with the Boss and then "upgraded" to the Helix Stomp. I bought and sold pedals all the time to try to find the right sound but also had to battle interference issues, pedal board space, more links in the chain for things to go wrong. Then when I got a good quality bass multi I realised that most of the effects were there for small parts of individual songs and really it was good solid bass tones, and by that I mean amp and cab and EQ sounds, that made it for me. Review how you use effects to see if one of these is worth it for you. Even when I was in love with my Boss multi I'd still do some rehearsals and even gigs without any pedals at all in the chain because my covers band didn't need it as much as it needed a big solid bass tone.2 points

This.....and record yourself on your phone whilst you do it. I did NOT like recording myself at all but found that whilst I was playing I "felt" my timing was ok but when I came back to watch it there were some areas that were a bit looser than I remembered! 🤣 It allowed me to focus on those bit's and get them much better and pretty quickly.2 points

You're correct about the EMGs. It's surprising about them, because you'd think they'd be harsh and clinical and not at all vintage sounding (whatever that means) but here is Bobby, along with Guy Pratt and Dave Gilmour, proving that that is not the case. Love this...2 points

A paint brush used by DaVinci would be worth more yes. If it was used to paint a know picture even more so. If DaVinci had a time machine and scribbled on the paint by numbers set it would be worth more than your house. People collect stuff and have a fascination with fame and history that’s it really.2 points

Here's the regular music video: The guy plays an Ibanez RG guitar here, and it can actually be heard in this version too . They toned it down a bit for Eurovision, I guess to make it less industrial and metal and more appealing to a broader audience.2 points

Tonnes of fav's....... drums on 'fool in the rain' - saying that, you could say that about every Zep song to be fair, but I love the groove. BBC Sessions is great and I spent a lot of my youth trying to play like JPJ with that album on repeat! Ramble On is a fav, as is Custard pie, The Wanton Song, Thank You, The Rover, Heartbreaker.....I could go on.......... This thread is great as it's made me re visit lots of music I haven't listened to in ages so thanks!2 points
