Math metal? Tech metal? Why do things need such specific labels!

you say[i] bought[/i]?

If he waits for 1994 to come around again he might actually get what he wants for it

I use a stand to hold the big Galaxy tablet that controls the digital mixer but I put it sideways at the rear of the stage near my amp, does this count or does it need to be in front of me and does it need to have dots on it before people can 'quite rightly' walk out of the gig before the first note is played?

I spend the night looking down bridesmaids cleavages.

Dookie era Greenday, sounds great but I'm not sure it would work for me in my function set.

I once played a 70's Jazz that was just shy of 16lbs , try before you buy and all that! I also gigged a Ricky for a bit on loan, that was the lightest bass I have ever known but it wanted to tip up all night giving me wrist ache in my left wrist from holding it up all the time even when I just wanted a swig of my drink or what not!

[quote name='HengistPod' timestamp='1473345108' post='3129368'] Classical musicians. Lots of stuff to play. No way they can remember it all ... meh. Perhaps if, like Andre Rieu or Nigel Kennedy or Nicola Benedetti, they bothered to learn the 200-year old tunes ... they might make a few quid out of actually entertaining people instead of sitting around in a semi-circle peering at sheets of music and flipping pages with strange foot pedal gizmos. [/quote] TBF the original post was guitar bands but that has never stopped Basschat getting in a twist!

I have done the opposite, spent loads on everything and I still sound crap!

Anyone using a P bass, love the sound of them as long as I'm not the one creating it!

Personally I'd go for either a Gedo or a Thomann one, there are good G4M ones but they are rarer from what I've seen and tend to need work where the others are normally at least playable if not better out of the box. A good used is the best bet but they don't come up that often ime.

Do you get extra points if it was a free gig? I've played the Stafford Festival in the castle grounds, couple of thousand I'd guess, depends on the weather! All for nowt If we can work on people per square foot The Swan beer garden in the summer is ridiculous, I went to the loo in the break and couldn't get back to the stage

I've played to thousands of people, only about 15-50 at a time though!

I can barely remember anything as a four year old, possibly Shakin' Stevens being my first musical memory.

Yep really

People are funny with gigs, if you can sell them a ticket a few weeks before for £2 they'll travel half way around the world instead of losing that £2!

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1472934610' post='3125480'] I'm the same age as your dad....and Blue. While I loved the Beatles at the time, it was only when I got into my twenties that I realised how seminal they were. In my teens, I was more of a Stones and Beefheart fan. [/quote] I love Carole king, Tapestry was already an old album by the time I was born but quality lasts forever I suppose.

Good luck Milty, good to hear you are back on track.

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1472814730' post='3124455'] Let me take a wild guess...the 60's ? [/quote] My dad is the same age as blue,he considers himself too young for the Beatles. Turning 16 in 1970 just as the fun ended.

[quote name='rosscoebones' timestamp='1472726565' post='3123663'] Hi, Id love to attend and have a nosey? happy to bring my cheap as chips Thomann along, with some entry level combis and all set up for slapabilly if that might interest peeps? Havent been playing for long so can share experiences with any other noobs?? Pencil me in and I'll sort logistics??

I love my modded usa Fender Jazz V, it was probably luck over judgement so I'll add a +1 to Bubinga5's xotic.

I find it's all in the neck dive, tip a P bass up and see how it sounds, if something is missing try slicing your fingers on your right hand until they bleed a bit! Man they look good though!

Oh man that's very sad, I liked colgraff on here

I still want a 55-94 or a super rare 55-76 , if we slag them off enough I might be able to aford one sooner!
