  1. It works best if the fields are fed with appropriate terms for one's own band, which will 'guide' the random process towards something linked to the band. Simply letting it do any 'random' generation is fun, too, of course, but if a 'blues' influence is important, put some 'bluesy' terms in there. Here's what it came up wit when I fed in Jus Lukin's details... Five Times Blues And Other Band Name Ideas Five Times Blues Justin's Midnight Bluesmen The Quality Bluesmen's Club Justin Talent Blues Deep Blue Day Between the Players and Me Lord of the Blues Lions Blues Dream and a Pinch of Experience Justin's Quality Experience The Quality Players Players Five Flight of the Deep Blue Lions Undercover Experience and the Blues Players Sussex Panic School of the Five Lions Purely Deep Blue Five Lions Rubbish Sussex Lions The Playing Blues Bluesmen Bathtub Playing Playing Players Five Playing Iced Lions Puddle of Experience Blues Blues Blues Super Blues Lions Experience, Players and Lions Les Players Experience Army Experience Failure Allo Players Why Lions, Why? The Kind of Songs Flight of the Players might record Sussex State of Mind try it with Rap Generator Our Blues Experience Love try it with Love Song Generator Our Friday Lions try it with Freestyle Song Generator This Love is Blues But It's Quality try it with Taylor Swift Song Generator If I was your Blues Experience try it with Justin Bieber Song Generator Master Of Sussex try it with Metal Song Generator
  2. Why wait..? Here's a method as good as any (and free..!)... Band Name Generator ...
  3. The revues at Thomann may suffice..? Thomann revues... It's for standing on, and transmits vibration though your feet to 'feel' the bass tremors.
  4. Shades of '17 Watts'..! (Watkins Westminsters, by any chance..?)
  5. Striptease with a '666' twist..?
  6. Quite a lot here are, in fact, amateurs..! As a 'pro' drummer, though, 'back in the day', I had a music stand propped up beside the hi-hat, supporting a ring folder full of several repertoires, drum scores I'd written out for the various variety stuff I'd be asked to play at the drop of a hat. I didn't 'read' from it in real time (no time, you see...), but it gave a quick visual cue as to what was to be played, and maybe a note or two (brushes with this band, sticks for another; stuff like that...). Amateurish..? Quite the opposite, for many situations. Sounds a bit 'snobbish', to me, anyway, to say 'Never on my watch..!'. If the presence of a music stand is all it takes to condemn a band/singer/bassist, there wasn't much respect for 'em in the first place. I'd agree that it's not good for a singer to be reading from the book, generally, but having a music stand, in itself, is no big deal, for any band or occasion. Not knowing one's stuff is a different affair, and I wouldn't confuse the issues.
  7. ... but only a bit.
  8. I'm not sure that 'hate' is exactly the right term, but I'll admit to not appreciating 'I'm a pink toothbrush, you're a blue toothbrush' (Max Bygraves...), and never have. Similarly I'll readily turn off any Offenbach which comes up on the radio; with even greater alacrity if it's the French Can-can stuff. Rossini's William Tell overture has worn thin with me, and I can leave Danny Kaye's 'comic' renditions of the Emperor's New Clothes and The Ugly Duckling. Other than those (there may well be more that I've thankfully forgotten...), I'll give most stuff its chance, at least once or twice. After all, if one can listen through 'Satisfaction' as a drummer, one can support just about anything.
  9. Keep well, stay safe.
  10. Although perhaps not so much of an issue as redaction skills.
  11. I'm not sure that that's the point. Musically, from a composition point of view, there is much value in those 'brown notes', so if the composition calls for 'em, they should be reproduced.
  12. There must be quite a few (church...) organ pieces, using the pedal board and the 16' pipes or lower..? Not very 'rock', I'll allow, but acoustically there are some thunderously low notes coming out of cathedrals at times. Just sayin'. Edit: See above ^^ for just one well-known example...
  13. Good afternoon, brambasstik, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
  14. I think it depends on whether there'll be any future treatment on the result. If you're recording the 'definitive' track, I'd suggest that there's no practical advantage in using a higher sample rate. If, however, there's to be any post-production, such as mastering, the highest possible would be better, albeit marginally for mortals. Hope this helps; subject to completion, correction and/or contradiction from others.
  15. Adding 'this' alone would give you an extra filled hole on your bass, that's all. It would need a piezo element to be fitted under the saddles or bridge to be of any use.
  16. Phew..! Luckily the 'young man' reference puts me well in the clear (although my poor English could have pointed the finger in my direction ...). I'm sure I would have chosen ... er... 'other' descriptions of colour.
  17. Turks..? I don't understand; it makes no sense. Have I missed something..?
  18. That's fairly easy to test: tip the cab onto its side and compare the sound. All our cabs have castors; our sound is just fine. It'd take a couple of strong folks just to lift the HH 2x15 off the floor enough to whip out the castors, anyway. The venues and repertoire we play, any difference at all (doubtful...) would be insignificant. I'd suggest leaving 'em on and concentrating on playing well, in the knowledge that you've got great gear that sounds great.
  19. Good evening, Christine, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. The name rings a bell...
  20. Good afternoon, Quaddy, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. /waves back...
  21. Good afternoon, DA, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
  22. Downloading as I type this; thanks for posting. I'm rather partial to a spot of 'Dark Star', so a couple of hours of it is right up my street.
  23. Good evening, Dan , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
