    [quote name='bigjimmyc' timestamp='1471443954' post='3113096'] We're covering a couple of Royal Blood tracks in my 5-piece band. Obviously we are fans . The bigger band makes the songs way heavier in my opinion, and none the worse for that. I use a clean bass sound (no fx at all) for what it's worth. I kinda get why some BCers are not that impressed with Royal Blood. However, the [b]fact[/b] is that they're popular because they have some catchy songs. That's how the music business works. It is perfectly acceptable to be into unpopular music if that's your thing instead, or indeed highly popular chart stuff which I find unpalatable. Just my £0.02. [/quote] I know - it's almost as if art is subjective! Isn't that awful?

    BA55 DMC here - just purchased! Oh the vanity.

    The best learning I ever got was going out and playing with other musicians at rehearsals and gigs. Made an absolute pig's ear of my first few public performances but I am thankful every day now for learning the lessons they taught me.

    BUMP still available

    Nice playing but YYZ is not Geddy - the middle part of the guitar solo section is missing the little 32nd note fill Geddy does near the beginning, which is on the record.

    Mild compression in studio here (usually via valves) but no compression live forces you to even up your playing and encourages dynamics.

    Go for it. If you don't, you will always be wondering 'what if?'

    BUMP - will split!

    cat vs cab

    My old Hartke combo was a giant furrball by the time my old moggie was done with it. Trimming with scissors worked to an extent but you may want to add a dab of black paint to cover the bare wood.

    My thought is that they should really have checked that this was OK with the bride and groom before you guys. After all, the bride and groom are the ones paying and should be the only ones to place or enforce restrictions on their entertainment. FWIW I think a sound limiter at a gig is a good idea. 99% of bands are too loud.

    Weekend bump for two super sweet cabs!

    Slightly OT but what about those guys who relic poly finishes to resemble authentic nitro wear? Hideous!

    Try tab where available - absolutely nothing wrong with using it and I still regularly teach it as well as use it myself. Eventually your ear will develop, there are exercises to try and aid with this but it is certainly not an overnight thing. Failing that - for working out a fast line, I find a program like Transcribe (PC) really helps. You can slow down a song and keep the same key, and also change a song's key at the same tempo - handy if you are in a band who cover a song in a different key from the original. Hope this helps

    Yep I love a good simple EQ setup too. I use an Aguilar DB751 but have had great results with an SVT Classic, Hartke LH, Mesa Boogie Bass 400 etc. IMO all the great amps have simple configurations.

    Goodness me what a price. Would go very well with my Aguilar cabs that are also for sale...

    I am guessing those niggles will get to you Karl, so will be keeping an eye on Bass Players Market UK etc

    Most guitar shops will have a surplus as new basses generally get sold with gig bags. Just ask nicely and most will be happy to oblige.
  20. acidbass
    Weekend bump - will include free postage for the asking price to anywhere in the UK!

    [color=#222222]I'm not a technically gifted player but I seem to get on well with most other musicians, have a light-hearted approach to music and don't voice my opinion in a band without being asked. IMO being a successful musician can be apportioned as follows:[/color] [color=#222222]30% musical skill[/color] [color=#222222]70% people skills[/color] [color=#222222]I have around 150 gigs a year so I guess the most come from the latter. I get by with my mediocre ability on the instrument, but I enjoy listening to what others are doing and playing to compliment that (and mostly stay out of the way!) [/color]

    Cheeky weekend bump Buy now if you deal in Euros and save a fortune against our weak pound!

    Hi all I will probably regret this, but just testing the water to see if there is any interest in my 2 x Aguilar DB112 cabs. - 6 months old - will include original purchase receipts with sale - As new condition, kept in covers since day 1 (supplied) - 300w @ 8ohms - One with Tweeter - One without Tweeter - Great when used as a pair Full specs here - [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_cabinets_db112.htm"]http://www.aguilaram...inets_db112.htm[/url] These are wonderful sounding cabinets - proper drivers and construction, no lightweight ply or drivers, and the tone is unrivalled. In my own experience the 12s lend themselves very well to that low midrange growl of a Jazz or Precision bass. Both cabs come with padded Roqsolid covers. Will upload more detailed pics when I get home later. I'm not overly fussed if these sell or not as I really like them! Price is [b]***SOLD***[/b]for the pair collected, will courier at a cost of £40 for the pair. Retail for these is around £600 each at the moment. Cabs will be posted in heavyweight double-walled white goods cardboard for protection. May consider splitting - no trades PM me with any interest! Thanks Danny
