Oh perhaps they mean girls pay harps

It's a sinister development Weird statistics .. How many school have harps? Even here in Wales they are a rarity ...

Never seen a sunburst like that before - lots of "hide the ply" black around the edges ...

Hi Do you have a BIN on the Wah? is that a 105Q?

I play bass guitar ... but one gig I do regularly they really like really like me to play the Stagg skinny upright basically cos it looks better - or maybe because I can only play a third of the notes per bar and find all of it so hard I have to really concentrate and not tell so many bad jokes .. Whatever, the band, and th epunters just love it ...

Daniel Defoe played the part in the film, I think Back OT : A recording captures a million little mini factors in a snapshot of time ... You'll never do it just as they did and they almost certainly won't be able to play your lines just like you. Don't worry because the rest of your band won't sound like their counterparts either... Have a listen to some live albums, even the people that played the orginals can't always sound like themselves ....

great site ..

[quote name='51m0n' post='517405' date='Jun 18 2009, 02:15 PM']Some jazz festival or other Cardiff, crips, that's quite a drive for a gig, you guys better appreciate the funky stuff way over there![/quote] Ah yes You are in Brighton .. Well you wanted somewhere further away : One of the guys I play in another (funk) band with has yet another a band that organises the funk shift nights at the globe. They have the Average White Band booked for Sept and Maceo later on ... yeah, Funk goes down well ...

[quote name='51m0n' post='517392' date='Jun 18 2009, 01:58 PM']Swindon any good? [/quote] For what? Well done Simon .. Tell your lot to get a gig on The Funk Shift nights at The Globe here in Cardiff..

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='517056' date='Jun 18 2009, 12:31 AM']I wouldn't get too excited about this model - the photograph (for that it what it is) will shrink over time and crack, revealing a not too pleasant piece of wood underneath.[/quote] yup The typically over enthusiastic owners thread on talkbass says that too. "You can see the paper but it looks Ok from a distance"

[quote name='BarnacleBob' post='517192' date='Jun 18 2009, 09:50 AM']Reply to M. Jackson, LA BB[/quote] arf! Seems to be a busy bands/musicans wanted website though .. Found a couple of interesting looking things in my area ..

Spotted this on Join my band (via Twitter) [url="http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/ad.php?p=112965"]http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/ad.php?p=112965[/url] Nothing to do with me

Keep the faith, mate. You can do the gig. If it's blues orginals you can sort the starts and ends and wing the rest. No one will know if you are doing it right or wrong. Never sell your gear when depressed. Wait 'til you are happy and sorted and fullfilled.

[quote name='casaluigi' post='517088' date='Jun 18 2009, 05:52 AM']Woah, loads of mediocre stuff on this list (first page anyway, too tired to read further). I hope Messin With The Kid, Son Of A Preacher Man, Gimme Some Lovin and Think all got a mention. i love playin bass, tis great craic altogether...[/quote] Yeah the public just love mediocre stuff

What appears to be a nice wood capping is in fact an image of nice wood stuck onto the front of the normal wood body.

How about Blues Alive at Bishops Stortford? Nice venue. Good reputation for a good night.
