[quote name='Finbar' post='124017' date='Jan 20 2008, 06:20 PM']Jon was previously saying mid January/early February, but now he says it is more like mid/late February. This waiting thing is tiring [/quote] Which year?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='123658' date='Jan 20 2008, 09:59 AM']We did a gig at a pub in Brighton Marina last night. Great crowd - had them all singing and dancing by the end of the evening so can't complain.. ..But just how scary is it when pub landlords or managers start telling you how to do your sound!!! You want to say something like " P*ss off and go pull some pints and we'll do our F*ing sound, thanks" but you can't, can you.... Typical sh*te acoustics in there as well, but did I start telling him how to rebuild his pub? Good night though...[/quote] Maybe he knows the room better than you?

[quote name='bogdon' post='123353' date='Jan 19 2008, 01:14 PM']there are more box basses shipped to Europe than in the US, and a dozen or more in Belgium (go figure). I have a shipper that ships world wide, from my small garage in Detroit to everywhere on the planet. The internet is a wonderful thing. you can phone Bogdon's shipper at 1-313-277-0700 and ask. or go to bogdonmusic.com and email[/quote] Thanks, I was after a free one in return for a review Tell you what, I could [b]easily[/b] make 300 dollars worth of recommendations to make your website work better/sell more boxes/get you more gigs if you fancy an exchange See [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=707&view=findpost&p=118686"]My Feedback Section[/url] for comments of that aspect of my life

[quote name='NJW' post='123154' date='Jan 18 2008, 10:04 PM']Im one of those terrible people that wears whatever the hell I put on in the morning. When on tour, changing into 'performance' clothes is the last thing on my mind. We're a music group, not a touring fashion show. Of course its completely different when working as tribute acts, theatre work, covers and functions etc.[/quote] You should give it a go one tour and see if you get better reaction, sell more merch, get more return bookings, increase the hits on your myspace, actually get someone to sit next to you in the tour bus etc .. Go on, just ten gigs or so

[quote name='gypsymoth' post='122989' date='Jan 18 2008, 05:22 PM']"a liberating philosophy" at some level isn't that a large part of what music is about? of course if anyone wants to pursue perfection - that is their call, but for me that would be sheer drudgery.[/quote] Depends on the circumstances .. a glaring mistake on your demo says "bad attitude" "they don't care enough" and thus influences the decisions of the person you sent it to. If that person is looking to book you for money then you loose .. all for a C# instead of a C ...

[quote name='WalMan' post='122532' date='Jan 17 2008, 11:29 PM']The beginning of American English by Wax where either Andrew Gold or Graham Gouldman starts a count in over the drums, then shouts Hold it, and then does the count again. EDIT: Actually looking at the start of the thread again I suspect that is just not what you are talking about is it as it is so obvious[/quote] Thought of another one .. Mommas and Poppas "I saw her today" they start singing a verse a couple of bars early, stop and then start again in the right place .. mind you it's 4 part harmony so I suspect they meant to do it ...

[quote name='cheddatom' post='122946' date='Jan 18 2008, 04:27 PM']You could just sample the squeaky pedal and have it triggered before every kick.[/quote] Easy one I meant the scrunched tape that needed ironing

[quote name='Johnny Wishbone' post='122715' date='Jan 18 2008, 10:42 AM']According to Andy Johns (the engineer) it's the bass drum pedal. Wasn't there an accident with the master tape when they were mixing Led Zep III? I think I read that the first few inches of the tape got crinkled up somehow, and they had to iron it flat to get it through the tape heads, resulting in that weird hissing sound at the beginning of "Immigrant Song".[/quote] Really hard to fake those things on ProTools

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='122792' date='Jan 18 2008, 12:36 PM']LOL I ain't pretty enough. Hung like a horse like, but rough as a badger's. [/quote] Well you never know, some people may be impressed by that, lady horses maybe?

[quote name='bogdon' post='122782' date='Jan 18 2008, 12:22 PM']thank you for writing about the Bogdon Box Bass. It isn't a replacement for quality materials and fine luthier craftsmanship, but rather it's a crazy fun bass to see, hear, and play. Here's a link to Bass Player Magazine's review of the box bass [url="http://www.bassplayer.com/article/bogdon-box-bass/jan-08/32919"]http://www.bassplayer.com/article/bogdon-b...ss/jan-08/32919[/url][/quote] So how about shipping a few over for review on this very influential and well read UK Bass players' web forum?

Do it again and they'll think it's jazz

There's a roaring wrong bass note in a KC and the Sunshine band tune .. I think it's in the outro or last verse of Please Don't Go.

[quote name='richy316' post='122429' date='Jan 17 2008, 08:52 PM']+1 for OldGit ! PEAVEY = METAL! Try and get hold of a used 4ohm 4x10 and one of those newish tour heads and you're set, buddy.[/quote] Thanks Richie .. in my version peavey = cheap grunt that goes on for ever Don't really do metal

[quote name='Danbass7' post='122281' date='Jan 17 2008, 04:27 PM']that looks like exactly what i need. im just worried cos its been well gigged[/quote] Dude, it says Peavey on the front. Peavey in gearspeak means "goes for ever and cheap to fix when it breaks"
