I find never putting stickers on a bass really helps in taking them off. getting coat...

They can't afford you then. Different if it's a charity do, but celebrating the fact the at the Revolution hasn't happened yet? Nah.

Probably because most people still see music as a hobby, and assume that everybody doing it does it for the love of it. Not always the case.

My dBx 1066 runs after the FX but before the pre, seems to work for me.

5K seems a lot to spend on a single instrument, so I'd have to say one nice bass and invest some money in a really good teacher. Effects, on the other hand....

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1334748988' post='1620566'] This is a quote from Shakespeare, isn't it..? [/quote] Marry, i'faith etc... Nah, 'fraid not, it's from Dr Seuss - "...hop on pop, we'll soon be famous, when all the boys and girls can name us, prettier than Samantha Janus? come off it silly Warwick, my anus" and so on and so forth.

I had a similar thing from playing DB many moons ago. Mine was diagnosed as tendonitis in my LH thumb - basically the tendon gets inflamed and can't move freely in the little groove in your knuckle and that's the painful bit. I was given anti-inflammatory gel, and I also got my GP to sort me out with some acupuncture (sadly I had to pay for this) which worked a treat. Now I make sure that I ALWAYS warm up before I play.

'tain't mine sir, short trousers in the house? I think not - quite the sartorial faux pas.

Warwick? Warwick my anus! points for trying though.

Alright then you 'orrible lot, who's responsible for [i]this[/i]? [media]http://youtu.be/SV7TFje7Ido[/media]

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1334610484' post='1618634'] So basically, if you guys could only have two basses, you would have a four and a five? [/quote] That's me - fretless 4 and a fretted 5. I often think about consolidating/upgrading to just a 5 string fretless, but common sense always seems to get the better of me.

been past it a couple of times. I always assumed it was vacant...

I'm an advocate of 'less is more' when it comes to miking up a kit. If the drummer's [i]really[/i] fussy and starts to threaten physical violence then I'll use four. Great track by the way, the world needs more octaved fretless basslines.

cheers for the heads up, I would have missed it too.

what's the going rate for international sporting spectacles? Someone thought we'd do it for free, but I thought I'd check on here first...

[quote name='Johngh' timestamp='1334509745' post='1617025'] Hope the sound quality is better than the DVD, it's dire. I watched the DVD last night [/quote] Check the sound settings in the DVD menu - apparently it was coded wrong. By default it goes to Dolby 5.1 (IIRC) instead of 2.1 stereo.

I've just spent 2 hours or so listening to Zep albums (mainly "BBC sessions") off the back of this thread and yes, Bonzo was a monster! I'm a huge Rush fan too, so in Neil's defence what he does with Rush is perfect for them, but probably out of place in Zep. Similarly Bonham wouldn't be as effective a drummer in a band like 'Rush'. Horses for courses really.
