I dont mind Guigsy as a bass player, he played what was needed on all Oasis tracks. If I was asked to come up with what Noel wanted, I would have played the same thing he played.

Why all the fawning? Guy Pratts on here, and no one bats an eyelid

[quote name='paulypbass' timestamp='1330390073' post='1556837'] i normally get ernie ball strings in that gauge. the only gay thing about nickel strings is they really dont last that long but i personally think they sound much nicer.

Currently in bed with flu, hope I feel better by Saturday!

Been using these on all my basses recently, nickel strings for me too!

I just play the main guitar riff on the bass, that fills it out a bit more than Bills original line.

Cheers guys!, now if I can remember where I left my soldering iron!

I have ordered a set of Seymour Duncan SPB1 pickups for my Squier P Bass as the originals are a bit bit thin sounding. Would upgrading to 500K pots improve the sound too? Its a nice looking bass which i,m fond of, so am looking to upgrade it.

Bad Company - Feel Like Making Love, I love the way Boz Burrell never plays the same pattern twice, just a variation of it. Queen - Fat Bottom Girls (In dropped D) John Deacon, first proper song of his I,ve played! (apart from the awful CLTCL) which i dont count.

I recently ordered a Seymour Duncan SPB 1 pickup for my Squier. I was looking at a Wizard Thumper or a quarter pounder, but I wanted an old school vintage sound, and these came highly recommended.

I started off on bass and progressed to guitar. It made paying the bass much more of an eye opener for me, the way the chords and scales worked together and wasnt just following the chords playing root notes all the time.

Im going by tube, no parking worries, no con charge and no breathalyser test

I spent a whole afternoon perfecting the bassline to 'The Seeker' by The Who, only to find that the drummer was playing something completely different to the original version, when I asked him he said it wasnt important to play it to the record. This caused a complete racket as the bass and drums clashed, so I had to play 4 to the bar instead. So the moral is, if you have to play it note for note, make sure your drummer does too!

Boody hell! I didnt realise it was that serious!! - I wont be doing that again!!

What time do you guys plan on turning up?

I always to to play it as G7sus4, amazing, you live and learn!

We played in a sports club over the weekend for a birthday party, and when I stepped up to the mike, I really got a belt as my lips touched it! All the other mikes where live too!, strangely enough, the bass strings and all other metal things were ok! had to spend the rest of the evening singing about 6" from the mike!!

[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1329161794' post='1538217'] Yes, it's a well known mistake. [/quote] So it is well I never! [url="http://www.guitargeek.com/chat/now-playing-35/mistakes-made-album-18825/"]http://www.guitargeek.com/chat/now-playing-35/mistakes-made-album-18825/[/url]

Well its all hyperdermic now, as the drummers just called to say he cant make it tonight!

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1329146610' post='1537784'] The entry for Steppenwolf in The Great Rock Discography amused me: "they continued to inflict their tired biker rock on audiences into the 90s" [/quote] I.ll just play it straight, the other verses are all ok, so whos to know?

Be confident, nervous body language is easily picked up, where as confidence oozes

Been running through the bass part for this song for tonights rehearsal, and noticed a discrepency in the repeat of the first verse after the organ solo where the bassist seems to miss the G where the singer goes "Yea darling gonna make it happen!" is it just me?

I always get Stuart at Peter Cooks in Hanwell to look after all my guitars. Nice friendly, honest chap.
