Are you gonna be... grrrrrr.... my girl
LiamPodmore replied to thepurpleblob's topic in Theory and Technique
Way i do it is on the first bar i play A then E, hammer on to the G, then again onto the A, then to C. 2nd bar i play A, then E, hammer on G, pull off to E, hammer on to G again. 3rd time round i play A then E as normal, and then hammer on to the G, again onto the A and pluch the A again. last bar i play C D C A G. Hope that helped, sounds right to me when i play it live. (Pretty often) Liam -
What was your first bass and why did you start playing?
LiamPodmore replied to damo200sx's topic in Bass Guitars
I told my dad i wanted a guitar one day sometime in 2007. A few weeks later he came home with a battered 1994 Fender Squier Affinity Jazz Bass and a 40w keyboard amp. That bass had the worst action ever, absolutely battered, grounding problems, covered in rust, etc... but i loved it, in the process of rebuilding it at the moment. I started playing for no reason at all, i just wanted to play a guitar of some sort. Liam -
I'll throw in another for guitar pro, i'm always using it, Liam

Genre: Contemporary Punk Amp: Line 6 Lowdown LD150, Warwick ProFet 5.1 EQ: All flat, deep switch on, on both, occasional mid boost depending on the cab im using with the warwick. Liam

Welcome, you speak better English than many English people i know. Liam

I have a Warwick ProFet 5.1 head that i'm considering possibly trading. Its 500w at 4 ohms, rack mount, 4 band EQ, compressor, bright and deep switches. I'm not using it much as i don't have a cab, so i have only used it for a few gigs and about 5 or 6 practices since i bought it at christmas. It has a few marks on it, and is missing the cap for the compressor switch (Merely cosmetic, still easily useable) but is in pretty good condition overall. Missing compressor switch cap: Looking for a 210/112 combo, atleast 300w with extension cab capabilities, such as the Ashdown MAG 300 210 or the Marshall MB4210, or possibly a micro head. Can meet up in Bolton or Manchester mainly, but i also visit Bradford quite often so there is also possibility Liam

My band A Little Bit Outlaw (Contemporary punk) are playing at The Mill in Preston on the 25th with Dollface, Sedated (Ramones tribute) and The Sanity Clause. It's £3 on the door which opens at 7pm. Hopefully see some of you there, we also have some new songs to unveil so it should be a good night. Liam

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='1128954' date='Feb 15 2011, 09:38 PM']I much prefer to poke it between my saddles: [/quote] As do, works wonders, you can even fit 4 in if you have a 5 string like me. Liam

Yes, i would, have been for a year now, i'm not 100% happy with it, but i love gigging, so its all good. Liam

Spending too much time on this bloody site!
LiamPodmore replied to thebrig's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, i even end up on here in school sometimes, or till 3am because i'm bored and theres nothing on TV (as usual, british TV is sh*t nowadays, never anything good on, just mock the week and top gear reruns on dave) -
I frequently gig a Line 6 Lowdown LD150 with my band and it sounds pretty good. Its starting to lack in power a little as i now have it EQ'd better and its a tad quieter, but the sound is rather impressive. I think the LD175/300/400 would be damn good gigging amps, but the 150 lacks on power for my needs. Got a Warwick ProFet 5.1 now though, much more power, just have to find some money for a cab. Liam

[quote name='crez5150' post='1122758' date='Feb 10 2011, 03:38 PM']...but if you were to stick that on tour it wouldn't last a week...[/quote] Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch has been using 2 Relay G90 systems since they came out, on tour, every night, with no problems. I have seen a few others using them aswell but i can't remember their names. Liam

Usually once a week, but we havent had one for atleast a month now, we've had gigs for the past 5 weeks so fitting in band practice around school/college, gigs, basketball practice (for the other 3), and general socialising isnt that easy. We don't always need to practice though, just to add new songs and write some more originals. Liam
-
My band never have played anything like Mustang Sally and stuff like that, probably because we have a much younger audience (15-20) so those kinds of songs don't work well. We do do Country Roads occasionally, and also used to play Highway To Hell, but in terms of the usual cover band songs, those are the closest we do. We also have originals we throw out there too.

First Bass Owned: 1994 Squier Affinity Jazz 'Go To' Bass: 2010 Squier Deluxe Jazz V Active 'Your' Bass: Musicman Stingray Classic 5/Musicman SUB 5 (Don't own one yet though, did we have to own it?) Liam
-
I'll add another +1 to the Hercules, i dont have one personally but i've used my mates at gigs quite a few times and they are rock solid, even with my Squier Jazz 5 which seems to weigh more than my amp sometimes. Liam

What came first: the band, or the bass?
LiamPodmore replied to janmaat's topic in General Discussion
I started on a bass at about age 11/12 (Can't remember exactly when, but close to my 12th birthday), joined a band about 4 months later, then quit that band after a year to join the band i am in now. Best move i made, nearly 3 years later and i know i made the right choice. Liam -
As many others have said, i don't need it, but i prefer it, probably because my 5 is my best bass and feels most comfortable to me, also because its much easier for me as my band go from standard to drop D quite often, and i need a few notes lower than D every so often. Liam
-
Personally i'd invest a little money and swap one of the 210's for a 4 ohm 410, that way you can have the 410+115, the 210+115 you also use, and a 210 or 115 for the smallest gigs. Liam
-
I couldn't go without my amp i don't think, not yet. In a few years i think i will be able to because we're planning on getting our PA up to scratch so we can use it for pretty much whatever it needs to be, weather its just vocals or the whole band with a fully mic'd drum kit. If we did have a decent PA i wouldnt mind just using a POD and IEM's, would save me alot of effort. Liam
-
Last nights was pretty sh*te. There was about 15 people there, if that. Last saturday though, we got a good strong crowd of about 200, absolutely phenomenal, probably because it was free and all our mates live around that area. Surprisingly wasnt all teenagers either, plenty of older people in aswell. Liam
-
Not in my opinion, but i never got to use one live, personally i would go with a Boss GT-10B or a Line 6 POD X3 Pro or Live, as that POD seemed pretty useable when i tried it. Liam
-
Mine would be considered low to some people, but if i have it higher its painful. I have mine where its in pretty much an optimal position for pick and finger playing, so either one isn't too hard to do because i use both. I sometimes have it abit lower than this, but that isnt too often, just when im playing 100% pick as i find that abit easier. Liam

In: Either a SBMM Ray 35 Or A Musicman SUB 5 Lots of parts for my jazz rebuild. Out: Maybe my Ibanez, not sure yet. Planning on getting some cabs and rack gear aswell this year. Liam
