I sometimes where gloves at band practices during the winter as it gets so cold it is almost impossible to play without them (See my old practices spaces from hell thread) but never wore them when there was no need, it's kinda pointless if you ask me, although you can move up and down the neck faster depending on the gloves.

Welcome Mugz, is the repainted acoustic the one in your avatar? If so, it's a mighty fine job. Liam

[quote name='charic' post='1184452' date='Apr 1 2011, 11:22 AM']What originals bands that play a lot of covers too? That seems to work very well[/quote] +1 Thats my bands situation at the moment, our local gigs in 2011 we have managed to pull a good 100+, mostly people who came specifically to see us, and then the locals in that pub, everyone starts to bring their friends along aswell so there always seems to be some new faces along with common ones.

We're a pretty young band (15-17) with a young audience which probably contributes to that though. Some other songs i find go down well with our crowd are Nickelback covers, we used to do How You Remind Me and Another Hole in The Head, along with really fun and upbeat things such as the Ghostbusters Theme Tune.

If you change your mind about posting i will take the rack bag. Liam

Welcome Baz, thats quite a rig you have there, and as Paultrader says this play is addictive. Liam

My bands lead guitarist was originally the bassist before i joined, infact, when i joined he was a better player than me, but that was around 2 and a half years ago. Liam

Looking at that i have a high suspicion that that bass was the exact same after that song as it was before, a tech most likely caught it. Slash, Alex Gaskarth and Taylor Swift have all thrown guitars and had their tech catch them. Either way, he can afford it, and i would do that to a Fender. Liam

[quote name='Ian Savage' post='1152497' date='Mar 7 2011, 02:06 PM']Now THAT'S a question The idea of an active 2x15+horn pair is very appealing, BUT unless you're always playing on stages a couple of feet high you're right, they'll be too low on their own and a lot of your sound will be lost into the front row/dancefloor/whatever.[/quote] My mates band just grab 2 tables from wherever they are and put ther 2x15's on them, works rather well. My band use a Behringer Europower PMX2000 (250w per side) into 2 1x15+ horn Warrior cabs (8ohm, 300w each) and 2 1x12 Peaveys (8ohm, 200w each) for 2 vocals and possibly a keyboard. Works fine for what we need, backline handles the rest. Liam

Buy 2 packs, always keep one pack spare in your case or bag. Liam

I've had a dabble on an old SR1005 sometime in the past, it was a good bass from what i could tell. The US have a much better range of Ibanez basses than we do here. They still have the SR100x, 200x (if i remember correctly), the SR706, the lower end BTB's. Liam

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

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

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
