[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1426275217' post='2716571'] I`ve been in a few covers bands, but the one I had the most fun in was where I was playing music I grew up with. Go with Band 1. [/quote] This resonates... I'm just back from my audition and it was a blast! They're seeing another bassist next week, but the stars are looking well-aligned: the drummer and I support the same football team, and the guitarist and I were both playing white Fenders

I'm just back from my first trip to Music Room in New Cross: expecting the worse having read about some other places mentioned here, and I'm glad to say I was pleasantly surprised and would recommend it.

I've practise unplugged a lot, and recently decided I'd to find out what some of the knobs on the bass do I generally find headphones uncomfortable, but was pleasantly surprised by what I heard when I plugged my iPhone earphones into one of these: http://uk.boss.info/products/tu-88/

Lee Sklar's OK I suppose, but if you want to see Judith with a real bass legend... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2taYiADZV3E[/media]

[quote name='Bobthedog' timestamp='1426859281' post='2722813'] Sadly Throbbing Gristle, Die Toten Hosen and Gut Bucket (my father's college band - they were all surgeons) have all gone, I'm out. [/quote] Although Sadly Throbbing is quite endearing...

Has no one told you that West Ham don't play in white...? Or are you closet Tottenham fans?

[quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1426842272' post='2722463'] I love HTML. [/quote] I preferred their early stuff.

^^^^ Some gems in there... now I want to form a band!

Totally excellent experience buying Harry's GWB5. Fantastically-well packaged and shipped from NL. Thank you!

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1426767898' post='2721687'] There was a suggestion that Sloppy Seconds would work, mainly cos we're not that tight and do covers, but ...... [/quote] Tarpaulin?

There's a host of baby tropical spiders waiting to burst out of that.

[quote name='DaveFry' timestamp='1426614560' post='2719875'] Jellynote . Mousing over the first of the four large results makes a headstock with four tuners pop up which means BASS !

[quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1426417109' post='2717760'] I see what you did there! Have three entries on me! I've entered, and my fingers are crossed for us both! [/quote] indeed, cheeky! GL all!

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1426697835' post='2720976'] I like the look of a Fender headstock. Looks completely out of place (at least to my mind) on an acoustic though. [/quote] Agreed - and not nice on those symmetric double-cutaway semis either.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1426692454' post='2720878'] Willy Strong Punch [/quote] Although Strong Punch Willy has more of a ring to it.

[quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1426685005' post='2720735'] To be fair this is not a criticism of 'Pino', he is a great player and deserves all of his success. But, when he has layed down a bass track does anyone put it into dots or does it just stay in his head. In fact are any top flight musicians 'fussy' about transcribing their work accurately, because I would be! [/quote] If the player isn't a reader they can only take it on trust that the transcription is accurate! Bit like an author in translation, I suppose.

[quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1426628760' post='2720183'] This meant that I had to sit down and really listen to what Fraser was doing. What an education. [/quote] By a sad coincidence, this I just what I've been doing this week. Hats off, rest well.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1426625655' post='2720113'] Correct: [url="http://www.musicnotes.com/search/go?p=Q&lbc=musicnotes&uid=255758980&ts=custom&w=*&isort=globalpop&method=and&view=list&af=%20artist%3aelton_john&cnt=300"]http://www.musicnote...on_john&cnt=300[/url] [/quote] Dunno about Elton specifically, but a lot of retail "dot" music will have been transcribed after the fact.
