[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1345669566' post='1780366'] Yes my cabs live in the kitchen/diner but they don't look to bad as they have roq solid covers fitted, another good reason for verticle stacked cabs over 4x10's etc. [/quote]My cabs weigh a ton (4x10 gk and 1x15 peavey) surely i deserve better after 30 yrs of playing.. But my markbass head is the same weight as a cotton wall ball

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1345668936' post='1780355'] That little box room has a built in wardrobe which I have lined with carpet, it houses about 6 cases at the front with two deep shelves at the back for all my other gear and what not, it's basically the same depth as the width of the stairs below it. I have a double drawer dressing table that houses the laptop and all that stuff, and shelves with power amp, guitar amp, drum machine etc etc all wired up through a pair of speakers either side of the table, there is everything you could need all in that little room! [/quote]lovely, ive no longer a spare room cos of daughter No 2 so all my gear is piled up in the corner of our bedroom, apart from my 2 cabs that are in a lock up in the garden.

All you lot with so many basses.. Where do you store all your hard cases ?

[quote name='Jam' timestamp='1345585449' post='1779242'] That was good. I think I learn better from videos than just from books.. [/quote]yea me too.. He's got more lessons online than just this one there's quite a few of them

Ive been watching this on YTube. He's very good at explaining things.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad8R7n5k_ac&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I should know this stuff, but having made it up as I went along for the last [i]cough[/i] [size=1]thirty [/size][i]cough [/i]years I decided it was about time. Hopefully not tooooo many bad habits to erase [/quote]ive also made it up for "ahem" 30 "ahem" years and im gonna look that book up cheers WalMan

Anyone remember Colin Hodgekinson? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX09gTaWhtY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1345461200' post='1777667'] Glad you're enthused. Stick at it. I sadly am at the other end of the scale and in a black "what's the point" space. Hopefully the technique book I ordered last week will get me to snap out of it!! [/quote]Im in one of them holes also, which book was it Walman?

[quote name='mikeh' timestamp='1340692171' post='1708065'] Absolutely brilliant, cant say anymore than I loved it... [/quote]Fantastic... I could play one of them if you took 6 strings off

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1345423046' post='1777427'] Tell him. Tell him: 'Sorry, mate. You're a lovely bloke but you sing flat. Sort some lessons and get it right in the next 4 weeks or we'll look elsewhere. We don't want to, but we will if we have to. It's in your hands." Immediately you've told him this, start looking anyway. Then you've got a choice. [/quote]its the only way to do it

[quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1345403250' post='1777154'] Looks like he's cheating by using a pint-sized Precision! :-) [/quote]Is it cos he's got hands like garden forks?

[quote name='goingdownslow' timestamp='1345340303' post='1776501'] After getting to the gig car park tonight a little late and wondering why I was first there, I got a call from one of the other band members asking if I was ok. It turned out I had selected the wrong gig from the recent destinations tab on my satnav. I was lucky it was only 18 miles from where I should have been and I got there about 15 minutes before we were due to start. First time in all my years I have done that. [/quote]i've never done that, i'm far too intelligent, i just turned up one night at the wrong rehearsal rooms, unloaded all my gear then another band started bringing their stuff in, how stoopid did i look..

Bet a lefty is out of the question as usual

[quote name='zero9' timestamp='1345297349' post='1776016'] If you play any public gigs rather than purely function type stuff, it might be worth putting some upcoming gigs on the website. A potential punter may wish to see you live first. Alternatively, some 'live' video clips might help. Looks good though [/quote]+1

WAL !! i mean WOW !!

of course you don't need gig dates being a function band , i looked at our own website to see how they compared and that was the only thing missing.. good luck with it, hope it gives you plenty of work

Don't seem to be "gig dates" on there unless i overlooked it but looks very good

Good chance you'll get it back matey.. Someones not gonna find a lefty bass in a car park and keep it

I wouldn't want that back... Only kidding lefty, hope you find it.

Ah.. So he has 2 right hand and a lefty.. I think ill buy all 3.

Bottle o bud

Was it the left hooker stingray?

[quote name='Norm' timestamp='1345060612' post='1773100'] Plenty of 4 originals bands on the bill, half hour slot, £1 a head for over 10 punters you can pull in type gigs ie pay to play. But paying gigs few & far. One of our previously reliable pubs that would put on us as an originals band in amongst their normal covers bands has gone down to just saturday gigs & exclusively covers. Told us to learn some Foo fighters songs or similar. So we said Foo Fook off! (We didn't really, we just said nah mate not for us ta, speak to you again when the recession is over) : 0 ) [/quote]foo fook off... Ha ha.. Love it
