Did someone say White Rabbit? Well, I've always enjoyed this post punk/psyche early 80's very messy self indulgent wig out by The Damned. Featuring some very up front Ric bass and lovely not quite in tune vocals by Dave Vanian.

Recommendations for a simple metronome with a BIG flashy light.

Sadly, slowing down with him as I turn round and shout "IT'S TOO F*****G SLOW!". I have bitched about it many times and occasionally it sinks in. My current friendly little nudge before slightly faster songs is "Pace it, don't race it". -

Oh he can! Though usually for me, he slows down and I am trying to push the pace, but he is unaware. -

And my bass would be around his head! It's just a frustration that I am dweling on too much, but it could be a quick and easy fix. Obviously I did employ a little artistic licence for comedic effect. I would just hold it close enough so he was aware and could act upon it. -

Well ours would start at 190 and it would end at 140. 🙄 -

Now that is another very big can of worms recently opened. -

Shoving it in his face allows me to say "THIS SPEED!" at him and for him not pretend he wasn't aware. If I get a confirmation then I'm part way happy. -

I think stand alone would be better. -
Wotcha Well, as it says above (but add in cheap). Anything anyone can suggest? I want to be able to biff in the bpms and hit go and a big assed light begins to flash.. so I can shove that in our drummers face so he can count in songs at the right speed. (Something he seems to think only he can do). Thankee.

I'm sure it would have been mentioned already but I'm not trawling through previous posts.. That appalling barsteward Chris De Burgggghhhhhaaah and Lady In Red. I will instantly boot my radio out of the window should that dare to be played over the airwaves.

I particularly can't abide that faux Irish twaddle that Ed Sheeran plopped out.. Galway Girl? "Oh I had a little fiddle with an Irish man, in the back of his Transit van. He said "I'll do it to you everyway I can". then hit me round the head with a frying pan."

What exactly did You did after Your last gig ?

In which case, spill the beans.. -
Spotty Dog!! You've made my day

Many, many, many. I do loathe Layla (as already mention above), it just goes on and on. And also in the same vein, Hotel California. The end is on continual repeat to the point I imagine the studio crew there whilst recording it were close to topping themselves after the 2nd listen through.

Wow! Thank you.

Ooh! Post a pic please 🙂

So sorry to read your news Ray. I would totally recommend making Basschat your first port of call for selling. It's a fantastically supportive community of like minded people. A much better experience than the wild west that is eBay and FB Marketplace. Very best wishes.

How guitarists check Gibson necks.....
Marky L replied to musicbassman's topic in General Discussion
One of my all time favourites! The dog getting involved, his slippers, the nice shirt for the video, the crappy trousers that weren't expected to be seen, his wife trying to help, how long he stays under the piano, the Brian May photo.. 🤣 There is a little more where he yells at the dog "you either in or out!". I did a very poor remix of it to a techno backing track 😉 -
Oh what terrible news. So very sad. RIP

Thinking about band merch...any tips please
Marky L replied to super al's topic in General Discussion
Do you know what the print medium was? I have used Streetshirts.co.uk in the past and found the print quality good. Very like screen printed ink, probably direct-to-garment. The online "design" app is a bit pants though. They often run deals like free delivery. Oh printing on the rear of the shirt is a simple option with them too. I did a simple design for the band to have a shirt each and one of our fav punters and used tshirtstudio it seems more like a transfer print which I don't like but the quality is fine. Both the above are reasonably cheap and do quantity discounts. -
Which companies are dead to you?

Shrinkflation as they call it. It's very noticeable in a wide and varied selection of food products.
