[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1335795128' post='1636108'] Just realised that in ... hang on, quick calculation... 38 years of playing bass I've only played one cover. It was Badge, the Cream ditty, eons ago. Am I missing out? Judging by the videos you lot have posted I might be. [/quote] most excellent! from henceforth all songs/tunes/numbers etc are to be referred to as Ditties

have done a couple of function band auditions just lately with unsuccessful result and always the bands end up with a least a dozen hopefuls to try and squeeze in on each occasion ive told them that im ok with 95% of their set list anyway and they just send over a list of about 5 songs one thing that has struck me recently is that with the way things are financially, more players are looking to function band gigs as supplemental income rather than the pub-band ethos of doing it for the craic and a wee bit of pocket money so to go completely against what mr skanks has said above, to draw an analogy, if i were applying for a part time job i wouldnt be asking the potential employer if i could choose my own interview questions i dont think having the songs specified by the band is unreasonable or precious in any way - unless they prove otherwise by their behaviour when you meet them! edit .... and dont forget... you are auditioning them as well!

HI there nice bridge

any philately enthusiasts out there collect first day covers i have a stack of falkland islands, south georgia and british antarctic territory covers for a good home cant sell them as apparently according to the purist stamp experts they are worth absolutley bugger all! but they do look nice! 10 squid should cover the postage and packing nicely - or collect if youre local in north kent

sorry forgot earlier big plus one for the northern soul original version of this - it knocks spots off the soft cell version anyways!

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1335770977' post='1635554'] So you've never covered a Queen song then? Just because a gay bloke had a hit singing it doesn't make it bad. Listen to the Gloria Jones original, grit your teeth and get on with it... [/quote] +1. What's the problem?? You're being asked to play a song not bend over and take it royally??? Contrary to popular belief you can't catch it by osmosis or from a toilet seat !

ive been fortunate enough to luck out with a really nice affinity J - even straight off the peg it is good - ive changed the bridge for a heavier one which deffo did improve and the only other mod i have in mind is installing a pair of wizards the shop i bought it from had some mim j's and p's but there was no significant improvement over the afinity - guess i was lucky to find a good one but it might not be 'all' luck as im sure this is a tale you will hear often repeated

will do - just sorting postage price for daz - if he changes his mind theyre yours

Will do daz will sort out postage cost for you

hola!

never got to see him unfortunately but have seen ZPZ at RAH (wasnt all that impressed tbh) and have seen George Duke twice, he did about 20 minute medley of tunes which absolutley blows ZPZ show out of the water imo personally i think GD should reassemble the roxy&elsewhere band and f* gail and her legal threats and just do it - i think Frank [b][i]would[/i][/b] approve

landranger series 1:50k not all 204 sheets but about three quarters of them (and not all current editions - in fact i havent a clue on currency but im guessing they are prob all old editions by now) will deliver for costs but would prefer collect (north kent)

on hold for Jabba pending all the usual why didnt you buggers buy my tonebender this quick!!!!

this is the main piece - i had this planed flat to 42mm (i think) same depth as a TRB whatever that be!) with the dimensions in mm there is a spot on one face which if you do go for a J shape you will be able to lose under the bridge pickup as i checked the position - the reverse side is spot free and similar pattern this piece has been covered both sides with clear transparent vinyl to protect and keep clean the second piece was cut from alongside the 800mm length so similar grain patterning and is about 230mm wide - has some twist so may not suitable for neck but would be more than suitable for cutting veneers for headstock - is about 50mm thick but would prob need planing down to 38-40mm at a guess to remove the twist

moonmadness is fantastic - i grew up as a spotty teenager on that and a few other albums this is good too - quite different to moonmadness [url="http://youtu.be/-E3ZUwI5iW8"]http://youtu.be/-E3ZUwI5iW8[/url]

up for grabs [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/134639-in-search-of-the-perfect-body"]http://basschat.co.u...he-perfect-body[/url] slab of elm large enough to cut a J shape body in a single piece - second slab of elm available but needs machining, is same length but only half body width collect (north kent) or pay delivery charge (shouldnt be more than £12-15 ish)

well no progress due to circumstances hitherto unforeseen if anybody is interested in taking on a nice slab of elm it is here for collection to any luthiers out there who would like to use it
