[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1332098588' post='1583279'] I really don't understand the Bonham worshipping at all. [/quote] is understandable if you listen to his solos he is technically nothing that special and some of JPJ early basslines if you listen to them in isolation are a bit rough and ready, but... the chemistry between them was quite something else especially in a live setting i was fortunate enough to see them at knebworth 79 - a bizarre combination of some of the sloppiest guitar playing ive ever seen (courtesy of JP being stoned off his tits) backed by what i can honestly say was the most powerful and electric bass/drum performance ive ever seen - JPJ and JB might be nowhere near the top of their respective fields but imo their combined 'live' chemistry was a significant causal factor of the bonham worshipping

[quote name='gub' timestamp='1332093755' post='1583132'] I feel like the odd man out so many times in our rehersals as the rest of the guys are all into led zeppelin and sabbath and well ...i am not ! am i just being paranoid ? i really dont know , i feel like the black dog of the band ! [/quote] maybe... you are sounding rather dazed and confused tho

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1332069704' post='1582682'] Actually I like the [i]idea [/i]of a J, but not that slope-y body. (Which I why I have a G&L JB-2.) [/quote] well in that case you need a TRB - still got the slope but not as steep as the J but certainly not flat like the P across the butt

next year maybe?

a casual glance through the thread would seem to infer that the the J is winning the day hoorah!

warwicks - love the sound - just a pity you cant play them without touching

[quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1331923789' post='1581057'] Squier J would be my first choice too, gigged one of the Deluxe models for over a year. Liam [/quote] or get an affinity and with the saving you could stick a pair of wizards in it

now this was a rather pleasant surprise - i didnt realise Christian McBride had played with George Duke recently [media]http://youtu.be/H_UVhVi-3Zg[/media] edit: apologies but im not too familiar with Christian McBride and just found this next - killer tone and power from an upright that would make a status blush [media]http://youtu.be/-uv3AZlY128[/media]

maybe it slipped through the spell checker and they need to learn about the 'add to dictionary' option

having a clear out in the attic today and found one of my two curly cables - its a transparent clear cover so you see the shiny screencore inside im off to maplins and get a couple of decent 1/4 inch jacks and resurrect it - it's circa '77

helloo from sunny medway you have a few good venues over that way too

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1331678526' post='1577211'] It turns out that at the end the manager refused to pay on the grounds that he hadn't made any money and we didn't bring anybody with us. [/quote] the venue manager cant dictate the terms of the contract after the event to suit himself it is reasonable to expect a band to turn up and play in a consumate manner - it is unreasonable to expect the band to be time travelling mind readers and anticipate that the venue manager would come up with such a crass excuse after and as a consequence of low attendance/takings - if venues are going to take the attitude that bands are expected to bring along a reasonable number of punters to put money over the bar then the venue need to specify it explicitly

imho i dont think electric walking bass lines get any better than this... [url="http://youtu.be/oHOSUEPsKFk"]http://youtu.be/oHOSUEPsKFk[/url]

[quote name='Adrenochrome' timestamp='1331490585' post='1573678'] Small claims court fella, should an easy win. [/quote] this +1 breach of (verbal) contract write to advise them first giving them 14 days to sort it out otherwise you will take matter to small claims court - dont forget to include the gig fee and a "reasonable admin fee"- and if youre feeling really cheeky you could include a bit of wear and tear on the PA from the damage caused by drunk persons on their premises and if they make it a long tedious drawn out process just copy the whole thing in to the local council licensing officer for good measure
