  1. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1445706627' post='2893640'] This. Definitely this. +1 [/quote] and definitely put it up on the youtubes

  3. george in ashford started quiet ish but got busier - reasonable size crowd and very enthusiastic for the last saturday before pay day
  4. [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1356690015' post='1912360'] Robert Hurst (Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Tony Williams, Mulgrew Miller, Harry Connick Jr., Geri Allen, Russell Malone, Steve Coleman and The Tonight Show band) said that a bass player shoud 'get off on making other people sound good'. I could not do Cliff WIlliams' job in 1,000 years; I lack the discipline (although I am getting better as I get older). And shocking as it may sound, not every bass player is just a bass player; sometimes they write songs, do b. vocs, add glamour at some level or another, multi-task (Geddy Lee is not half as good a bass player as he is made out to be (same with Peart's drumming)) etc etc. Being the bass player in a lot of rock 'n'n roll/pop/metal bands is rarely about being a great musician. Often 'good enough' is good eonough. [/quote] +1
  5. has he got damaged/compromised hearing in the 'guitar range' ?
  6. [quote name='bassace' timestamp='1445284668' post='2890312'] And we got a good round of applause. A Coltrane number! [/quote] maybe try thewm next time with some jazz arrangements of some classic Cardiacs tunes
  7. [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1445442927' post='2891534'] +2. We've come a long way with bass gear for it to sound that bad. It sounded a bit better when he switched to finger style. [/quote] bass sounds dreadful - i am nearby he could have borrowed my squire J and a trace boxer practice amp would have sounded much better than whatever it is he is playing through sounds like theyve mixed in ambient studio sound too much for that big echoey concrete shoebox effect edit - just been skipping through the episode - just how turgid is that slow duran song!!!
  8. [quote name='phil.c60' timestamp='1445679223' post='2893284'] Mmm.... not sure about that, Steve - she's quite savvy. As I currently leave the house with my Compact in one hand and my LM3 tucked under my arm, the sight of me sweating (swearing?) my way out of the house with and SVT would not go unnoticed! She really wouldn't mind if I bought one, but although she doesn't mind at all about having bass guitars or even my DB (which I haven't even really started with yet) or my spare Ampeg B200r dottted around the house but I think the fridge stuck in the sitting room might be a bridge too far. The previously mentioned Cortina estate however........now there's an idea! [/quote] disguise the cabs as a coffee table with cunning use of smoked glass and fancy trinkets edit - and perhaps leave a suitably distracting coffee table book on the aforementioned cunningly disguised coffee table
  9. could always go for two 4x10s and store them in different locations and if challenged by SWMBO you could claim there is only one - as for the head, SWMBO will not know what is inside the hard rack case unless she takes the cover lid off ....
  10. [quote name='lonestar' timestamp='1445631845' post='2893069'] Listening to a bit of Joes Garage today I couldn't agree more. I'd also nominate Chad wackerman and Scott Thunes [/quote] and fowler/thompson/underwood oh and ohearn/bozzio

  12. bump for anybody in east/mid kent with sunday boredom syndrome please contain your excitement
  13. no slut drop
  14. i just looked at their interwebs site thought they did just strings pleasantly surpised at least i know where i will be ordering my next sets of strings from as my favourite local music emporium is no longer
  15. [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1445152319' post='2889060'] A nicely simplified and populist explanation... Apologies to those who have looked at this properly... [/quote] thanks for not posting Brian Cox

  17. PM sending
  18. its not necessairly about equipment though - sometimes i hear notes that ive not noticed before under odd circumstances like when the volume is down really low tabs and score sheets are fine for a bit of basic guidance but dont necessarily treat them as the ultimate rendition of a certain song as they are usually one persons interpretation - i have seen many bass tabs that are quite slapdash in terms of their accuracy
  19. if you want modern sounding and powerful try wizard hammers (or their new hotrod equivalents) - massive passive output no need for active onboard
  20. careful what you wish for you could live in a creative shithole like Medway
  21. twee momnets such as carry on up the vicarage can be forgiven when considering such gems as racing in a and can-utility and the coastliners
  22. fickleness and randonimity - any one of four (plus the fretless if i need it for something specific)
