it's easy if you play on auto-pilot start to think about it and it all goes tits up and whatever you do, do NOT try and count hope this helps [url="https://youtu.be/ASoUUKzgCG0"]https://youtu.be/ASoUUKzgCG0[/url]

disappointed frankly .... not with the pedal or packaging read the thread title and thought this was going to be some intriguing post with existential insight into errr something or other

this one is easy and flows smoothly - one simple long phrase repeated over two step nice diagonal pentatonic pattern [url="https://youtu.be/6Z66wVo7uNw"]https://youtu.be/6Z66wVo7uNw[/url] [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]G ------------(9)-11--9----------------------------------------------------------[/font] [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]D -----------------------9-------------------7------9--------9--7---------------[/font] [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]A ---9--7--------------------7--------7--9------9------------------9---7---5----[/font] [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/font]

Daft question - Is sterling sub the same as music man sub?
steve-bbb replied to Dropzone's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='Dropzone' timestamp='1433755814' post='2793567'] Many thanks fretmeister, can anyone give a comparison of the two sound wise, even if just preference. Am seeing a 5 string sterling sub up for £200, ... but is quite far away, so don't want to travel to buy if it is not great. Thanks [/quote] regardless of which bass you eventually go for at this level it is usually a good idea to buy local enough that you are able to travel if you can and try before you buy -

Would you rather play a few pubs often or a lot of pubs less
steve-bbb replied to bonzodog's topic in General Discussion
prefer tp be able to pick and choose pubs - we seem to be having a summer of private party bookings and beer festivals thus far -
[quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1433320039' post='2789966'] Okay, this is for a colleague of mine. His son (14) and friends are in a band and they have been picked to play on a minor stage at a small local festival in a 'Battle of the Bands' kind of format. They have been told that they will need to provide their own PA, as last year some of the bands claimed they were not very good because of the provided PA. Now I have never used a PA and neither has my colleague (both Brass players historically) - so we are not sure what level of equipment this would entail. Does anyone have any experience of this kind of thing and could suggest what type of kit (possibly with examples) that they should be looking at? [/quote] sounds like the organisers are looking for the first act they can find who are able to bring their own PA and then coerce them into allowing it to be used for the whole event thus saving the organisers the cost of hiring a PA out of their own funding

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1433141347' post='2788097'] Beat me to it. I wouldn't be travelling to the next town to audition for this one. [/quote] i wouldnt even bother to the end of our street

made in probably means it has been assembled at lighting speed by a robotic teenager listening to an ipod which has probably just cost them several months wages crafted makes you think it has been diligently and carefully constructed by a skilled artisan hope this helps

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1433011674' post='2787078'] i like to think my mind is open to everything, apart from 50's love songs and happy hardcore house/gabba, that sh*te can go away. but this stuff is so killer. I'm really researching different bands. these guys are good.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1432443044' post='2781468'] If you have experienced this let's hear about it. [/quote] [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1432452703' post='2781495'] Yes, they will remove an idiot from the audience but there seems to be an ever increasing number of people who don't go for the music, but want to tell their friends that they were there last night. [/quote] not personally towards me/us but i can let you in on an absolutley monumentally staggeringly obscene example of this phenonmenon of which you crave to hear picture the scene a small London venue, table/booth in front of us occupied by two very pleasant young ladies who i can only assume both had the patience of a saint as for pretty much the entire show they had the endure the utter drivel spewing forth from the mouth of their host (young late 20 something sharp suit sharp tongue 'liked what he said and said what he liked' probably with a good city salary and small penis) entertaining them no doubt with his corporate hospitality and attempting to woo them with demonstrating his taste for sophisticated jazz anyways,,, on and on and on and relentlessly on went this monologue went for just about the entire show - i feel here i should also point out that i must be congratulated for my saint-like patience qualities as it was pretty much beyond human endurance listening not only to the most pathetic chat up attempt in history but also tolerating the suffering of the two poor young ladies without intervening in a chivalric manner to save them from a fate worse than anything imaginable) i didnt punch the twat but in hindsight i probably should have and done everybody within earshot a massive favour, and would have probably received a good round of applause too forgot to add - the artist who had to suffer this ignorant fecking eejut talking all the way through the show including all the sublime subtle quiet solo sections was none other than the worlds greatest living guitarist Allan Holdsworth playing at the Jazz Cafe on a plus note there was plenty of loud stuff too to drown out the idot bastard son braying city wide boy w***er and give the two young ladies (and the nearby audience) a brief bit of respite

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1432359076' post='2780756'] i have messaged him many times. he's a cat that is well known. he hasn't got back to me. i don't want to get rid of the bass without his say so. but its got to a point that i have no choice. . [/quote] send him an advisory letter that henceforth you will be charging storage fee and stipulate the daily rate have you tried asking the mods to mediate yet? presumably they would be able to contact him through his regular email address
