[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

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1430835282' post='2765021'] ... So far every song I have tried uploading has been removed for copyright issues, is this not allowed or am I doing something wrong?

student accommodation! what could possibly go wrong that would piss off the local residents [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1431779685' post='2774903'] The problem is that there is so much money in this sort of development that the odd ten grand here and there to the planning committee barely registers. [/quote] most definitely this - if youve ever wondered just how much profit there is in these ventures just look up the annual returns for a company like liberty living

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1431771591' post='2774768'] I get bored of this genre quite quickly nowadays. I used to be quite into it, but after a while all these bands sound exactly the same. The songs sound the same, the sound of the group, etc. It's just a bit formulaic. It could be Jamiroquai, Incognito etc etc. Just with a different vocalist.....who all sing the same kind of melodies. I kind of feel the same about reggae. [/quote] we do a cover of their cover of midnight/oasis - i can quite see the point of too many notes as it can get a bit busy imho with this sort of funk genre once you get into the groove and start shaking your bootay it is very very easy to 'hear the space for excessive note insertion' but you must resist the temptation to yield hope this helps

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1431250910' post='2769123'] but their footprint is too big for smaller pub and club-type gigs and everyone trips over the legs, which though widely-splayed for stability do tend to get in the bloody way. The drummer won't like it as of course he will need to take over the whole stage area when setting up. [/quote] youve been to see our band then? why didnt you say hello?

never ever use one of these on a dog no no no but a drummer ... sure if it works

[quote name='kusee pee' timestamp='1431247093' post='2769071'] 100% Hercules. The clip-in headstock ones are wonderful. Best I've ever used. [/quote] yes so wonderful that they occasionally pop put when they shouldnt recently our guitarers lovely 70s USA strat almost took a nose dive to the floor as a result of said clip randomly disengaging itself they are good stands, very sturdy and well made but dont rely on the headstock clip as 100% infallible (98% maybe)

Looking for a recording studio where we can record the full band live
steve-bbb replied to Stylon Pilson's topic in Recording
[b][url="http://www.ranscombestudios.com"]http://www.ranscombestudios.com[/url][/b] [url="https://www.facebook.com/groups/jimriley"][b]https://www.facebook.com/groups/jimriley[/b][/url] plenty of testimonials and references and sound clips in the 'hall of fame' section [b][url="http://www.ranscombestudios.com/ranscombe-hall-fame/"]http://www.ranscombe...ombe-hall-fame/[/url][/b] [b][url="http://www.ranscombestudios.com/ranscombe-hall-fame/stuart-turner/"]http://www.ranscombe.../stuart-turner/[/url][/b] [i]Ten or so years ago I was recommended Ranscombe Studios in Rochester by a friend. He confidently claimed that whatever I wanted to do with whatever it was I was writing, then Jim Riley could make the best of it.[/i] [i]Having recorded music in a variety of studios across Kent, all of which resulted in demo tapes that sounded like demo tapes and demo CD’s that sounded like demo tapes, I was instantly impressed by the results of my first foray into the Jim’s sonic bunker. The band I had at the time recorded a bunch of things in quick succession and then split up, but all those recordings are better than the band had a right to sound due to the efforts of Mr Riley. None of them sounded like demo tapes, even if that’s all they were. Jim actually could make a reasonable purse out of our sows ear.[/i] [i]Over the years I have recorded three albums of solo material and four albums and two EP’s with my band Stuart Turner and the Flat Earth Society. These later albums have garnered some pleasing reviews, all of which are down to Jim’s ability to filter our ideas into a coherent sound, no matter how many kitchen sinks I want to throw in, and often his ability to filter out some of my more whimsical ideas, (and God bless him for that.)[/i] [i]We have just finished recording the fourth of these band albums and I think it’s the best thing I personally have ever done. And why? Because of Ranscombe Studios of course and because Jim got us to forget the kitchen sink and play. Live. In the studio. And capture the songs in performance. And in doing so capture something you don’t get everywhere.[/i] [i]So here I am, ten years later, writing to you as I would a friend to recommend Ranscombe Studios to you. Whoever you are.

when you upload the file you can set tags and change the copyright setting i set ours as creative commons for a list of 8 full song cover versions for our band - been there since november last year with no problems maybe check that its not set to some default setting and that you are actually claiming the copyright on an original song

i seem to be bonding more and more with my faithful old blue squier just lately - always gives me the sound i want with ease both live and recording

For those Of Us Who have To Audition, Do You Ask The Right Questions?
steve-bbb replied to blue's topic in General Discussion
What are these vocals you speak of? -
[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1430072425' post='2757737'] That looks like a Victory V - have you tried one of them? [/quote] strange you should mention because it actually tastes better (have edited/resampled the pic as accidentally linked the full size original)
