  1. this one from [b][url="http://newsthump.com/2015/03/17/glastonbury-fans-begin-preparing-bottles-of-piss-for-kanye-west/"]NEWSTHUMP[/url][/b] wins the internet (as they say) [url="http://newsthump.com/2015/03/17/glastonbury-fans-begin-preparing-bottles-of-piss-for-kanye-west/"][/url]
  2. hi woody just checked and friends GL is japanese - wasnt aware there would be so much of a price difference
  3. good stuff have you done [b][url="http://www.tenementtv.com/"]tenement tv[/url][/b] up there? seems to be gaining popularity these days
  4. [quote name='woodywyatt' timestamp='1426334720' post='2717000'] Has anyone tried one of these yet, or better still purchased one? I’m looking into buying a Geddy Lee bass in the next couple of months and really love the look of the new USA [url="http://intl.fender.com/en-ES/basses/jazz-bass/us-geddy-lee-jazz-bass-maple-fingerboard-black/"]version[/url]. If anyone has tried one, how much of a noticeable difference is there between the [url="http://intl.fender.com/en-ES/basses/jazz-bass/geddy-lee-jazz-bass-maple-fingerboard-black-3-ply-white-pickguard/"]MIJ[/url] Geddy Lee basses and new US version? What about this new thick "C" neck shape, and of course how does it sound in comparison? I can only find one video on YouTube which doesn't really showcase it that well. I currently own a Squier VM 70’s which sounds great but I love that Geddy growl! [/quote] if you're a\nywhere in south east i can point you in the direction of a very nice thats up for a bargain at the moment (i did tell him to advertise it on here but dont think he has as yet) feel free to inbox me
  5. satuday gig day bump ... if you're thinking of coming along please bring CAKE i love a bit of cake
  6. I hope one day that Neil Innes decides to sue
  7. here's an audition idea .... [url="http://youtu.be/xOqJ6sUKUSU"]http://youtu.be/xOqJ6sUKUSU[/url]
  8. and what about if you 'have hair' but it's not your own?
  9. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1425810850' post='2710844'] Nothing much wrong with that message except that the order of importance is not clear. In question 3 there is the implication that baggy jeans are preferable to skinny. Not sure where that leaves the 'comfort fits' that I favour! [/quote] isnt this all relative to how chunky one's legs are?
  10. are you good? is this like helping old ladies across the road type good?
  11. (Loose in Maidstone that is) and point and laugh at us [url="http://www.thekick-backs.co.uk"][/url]
  12. three days and no reply! must be a record for one of these glwts
  13. i have the one on the left (the chunkier one) on a fretless squiervmJ - the extra thickness of the base plate and the saddles meant that it couldnt be lowered sufficiently on the grub screws to a satisfactory reasonable action height without shimming so instead i channeled out a shallow pocket to drop the base plate so the surface of the base plate sits flush with the surface of the body - that was with a fretless neck but even allowing the hight of frets on a fretted neck the saddles would be all the way down to their minimum height with grub screws protruding unless of course you fitted shorter grub screws hope this helps im usually averse to brand naming too but the gotoh on the chunky bridge isnt really all that readable/visible unless you have a punter in the audience with a telescope in which case you could just move about it to stop him/her focussing for any length of time which might be adequate to scrutinise your hardware choices
  14. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1425619115' post='2709095'] Not a big deal at all. Gig threads is a weird personal thing. My band has never discussed what we wear to gigs, nobody shows up looking like a bum, so it really isn't an issue. Me, I obsess on it, I usually have several outfits laid out on my bed to chose from. I've been working my 70s look for about 45 years now. And it ain't working at all. Blue [/quote] our band only discuss really if its a big pay corporate do or wedding or something similar - otherwise we just wear whatever - ive even played a 50th birthday party forgetting to put my smart shoes on and unintentionally wearing my crocs and nobody even noticed
  15. ... and one mo' 'gain
  16. [quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1425462062' post='2707488'] I wouldn't be too happy if you only waited 3.5 hours before ditching the sale for someone else! Sometimes real life takes priority over BC. [/quote] + another
  17. forget rhythm stick our band have just selected a few new tubes to learn - absolutely love the song but have you considered how tricky is the bass line to mar in Gaye and Tammy terelle "You're all I need to get by" Not difficult in terms of gymnastic technicality but the groove and feel is probably one of the trickiest bass lines you will find anywhere
  18. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1425171055' post='2704772'] I think your band has a nice likable look. However, I wish you had worn a black shirt. Blue [/quote] We do all wear black shirts if it's a classy gig but this was just a more laid back local pub gig - I need to go get myself one of those sh*te shirts for casual occasions

  20. Sounds like a good opportunity to significantly increase the set list / repertoire
  21. Another Day
  22. [quote name='NoRhino' timestamp='1424705279' post='2699374'] Letraset? Now you're talking. [/quote]
  23. JMB ads sweeping generalisation alert ....
  24. [quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1424718577' post='2699618'] That's a great drummer, and doesn't need any raw meat to work [/quote] and you can turn it down when required
