here's an audition idea .... [url="http://youtu.be/xOqJ6sUKUSU"]http://youtu.be/xOqJ6sUKUSU[/url]

and what about if you 'have hair' but it's not your own?

[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?

are you good? is this like helping old ladies across the road type good?

(Loose in Maidstone that is) and point and laugh at us [url="http://www.thekick-backs.co.uk"][/url]

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

[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

... and one mo' 'gain

[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

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

[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

Sounds like a good opportunity to significantly increase the set list / repertoire

JMB ads sweeping generalisation alert ....

[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

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1424629491' post='2698512'] It's a pretty young, hip, crowd so I think they'll let us do the cooler stuff [/quote] in that case knock them off their feet and do this... [url="http://youtu.be/Z697OtTYCBI"]http://youtu.be/Z697OtTYCBI[/url]

there are several programs you could use - illustrator or photoshop or indesign would be the main ones of choice but you can produce an acceptable product with powerpoint or openoffice equivalent - ther eis no definitive answer to this question really - i mostly use illustrator but depending on what source material i am using i may do it in photoshop or i may create lements in both and combine them in one or the other later to finalise but unless you are a graphic designer` with a significant amount of experience using illustartor/photoshop without wishing to sound patronising or condescending you would probs be better off sticking with a powerpoint type program choose a program which suits your budget and technical abilities as the final product is arguably more dependent on your artistic and design skills than the software used to create it check out the various vector stock websites too as there are plenty of 'ready-made' posters available which you can adapt and modify with your own text - yes they may be recognisable as clip art but they save a lot of time and still produce a reasonably slick looking result - (edit) here is an example of one i produced last summer for local event we played at - browsed through vector stock library and spotted some vintage stamps with a beer theme - as the event was a beer festival i thought this would be suitable so just produced a quick design using the beer stamps as the basis this example was all done in illustrator but similar could be achieved in powerpoint hope this helps

dog and gun maidstone last night - (formerly Conan's) LH500 head got it's first outing with the kick-backs and performed admirably nice to hear a decent amount of power coming through the 410 at last - our guest singer even managed to persuade our lot to live dangerously and do a song which we have never rehearsed (signed sealed delivered) which went down rather well not 100% accurate but plenty of groove and drive in all the right places so looks like its finally in the set list
