you could try a very simple modification which would involve a bit of re-wiring and add a small 2 way selector switch to swap the pup configuration from parallel to series which i am informed would change the cleaner sound of the jazz to more of a P thump

Covers bands - how do you agree on new songs?
steve-bbb replied to thepurpleblob's topic in General Discussion
sort of democratic decision - but whatever any band chooses its down to whether the singists are comfortable singing a particular song we will occasionally change keys if it is just a simple issue of register for the singists but always try and stay within 2 (3 maximum) semitones of the original our band recently pick 'for once in my life' for the 'to learn for next rehearsal list' but i did insist that i would only do it if everybody else was going to put the effort to make it work 100% as whilst it is not technically difficult to play it is nonetheless a bit of a memory tester remembering all 60+ different bars -
Which of these would you choose?

buy a squier P and a wizard/hotrod plenty change left over (in fact it would be about a 50/50 split between your bass GAS and Mrs B's retail therapy) win win situation no? -
[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1420295876' post='2647697'] The thing is, which J? The fat, authoritative Moving Pictures J, or the fizzy flamenco-propelled mess he's been using recently? [/quote] the chunky one of course

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1415114139' post='2596825'] One of their best tracks IMO... but I'm not a fan of the Wal/Superwound elastic bands combo Jazz or Rick for me please Ged! [/quote] yes yes yes get the J oh and the clippers

dont you just love them ive been fiddling with the GLORIOUS OM RIFF for a while but despite getting all the right notes i always seem to bugger up the odd count where it turns around ... until this evening ... i just turned the position inside out and changed the position and fingering completely inside out to how i usually previously played it and the time/count just fell stright into place without even thinking about it [url="http://youtu.be/ASoUUKzgCG0"]http://youtu.be/ASoUUKzgCG0[/url]

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1419458943' post='2640287'] Sorry. I can't see anywhere that it says you'll have to pay. [/quote] it dfoesnt actively say but if you run a group page you will have already noticed for some time now that you cannot promote news feeds 'fully' without paying to 'reach a wider audience' there was a time having a band page was quite handy to promote gigs to all you followers/likers but now they are increasingly restricting that ability - the inevitable conclusion will be that such services will eventually be 'premium' account holders only

anyways ... why not use a band name thats already out there? as long as they are not too geographically close shouldnt be a problem (there are at least five or six of our band name around the country we had a quick squint at their interwebs and reckon we shouldnt collide with them at all) edit - you could use the same name but then use a domain name for website that incorporated your band name and your area to try and eliminate any possible confusion

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1419521010' post='2640632'] Yes I DO know that and I would have put one over the 'i' but it wasn't available in that font. Thhpp!! [/quote] [b][size=5]Ťhhhhïïïïïïïïïïïïïïääääääääääärrrrrrrrrrrþþþþþþþþþþþþþþþþþþþþþ[/size][/b]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1419463725' post='2640340'] Shame it's not a metal band, then you could be called Road Kill. It would have to be like this, obviously: Yes, I'm bored. Where's Santa got to?? Edit: And it's been taken... about five or six times! [/quote] Tsk tsk tsk Any fule kno that metal names must contain at least one umlaut

[quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1419506457' post='2640473'] Suffice to say that our version of Beck's Sexx Laws, monumental as it was, didn't do it for the audience. [/quote] you obviously didnt play the right retirement do ... [url="http://youtu.be/A_WAvi4ikCU"]http://youtu.be/A_WAvi4ikCU[/url]

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1419454607' post='2640218'] I wouldn't have picked Duran but as a compromise that is the one song that I quite like... [/quote] no the song about the river? i hope its planet earth ... much more fun to play

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1419451382' post='2640186'] I like a jumble up as long as they are good songs so do most people, its OK doing a great Motown* set in a Motown* venue or justa few Motown* songs in a set but try it at a party and 90% of the room will hate Motown* *insert genre of choice here. [/quote] i would beg to differ there old chap - we always get a really good response from the motown stuff we do and not just from the old 'uns who are old enough to remember it first time around

[quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1419504181' post='2640451'] Hahhah. It's a full on rock version [/quote] that reminds me - weve been asked to do a wedding in january and they have a couple of requests - one of which is possibly the most aweful cringeworthy song ever written arranged and recorded - so we are going to do a slightly more upbeat kicking 'p!nk' style version of it

oh bejeezus its on the radio right now

[quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1419502455' post='2640429'] ... Let it go: 'Frozen' soundtrack. and MANY others.... [/quote] it was all going so well.... right up until the very last track
