i always feign plenty of coughing and spluttering m obviously not the only one who cant stand them and i thinks the stuff smells absolutely vile thankfully ours doesnt get used so much now since our singist lost her voice mid gig on one occasion as a result of the aforementioned rogue machinery

well i cannot begin to describe my disappointment that all the blood didnt rush to his head and make it explode edit - foul mouthed little c*nt as well isnt he

There is a nice little gretsch single cutaway (ok ok les paul sort of shape ish) in the ME1 branch at the moment (presumably not very old and originally from Manny's Music just along the high street)

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1407989870' post='2526037'] Jamerson used a dirty, stock p bass. Go figure [/quote] so he picked a lucky one then

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1407931880' post='2525429'] Maplins used to have an extensive range of Neutrik jacks. [/quote] yes thanks - i will nip into one of their bigger local stores and then get the chisel out

Had forgotten this thread until recently when I went shopping to try and find a neutrik Whilst I had the back cover off having a dig around I noticed a way to make a mod to use an open style socket which only requires internal modification and will have no visible indications externally Will post some before and after pics soon after I've sharpened my chisel

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1407773688' post='2523860'] Does anyone else get frustrated not being able to afford half decent gear? I play a Jhs vintage bass and whilst I like it I would prefer something a bit higher quality. My amp set up is just a mixture of second hand Hartke stuff off here or ebay. Last gig my amp head died so I am currently trawling the web looking for cheap second hand heads which I know is a false economy as they probably wont last five minutes. The gigs pay well but that usually gets spent on the kids. Think its made worse that the guitarist and drummer have no commitments so are always buying new gear. I would never expect them to chip in for my gear but cant help getting a bit down about it. I look at prices of decent gear and its like a different world to me. Anyone else feel the same? [/quote] second hand hartke rig and a squier affinity

anybody by chance have a link to the dots of [b]For Once In My Life[/b] would be much obligated ta

only usually right at the intro even on iconic stuff like rescue me with that simple distinctive bass intro i often find im asking myself and the rest of the band 'how does it go?'

the blue one is a beast now that it has wizard hammers

tis verily ye olde washe burne fraud by misrepresentation if you ask me

dont take my word for it though if youre at the SE bass bash you can compare and contrast my fretted and unfretted J's

well i guess a big part of the difference in feel is in the widely varying approach to technique required by the fretted and unfretted broadly speaking shape and dimesions the same will be a very similar feel but because of the different approach to technique required you need to play them differently to get the desired tone and effect so imho its not quite the same as trying to compare say a fretted squire J with a fretted fender J

no edit - i have a fretty J and got myself a vm unfretted from this very forum they are both shaped the same and same dimensions but the similarity pretty much ends there both different weights differnt pups hence completely different sounds controls on the supposedly better model noisy as anything and crackly just remembered one other similarity is that they both have a tendecny for the G string to drop tension when not being played hope this helps

from Chavham

has anybody experienced a guitarer who has had their hearing damaged in that frequncy range by long term exposure to high sound levels? our old guitarist we suspect might have been a wee bit in this category , as he understood perfectly well about getting a good overall mix and sound balance but his guitar was always way over the the top

why would you get your wrists slapped for advertising a very popular product to a very expectant and aspiring customer base?

nice shorts - hope you were wearing crocs too - crocs rock

[quote name='Dropzone' timestamp='1406717086' post='2513995'] Bluffing is also acceptable. [/quote] just make sure you dont fluff it when they call your bluff though

we have done a fair few charity gigs this year as well as the one i mention above - but they are usually where we have been requested to play directly and are the only band on the lineup - some have been for expenses for example one gig we asked for 120 (6x20 each for travel expenses) and some like curry and band fundraiser evening we get fed too which is nice - one of our gigs led the booker (who is an events organiser) to book us for a large corporate function - all in all we have been very fortunate with charity gigs so far but as others have mentioned it is very easy to get on people's 'call up this band they did it for free last year' list
