[quote name='great harry' timestamp='1386800553' post='2304874'] Welcome from another newbie. It's harder than it looks isn't it? [/quote] you might want to rephrase that !

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1386784420' post='2304527'] I realise that the guy is a musical genius [/quote] maybe if he had the compositional and arrangment skills of vai the improvisational skills of holdsworth the musicality of mike keneally i could go on but you get the point imho etc etc genius and guitar in the same sentence really should be reserved for special cases like Mr Hendrix Malmsteen is a super proficient widdler. That is all ....IMHO etc etc shame about the guitars ... you are right .... that does indeed make him a [s]bit[/s] lot of a dick i hope this helps

soooooo, ive made a bit of a rod for my own back by using the fretless for about 40% of our set list and the fretted for the remainder this naturally involves several switches of bass during the gig what are you thoughts please on ideal/bestest way to achieve smooth changeover is it possible to avoid the cracks and bumps of pulling jack plugs out and in faffing around with turning vol up and down etc which is what im having to do at the moment as a dirty workaround do i need a line selector box or a/b box or something? i have two basses, both passive one fretted one fretless >>>> run the signal through a handful of boss pedals in a chain >.>>> into the passive input on my hartke head ideas please? ta muchly peeps

[quote name='jmchich' timestamp='1386543207' post='2301377'] Removing residue using India Pale Ale? Sounds unlikely [/quote] but true

give it away tis the season of good will and all that blx

apparently they raised over 1500 squid for charity we were on 6-7pm - listened to the band before us do a large chunk of our set list then went on and did a few of them again plus we rolled out a whole load of new covers for us - then watched the band after us cover some of ours

nobody going to fess up to that mistletoe and wine thing?

its a shared drum kit day hope the organisers remembered to put down a drip tray

[quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1386283728' post='2298412'] the residue from that stuff's impossible to get off! [/quote] isopropyl alcohol or lighter fluid also a rag soaked in IPA and rub down strings will really clean them up and give them a fresh lease of life

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1386416101' post='2299818'] fairytale in new york, don't you need a male and female singer for that?, to do it justice anyway. We're doing Slade this year, although I quite like doing Gary Glitter's another rock and roll christmas, at least you don't hear it a lot on the radio lol [/quote] we did have m&f singists thats why were doing the gurly numbers this year i think as we will be without our male singist next weekend

Sooooo what do you lovely basschatterers cover for christmas? last year we did fairytale of new york but frankly who doesnt? this year we will also do the Mary J Blige arrangement of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

saturday morning pre-gig bump

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1385056252' post='2283977'] Thanks Steve - I'll try to make it if not working. Looks like a great night in the making, for a great cause as well! [/quote] 6-7pm is the time mate

bumping our way back to the top amidst the frenzy of dick venom gigs just a thought - wonder are any other basschatter peeps in any of the other bands on this billing?

some people are easily parted from their money that is all
