do band A (original covers) know about band B (bunnyboiling stalkers) and their antics?

if they did there would only be [url="http://newsthump.com/2011/12/12/simon-cowell-wins-x-factor-for-record-8th-time/"]one winner [/url] [color=#808080][b]Simon Cowell shocked morons everywhere last night by dramatically securing his tenth successive victory in ITV’s X Factor.[/b][/color] [color=#808080]The victory has come as a shock to millions of people who appear to have no idea what they are watching, and who for some unfathomable reason seemed to think victory belonged to a female singer called ‘Sam Bailey’.[/color] [color=#808080]Cowell told reporters after the win, “This is just like winning the lottery. Again. For the tenth year running.”[/color] [color=#808080]“People said it was impossible to win it all over again, but then I pointed them to a format that I completely own, and my record company that now owns all of the acts on the show, and then they have to admit it looks a lot like ‘winning’.”[/color] [color=#808080]“I’m simply overjoyed, and I can’t thank the fans enough for believing in this money making charade disguised as a talent show. Without them I would be significantly poorer.”[/color] [color=#808080]“Sam is quite pleased as well, and will be until she realises how little she actually stands to make from all this.”[/color] [b] [color=#808080]Cowell wins X Factor[/color][/b] [color=#808080]Experts have said that this latest victory yet again illustrates Cowell’s incredible natural gift for extracting money from simpletons.[/color] [color=#808080]Music industry analyst Simon Williams told us, “He’s like a force of nature, and fully deserves this tenth successive win.”[/color] [color=#808080]“Never before have we seen anyone so incredibly talented when it comes to turning the feeble-minded majority into cold hard cash.”[/color] [color=#808080]“To be honest, I don’t see how anyone will ever beat him.”[/color]

they sort of do already - thing is it's percieved as a rather niche environment often for nerdy music geeks unfortunately it doesnt have the instant mass appeal of an ordinary person who happens to be 'brilliant' at singing just because they open their fat gob and a 'nice ish' sort of sound comes out compared to a program full of music swots who practice 25 hours a day since they were three years old and are on their way to a serious professional career in classical music http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/young-musician-2014.html

[quote name='PTB' timestamp='1386918421' post='2306334'] I use a Boss LS-2 which are readily available second hand. You can match the levels of your two basses and it allows a variety of functions well beyond the normal A B box. [/quote] thanks - i was looking at the pdf user manual on the bossus site for the LS-2 and it does look pretty versaitle

[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

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
