  1. I used to think it was Seven Ender
  2. Thank you - certainly helps me figure the notes. If I wasn't pressed for time I'd have great fun learning this verbatim. It's just I'm a slow learner and it would take me days.
  3. Sadly those are the Bee Gees original version, I'm after Candi's version. But thank you
  4. Have a bunch of songs to learn in a very short time, among them Candi Staton's rendition of Nights On Broadway. This is a little more involved than some of the others and I'm open to a shortcut so if anyone has the dots/tabs/isolated bass recording/time to come round and show me how to play it/willing to stand in for me etc etc I'd be very grateful and would be in their debt. Thanks. Stew
  5. PM'd
  6. Any of this still available?
  7. Just collected a Gator case from Graham, great communications, good bloke, item as described. Definitely a recommended Basschatter.
  8. Please add Dino G to your list Mike and I'll sort his ticket with you.
  9. Cheers!
  10. Thank you.
  11. Interestingly the main thing they were worried about was me being in other bands, the things most in my favour were the drummer felt he and I clicked (I agree) and the shitty amp we used (provided by the rehearsal room) sounded horrible and I was the only one who tried to get a decent sound out of it. The others seemed not to notice or care. So what I take from this is: obviously be thorough and do your homework, but more importantly pay attention to any and every detail, you never know what might sway someone.
  12. I got the gig!
  13. Thank you
  14. I know, I'm only being tongue in cheek. I have in fact no idea how many people they saw nor whether they liked me as a person, I really would like the gig because although they don't play that often not for a great deal of money I love the set list, liked the drummer and the singer has a belting voice.
  15. Well it's 9.30 and they still haven't called. This is like one of those trials which seems cut and dried and yet the jury, for some inexplicable reason, are still out debating their verdict days later.
  16. cheers!
  17. Ha! Yep almost certainly.
  18. So I've been learning some rather nice tunes for an audition and if I say so myself I absolutely smashed it. Fecked up in a couple of places but only another bass player would have noticed. Rather surprised they went on to audition anyone else if I'm honest, perhaps they want someone less modest and good looking. It was at the grand old age of 54 my first ever audition, I've always either been asked or set up bands with mates in the past and I was strangely nervous as I drove over, which perhaps contributed to me messing up in a couple of places. Anyway, they were nice people and I'm hopeful I might get the call today. Fingers crossed
  19. This forum really is full of the best people. I can't help at all I'm afraid, I just don't have the skills, but I'll be cheering from the sidelines. All you offering your time, experience and practical support, I take my hat off to you.
  20. How much collected? 😀
  21. I'm interested. Let me measure my head and get back to you... Also I'm only in Radstock so can pop over and thrust some notes straight into your hands.
  22. Yeah, where are you? Or if you'd rather not give that away north south east or west?
  23. Bass heaven: backing up to a wide roller door which opens to reveal the back of the stage and willing helpers waiting to lift your 8 X 10 from the back of your car Bass hell: Narrow door miles from the carpark. Stairs.
