[quote name='16Again' post='32857' date='Jul 17 2007, 08:38 AM']I suppose it's the Rickenbacker Phil Lynott would have had if he had one [/quote] HE DID! and your right he did use a black ric with a chrome scrathplate, on the video for 'wild one'...He also used one in the video for 'the rocker' but it was a black one with a white plate( I dont know the specs on it but it didnt have a neck pickup and it only had dots on the neck so im guessin it was a very early ric) Anyway again love the ric!

do you mind if i ask how much you paid for this?

that looks Gorgeous!!! love the look of that neck.

a teacher at my school told me about this (also a bass player). He has bought the software and loves it from what he told me.

^^its usually our drummer...

errmmm... who is it?

it is reasonably easy after a practising it a few times...the hardest part is the part after the chorus.

[quote name='16Again' post='30981' date='Jul 12 2007, 10:55 PM']Thanks bassboy, i cant talk about my rickenbacker, i get too excited!! I was going to change the scratch plate on the fender to a black one but now that i've seen it properly,i think the all white looks real nice. i'll get a badass bridge for it. D.[/quote] yeah rickenbacker is my dream bass... The white looks better than a standard black one (you see to many of them) Tort pickguard would look nice on it 2!

That Ric looks Fantastic. The white on white looks really good on the precision!

thats very very very nice !!

if i had the money id get it myself but aint so maybe someone on here might??

yes that is the one!!

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='29231' date='Jul 9 2007, 06:47 PM']Take it out of the gig money at one gig and it's paid for. It'll more than pay for itself in the long run.[/quote] Yeah we are gonna do this weve got enough money to go in to the studio now Were just waitin as were in a BOTB which one of the prizes is studio time so were gonna hang one!

Gas means - gear accusition syndrome or sumat like that. It means you really really want a bit of gear. Ive got a mex jazz bass and its great. I really like the thin neck and the tone of it. Ive also got a harley benton music man copy (only a budget bass) but even so it has a lot fatter/ punchy sound. IMO jazz basses have quite a thin clangy/gritty sound but can also have a very smooth funky sound. Whereas precision basses and Music men etc have quite a full punchy beefy sound. But hey thats only my opinion other people may think completely different. Its really all about what suits YOU. Go to a shop and try a bunch of basses and see what suits you. Have a look around the internet for ones you like and go and try em out.

s u y i think right m8 were trying to run before we can walk... The only reason i rang the venues was because the guy that books us at a pub recommended we give them a ring and give us their numbers.

[quote name='The Funk' post='29202' date='Jul 9 2007, 05:46 PM']Promoters don't charge - they take all the money.[/quote] What do u mean...i know they will atke money outta the gig but what do u mean all? dont u get paid with a promoter?...not saying that we have to get or anything i just thought you did

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='29191' date='Jul 9 2007, 05:31 PM']You doing originals or covers?[/quote] Both...at the moment were playin pubs so covers are needed but we can play prob about 30 mins set of our own stuff at the mo...but were still writing. Ive just bin on the phone to the birmingham Irish centre and they gave me the name 'Arthur Tap' but no number. Ill have a look on the venue myspace's now. Do they usually charge and how much would you say is a good price? The only problem we have is that we havent got any recordings...we have got videos but were still looking for a way of getting it recorded

Ive been ringing around a couple of different venues in birmingham and wolves and basically im gettin the same answer every time...'you need to do it through an agent' basically i was just wondering how do i go about getting promoted im guessing we play as many gigs as possible and just try and promote ourselves as much as we can... but iv got a couple of questions: Do promoters usually approach you or is it advised to drop them an email? Do they cost generally and how much? What should i do to draw attention of any good promoters?... and does anybody know the names of any good ones in the midlands area? Thanks Alex
