Oh we did and always would. Bad organisation on their part isn't my problem.

Oh in that case.....Rupert

Very strange gig on Saturday. Booked to play an officers mess mess christmas do, the usual happens , everything overuns and we end up doing 50 mins rather than 2 hours. Makes one wonder why events book a band when the puinters don't care and are quite happy with a disco...ahh well I'll take there money.

Location/Venue: Thmas Lord Audley 5th Year Christmas Party Your age: 15 Your bass: It must have been the schools Marlin Your amp: god knows The set list: From memory I think we played a selection of Jam tunes...Butterfly Collector was one of them the others are lost to the mist of time

I've never played footloose using open strings (well only the E on the run)...I'll try it, although muscle memory will probably bugger me up.

Bugger...although it isn't Marcus Miller

Does a signature count ;-)

I've had a coupole of experiences as a player. I had a string go on me very early in my playing 'Career', so off course no spare set and no spare bass. Luckily it was only about half a mile form my house, so carrie on until the break and then legged it home for the spare. My TC head decided to go bang mid gig, only way around that was DI into the desk (luckily I had my B3 with me). From that day forward I've carried a spare head, in fact being a sensible bass player I carry spares of everything...just in case. My most athletic exploit was while engineering at a local venue. The band used wireless mics, and mid gig they started cracking up something rotten. I tried everything to put it right but to no avail, when it suddenly struck me that the stage snake had looked a tad dodgy while I was setting up. Of I dash across the venue, up onto the stage and pulled the XLR board off the wall. Where the board had been fixed, the snake was bent at a rather unfortunate angle buggering up the cables inside. Everytime the lead singer jumped up and down the snake was bending (where it was resting on the floor) and 'breaking' the cable. With the board put safely out of the way the break ups stopped....I did get some funny looks from the band though.

You'd have to do a damn site more than that to offend me :-)

God damn, I hadn't noticed that. Well spotted.....life as a lysdexic is a bugger

Lucky, lucky man

Have we met?

In gimp to get one image onto another image do the following: Open image A and copy In image B paste as a layer this will then paste A on top of B, you can then manoeuvre A to it's final position. This video explains the principle:

I can also heartily recommend Gimp, I've been using it for years for design work. Much cheaper than Photoshop as well ;-)

Now I face a dilemna.......I want to like this post, but am unsure if I should

I'll like yours if you like mine...... I see a black market forming

If you find the sidebar as issue, and you use chrome, then you can add the plugin 'CSS and Javascript Injection' When on the site activate the plugin and add: #ipsLayout_sidebar.ipsLayout_sidebarright, html[dir="rtl"] #ipsLayout_sidebar.ipsLayout_sidebarleft { padding-left: 20px; display: none; } to the CSS tab (in image below. Now everytime you visiti the site the main body will be full width and the sidebar will not be displayed.

The age old problem is that these things are subjective. Also change is hard, change management is even harder. My subjective opinion is that the design is cleaner, clearer and easier to read

Yep, looks the nuts, well done to all involved. I know exactly how bottom clenching a system migration can be!

My MK500 head (http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amp/18/Legacy/89/MK500/) I still cry at night over that one.

Blimey, that's an attractive lump of wood

Yep, First 'Halloween' gig for me for a few years on Saturday night, apparently it's a fancy dress thing. The No1 music pub in a local city, so should be interesting.

Much the same, playing with a pick just feels so alien. I've tried, but I've never been able to attain the same speed as I can with my fingers. Maybe it the old adage "Practice more you numpty"

Started with a standard P, moved onto a P/J and now pretty much play exclusive J. I can't tell you what it is about the J I love (so I'm pretty useless to this tread). I played my P/J for years, my go to, number 1 bass. Then the good lady her indoors bought me a Flea Jazz (after I'd played one and told her how nice it was). I was thinking it would be a nice spare, maybe use it for a couple of numbers, but used it the night I received it and have never looked back. I feel a bit sorry for the old Number 1 (as sorry as you can feel for a lump of wood and wire), but I'd never get rid of her.
