I don't mind the flat music stands that look a bit more pro, but the cheapy folding crappy ones look awful. I get quite embarrassed when a singer in my band uses one.

Had a great gig last night as part of our monthly themed nights. This month was carnival so we had a samba band to start us off with Celebration suite and then a full choir in for 'Mas Que Nada'. Absolutely smashed the set and got two yes TWO bass playing compliments Only downside was that for the second gig in a row the mic attached to my GoPro failed - aaaaaaaaargh! But anyway,

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1423874693' post='2690087'] my old originals band used to drop a toy keyboard fuled version of nelly furdado's maneater in our set. [/quote] That sounds amazing!

Back to normal now.

Don't believe him! He's just trying to keep all the fun stuff for himself!

That's very interesting Steve - thanks! Do you have any pics at all?

[/quote] I have both of these 'classics' on the "Hits 3' Album - on vinyl!

Thanks for the replies! Here's what's underneath the tape - looks a bit homemade. [URL=http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/chaylockyer/media/Daion%20Preamp/IMG_4229_zpsfplw7wgj.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Daion%20Preamp/IMG_4229_zpsfplw7wgj.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Cardiff is GREAT! Some of the inhabitants are a bit grumpy though...

I'm not but yes it would be an extremely rare prototype that was once breathes on by er, James Jameson's second cousin once removed. There's a push pull pot on the bridge pickup volume which activates the preamp and then there's bass boost pot and a treble pot. That's it! Oh, its 18v

Ah, damn! Did you ever make a preamp with it and spray it black though?

I was replacing the batteries on my 1982 Daion and it got me to wondering what make of preamp I had in there. The guy I bought it off said he had owned the bass since 1985 and it was already installed when he bought it. The pots are British Omegs so I would think the whole unit is British - but what? Anybody recognise it? (I know, it doesn't help that part has been sprayed black, the ribbon is pretty distinctive though) [URL=http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/chaylockyer/media/Daion%20Preamp/IMG_4215_zpsj5frq02b.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Daion%20Preamp/IMG_4215_zpsj5frq02b.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/chaylockyer/media/Daion%20Preamp/IMG_4223_zpshashuw8v.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Daion%20Preamp/IMG_4223_zpshashuw8v.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='jonnythenotes' timestamp='1423248398' post='2682850'] Easiest way to play Sir Duke is by keeping your wrist fixed at your start point, and play the lot using only one octave....The whole thing is done using a tight pattern, and your hand never moves up or down. Some how it looks even more amazing than flying up and down the neck, as even though it is only using one octave, in a band environment, it sounds no different, apart from all the bottom end DOESN'T drop out in the high register parts.. Try it...7 notes and no hand movement whatsoever.. [/quote] Excuse me for being thick but how? Start note on the unison run is low F# and the top note is Eb almost 3 octaves above it. Even playing on a 5 string theres 13 frets between bottom and top. Do you have a video of what you mean? Thanks!

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1423572871' post='2686435'] I think she's a little thin and nasal. [/quote] Yes but what about her singing?

I'd agree with JTUK here, at least for Cardiff at any rate. There is more and more live music and of greater variety than I've ever seen before. Not just venues and pubs either but many restaurants are having regular bands as well as pop up venues and art galleries etc.

"Hoax" on the Westone Forums does them, or used to anyway http://forum.westoneguitars.net/t3460-westone-headstock-decal

Cardiff Castle is great! If you have a definite date nearer the time I'll be able to tell you loads of events that will be going on.

Yes we art ( apart from the ladies) Edit: Sorry Bilbo, misread your post - thought you were asking if we were men - who's Art Themen?
