[quote name='charic' timestamp='1353050610' post='1870877'] I should be getting my win8 machine today so Ill see what happens. Im still curious as to which ie it is though as win8 theres 2 different types. One of which I can see being far more likely to have issues [/quote] Ok how do I tell which it is? [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1353053891' post='1870908'] ....? [/quote] Using Google Chrome I can't comment on Facebook or view pictures and the format of the page os ker-azy.

Played a band showcase last night with Super Chango! and apart from some weird crackly moniter nonsense it was great! We were tight, and our horn section (with brand new trombonist Tony 'Fat Tone' Trombini) are bonkers good!

It looks normal but the return key won't function in posts or PM's

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1352161340' post='1859657'] IE is the best browser to use to download other browsers! - Firefox & Chrome are miles better! [/quote] I'm using Chrome for Basschat but it doesn't work with Facebook or a whole load of other sites, and Firefox has too many security issues for me to download that. Any chance of a fix for IE9?

Calum bought my Thunder II from me and seemed like a thoroughly nice chap. Good communication and payment, no hassles at all. From this experience you can buy/sell with confidence!

How did it go?

Do I Do with all the fills is a good finger workout. Although when I see Nate Watts play it it doesn't look like he's moving his fingers at all!

In the OP I was talking about bass as a whole really, based on what I was told last Saturday (As I said in the post and which is why I stated that as my source and posed a question rather than stating things as facts) Personally I agree with the majority of the posters here in that I don't believe that bass players are going to be out of work - from a personal perspective I'm doing more than ever! I was a bit naughty with my opening post and hoping to encourage a bit of debate and find out if anyone had come across producers mastering for mobile phones etc. 51mon's posts were full of the sort of info I was hoping to see.

We have 2 defitie gigs this week - Thurday in Koko Gorillaz and Friday in The Moon club. We may possibly be playing in The Yard on Saturday but haven't confirmed this yet. If you fancy some funk/soul/latin come down and say hi!

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1352710660' post='1866278'] At the Cardiff bass bash (which was great!) on Saturday a discussion came up about how Pj Harvey's last album only had bass (guitar) on 1 track and how we should record bass parts for the rest of the album as she had 'forgotten' to. [/quote] [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1352714082' post='1866324'] Personally I think it's very presumptuous of the OP to consider writing bass parts for recorded songs that don't have them and were obviously written and arranged in such a way that the composer/writers felt that bass parts were unnecessary. In the (almost) 40 years that I have been writing music, [/quote] [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1352723466' post='1866478'] I'm sure PJ Harvey can figure out her own bass parts if she needs to. . [/quote] Apologies, I had thought that the smilie would indicate that our suggestion was entirely tongue-in cheek.

At the Cardiff bass bash (which was great!) on Saturday a discussion came up about how Pj Harvey's last album only had bass (guitar) on 1 track and how we should record bass parts for the rest of the album as she had 'forgotten' to. Anyway, from this, someone mentioned that earlier in the year 3 of the top 10 billboard chart singles had no bass at all! And the reason for this is that [b][i]songs are being produced and mixed for mobile phone speakers[/i][/b]. Does this spell the end for bass players? [color=#FFFFFF](obviously not but it's a good starting point for discussion!)[/color]

Was great to meet everyone today! Some lovely Basschat people with lovely gear! Thanks again for putting it on Gelfin and Lemoncello - I didn't realise you were Lemoncello! Looking forward to the next one

[quote name='rOB' timestamp='1352324019' post='1861800'] Think I've missed something here. You have fight scenes? Please can we have some more detail? [/quote] This was for a ska musical and as well as playing I had one scene has a security guard in the Jobcentre with one line - "F**K This!" and yes, a fight scene where the whole band pile in on stage - great fun!

Only a couple of days to go!

Do you think the OP has found a solution in the last 3 years?

IE9, I think

Do you have any plans to play Cardiff at all? I go to jam nights with Burke Shelley fairly regularly and it would be fun to go along with him to see you guys!

When I'm using Internet Explorer, I can't use the return key in my posts or PM's. Not a huge problem as I also use Chrome ( like I'm doing now), but I was wondering if this was a known problem?

Last show of a 10 gig run last night and it was great! Still too drunk to type much so will add details later... EDIT: Sobered up a bit now Great gig and we were tight after doing 10 nights in a row, which was good because the drummer decided not to do a count in but just do a single hi-hat hit (without telling anyone first!)..... Audience were well up for it and we did afew songs extra at the end for the dancers. Only downside was that in my fight scene I accidentally connected one of the punches and my hand hurt like hell for the next 2 numbers!
