[quote name='Stealth' timestamp='1330509897' post='1558426'] Coming up to renewal time for insurance and checking the small print some interesting things pop up with Mu&£@*uard. For theft from home you need a 5 lever mortice on all external doors AND the same on the internal door room where the equipment is stored, [/quote] ......IF the equipment is worth over £15,000. Under that and NO security arrangements are required.

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1330471183' post='1558173'] Withdrawn, but not pulled by ebay. I hope nobody took him up on his call for offers of around £200. [/quote] I emailed him and pointed out that what it was. He replied saying he's relist with the correct title.

[quote name='blackmn90' timestamp='1329917482' post='1549641'] apparently they're doing a 3 day masterclass at the ICMP thats open for the public to buy ticket to! £15 for a masterclass with these guys is pretty awesome imo [/quote] I'm trying to get RWMCD in Cardiff to do the same thing. They've also asked me to get them a gig in Cardiff/Bristol - anyone know any promoters?

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1329814920' post='1547639'] The only time I get narked with the punters is when they invite themselves onto the stage. Partly because it's a distraction, but mostly for their safety. They can do whatever they like off the stage...dance, sing, fight each other...whatever makes them enjoy the evening. We had a bloke strip infront last year whilst playing a Curtis Mayfeild song. We saw a white shoe fly over our heads and when we looked down to the dance floor there he was on display. He had a great night out! We continue to play that song in his honour. [/quote] A Cardiff band doing Curtis Mayfield? What band are you in? In response to the OP, I don't hate the punters for having a good time, but when they just stand and watch a funk band I either think that we haven't hit the groove or they're dead from the waist down!

I saw this - BBC4 has been great this weekend!

I watched the video above and thought 'I don't think this is much cop' but, wanting to be fair I popped over to youtube to check out the full song with the rest of the instruments to see if I could appreciate it a bit more..... Just a bass piece????? Really???

[quote name='rubis' timestamp='1329463786' post='1542737'] If you check his other items and plow your way through the kids toys, he's also selling the neck, £19.99 so far. It looks ok from the pics [/quote] From the listing for the neck: [quote]Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe V Neck. This item has a cracked truss rod thar needs replacing. The neck is also warped and fret board is held on by a poxy resin. [/quote]

Ooo like this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udacBgB6B7g&feature=related

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1328877234' post='1534163'] "The studio we booked this week got shut down because of a drug raid by the cops." [/quote] Was that recently? And was it the one off of Whitchurch Road?

Disgustoid!

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1328818462' post='1533280'] I did a fade out on a folk cover a few weeks ago - I just walked slowly backwards and played gentler and gentler until I was behind the back stage curtain. [/quote] CW Stoneking's whole band do this - It sounds (and looks) brilliant!

RH450 or 750 with a 210, 212, 112 or 4x10 whichever takes your fancy cos theyre all light as chips!

[quote name='velvetkevorkian' timestamp='1327490245' post='1512056'] Maybe try palm muting gently, while popping the note hard? If your pop technique is anything like mine, the side of your hand should come to rest quite naturally on the strings. [/quote] Thanks! That works well and was well explained

Baby Huey's version of 'A change is gonna come' for a new band. Simple stuff but because it's in a slightly different time sig and reeeeeeeeeaaaalllllllyyyyyy slow it's quite tricky and I can't relax into it.

All cried out is pretty cool.

The Boss ME-50B has a fretless emulator which sounds pretty good. Even better when I use my fretless with it.
