Judo Chop

I've lent basses and amps to my brothers' old bandmate and friends of theirs in the past when their own had sh#t the bed on the day of the gig because I'm a dead nice guy and all, but I used to hate when other bands on the same bill as us would stroll up and expect to use our gear because they hadn't been arsed to bring their own and we had. I had no problem sharing (sometimes it's necessary) if it was pre-arranged, and I've used other people's amps plenty of times that way, but they could f##k right off if they just turned up and started messing about with mine without even asking first. The "don't touch my amp" attitude started after I agreed to let one lad use my amp if he didn't change my controls and used the other channel, sure enough as soon as I turned around he was peeling off the tape and f###ing about with my settings! He saw his derrière when I called him out on it and I couldn't believe someone could be such an enormous cheeky t##t. Why the hell would you join a gigging band without access to your own guitar or amp? How do these people rehearse? So yes share gear if they've asked well in advance or I know them, no if they're cheeky ill-equipped bastards.

My Generation- Limp Bizkit "Hey kid, take my advice, You don't wanna step into a big pile of sh*t" Thanks Fred Durst I wasn't sure until you said that. It doesn't even rhyme 😂

I heard that years ago and thought it was quite good, the video is truly bizarre though

I've got one of those and the fretless jazz bass too, they're both really good basses particularly the jazz!

The Boss OC-3 lets you lower the sound by one or two octaves, I'm sure the new OC-5 does as well. I've got an OC-3 and it stays relatively clean sounding on both the one and two octave settings but it does lose a lot of definition below the E string's fifth fret though, no idea about other brands because I've got no experience with them!

Swamp ash is what Sean Connery used to get if he hadn't showered for a few days.

I think it sounds really good, I love the tone

Nobody's saying otherwise are they? I see people offering their opinions on a topic, some like the post and some don't. Labelling the responses as cancel culture is a bit dramatic.

Look at these idiots enjoying themselves! Don't they know it's illegal to be mediocre on the internet? It's a bit mean spirited to point and laugh at these guys, it makes you seem rather insecure about your own abilities.

Make sure the others tell the virus they're getting paid so it doesn't infect them!

Inti, is that you?

Whatever happened to Nigel? He was quite a prolific poster on here when I first joined up

, Audacity is free and you can import an MP3 into that and adjust the tempo however you like.

That's a good idea, it's too easy to rely on the notes to remember it for you

I'll listen to the song enough so I'm familiar with the structure and can "visualise(?)" how it might be played, then I'll figure out the chords and changes and play along as basically as possible until I'm comfortable with the order, then add the detail as I repeatedly play through it. Personally I struggle to retain anything I've learned from a tab but remember songs easily if I've figured them out by ear. I do think some tabs are handy for a second opinion as I'm figuring something out though!

What the hell is a soy boy?😂

Some people just get a little thrill out of being rude to strangers from the safety of their screen unfortunately, Facebook marketplace is an especially bizarre place though it really seems to attract the freaks doesn't it?

What kind of response was Facebook giving you?

What's the most complex U2 bassline I wonder?

The drummer was the best thing about that, brilliant

She's also very mediocre sounding, musical cardboard breaking as much ground as a spade made from the same thing.

How come if you don't like Kanye you're automatically a "hater" and told you obviously have no taste in music? Seems a bit of a childish response to me, and if he really was as good as you say then you wouldn't feel the need to bury your heads up his arse and justify his clearly piss poor performance last night, because he wouldn't give a piss poor performance. GOAT indeed.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1423595015' post='2686862'] What ? You seriously think that's good ? Edit cos I had another listen, and wish I hadn't. When she goes high, it's very, very brief and clipped. Frankly she's awful. [/quote] Yeah I do

This is clearly not live, and I don't know if it's been messed about with after recording either but I think she's got a hell of a voice. The last minute and a half of this song especially: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=jU9xIDVHpUw
