Inevitable? I'd say yes, given as we all get older, the chances of a fluffed line increase, and we all put it down to 'its Jazz maan'

Worked with some South African guys a few years back, Innocent Zulu was one, and Funny Zumboga, whose accent was so thick you couldn't understand a word he said, even if you tried lip reading him!

Cheap Trick...TONIGHT at O2 Kentish town..can't wait!

Wow there's a turnup for the books! Congrats to 'Not so blue'Jay and 'Happier' Jack!

Just watched it on iPlayer with booze in hand and Vol on LOUD....gets a big thumbs up from me!!....and the missus!

Saw em supporting the Foo's at MK..I agree that one song tends to blend in to another after a while. I can't listen to the whole album in one go either...Great in small doses though!

Outstanding! Proper 'outside the box' thinking

One of my bands have been looking for a vocalist since before Christmas, the guy we have now has potential.......but he ain't great by any stretch

didn't even know we HAD a clock!

Oohhhhhhhhhh! Nurse! My Kinda P...beautiful job!

Had mine nearly 2 years now and its been as solid as a rock thing, PM Chris at Smoothhound? I'm sure he can give you some tips.

Hot and Sweaty on Sat night at the culmination of a week of music and stuff (Stony Live http://www.stonylive.info/pages/home/) The place was rammed, and we had a dep drummer who only had 1 rehearsal with us, he was a total star and seemed to read my mind re endings etc. Totally locked in Only had the 1 SEL (swivel eyed loon) who was tanked before we started and insisted on dancing RIGHT in front of the singer for most of night, he is quite energetic and spent his evening avoiding her antics, she finally went on her arse and stayed there, totally unable to stand up, for rest of set..was still trying to dance sitting down though! We ended up doing some extra songs for encores that we hadn't rehearsed with drummer and he STILL manage to nail em...I wanna keep im!!!!

I've used a Sennheiser E845 for years, I swear it sounds better than our singists battered SM58!!......but only when HE sings through it! http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Sennheiser-e845S-Lead-Vocal-Microphone-and-Switch/4S7?origin=product-ads&utm_campaign=PLA+Shop+-+Sennheiser&utm_medium=vertical_search&network=google&adgroup=All+Products.+Sennheiser&merchant_id=1279443&product_id=6199d1&product_country=GB&product_partition_id=87922610959&gclid=CjwKEAjw9_jJBRCXycSarr3csWcSJABthk073UWB27OqHJQnerGSlXMFt017CJRdsudcgzJwOpziXBoCRmbw_wcB

That is excellent work, very tempted to buy!

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1496392548' post='3310973'] Another lefty-playing-righty here: [/quote] Actually I am a bit cack handed too, write with my left hand but pretty much everything else except play pool I do right handed.......Doncha just LURVE being different!!

Use mine all the time, I barely have a callus on my ring finger!

Depending on whether I play my Yamaha (24 frets) or my Fenderish's (21 frets) basses means the common fret positions are in slightly different places in front of me, it takes a while to get settled if I swap basses and can easily result in stuff being a tone out of whack.....I'm learning to love the panic stricken faces around me!

I get that on my work laptop too, something to do with security permissions I guess.

Hey there, welcome aboard, its a great community here, hope you feel at home

Tempted by the Northampton gig, but I am SO busy this weekend, what with work (bank holidays are busy times) and gigging myself I can't see me making it, GOOD LUCK though!!!!

My musical era is 70's rock and prog, but I didn't start playing bass until my 40's and I was actually learning Police songs when I got into my first band. I'm happy to learn anything nowadays but I prefer rhythmic/grooving over prog widdling. having said that I am still in total awe of Chris Squire and his ability to play bass like that, I just know I could never be that clever, I have tried before now but keep defaulting to 'normal' bass groovin'
