I do like a bit of Thunder and the CD is excellent!

erm RHCP City of angels? It scans right if I sing it in my head but thats not how I recall it from the song.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1423964027' post='2691064'] So many albums to choose from, so little time... For me, the band is Focus, and I'll plump for Focus 3. [/quote] My Dad had Focus 3, got hooked back in...oh 73?. When I moved out I took it with me..still have it, double album on vinyl...brilliant stuff

And they're off!!! meanwhile Oopsy skulks off the the Barefaced website.........

Has anyone mentioned Green - Steve Hillage yet? Glorious

The one album that turned my young self away from pop music and opened up whole new vistas....I give you Tubular Bells!

Andy just took my Epi EB3 off me, and, after I decided to have a ride out to deliver as I don't trust couriers, he even bunged the the price for the courier on top of what I asked.... AND he bought the coffee! A thoroughly decent chap, you can trust this man

Its for sale if ya want it Lozz........ Thanks Andy for the write up, was a nice trip out on a sunny day. Its always good to meet up with fellow low end freaks, especially when they buy the coffee!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1423358155' post='2683974'] Well I now have Oopsdabassists spare Jazz which he`s kindly lent me, so will report once I`ve done a good rehearsal with it. [/quote] Very welcome mate, sorry about the missing 'G' string (insert yer own jokes) Great gig last night, killer tone and I mean that most sincerely, 2nd set was rockin hard!! I think wee Ross was struggling with your long strap for his guest slot though, the bass was almost on the deck!!

Yup...the wry smile gives it away, thats what I do too!

Do any of you fine fellows play in, or know of a jazz combo in Cornwall, a friend of mine is looking for a band to play for his father's 83rd birthday but doesn't really know of anyone in the area. Cheers Oopsy

Another barefaced convert yay!! Oh and Lozz I have a black MiM jazz if ya wanna have a lend to play around.

well there is always airkix in MK right next to the exscape with indoor skiing http://www.xscape.co.uk/milton-keynes/concessions/sno-zone and just opened the 4d cinema experience http://www.xscape.co.uk/milton-keynes/news_and_offers/4d-arrives-at-cineworld-mk-2022 and OFC there is always ther concrete cows to go and laugh at! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_Cows

I'm confused... you want to beef up your backing vocals, what difference does playing chords or notes make?...unless your mic picks up your bass and confuses the device? I have a Boss VE20 to help with our BV's its useful for me as I usually sing flat and it 'autotunes' me (sorta) at the same time.....never had any feedback issues with my bass though. I use an upper 5th and a lower 3rd setting which thickens up my voice really well.

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1423169967' post='2681827'] I could never get the bassline right that plays under the guitar solo on Are you gonna go my way by Lenny Kravitz. Not a difficult line but it appeared to be a random collection of chromatic runs with no pattern to them. [/quote] You've obviously seen me doing it! never the same twice!

You could always try an EB3, at least its long scale....and as it happens,, I have a Epiphone going spare...........

My guess is that is what she was hoping for!

Loving that colour and the gloss! Shame its a maple neck though...don't like maple necks OFC that colour probably wouldn't work with rosewood anyway so I'm double screwed..such a shame cos I love that finish!!

That reads like an article about me..control the drummer...check, wear what I like and be happy...check, it goes on..I love it!!

Not heard much of their stuff, but Yup...that I like

The little hiccup everytime she breathed in grated on me quite quickly, apart from that it was a quirky little song. wow 3 Q's in one sentence!

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1421063659' post='2656640'] Thats a lot of time to prepare, how'd it go ? [/quote] [quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1421064225' post='2656650'] PMSL :-) [/quote] I snorted so loud I got dirty looks from the girls at the other end of the office!!

At Fox and Hounds in Stony Stratford friday night, just after Xmas, was expecting it to be quiet, and halfway through 1st set wasn't disappointed, then we hit a new (for us) Stones number and people started streaming in from the other bar and the place rocked until we finally got glared off by the management for overrunning! great night and another return booking...I LOVE that place!

Its a bit quiet around Amersham/Chesham as I recall, unless things have changed in the last couple of years.
