[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1338410535' post='1674294'] I don't often feel the need to say this but.... TUUUUUUUUNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!! :) (Haven't played it in years, miss it a great deal) [/quote] Classic song Dave Vader! great for pub gig, maybe too much for weddings and Grannies tho?

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1338378721' post='1673491'] Been doing this for the last 3 years. I do a verse and chorus of 'Werewolves' - Rod does a verse or two of Kid Rock then we fire into the Sweet Home Alabhama' chorus. Few bars of solo - quiet bit with a spoken gag about the williams getting their lighters out - back into a couple of loud SHA's - big rock ending - williams go mental - home for tea and medals. We've noticed it's the only thing we do that gets the blokes up to dance before the women. I introduce it as the 'dead peoples song'. Usual line is - ' Warren Zevon's dead - Lynyrd Skynyrd smacked their plane into a big f**k off mountain - dead - ...Kid Rock.......... he's not dead but he's shitting himself !'. [/quote] Ha ha! I like it Dr Dave, well done!

Just thought of one "Lovely Day" Bill Withers!

Now were on a roll lad's! all good stuff! Dani California works well!

Speed up Fleetwood Macs "The Chain"

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1338376786' post='1673448'] Dump Sweet Home Alabama and play a long version of Werewolves. One of my favourite numbers. [/quote] Ha ha! think yer right ChrisB

Beatles 'we can work it out?"

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1338375850' post='1673424'] How about this - it's quicker than SHA but fits the pattern reasonably well; [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugLwXlpJi6o[/media] [/quote] Being picky here now! something maybe a bit more mainstream perhaps?

[quote name='Ian Savage' timestamp='1338374845' post='1673400'] Kid Rock fully ripped-off SHA and WoL in 'All Summer Long'. [/quote] Like playing the same song eh Ian

[quote name='casapete' timestamp='1338374861' post='1673401'] Bit obvious maybe, but how about Kid Rock's 'All summer long' too? Edit - Beat me to it Ian!! [/quote] bit too samey casapete!

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1338374729' post='1673396'] Werewolves of London maybe? [/quote][quote name='KevB' timestamp='1338374729' post='1673396'] Werewolves of London maybe? [/quote][quote name='KevB' timestamp='1338374729' post='1673396'] Werewolves of London maybe? [/quote] Yeah! thought about that KevB nice one! must be more?

Food for thought ikay! thanks for taking the time.

Can anybody out there think of a good song that would sit alongside Sweet Home Alabama in a medley? Only one I can think of is Steve Millers "Joker" its not same tempo but same feel!

Hi, has any Palatino players or Luthiers out there ever fix or had to have fixed a Palatino neck? I'm looking at the possibility of a removable neck and hoping I can construct a Clevinger type removable neck to mine using existing neck and wondering what construction is used in this kind of joint. Would I be right in thinking its a kind of dovetail joint? If anyone can supply a good picture, I would very much appreciate it, could be nice wee summer project! Thanks Calum

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1337542149' post='1661710'] If you can't fit a small outrigger to it which goes into your body, try fitting a rubber foot on the end pin (you can find various sizes/diameters at hardware stores) and putting a small rubber mat on the stage. Also, fitting a 100mm tee to the bottom of the end pin will do it. [/quote] Yeah bassace I've placed a large rubber foot on end pin, might try making an Eminence type double rubber foot!

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1337604214' post='1662545'] Like [url="http://www.gelbass.com/bass/Eminence_parts.html#steadyfoot"]this[/url]. Don't know if it would fit [attachment=108404:fourstringbass170.jpg] [/quote] Yeah that might work Mr Bassman! quite like the bass waist extension too, like a putter been jammed in the side. Thanks for taking the time to get back to me.

Hi, I have been the owner of a Palatino EUB for a number of years now and have made a few mods on it to make it work for me namely replaced stock pick-up with Underwood and half decent set of strings. I use it as a travel bass and for smaller tighter venues and I really enjoy it. My only problem is that I cant play it upright as it spins and rotates in my left hand as I play and I am almost anchoring it with my thumb. I have tried fixing end pin with a snare drum stand, and various other stands, lassoing the bass to my belt, several attachments and add ons to replicate profile of a real DB, but the only thing that works for me is if I sit down with the bass, end pin out and jammed between my feet. This is fine at least I get a seat but when it comes to solos, its a bit of a nightmare and I'm a bit hunched over and stretched. Never happy eh? If any of you guys have experienced the same problem and worked it out, please give me a shout, shame I really like the little guy and wouldn't want to resign him to "novelty bass" Sorry for long winded story!

[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1336506872' post='1646698'] Just said goodbye to a couple of French guys who have a blues duo (two guitars) They'd called and asked me put down a bass part for a CD they are recording. Said it was something I'd know so they came over with a laptop and an Edirol racky type thing. I have a small studio with all my gear in so in we went. I've just put down the bass to Honkytonk woman, in 3/4 time, and they wanted fretless. About the same tempo as "You picked a fine time to leave me" by Kenny Rogers. They're now on their way to get the accordian part put down Strangely enough, it appears to work although I'm not sure Mick & Keef would approve [/quote] Maybe they were Sinti Gypsies? these guys are amazing! if their adding accordion, maybe going to sound like French MUSETTE, I play quite a bit of this stuff which sometimes morphs from 4/4 swing to Parissian waltz.
