Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick. The first time we played it I had a horrible moment of onstage terror halfway through the prior song, but it went OK in the end. We couldn't really hack it convincingly though, so it got dropped after a couple more performances.

Hat's off to you Sir, I can't even play it in my front room under no pressure, I gave up just not good enough even after 17 years of playing Bass lol.

Classic Tune.

I've tried and tried with this album and I still I can't see what people rave about. Is there a backwards subliminal message saying 'mention this at dinner parties and other guests will think you're really good at music'. 

Please tell me. 

Put your headphones on chill out to some superb musicianship.....it's a classic.

Black Sabbath.
Thin Lizzy.

Had this on  in the car and was really grabbed by the feel of this track. Can't work out what is making this such a tasty groove? Pretty sure it is mainly down to the drummer, but what is making it special? (of course you are welcome to disagree that it is)!!

 

Love it, sounds great through headphones

Nice one

Haha you're probably right about the meaning, I hadn't thought about that just looked at the dates :), but yeah it's a good offer (one of the rare truly good deals). I ended up buying two of his books 

Nice one the Chord Tone Mastery ebook is chocked with examples enough to keep me really busy...good luck with your two books.

Not a Black Friday deal but I just found this code for Joe's website, it gives you 50% off any online purchase

BFEARLY

I just used it to purchase his 50 Essential Jazz Funk lines.   I believe it's valid until 1/1/2020.

I see....thought the BFEARLY was short for black Friday and get in early...never mind still a decent buy.

I took advantage of Joe Hubbards (Basschatter) Chord Tone Mastery Course on his black Friday deal.....a lifetimes study here.

Thanks for your replies....I thought so, cheers.

Hi Joe there's loads out there on a budget to get you up and running Squier, Cort, Yamaha, Vintage all make good quality entry level basses and a small 10w practice combo Blackstar, Ampeg, ect will all do the biz for home practice best of luck and welcome aboard it's a great forum for help and advice.

Morning folks anyone used the above amp.....100w but only 2 x 7" speakers are they ok to gig with? Got chance of a trade for one in local music store but worried if they can handle a gigging situation, any feedback appreciated, thanks.

Grimsby....only 2 decent live music venues there's a couple of club venues but personally I hate the club scene....used to be great could gig 4 to 5 times per week but gone right down now.

played all of them at some point apart from Mr.Brightside don't think I've even heard it lol.

Originally a classically trained cellist until I watched live after death too many times and heard saints and sinners by whitesnake. 

Steve Harris initially, then Neil Murray, Geezer and McCartney 

Neil Murray.....Class.

1 Bass and quality gig bag, combo, 2 leads (1 as spare) extension lead, spare set of strings and a carrier bag lol.....had a few looks when turned up at auditions and rehearsals, gigs in the past....but made a joke of me been a 'Budget Bassist' always seemed to go alright.

Welcome aboard, it's a great Forum
