The Brits, like the Oscars, should both be about celebrating their respective art forms. Unfortunately all they have become os one person telling another person that another person is better than them. Without any reasoning. Why anyone would bother with this kind of awards is beyond me. Now, that Abe Simpson shouting at a cloud cartoon would be perfect about now!

Thats the exact look i went for last week. But with a red thin tie and black leather jacket. ....and a lot less skill.

Brilliant!

Why was the crowd full of bloomin footballers and tv celebs? Complete garbage. Youd have thought it could have been full of musicians for a start! Holly & Phil - cant stand them. What on earth have they got to do with anything to do wih the Brits??! ...... and who in the wide wide world of music should we get to present an award?.... hmmmm i know .... lets get Harry Kane!! and the Brit School pit next to the stage every year says it all.

The Brits is always a fine example of why i gave up djing.

Yeh, loving the music. What a player John is. We are kind of doing the Kind of Magic tour look - hence the black fender p.

That looks cool, but id like to see in the flesh first before buying anything.

Ive got one on order! Couldnt find one identical but took a pic of hilda and having it printed!

No such luck! My hair went years ago!

Haha! My legs are even worse than his! Wouldnt wish that on the crowd

Cheers. One thing i remember about my precision is it had a gloss sticky neck, whereas my bb is silky smooth which makes it easier to play. I'll keep my eye out for some mx precisions.

Hi all, Im now in a Queen tribute band and as we are getting better and more well known im now starting to look at Johns basses for more authenticity. I currently use yamaha bbs as i love them to bits. I can get any sound i like, theyre easy to play and sound great. Ive previously had a usa precision years ago and the yamaha bbs neck width, neck material and finish and size suit me much better. With there being a million fender precision models out there, are the any black fender p basses that are similar to the yamzha bb's? (or is that a daft question). Also, it must have fender on the headstock, not a squier decal as the more clued up in the crowd etc will whinge and judge and defeats the purpose of trying to be a bit more authentic.

Great stuff! Well done.

Ive just bought a spectracomp. Fantastic. And loading up a toneprint is just - open the app on the phone, press tone print, wait 2 seconds = done!

Walking on the moon is sparse genius. As are: Another Brick in the wall. My Girl. Dock of o bay.

Yep, theres no way the popular most common machine head tuner is the best.

Just a thing we take for granted as the design is almost identical on 95% of basses, but is the standard tuner or machine head a flawed design? Constantly having to be adjusted (mostly albeit only slightly) due to playing, and always getting caught and turned in transit case or bag.... or catching on something somewhere. Are these are flawed design we put up with - or the best solution for the job.

Pick out the root notes of each phrase and just play them to start. The piece then will be correct and sound correct. You can then start to add in the notes that join up when you feel comfartable with them. This way youll work out where the important notes are and always be on time rather than cramming 100 notes in and the whole section being out of time. I did this with somebody to love by queen. It sounds daft but after a bit you start to automatically add in the filler notes and know what is right and wrong with your ears.

Great cheap option - behringer bd121 and spectracomp.

That finish looks awesome!

After all that the shop didnt have one in stock. So after big consideration ive ordered a spectracomp. I like the idea of the one knob so i dont mess my settings up, and the amount of toneprints available. Should receive it on monday.

Id get a markbass compressore but £180 is a lot.

Im after replicating what i use the compressor on my markbass amp for but for walk in gigs which is just balancing the strings, nice volume control and no change in sound quality.

Does anyone know if this is suitable for bass? Is there any tweaking needed etc? Absolutely nowhere near me has the spectracomp, but plenty have this pedal.
