[quote name='dood' post='108668' date='Dec 23 2007, 07:00 PM']Gonna have to agree with Bilbo'. I know far more people who play like a bag o' sh*te under any sort of influence in comparison to 'sober'. A playing perspective aside.. it's pretty hard to get someone whose caned all the time to get off their backside, be motivated and be responsible for any serious band tasks. - Which I think is an important part of a successful band, and a good reason why I would be unlikely to do any serious band work with a space cadet.[/quote] This is so true..... we recently had to call it a day with our drummer, great player, creative, but totally unreliable. Not so much wrecked at practice or a gig more to do with the after effects of a heavy night..too tired, too hungover, too much like head work if you ask me.

Well, I suppose it's down to the individual, some play straight, some play intoxicated. I still think the straight player will come out on top.

Yep, knew there'd be a genuine explanation....I agree with Paul H, I'm all gassed up now

Nice one Hit&Run, that's the type of thing I'm talking about Thanks for the input chaps.

Hope this is in the right section. Right, I've been using PC's, software, editing suites, etc etc to practice with and work on covers for the last 6 or 7 years, in fact everything I do these days that's related to my bass playing involves a damn computer and I've had a gut full of unstable pc's and programmes. I really want to go back to the way I used to do it. By this I mean using just the recording, my bass and a pair of headphones to work out covers and practice etc, soooo I'm going to chuck the pc idea in the bin and try and find an alternative. I no longer own a CD player or cassette player, does anybody now of a practice aid where I can just lob a disc in, plug my bass and headphones in and work on covers and practice without the worry of something crashing!!!! Ta very much, Jase. (Frustrated bass player in need of old school practice methods)

Think they go back as far as 95/96, not 100% certain though.

Here's my first, got it for a tenner A Vox Clubman Bass. [attachment=4234:738vox.jpg]

No serious intoxication for me, (learned my lesson there) might have a swift half. if I have to drive home it's a diet coke or two. Dope smoking? nah, most stone heads play sh*te when stoned anyway, I know this because I used to be one but I knocked it on the head when I realised I never did get round to changing those strings man

There's probably a genuine explanation, sit tight for a few days. Did you take home numbers, mobiles etc?

Ha! I caught a good one... Avril Lavene doing Metallica's Fuel. They've done it to Jaco too.

How do players do that, go from one instrument to another? Great Vid.

I'd let it burn for a short while, then get into the relic effect it had, it would have to be my Jazz fretless

Be interesting to find out if it's genuine.

[quote name='ped' post='99862' date='Dec 5 2007, 09:32 PM']My arm pain turned out to be a shattered disk in my neck, so don't much about - see your doc. Not that my doc knew his arse from his elbow, mind.[/quote] oooo that sounds nasty...shattered disk in your neck

Hi Metaltime, I remember you're post saying you had just got involved with a new band, Might it be a case of throwing yourself straight in and belting through the material, giving you some sort of temporary fatigue? I'm not an expert and wouldn't blame you for ignoring my post but.....easy for others to say, try to relax while playing???? If in doubt best see an expert though. Hope it's ok.

I may still have the issue with Mr Sheehan on the cover...somewhere, I'll check and post if it's still lying around.

[quote name='Johnzy' post='98839' date='Dec 4 2007, 02:11 PM']how many of the players out there who dont use a metronome have played a gig where there is no kit drummer, and your are the time keeper? Relying on others is a lazy work ethic, why not be badass yourself? I guess theres not much chance of you guys playing a latin gig then? I do belive we all have an internal clock, our hearts! fast beats get us excited, slow beats calm us. its your heart doing this reaction, and learning to pace this is a skill. the question i want to throw down is do you count time when playing with others. tap your foot? say 1-e-and-a, 2-e-and-a etc to yourself? I used to, but i dont and its vastly improved my timing. Ron Carter has the same approach, "the timing is in the hands". i feel another can of worms opening![/quote] Count? Nooooo I'm rubbish at it, ask our guitarist.

[quote name='dood' post='98779' date='Dec 4 2007, 01:10 PM']Not you personally Jase, but I'm surprised at the almost Marmite reaction to our little time keeping friends that I am getting off this thread and..well, Mr Berlin amongst others. p.s. i'm a hippy lol lol[/quote] No worries Dood, didn't take it personally just wanted to outline that I don't think they're a bad thing at all, just I'd rather not use them
