Twisted by Skunk Anansie is always fun to play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a804KRsOlE4

Fall Out Boy. "Dance Dance" and "Sugar We're Going Down" always go down well for us. Pretender, Shoot the Runner also well received. Cheating a little bit, but Five Finger Death Punch's version of Bad Company falls into your category!!!

Or you can have the best of both worlds, like this person on our local music scene: http://www.nsechurch.org.uk/ http://www.thisonegoesuptoeleven.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/Gipsy.Eyes.Band Combining Church work and love of music (and he is a very tasty bassist to boot).

We may get a tea break update soon!!!!!

My 16 year old son has done several of these now and is never without a torch (he is always dropping stuff), clip on tuner, a selection of chocolate and some water!!!! He gets by with 1 GS112 and AG500.

Text them all in the morning to make sure that they are all going to turn up!

[quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1399973634' post='2449414'] I think it's sometimes a great idea...you have the luxury of hearing the bass louder than in the original mix and you get a glimpse of how it's played, how cool is that... I'm guilty myself of posting this one...it's meant to be helpful, has nothing to do with my ego (I'm 51 and bald...it's too late for that) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtAUasvmO5s[/media] [/quote] It was useful. Helped me a lot-thanks

Didn't see any music shops, but it's a fantastic place day and night. This might help:http://www.timeout.com/barcelona/music/the-best-live-music-venues-in-barcelona

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Since the 1970's I have used napkins and beer mats as aide memoirs for music at gigs. Having just watched my son e-mail pdf files of music scores, download them onto the iPad, open them on his music reader and change from page to page as he plays using a blue tooth wireless foot switch (all in probably less time than it would take me to write on a beer mat), I am starting to feel really old!!!!!!!![/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He uses an iPad, MusicReader PDF app and Airturn T85 Wireless Footswitch. [/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]For him, it saves having to use 3 music stands to hold some of the scores from the big band and swing music that he plays and it saves space in a small orchestra pit.[/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]More importantly, at 16, it is just entirely natural and easy for him to use this sort of technology in this way.[/font]

And a block of garages, in the middle of Nottingham, from which was produced (from under the rubbish and detritus of years) the most "naturally reliced", but beautiful Ibanez Destroyer bass. I wish it could talk, it has clearly "lived a life"

Not off BC, but once travelled down to a service station near the M25 to pick up a Steinberger L2 (long way, I know, but I didn't want him to change his mind). It was in the original black canvas gig bag and, as we parked next to one another, the bag was passed from boot to boot and cash was exchanged. We then turned around to find 2 police traffic cars behind us who thought that the Geordie was picking up a shotgun!!!!! They were still a bit jumpy when I pulled it out of the bag, for them to see, after I had explained what it was.

Sorry forgot-"Lady love to hang on, played it like a real intellectual"

Door wedges for load in/out

I agree that there is not much mainstream with prominent bass, however Master PJT (15) favours modern indie (Two Door Cinema Club, Wombats, Bombay Bicycle Club) to supplement his love of playing prog and rock bass lines as the bass is usually fairly busy and integral to the songs. He also enjoys the samba and jazz rhythms of the big band that he plays with and he adapts and uses the runs and fills in his own music! There is plenty there to inspire, but as always we look to the past and put our own slant on it.

Done

I couldn't help thinking of John Cooper Clarke!

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1384800629' post='2280914'] "The dog's just been sick..." [/quote] I once played at a pub where an ancient Staffy had free run of the bar and and even older drunk insisted on helping with the set up and sat really close to the stage. We open up with a song to get everyone's attention at which point the Staffy evacuated it's bowels and the drunk fell off his seat and stood in it! He was so drunk that he couldn't smell it. Everyone else in the pub did. We giggled and gagged through the first set before apologising to the manager for distressing his dog. Never got asked back.

I removed the pick up cover and bought an insert for around the pick up. It comes with a thumb rest and tidies the area up nicely.

My JCM 800 100 watt Super Bass amp head and 4x12 cabinet. Bought it new in the late 70's (when Jim Marshall posted out a signed, typed letter thanking you for purchasing). Still on original valves and enjoying semi-retirement.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1374420242' post='2148502'] I think it was a reference to John Bonham, who often wore one on stage. [/quote] Correct-a bowler hat and a white jump suit, similar to "A Clockwork Orange". Did anyone else notice Jason Bonham looking skyward around about the time of the last "stairway to heaven" bit ?
