[quote name='ian' post='301545' date='Oct 7 2008, 05:17 PM']hi when you buy a badass II I know they dont come grooved does anyone know is it hard to do and how do you do it thanks in advance ian[/quote] That reads like some strange avant-garde limerick.

Steve come round for another lesson (meaning bring your new basses round for me to play he he)

[quote name='molan' post='305774' date='Oct 13 2008, 08:38 PM']But at least I'm planning to go to the Bull & Butcher [/quote] Fantastic! Hope to see you there!

Beat me to it!

[quote name='bassicinstinct' post='304889' date='Oct 12 2008, 04:51 PM']Indeed, and that's the eternal frustration isn't it? [/quote] Yes it is. That's why we buy basses to compensate.

Of course, it doesn't matter how good an act is, without sufficient promotion the whole exercise is utterly futile.

[quote name='bassicinstinct' post='304873' date='Oct 12 2008, 04:06 PM']I'm a "veteran" from the Torrington days too. Does Mr Feenstra actually actively [b]PROMOTE[/b] his gigs nowadays? He always seemed to have "just missed the deadline for the press ads" whenever we worked "with" him. [/quote] I can't speak for any one promoter in particular but that kind of thing is typical on the blues circuit... which is one of many reasons why the gigs are so poorly attended in this country.

Great stuff! Thanks for the comment. Ian employs Eunuchs for his albums. Hope to see you at a gig soon! Steve

Great advice! Thanks!

I would really appreciate comments from PC users using Internet Explorer to let me know of any faults in my website. All links (other than the links page itself) should be white and underlined turning red when you scroll over it. The links in the links page should be white, and all background boxes containing text in the gigs, media and contact page should be nicely proportioned. Thanks for all your help! Steve

Old Git, thanks so much for all the useful info! There's a load of stuff there I hadn't considered so I really do appreciate it. I was up til 3am this morning tweaking things and will spend the afternoon working on the things you mentioned. All the best! Steve

Thanks Steve! I just used a template in iweb on my Mac and tweaked it. Got more to do but I'm feeling happy with it! Steve

Hi Julian, I'm not a blues fan per se either! I enjoy playing with Ian because his songs are a bit of a mixture. The Swindon Arts Centre gig was fun! A very different environment to what we were used to at that time. Steve

Thanks Hamstah! Check out the new website at www.steveamadeo.com See you soon! Steve

Hi Mark, Thanks a lot! Don't know if you've seen it since I added your banner at 3am???? Hope you're well, Steve

Hi Julian, Thanks for the comments. Yeah I remember the gig there. Weren't you playing a gig that night too? I remember chatting and maybe that was you? Thanks for the comments on the website too. It's just a nice simple thing i wanted to do, nothing flash, but hopefully tasteful that would serve a purpose. Hope you're well and send my best wishes to Fraser if you see him anytime soon! All the best, Steve

Hi everyone, Please check out the gig list on my myspace page to check out gig dates for Ian parker, the artist I play for, as we have a couple of UK dates at the end of October and a UK tour in November. It would be good to see any basschatters if we're in your area. Come and say hello. [url="http://myspace.com/steveamadeomusic"]http://myspace.com/steveamadeomusic[/url] All the best, Steve

Hello everyone, Just a note to say hello and that I've finally got myself a website online. It's pretty empty at the moment and needs some tweaking too, but I wanted to get something up anyway to have a web presence and use it to promote my gigging, teaching and bass related stuff. Take a look at my empty web space!! [url="http://www.steveamadeo.com"]http://www.steveamadeo.com[/url] Steve
