Not true, our guitarist normally turns up when everyone else does, but he successfully manages to provide no help with any gear. He just sits in the way.

Mabye that is the way that videos have to be, like Scott Devine said on that post he did here about getting income from youtube.

I don't think it would make any difference and fail to see why it is clickbait. It seems a pretty clear thing, it says it is one thing and it isn't, either you care about it or you don't but it is incorrectly listed. I personally don't care, although don't understand why they list it incorrectly. I had one and it was fine. Quite a few people I know would be very annoyed about that sort of thing, so it seems a perfectly valid thing for someone to put out.

Luckily poole isnt a great place to visit so it would be ok!

ah yes, but are they really mini humbuckers

handy to get a bass then as you would need 95 packets of those for free shipping!

What sort of thing are you after?

Yeh, all modern music is all just boom boom boom. Bloody kids get off my lawn. Back in my day we had such crafted songs as 'she loves you, yeh, yeh, yeh'

Except the aria would be what is described as a budget bass. Seems an odd choice, undercutting other manufacturers budget series.

To me the solo sounds like one of those 'how to do a solo like Dave Gillmour", it is has the right componants, but as you say, seems a bit cobbled.

Guess it depends on how many you are getting - the thomman ones are half the price but with £8 shipping, whereas G4M have £2 shipping, so if you are buying 3 packs or less, G4M are cheaper, and if more than 3, Thomman are cheaper.

Not terribly exciting. I did play an aria cat II bass for a long time though, and it was fine. But wouldn't really rush out and get another and they can be got very cheap.

a jazz bass in distressed white?

I had one and it was great. i don't find it an issue it has a single coil, but he is right, if it says it has a humbucker it should have one. It certainly makes no difference from a price point.

That has always been the way with pop music, the majority is bland copies, but there is a lot of decent stuff out there. Same as now, except I think there is even more good stuff than there used to be.

Your not dissing agadoo are you?

They say: Gretsch mini dual-coil bass humbucking pickups That is clearly incorrect. they don't have dual coil and humbucking pickups describe pickups (ie, multiple) that are humbucking, which is a clear enough term. I like him too, apart from the cringy claw thing (which I guess is just his signature), the fast cuts of the audio making things run together. Over a long period of time, the downward inflection at the end of every sentence bugs a bit. But I guess he can't help his voice and his enthusiasm and in depth reviews win out.

Great gig last night. New owners at a pub that hadn't done music for a while, who wanted to see how it went. They had the ex landlady of one of our regular pubs working there, so he asked her who was the best to get in, so she said us, which was nice. Didn't really know what to expect, probably not so much as the pub is a bit tucked away. By the time we were set up it was really busy, and by half time it was heaving and they had reached their limit of people they could have in the pub. People were responsive and obviously up for a good time. Not sure how much of the 'not much music around for the last few years' there was, although there were other gigs that night in town, and certainly most of the people there we had seen at other gigs. Took the spector for the first time gigging and it was fantastic, balanced, comfortable and so clear on the top end compared to a lot of basses. Very comfortable to play. I think it might make its way to be one of my preffered gigging basses!

not seeing any pictures here?

Is it technically a tribute if it has the members of pink floyd in it? I mean, it is less of a tribute act then Yes have been! I thought it was funny the other day, my facebook feed had 2 posts by 2 friends in different pink floyd tribute bands (in different areas), both of whom do stuff from the wall onwards, and a post from Nick Masons band, the only actual member of pink floyd whos group does before the wall! To be honest, although the stuff I would listen to is the wall onwards, if i was in a tribute I would prefer to do the pre-wall stuff. The only problem I had with the track that this thread is about is that I don't find that it is a good pink floyd track, it seems too much like 2 things stitched together. However, glad they had done it so it is hard to critisize when it is for a very good cause. Incidently Portishead have reformed for the same reason

Although you solved your problem, whether it is plugged in or not makes no difference to the effect the pickup has on the strings.

I didn't, although I like to think I have some humanity and not convinced we can establish others humanity based on a music video. I do however fully support the idea behind it and hope it does well.

And yamaha actually make proper instruments as well, not just things like guitars and basses

Embarassment is fine as long as the joy is good enough. And on the plus side, if it had worked first time, the joy would have been not nearly as good!
