They did, even if that isn't one. Thats the same song with some girl singing it - if you like girl singers maybe you would like it more, but it doesn't bring anything different to the song.

If that was true, why are the original native inhabitants of California almost universally black haired? Blondes are from cold areas.

Wow - everyone used to have the same colour hair!

If you play a triple neck bass, chances are you need backups as there is no way you are holding that up for more than one song!

I have stood on my 12 step many times, but I have managed to avoid driving on it. Looking I don't remember what I paid for my 12 step new, but I am pretty sure it was quite a bit less than that or I wouldn't have got it.

Currently I don't as I have just redone my board and currently we don't have the songs that need it (as we changed guitarists), however, I still have it and I will use it at some point, its still a good device.

Of all the things my pedal board has had to contend with, a car hasn't happened yet! I suppose actually you will find out and as you have the plans you can always print again. Oh yes I remember those now. I know if the future impact came in cases that size I would probably still have one!

Is the plastic printing good for stamping on?

Did a trade between a bongo and a spector rst in an enjoyable garden party when he popped down to see me today. Thanks for that, great trade and chat - top bloke!

Me too. Who care what the crowd think But it cant be that bad, I always do the encores and they always turn out fine.

I use a pair of 1x12 RH cabs, because thats what i use, I like the sound of them together and it makes the amp at the right hight to put the mixer controls on top. I don't need the volume, the volume knob never gets to the half way stage, its the convenience and the sound.

Some songs can be absolutely made by backing vocals, and in most situations, assuming that people can sing, it is generally a bonus.

Nothing, I have done it several times. Not intentionally though!

Take two basses onto the stage? No, I just play and go, with fenders new play and go range!

On the plus side, looking miserable at a Lana Del Rey gig is probably a more acceptable look.

Until now..

Small change for June, call them if you see them

I have pretty well enough leads and stuff in case that goes wrong, and screwdrivers / alen keys. Honestly i have never needed any but the rest of the bands have!

How is it relevant to the story, no genre has a monopoly of having a bunch of frustrating people - the OP knew what they were applying for, and I assume it is something they wanted to play. I wouldn't audition for some group playing stuff I wasn't prepared to play and as it is him seeking them, I would take that as a given. I have asked to be in a couple of groups playing music that I wasn't that keen on - one I gave a chance as I thought it would be good with the people in the band, and once I avoided as I didn't want to do that sort of music. Frankly there are no modern progressive rock bands around here, so cover bands is what I do.

There are loads of great bands - we are not talking about top of the line main stage at glastonbury bands, just functional bands that actually gig, there are loads of those I have been in a few, and they advertise for people. At the moment we have trouble getting a new guitarist again. There are loads of bands round here, I have been in them in this area over a decade, but we dont' do multiband gigs often, and don't really hang out with other bands, don't really get to see other bands so they don't know us, we don't know them, apart from the drummer who goes to the pub every night and sees bands. There are a few bands with younger people that break up and form every few months, with the same people in different bands, but the majority of working bands round here have the same lineup for years. So yes, I know guitarists in other bands and they are in other bands. If I was looking for another band, I would advertise as the chance of those needing a bass player at the same time as me wanting to join a new band are slight. i have had offers in that time but not looking to move. I guess the scene in London or other major cities are very different than scenes in the rest of the country, so your experience might be different. The guitarist we are talking to know was a bit wary, having been to 3 bands with equal stories to here, including a blues band that changed their entire list they advertised to grunge, a group that had a major argument when he was there and split up and a few other questionables! So my advice is to just keep looking and don't get disheartened by it, they are out there.

Literally his post is about trying to get into a band

Theres a difference?

I take one to play, and one to have in case anything goes wrong.
