I think it's fair to say virtually all house kits have been smashed into oblivion and we usually use the house kit. Our drummer has learned to Improvise, Adapt and Overcome
-
Our drummer is left handed so we try to work with all the other drummists. He only uses a single tom, floor tom etc but has to move things to the other side. Three cymbals for him crash, splash and ride. Aleays brings his own snare, pedal, cymbals and a couple of stands regardless.

About 3 quid a pot from the supermarket

Friday night played the Gunner's pub in North London.....funnily enough it's an Arsenal supporters pub. However Friday night it was packed with Hawkwind and Electric Cake Salad fans.....and if i'm not being too bold our band Spirit of the Age and Electric Cake Salad rocked it. Two other bands on the bill too our good friends Lack and Rites of Hadda were fantastic.....the Landlord loved us all and invited us back oh and me and our Gu*tarist drank copious amounts of cloudy cider and made good use of the all night Tube service to get home
-
Mostly asked back.....our gig last night the Landlord said was one of the best live music nights they've had.....i'll take that kind of compliment any day

I have a set of SD QTR Pounders in my PJ with a series parallel switch from KiOgon.....it makes for a good sound

I'm off to see Hawkwind again in May, at the Roundhouse, first time they've played there in 45 years!

Me too Dave.....i'm a massive Hawkfan and as such my own band is called Spirit of the Age -
Used too and got bored with it so only now and again nowadays.
-
On the fretboards i use similar alcohol wipes to those used in hospitals. They can be used on skin too. They clean away all the greasy deposits and then i normally use a bit of linseed oil on the board.
-
I rarely change strings but i do give the fretboard a decent clean fairly regularly.

I used to be in a band that only ever rehearsed and gigged only a handful of times. The guitarist said we had to rehearse more because we weren't good enough.....eventually the band fizzled out because we were bored of that.
I'm now in a band that rehearses when we want and gigs when we want even if the songs aren't polished enough. We record the stuff ourselves using a tiny digital 8 track thingy.....it's laid back and it works. Find a band where you're comfortable bro. -
Lack / Rites of Hadda / Spirit of the Age / Electric Cake Salad - The Gunners London N5 7th April, 7.30pm.....Bands onstage 7.45pm.

Please note that buying a Yamaha is very very addictive.....

Guinness always works for me

The 424x is a fantastic instrument imho particularly in its price bracket. My view on learning a style such as slap is that you learn it on whatever instrument you have. If you change the instrument you adapt the style to fit that new instrument. Personally i would persevere with the Ibanez and get the foundations of the slap style with that. Then maybe if you want the Yam go for it but keep changing instruments in my opinion won't help you learn.

I gig one of these.....the new owner should be very happy with it

Some great replies here.
I'm glad i asked the question as it's definitely fuelled discussion. It's also made me research basses that i've never really looked at in the past, and which i cannot afford btw -
Cool vids. I like your laid back playing style Blue 👍
-
So we all know there are some very sought after, highly prized and similarly highly priced basses of the past from various marques.....
My question is: will there be basses that we buy nowadays that will become the future classics and just as sought after? -
