  1. There’s only two of us but she makes extensive notes with chords drawn and such, as I don’t read I do everything by ear so, like you, I record and edit down to the best take.
  2. This is excellent, thanks so much for the tip!
  3. I was going to point out that this was a huge generalisation but then I can’t think of one UK rap/grime artist that I like, it’s difficult enough to find any rap or hip hop free of racism or homophobia but then you could say that of life/society I suppose...
  4. Not sure any of these are rap or hip hop per se but there we are...
  5. At a gig about ten years ago I drunkenly staggered back to my mic and said “We’re about three songs in and I think I may have used the C word a few times”, a voice came back from the darkness “Yes, eighteen times”, it was my boss from work. Could this be a record?
  6. I was once informed that rap was particularly suited to the French language because “All the syllables are the same length”, this may be horse poo but the person who told me was heavily into French rap.
  7. I am hoping to be.
  8. I would genuinely like to try it and, as previously mentioned, if it were 23” and EADG I’d be double interested. Something about the shape of it and the way you are going about building it is just speaking to me.
  9. Are you taking orders..?
  10. Oh lord, playing cards in the spokes held on by pegs, I miss that.
  11. You know what? I need some recent death metal recommendations. Reign In Blood was the last DM album anyone recommended to me!
  12. I used to attend a lot of Killing Joke gigs back yonder and their intro music included two snippets of songs that I loved but I could never ascertain who they were by. Turns out it was Faith Healer and Booids by SAHB. What a front man, what a guitarist, crazy and so sinister.
  13. Just purchased an SRC6 from @adamg67. Top comms, top fella.
  14. A mate of mine had one of these and I was beyond jealous.
  15. I play a 23 1/2 scale Taylor, this looks very interesting and not at all ridiculous.
  16. Ignorance, stupidity, homophobia and racism are still rife and it certainly isn’t particular to any generation, dislike of the ‘other’ is a fundamental of the human condition unfortunately, self awareness on the other hand is a rare thing.
  17. Up until last week I never had a teacher! My idiotic fault for not trying SS basses earlier.
  18. Before you shell out on a five string try a short scale four or five string. I have small hands and played normal scale basses for years, trying a short scale was a revelation for me, should have been playing them all along.
  19. I have only ever seen one in black, although someone on here did mention trying one somewhere. I emailed Jaydee and asked them if they could build me a short scale Supernatural and they can. I’m going to see if the Chowny SWB Pro satisfies the Jaydee gap, so to speak, if not I might order a new one.
  20. I use an AER Basic Performer with my acoustic basses and I’ve seen many upright players using the Basic Performer and other AER combos, never heard a bad word about them
  21. I just Googled ‘ear defenders in orchestra’ lots of articles and products, some of which are quite old.
  22. Me too actually, although it makes sense to me now I had never thought about it before.
