[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1498669183' post='3326261'] Luckily, Ambient comes across as a good guy. Can't see him scoring out Agadoo as a cruel joke!! [/quote] Ambient has already promised to include a Kylie Minogue middle eight.

I'm not a big fan but enjoyed it much more than i expected. As a result, just booked tickets to see them at the O2.

[quote name='PawelG' timestamp='1498652873' post='3326126'] Tattoo removal is expensive and painful (more than tattoos apparently). And if you decide to get a tattoo - in my opinion - it's for life. It will always be there and it's a reminder that at some point in your life you wanted that particular thing. From my experience - everyone has a different opinion about tattoos. Covers, blast-overs etc is a whole other world... [/quote] Maybe I should have put one of these 😋

[quote name='PawelG' timestamp='1498639877' post='3326003'] Find an artist who's good with lines and talk to him.

[/quote] They are impressive. Tattoos are for life??

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1498645542' post='3326056'] If you can let me know how much of the song, I'm guessing just an excerpt? I can do it in Sibelius. [/quote] Thank you, that would be great, I'll pm you

Ok, so without wishing to get into a big tat debate, I fancy getting a bassline tattoo or two, as a score in the bass clef. Trouble is finding what I want. Ideally, I'd want Duran's Last Chance On The Stairway and also Simple Minds' Colours Fly And Catherine Wheel. These, unsurprisingly, don't seem to be commonly available as scores. Any idea how i could either find them or create them in a suitable form to tattoo?

I think this is truly beautiful. https://youtu.be/vM4glPisJo4 I'm also a big fan of the variation of tone in this https://youtu.be/D-MqOga7iN4

Like many on here it seems, I used to think I couldn't do BVs and play bass but then I found I could after some practice. It's always the rhythm that I need to practise, the harmonies aren't such a problem. With tricky ones, I slow it right down and approach it mathematically to pinpoint how the vocal rhythm fits into the bass rhythm. When you get it right, it's great fun. I much prefer the tracks I sing on.

This was quite fun to watch. He really should have played bass too though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CML3gkL-6N8

Duran Duran - Rio Simple Minds - New Gold Dream Every part of every instrument in every song. Two very well produced albums which allow you to pick out so much of the individual parts.

One of those pleasing but disappointing gigs. We really had our backs to the wall with sickies from our sound guy and guitarist at the last minute. So we were mixing ourselves and had a dep guitarist we met on the night. In my book we were well below par and had a limited set based on what the guitarist could play. However, we pulled it off and didn't let the venue down (which is always vital to us no matter what problems we have). The disappointing bit was that the crowd still loved it and had a great time - which doesn't say much for how highly we value the hours of practice and being tight with our normal set up! Really, though, it's always nice to pull off a gig when having lots of problems behind the scene so all was good.

[quote name='Staggering on' timestamp='1482504754' post='3201137'] After two days of use the G10 transmitter began to work perfectly or not at all and the LED on it would flash green indicating an electronic(vs mechanical) problem but only with the EUB,it was OK with BG.I checked the Line 6 site and some forums and found that a few other people have had this problem-works great and then dies.Since I was planning to use it at gigs I need something that always works and that I don't need to worry about I returned it for a refund instead of a replacement.As I said in earlier posts,the convenience and sound were great but I don't feel I can trust it so it's back to the cable for my gig today and perhaps another foray into the wireless world in the future.From what I have read most people have no problems with the product but after my experience I don't have confidence in it. Too bad,it was great when it was working. [/quote] That's a shame to hear. Mine has done a hundred or so gigs without any problems. Hopefully you can find a solution that you're happy with as once the freedom of wireless is felt it's hard to go back.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1482183673' post='3198329'] I've seen some footage of Chad drumming for Baby Metal (very funny), was that for a full gig to cover man flu ridden drummer I wonder? [/quote] Yeah, Chadmetal came on all dressed up and played drums for their last track plus a cool version of Breaking The Law. I must say, a very cool band they were indeed.

So they were pretty good last night. Played very tight and a good sound. Was hoping for some more early tracks and the set was a little short but still was a very good night. Babymetal were absolutely brilliant - so much fun and backed by an uber tight metal band.

When it's a diddy as opposed to a did on the top note, I tend to use thumb for the bom and middle then index for the diddy. Means I don't always have the attack on the bom that I'd like but it gives a comfortable hand position and makes the diddy easier.

I'm going to see them on Sunday. Getting well excited now!

As a general rule, the more you move and the more fun you look like you're having the better. On stage, I try to model what I want from the audience. Can't expect them to jump around, laugh and have fun if I'm not. I typically go over the top and it rarely fails to amuse the audience which then gives them good memories and an excuse to engage with us.

On the rare occasions that our drummer loses a beat we always go with him. It's more noticeable for the drums to change than the rest of us, so where he goes we go. Fortunately, 99% of the time he's on the money.

Jumping Jack Flash has become our default opener. It just worked its way there and seems to go down well.

Well done. You'll never look back.

I learnt by playing along to records, mainly Duran Duran. Then I got a good instruction video (YouTube would be the thing nowadays) which was good for technique as I could watch and copy other players.

I regard myself as average although I quite often get compliments saying that I'm good. However, compared to many I know I'm definitely nothing special. I'd certainly like to get better and always like challenging myself with new stuff. The others in my band are all better musically than I am which is a good incentive to try and keep up.

My parents are both outstanding musicians, far better than I am. I really wish I'd kept up my theory lessons. But it was good always having music in the house and I passed various grades on piano and trumpet. I then rebelled against having lessons and gave up for a couple of years until I got my first bass.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1474389726' post='3137619'] I have just started this as we are going to be doing it. I assumed it was going to be easy, but I didn't realise the chorus part was like it was, and although I play it fine on its own, along to the music, the run down misses notes playing it with something else. I use my pinky, but then I always do - I don't have a great stretch. Luckily I do like the song! [/quote] I love playing this, mainly because of the bassline. I play it on a 5er and it's fairly easy fret wise. I agree about Rhythm Stick. I think it's quite doable but I've always given up as it clearly takes time to nail. So laziness would be my reason.
