Covers band, which is an offshoot of the main originals band. Last night was our third rehearsal, the gig is next week. We went through 20 songs, and have 11 more we didn't do or have done before. Still a lot of work to do but mainly just with the arrangements. The drummer plays to a click, so we can time the sets quite accurately without having to worry about gigspeed 😆

At least you've got 4 strings! 😆

No it will be one of the amps.

I don't have the instant gram so can't open the link. But Yngwie shredding on a bass? Meh! Here's Paul Gilbert shredding on a double bass... https://youtu.be/lGm4yTUAgWE?si=39-yzgTlwRW_5JdL

Is there a Toneprint suitable or close enough to the bass in Ain't Nobody? I think it was done on keyboard, so not expecting there'll be an exact match. Ta!

Vortex Jazz Club

You mean analyse their use of melody; harmony; tonality; and use of rhythmic devices?

Like their first four albums. Great stuff.

I use these and prefer a low action.

I posted this pic in the How was your Rehearsal thread. The eagle eyed among you may spot the Elf next to my TecAmp Puma. I took it as backup, as I will when I gig, because this was the first time I'd been able to hear it at louder than bedroom levels. I could have used it for the whole rehearsal/vid shoot, and I've no doubt it can handle a proper gig with my 2 guitar lineup band if it goes through my modified Tech Soundsytems 2x12.

Electrik Soup. Covers band. Yesterday we took ourselves down to Powerhouse in Addlestone so we could do some promo/show reel vids. Powerhouse staff were absolutely marvellous. I used Shuker's 2 and 3 through my Tecamp Puma 500 into my modified Tech Soundsytems 2x12. We were done by 5:30pm then all met up in the pub later. Fantastic end to a great day. Did my mental health lots of good 😊

So the headstock is fixed, all it took was a bit of tape?

Yeah baby that's what I'm talking about 😜 Yesterday's office, Korg clip on tuner ➡️ Ibanez UB804 ➡️ Swiff Audio wireless ➡️ Ampeg SVT + 8x10. It was a livestream thing for Hot Vox Rising - Warchild Charity. The 'gig' was done to camera, on a multi camera set up soundstage. No audience apart from the techs. But they seemed to enjoy it. I'll post some footage/link when it's available. Arrived at 3:30pm. Done and away by 5:45pm. Pics during setup:

Yesterday The Royal Blues, at The Royal George, Soho, that London. It was an open mic night, the promoter actually said we're too good for that kind of thing now, but he gave the band our first gig so we didn't mind. It filled up considerably when we were on, then was noticeably less full for the House band who finished the night off. We had a new backing vocalist. Myself and the drummer hadn't met her prior to the gig, but she nailed her parts. Gear: Korg clip on tuner ➡️ Ibanez UB804 ➡️ Swiff Audio wireless ➡️ TC Electronics BG250 What a difference it makes being able to hear yourself 😆 Footwear: Mfre Bordo Suede Brothel Creepers.

She's a former sex worker too. Plenty of labels to throw around if you want.

And cover your strings in chicken fat!

Had the first rehearsal tonight with a new covers band. It's with the guitarist and drummer from my other band, and a female vocalist. We haven't got a name yet but we've got a gig in May 😬 . We need 3 x 45 minutes of material. Not too bad for a first rehearsal, it sounded pretty good at the end when we'd played through stuff. The drummer was nearly an hour late as he'd gone to the wrong rehearsal studio

I live in that London and would be up for a social Bass Bash 😁

I was getting worried having read this thread, as I had an item bought from the eBay which was delivered by Evri. The tracking said the package was signed by the householder. I was at work, and I live alone. The package had been left in a communal area. Fortunately it was still there when I arrived home.

Wonder how many Directors they had?
