  1. you wouldn't want to play the half time gig at the Superbowl?
  2. you and me both
  3. usually 4 vehicles. As has been said, not best for the environment, but as we all live a distance away from each other and our gigs are somewhat spread-out no other practical option.
  4. the most difficult programme to edit? Top of the Pops 2. ('..what, him as well?..')
  5. Southampton
  6. Too much heft.
  7. GAS sated
  8. Singing in a drink faux Irish accent is almost unavoidable if you do The Pogues version of Dirty Old Town. Or any other Pogues songs TBF.
  9. Purely in terms of playing, setting a goal can help. Learning new songs for an audition / jam night / open mic / gig etc. Gives you something to aim towards.
  10. No Gary Glitter? someone had to say it
  11. Snapdragon folding bass guitar. Surprising hit of LBGS 2018!
  12. Ooh no, none of that! The finish is one thing, but I'm not having chunks lopped off willy nilly.
  13. More like the kind of thing they do on Sin City Motors, when they strip the paint
  14. 5 months since the last post. Is this not a goer then
  15. none of those look splodgy.
  16. Sort of like when you can see the patina on old worn faded metal...
  17. All I can see is a white space with a 'pin it' box. Android 😖
  18. I think it's because we're a 3 piece (+ vox) that it sticks out to me, but as WoT said, to everyone else it sounds right.
  19. Thanks for the replies. I tried the octave thing, but one of the notes in question, is D. I play it fret 5 on the A string. The octave up is too high, and the octave down is too low. Doh!
  20. So we've got Dirty Old Town down for St Patrick's Day (yes I know it's not Irish). I'm keeping the bass simple, roots and fifths, and roots and the down a fourth (generally minims in 4/4). So if the chord is C, and I'm playing C then down to G, then the next chord is G, staying on the G sounds a bit bare, and passing notes sound a bit bolted on. My question is, what do you do when the last note (fourth or fifth) is the same as the next root note?
  21. let the market decide. Plus if you get interest in certain items, your reaction will tell you how much you want to let it go...
  22. I'd love to have a rant and storm out of a rehearsal. Unfortunately I'm perfectly happy in the bands I play in
  23. there's a Marshall bass amp, and the casing is like a cage so you can see inside. On a dark stage with the valves glowing, it don't get much sexier Can't find a pic though...
