[quote name='blue' timestamp='1452033444' post='2945839'] Many of us have been saying this for a long time. In The States when disco music hit big in the late 70s, overnight it was no longer cool to go to concerts and see live bands. Blue [/quote] Except in the Tri-state area where Twisted Sister were continuously breaking attendance records for an unsigned band.

Can you remember the phrase 'BEA do good cheap flights'? That's the order of flats for your key signature's BEADGCF. To find out what key you are in, cover the first flat, and the next is the key. Just remember that one flat ( b ) is the key of F. If you can remember it backwards FCGDAEB, that's the order of sharps for your key signatures. To find out the key look at the last sharp, this is the leading note, or one fret below the key note (or tonic). So for eg. One sharp F# is one fret below G. So its G Major. Can you remember Major = - 3; minor = + 3? Then you can find the relative minor key. Each Major key has a minor key which shares the same key signature. So for C [size=4]Major (easy because it has no sharps or flats) count back 3 - CBA - and the minor key = A minor. [/size] [size=4]To[/size][size=4] find the relative Major, count forwards for 3, so from A minor - ABC - and its C Major. [/size] [size=4]There's a bit more to it, but you're almost halfway there. Unless you want to get serous with theory qualifications, in which case you need to know things such as when Beethoven last washed his socks. [/size]

Me! Well I'll give it a go if my band become successful I even do bass solo,'s https://youtube.com/#/watch?v=VjOIB12mzQc

Yes

Take a look at what The 'Stones, U2, Cold Play, etc. did for their last photo shots. If you see something they did that you like do something similar.

My custom Shuker.

GAS is getting the better of me. If they do a ' January sale' at the Black Friday price I might be interested again. Definitely not interested at the current price.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1451383632' post='2939968'] Bad news. A bit like Keith Richards, I had almost got to the point of thinking he was immortal. Sadly not. [/quote] Yeah, its one of those RIP's you never think you'll read. Saw them on the Alice Cooper\Joan Jett tour. They were loud* and awesome. [size=1]* states the bleeding obvious![/size] RIP Lem.

I'll have some of that :-)

Good review very useful. Can you add to it when you gig it? [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1451035307' post='2937914'] So does this mean we need to work out which bass is best for each particular sub-genre ?. [/quote] Funnily enough, the only difference between Glam metal (as it was at the time) and thrash metal basses, was just the colour. For example both genres used spikey BC Rich types, but whereas bright and day glo colours were part of Glam, black and dark colours tended to be thrashed. IIRC back in the day there was a BC Rich ad featuring Poison & Slayer.

If not for Vernon Reid messing him about, he would be bassist for the 'Stones.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1450962586' post='2937405'] I like both. Maybe do a cross genre - Death Hair Metal. [/quote] Celtic Frost - Cold Lake

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1450133873' post='2929993'] Looking very good. I'd prefer a P neck, but hey. [/quote] Hey indeed. For me P body, but J neck, is the way to go :-)

Does 'medium' scale count as short scale My Shuker is 30" but it has an extra 2 frets Kubicki style. Being a short are it suits me perfectly.

Nice, always though these look good in white.
