YeastieB

The Yeastie's one gig of the year at the work's do when down a storm. New guitarist and singer were amazing. Upgrade in cables and digital mixer ironed out previous sound issues. People up and dancing and wanting more. So chuffed it went well.

We played I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday on Friday night which went down well even without a brass section. Pretty straight root shuffle bassline but post chorus transitions are interesting.

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro for me as well

Enjoying Kelis at the minute, who's the bass player?

Very sad news, what a inspirational player.

Or was it even earlier...

I use a cut off from an extra-thick Minky Sponge as it is just the right height to fit under my Jazz bass strings. But you can use anything, didn't Tony Levin use a nappy during the recording of Don't Give Up with Peter Gabriel. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extra-Thick-Sponge-Wipes/dp/B009R0HI86/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=extra+thick+minky+sponge&qid=1620504618&sr=8-1

That's just terrible. Wishing him a successful recovery. Thank goodness for the wonderful NHS.

Thanks for that, explains why I sometimes think the B string on the quitar is out of tune when the tuner says no.

That’s sad news. Such a fantastic drummer and lyricist, and an inspiration. Shocked. Such a difficult cancer to treat. If anyone wants to support research have a look at https://www.thebraintumourcharity.org/

We did Slade Merry Christmas last night. I was a bit loathe to do it again after last year as it can be a bit plodding if the tempo and drums aren’t right. But when those are spot on, it’s a fantastic bass line to play. And everyone loved it.

Good one!

Seems to be quite a few new bands on Spotify’s Rock List... as always rumours of Rock’s death seem greatly exaggerated. Didn’t the Queen film do well last year. Can’t imagine it was all due to the silver’s nostalgia.
