When I used to gig my right hand fingers would barely move every now again. It was like one of those dreams when you can't run when chased.

Well done, I dont think there will be many BC ers entering this month. The number of entries in past months have been poor.

Amazon delivered few items in 16 hours or so from the time I ordered. Not bad.

Sounds like me

I've used Focusrite scarlet for three years. it came with free Ableton live lite 9 and other plug ins. I've recently purchased Focusrite scarlet and it came with Ableton live lite 10 free version and more plug ins. It is a basic DAW with 8 tracks. It does the job.

perhaps you could help to choose a picture?

No pressure then,huh? I find that selecting a picture is harder than composing..... Could someone else select it?

Sorry for bragging but do they play fretless or fretted, flat or round. I wondered if Steve Harris is in top 10 @Dad3353 , hence the question 😋

IMHO I don't see point practicing scales. It's not required for my playing style and I'm not a session musician. Happy to play by ear and improvise. I suppose it would improve my electric guitar solos, but this is for another topic.

who are the top 10 bassists and top 9 drummers?

Are they good for metal? @T-Bay

A pair of leopard spandex trousers

they growly..they're curvy..they're relic'd heavy..slim neck..big bottom end...mid range..

you name your car?😮

I don't mind punk. My first ever band we played punk. Two years back I started recording the songs we composed. Long forgotten songs....

I had a listen and I'm not an expert in recording or playing in a band in any shape or form. But the whole band reminded me of a festival band playing a day gig on a windy day by a beer tent where the sound disappears in the vast opened space. The vocals need backing vocals IMHO. The snare could do a bit reverb and the guitar pehaps a bit less reverb. The bass sounds a bit nasal.

IMHO a reasonably priced computer/ laptop will do. Windows cheaper than Mac. you need at least 4gb RAM PC. If you record only bass £80 buys you Focusrite Scarlet solo that comes with free DAW and pkug ins.

laptop £300 interface £80 comes with free DAWx2 and plug ins heaphones up to £50 microphone £90 microphone cable £9 microphone stand £14 decent bass amp up to £250 Bass VST plug in £100

+1 the above. Under £500 (minus the amp) or less if you get second hand. DIY, avoid travel time/ expense. You can lay your ideas on a track whenever you want....and it's more fun.

The guitar programme was better than bass IMHO.

yep, recording it.

There was a wrong link under my post above when I logged in just now. It was titled as Silicon Cowboy with a link to a song I did not compose. Strange! The song, however , in the voting thread is correct.

I use combo but I think you could use any head for metal. Surely combination of the bass used and correct settings you can get close to tge desired sound?
