[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1483457833' post='3207271'] Pete Townshend. I couldn't remember how to spell his name hence the 'lead guitar geezer'. He was using a pad quite conspicuously. [/quote] [Whooooooooosh!] Right over your head my friend. Maybe I should've used a smilie... nah... hate 'em. Heeheehee. Pete Townshend is one of my stagecraft heroes.

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1483401035' post='3206930'] I am an old luddite and seldom actually click links! (grin) Sorry! [/quote] No need to apologise for your age, there are lots of young Luddites here too you know.

When I sang with the local choir, I'd have a crib sheet with the first words of each song as already mentioned above. I hardly ever used it but writing it out before the engagement helped me prepare mentally. I am not sure I'd have the same benefit from a tablet but have yet to try for myself. I have no real gigging experience other than from my twenties when we made our own stuff up. It was awful and therefore very easy to remember.

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1483441867' post='3207103'] Last time I saw The Who that lead guitar geezer had one. [/quote] I NEVER saw the late John Entwistle use one. What are you on about? Joshing.

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1483438685' post='3207058'] According to my bandmate, he uses a PageFlip Cicada -- I don't know if that model is still in production though. There are other PageFlip pedals and similar stuff from other manufacturers [url="https://cambronsoftware.co.uk/hardware/foot-pedals/"]here[/url]. [/quote] Many thanks Rich. PMd yer.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1483398486' post='3206914'] There's a difference? [/quote] Shhhh! Keep it to yourself, there might be muggles here.

No need to apologise. Cheers anyway.

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1483291345' post='3205965'] Not sure what you mean.... [media]http://youtu.be/QAVm2bWulLc[/media] [/quote] Every time she moved it sounded like someone groping a load of balloons in a bag... Jules [i]had[/i] to play to cover it.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1483381747' post='3206725'] He's a member here [/quote] Much respect then. I knew I liked this forum for a reason.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1483379715' post='3206706'] Hitting strings with drumsticks: a.k.a. showing off. [/quote] Showmanship surely?

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1483377151' post='3206684'] Google "big noise from Winnetka" Nothing new under the sun. When I saw the title, bearing in mind the season, I envisaged a rather greasy thread.... [/quote] The link for that is already in post #1

Fantastic musicians these guys . [/font][/color][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyyp0pgaELY[/media] [/quote] My mate calls it lift music but I just kick him in the slats and tell him not to harshen my buzz. I lost both my vinyl and four track versions of Surprise Surprise a long time ago. A month or so back I downloaded a live performance and cranked it - hard. Lovely noise.

I've got some Tony Levin clips earmarked for later. Thanks.

Thanks.

That is pure perversion. MORE!

Erm, I never said I hated the TR808. I just don't like the dink or cowbellish sound because it was overused at the time. Joy Division/New Order were the model our band was moulded to. The 303 and the 808 therefore are okay by me. The 606 however, is a bit crappy but I own one anyway. I am [i]not[/i] down with the kids. Sorry. I never will be. "hater" that's not meant to be as harsh as it comes across is it?

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1483328798' post='3206250'] No 2. don't post on Bass Chat when you and your wife are drunk. [/quote] Don't tell me you're the first Basschatter of 2017 to be breathalysed and found guilty of being intoxicated in charge of a keyboard. Heeheehee.

[quote name='NickA' timestamp='1480887270' post='3187910'] I shall try to come along. Will bring my Wal and Warwick and hope to try some amps out in return. Double basses too? or is this a purely electric bash? [/quote] Why not? I brought my fretless electric to the Double Bass Bash last October. Didn't use it but wanted to be prepared. See you there?

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1483367874' post='3206546'] Does a lavatory setting give a new meaning to a 'tongue in cheek' comment...? [/quote] You can go off someone right quick sometimes ya know. Hahahahahaha

Ain't no doubt. There are good things going on with Vulfpeck. Lots of instrumental but the vocalist is just the right man to top it off. Love the guitarist's use of vocoder in their cover of Boogie on Reggae Woman too; [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIYLPP-WXVY[/media] The rhythm guitar's subtle but crucial. It shouldn't need saying but anyway, Joe Dart [i]is[/i] Ace of the bass for me just now.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1483353740' post='3206382'] I have a 5 minute slot in the lavatory where I accept handshakes from fans. That way I'm right next to a basin and airblade. I ask them to wash first. [/quote] I've never heard a tom tit called a five minute slot in the lavatory either.....

Sorry Bubinga. I hadn't intended to derail your Topic. I am getting an education in Jazz Funk out of it however, cheers chaps. Now I'm off to explore the Genesis and Brand X stuff anew. I also love Prog. In the Court of the Crimson King still gets played every now and again. My thing at the moment is to try and get remastered surround versions of as much of the pre digital stuff as I possibly can on physical media (DVD or BluRay audio discs).
