I've an Orange Terror and never had this  problem (though I do play with a pick). I'd get the amp checked before you invest in a new amp. Unless you're looking for a sound different to what the Terror offers?

Joey played drums and guitar on the first album and they had someone join to drum on tour. Can't remember if he drumed on the second album or not.

It may shock some to learn, but the original Damned rhythm section of Rat Scabies and Captain Sensible used stage names! There real names were Chris Miller and Ray Burns.

I like the stage name Awesome Wells.  I hope to get to use it one day.

Motorhead

I am about to start rehearsing with my band. The drummer wants us all to take lateral flow tests beforehand.

Is he being reasonable? 

Yes, he is! I'll be doing  a LFT before rehearsals to ensure I'm not a risk to my band mates. 

I think ultimately, it would be a NO from me. When my band organises a gig where we are sorting everything ourselves, we normally offer kit share. It saves space in the venue and prevents lots of faff between bands. But it's our event. In the case of the OP, I neither want to drop my rig off the night before, or get to the festival first thing and be there all day to babysit my rig through a dozen different bands. I can certainly see the advantage of everyone using the same backline, but it wouldn't be mine!

Love this. Very much enjoying seeing your journey! 

Strange, I was watching some live Madness the other day and was wondering what bass he used!

ive just shared this as well. the wildhearts have got to be the most underrated band on earth

You Sir, are 100% correct.

Obviously, anything by Motörhead - but also....

I'm really gassing for the new(ish) Duff McKagan sig bass. Can't justify spend the money and don't really have space for another bass. Considering off loading a few to raise the funds and create space. I have one Gibson Nikki Sixx Blackbird, and two LTD Pheonix II 1004.  If I trade them in (just saw a trade in advert on GAK) I'll obviously get less than private sale, but also saves the hassle and potential rippoff from an Ebay scammer.  Any thoughts/advice?

One thing to be aware of if you're thinking of using an outside storage space is damp and especially condensation if the temperature is likely to get low in the space. Will it be heated?

Yes, radiators will be installed.

Looks like the wife and I are going to renovate the building in our garden into a proper office and music area. Double glazed windows, and a decent door - but I am still concerned about storing all my gear in the garden. Anyone here have a similar set up? Have they employed any other security measures? I have considered installing a cage to lock my gear in - but I've no idea where one actually buys a security cage!

I'm one of those weirdos who actually likes "Another Perfect Day" (saw the Robbo line-up just the once, at Preston Guildhall), and ultimately stuck with 'em through every album and tour up to "Rock 'n Roll". "1916" just didn't do it for me ("Going To Brazil" aside), and that was the end of my Motorhead obsession. But yeah, hard to believe the "Originals" are all gone (plus Wurzel, of course).

Wow, 1916 is one of my favourite albums. The title track  is just amazing.

It's the same. Good bit of kit. Only sold mine as I got an HX Stomp

Thank  you!

Hi. Possibly stupid question here, so apologies in advance. The TC Electronics Corona Chorus pedal. I know Duff uses (or used?) One. Can't see a bass specific one. Is it the same pedal for guitarist and bassists?  Thanks

I always tried to learn exactly as the recording, but soon learned the drummer wasnt going to play the same. It annoyed me when certain drum fills weren't there or accurate bass fills no longer fit so just played what suited the new drum line 

Paul Gray from The Damned and Eddie and the Hot Rods. I love his bass lines and he so rarely gets a mention. Seems like a really nice chap too. 

Ali McMordie from Stiff Little Fingers. Original bass player who stayed untill they split. Came back when they reformed but left a few years later and was replaced by The Jams Bruce Foxton. Bruce stayed for about 15 years (I think) and when he left, Ali came back.

I had to chase them down through Facebook, but my amp arrived today. A week since ordering, but an absolute bargain.

I bought an Ashdown combo Fri night. Recieved a confirmation email and nothing. Sent an email yesterday morning which bounced back, phoned and was told they would call be back in 30 mins. That was 23 hours ago....

Anyone actually recieved their order or any further correspondence? 

Thanks in adv

Assuming they still do the NM, can’t you just order one from Fender? 

Unfortunately you can't by the neck directly from Fender.

Sorry if this is wrong place to post

Does anyone of any companies who make necks to the same spec as the Nate Mendel sig bass? It's the perfect middle ground btween a jazz and a standard P for me, and I want to put one on a home build. 

Thanks

Hi

 Does anyone know where I might get a new neck with the exact profile/demensions of the Nate Mendel sig bass? Doesn't have to be Fender, could be another company making that profile.

Thanks in adv.

Apologies if this is a frequently asked question, but as the bsnd are unable to record, we want to try some home recording. Guitarist sends his idea to the drummer who adds via electric kit, he forwards on to me to add bass and then i forward to singer! Can anyone recommend a laptop (not Mac) and software??

Thanks in adv
