Icicles, bicycles, test.....ing

I'll often sing something to get a realistic level.

That's some lovely quilting there, nice score.

I don't. Outside of gig expenses (rehearsals, fuel, on gig refreshments, etc) my unending GAS makes sure I'm always in the red music wise.

Great sounding and powerful cabs. Have an appreciative bump.

A drum track is another extension of the metronome suggestion, this way he can listen to the hihat, snare and kick drum rather than the guitar parts.

Sad, very sad. I loved playing his lines when I was in a Bowie tribute. RIP.

Ahhh, but which is the best drummer for metal?

I can't recommend the Gary Willis 5 string GWB35 enough. I love mine (seen here stripped back from its usual black)

There is one for sale on BC at the moment http://basschat.co.uk/topic/201599-ibanez-gwb35-fretless-inc-sadowsky-case/page__p__2070113__hl__gwb35__fromsearch__1#entry2070113 great price too.

Great basses, if I had to have just one bass my 55-02 would be the one.

I like the idea of just one bass (although not practical at the moment as I need fretted and fretless) but GAS and ennui are cruel mistresses so can't see it happening in the near future.

I know nowt about upright basses. Quick question if its not too obvious, do leftys string them the other way around ?
[/quote]Most string them as you would expect, thickest to thinnest, however, there are notable exceptions, Jimmy Haslip for instance, who basically learnt by flipping a right handed bass over and playing it upside down. I don't know if there are any other 'names' who do it this way, or BCers for that matter.

"It's much better being an unemployed musician than being an unemployed pipe fitter."

Great line up and as good as the Snake and Journey are I wouldn't want to follow Thunder (I assume they'll be first up) as they put on such a good show. My best gig ever was Thunder at the Astoria and I've seen some much bigger bands renowned for their stage acts. Whoever goes to this will be well and truly entertained.

It looks like a contoured body to me, in which case it may be a post '53 P bass. If it's a slab body, it's either an earlier P or a '68-'70 Tele.

You are all a very bad influence.

PM'd
[/quote]Surely the whole point of BC!

Those bridges have a very MM SUB look about them.

I really like the look of these basses, particularly the challenging, "Sue if you think you're hard enough." vibe.

....'s arse coming over the garden wall (or words to that effect)

Looks like a 54 type P with a retro fit pickup to me, but with Fender who knows?

That's just brilliant. Massive props and other 'hip' sayings.

This thread stole a little of the BC magic away for me
[/quote]I agree. There are some, it seems, who prefer to cause trouble rather than embrace the warm fuzziness of being a bass player contributing to a shared interest in a friendly manner. Sad really

Pics when it's done or it didn't happen

Looks fantastic as is to me, lovely, what a great 'burst and the black pg on it looks just 'right'. It's your bass and you should do what you want, but (you knew the but was coming right?) I'd leave the original finish and just not use the J pickup if it didn't float my boat. Why? Because you never know if you'll 'need' to move it on later and the refin will detract from the potential price you could achieve.

Cool!
