Zombie - The Cranberries

Hello again

Hiya Andy

VAR call! You'll have the answer next week!

Nowt wrong with that. More things = more things to let you down at a gig.

It's been vagazzled!

Wow!

TU-2, Okto-Nøjs, EHX Bass Clone, EBS Fuzzmo / Chowny Fuzzster, Palmer Bass Deepressor. Probably Dammit! Forgot the Microthumpinator. TU-2, Microthumpinator, Okto-Nøjs, EBS Fuzzmo, Palmer Bass Deepressor.

I think that some people do try to work out what the lyrics mean, and others are just happy for the words to fit the tune. BJ and Cameron probably just said that they liked these bands 'cos they thought it'd make them sound cool, rather missing the socialist message behind the words.

That is a very pretty bass!

For me, they're a bit of a mixed blessing. I find the grades material a bit daunting at first, I have a go at everything, lose confidence, then come back a week or month later & it makes more sense. I've definitely improved from doing it, but it hasn't been a particularly enjoyable experience Have a go - it may be that you take to it, or maybe you struggle abit like me.

My experience is very similar to yours : I'm 44, played in originals bands for 11ish years - that finished a decade ago. Since then I've been playing at home, learning bits & pieces & working through the grades material. Earlier this year, I was asked to run the open mic night at my local bar, and ever since, I've been playing nearly every week. During that time I've met lots of musicians - some good, some not so good - but have had offers to join existing bands on bass. None were right for me, so I decided to ask some of the other musicians if they fancied doing something. First rehearsal tomorrow! My experience might not work for you, but you never know who you'll meet at open mic nights. Good luck with everything 👍

No idea - googled 'Hi' in Swedish!

Hiya Fangio back.

Let us know how you get on. Good luck

If you're after a budget bass DI/ Preamp, you can't go far wrong with this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-Modeler-Guitar-Effects-Pedal/dp/B000KIPUQG/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=behringer+bass+di&qid=1573571483&sr=8-1 Ridiculously cheap, but very usable! I have one & it's very good for the money. Ashdown amps & speakers are very good.

IMHO only... It depends on what sort of venue you intend to be playing live - pubs & small venues, maybe 200 - 300 Watts of power, either in a combo with a 12", 2x 10" or 15" speaker. Same for a separate head and speakers - 200 - 300 Watts of power and speaker cab/s as for the combo. Power and speakers will increase as you play larger venues. However... ...if the venue has a PA system, you could take a DI box or a DI/ Pre Amp and skip the amp & speakers altogether - then as long as the PA is up to the job, you can travel light & let the venue PA provide the noise! I'm sure others will be along shortly to recommend particular equipment. Good luck

*ssshhhh* Don't tell anyone, but... ... I can reveal it's a Xmas-themed head, with gold tinsel for piping & little Xmas trees for knobs. It's called 'The Xmas Head of Gloom'

Snow. Cold. Darkness. Misery. DOOM!!!

G-TEEBS !!! (nearly! )

Do it!
