Pinterest. I have a Google mail account which I never used, except to set up my Google account on my phone. I decided to use it the other day and had to delete hundreds of emails from Pinterest. I vaguely remember signing up to it a few years ago for something. But for at least the past 2 years I've never even visited the site.

You have to have a signed note from your significant other to say you're allowed to look at items for sale.

That's the same one I posted on the last page, but for some reason when I post a YouTube video on here it will only post a link instead of embedding the video.

Does it give you tone wood?

I've emailed them to tell them I've responded by PM.

........ And we have a drummer!

Ok. You're on bass. I'll play rhythm guitar.

Yup. I have no problem with that whatsoever. That's exactly the kind of thing that boils my p#ss. I think I'd fit in that band perfectly. Are they called "The Pedants"?

I saw this posted on Instagram recently and it was being lauded by the bass worshipping masses. I find it utterly ridiculous! It's like a bad comedy sketch. When I say I can't stand bass solo's, this is precisely what I my mean. It's utter gash. https://youtu.be/Uu-bjr1leM4

That looks great. Superb work. 👌

You could well be correct. But it's a genre I can't stand, so the chances of me ever listening to a psychobilly band long enough to hear a solo is pretty slim. 😆

Wow! 😮 The queue at the bog must have been massive!

I think maybe there is some miscommunication as to what constitutes a bass solo. What you are describing sounds fine. I have absolutely no problem with the bass taking a lead or melodic role in context with what the rest of the band is doing. What I can't stand is the bass literally playing on it's own noodling away for the sake of showing off. It's pretentious and generally sounds utter crap.

No. But it's not as good as the one above because it doesn't have a picture of a poop 💩. 😆

I've never yet heard a good one. The nearest thing was probably Anasthesia (Pulling Teeth) by Cliff Burton of Metallica. And the only reason that kind of worked was because the drums eventually kicked in and carried the second half of the song. All this noodly doodle honky jazz, ala Jaco shite is total noise pollution to my ear. Of course this is just my personal opinion totally based in my own taste (or arguably lack thereof) but apart from an intro, or a short (4 bars max) break mid song, which can be really effective and sound great in context, the bass should never be used as a solo instrument. YMMV

I suppose it depends on your level of professionalism and whether or not you're doing covers and trying to directly emulate a specific band or sound. For normal weekend warrior pub bands I think it's rather pointless and just an excuse to buy more gear. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 😆

Flatly refuse. Bass solos are just sad. They're right up there with drum solo's on a list of things nobody wants to hear. Except maybe the bass player and drummer. If I'm in the audience that's the point at which I go to the bog or the bar.

Dinosaurs and d#ck heads. Like a lot of things "rock n roll". It may have been seen as acceptable once upon a time. Now it's just sad.

I can never find a pick when I want one. I've never yet managed to lose my fingers.

What a total skank! If this had been a man p#ssing on stage there'd be outrage, and most likely prosecutions and fines for public indecency.

Yup. I have exactly the same problem and mentioned it in another post but nobody else seemed to have it. I power my ms50b from my Harley Benton Airborne Pro power out. But it's still there if I use another power supply or even on batteries. So I've ruled out it being the power supply. I've also used it with cables to rule out the wireless system so it's not that either. it's what I can only describe as a high pitched whine. I've found the only way to make it even bearable is to turn off the tweeter and dial the treble back on the amp.

Good lord! It's that seriously what a pint costs in the UK these days? I can have two whole nights out for that! 😳

Paywall. Probably a good thing.

Pubs pay bands? 😳
