PaulWarning

I find it easier to remove the nut and use emery cloth to rub down the bottom of the nut, and if you go too far shim it with some paper/cardboard, someone will probably come on here now to tell me that's not how you do it, but it is safer, no fret board damge

make sure you get the polarity right, I had one of those and fried it by getting it wrong, no protection against it as with some pedals

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1333327248' post='1600170'] haha yeah he's the kinda guy that gets about a bit, I actually live on the same road as him. I'm with the James Warner Prophecies (as per sig ). I put John onto Paddy and Owen for your video. I've not seen you play in a while though, last time was a bit ago at the Greyhound. [/quote] Oh right, the video worked out pretty well, would have been even better if we'd have managed to play a bit better in the second half, and I'd have insisted on having the bass a little louder

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1333290752' post='1599602'] Paul, are you the bassist in Verbal Warning? If so, I've known John a long time. [/quote] yep that's me, everyone seems to have known John for a long time What's your band, are you local?

the purists might get a bit sniffy, but it is punk rock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKOcdCbWMQk

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1333116694' post='1597707'] Me: "This one's in E Flat Minor" Guitarist: "You sure? I thought it was D Sharp" [/quote] That's not as bad as "shall we change this to E#" it really happened, although to be fair he did realise what he'd said straight away

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1333024470' post='1596304'] GET OUT!! [/quote] marvellous, there's always room for a bit of abuse in punk rock, (it is the Toy Dolls version we do) and not taking yourself too seriously

[quote name='CS2' timestamp='1333022851' post='1596272'] I must confess that not only have I done it, I chose it. However this is the version we did... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG0gl4p2F-g[/media] "And if I haiver whatever the f*ck that means", is my favourite alteration. [/quote] yeah that rocks, bit slower than we do it though

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1333016454' post='1596145'] for give my ignorance but what does IBTL mean? nothing complimentry I presume [/quote] ok got it, not too bad, I was fearing worse

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1333015474' post='1596125'] You were a member of [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydcdQk0RJuE"]They Must Be Russians[/url] and I claim my £5.00 [/quote] for give my ignorance but what does IBTL mean? nothing complimentry I presume

[quote name='AMPEG' timestamp='1332950972' post='1595433'] I'm with you on this song, I bleeding hate it (you know how bad a bassline it has) its always 'wheeled out' to the drunken masses at the end of the nite. I have point blank refused to play despite being nagged by the rest of the band. [/quote] afraid I can't agree with you, maybe you're being a bit snobby?, 500 miles is a great simple singalong song to do as an encore, punked up of course, send the crowd home happy they'll come again, and lets face we all love a gig where we get an audience reaction, or should do. We do Nellie the Elephant as well

latest word is they've sorted things out and it's staying open

bit of deja vu going on here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/171695-fender-or-marshall-bass-amp-help/page__p__1591786__fromsearch__1#entry1591786

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1332769000' post='1592784'] Just scroll down - the item's still there. [/quote] Cheers, obvious huh, feel a bit of a pratt now

[quote name='fatboyslimfast' timestamp='1332769733' post='1592800'] Maybe there's a reworking there... "Old-age creaks so hard to beat...gut's so big I can't see my feet" [/quote] or my prick

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1332596635' post='1590460'] Being the other side of fifty, I always feel a bit of a buffoon playing Teenage Kicks. [/quote] Why, do you stop w***ing when you get to 50?

anybody know how I can stop 'bidding has ended ' items going onto another page after about a second?

there's been quite a few threads about this amp, concensous seems to be great sounding amps very good value for money but early ones did have QC issues, as did mine, but once they were sorted I had no trouble at all, apart from the covering rips rather easily.

I've got a Marshall MB 4210 which I use with a 1 x 15 ext cab, it's LOUD, never got anywhere near full volume,

[quote name='keeptrying' timestamp='1332523593' post='1589641'] +1 with the off the net tabs warning. don't know if any one else has tried this, a bit of software my bass teacher put me onto called the amazing slow downer, really useful for working stuff out. as the name suggests you can slowdown music without changing the pitch, you can try it for free too. [/quote] you can do the same with audacity

there is one major flaw with MIM P's, they don't make cack handed ones, bastards

be very wary of tabs off the net, some of them are way out, in fact I very rarely find one that doesn't need a bit of tinkering, either it's wrong or I cant play it and have to simplify it, i.e. cheat

bloody hell, I must be a sh*t bass player if monkey man is considered easy to play

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1331807240' post='1579081'] I've always thought the same. We can here a difference when we play them but in a mix its sometimes impossible to tell, which to me means it doesn't really matter. [/quote] IMO it matters live, I think a P cuts through the mix better, probably because as someone mentioned earlier the P is more middy (is that a word or have I just invented it?)

Beatles, I'm still trying to play the bass line to I saw her standing there and failing to get anywhere near the right speed, and he sings too! bastard
