you've got to admire the guy for attempting postage even at £50 😂

Some VERY good news at last - live music back by the Spring?
PaulWarning replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
we had our first full pub set gig last Sunday for 15 months, with a newish guitarist after a couple of crash rehearsals, bit ropey, but as Basil would say "I think we got away with it" -
Compressors? I'll get my tin hat out 😀

I think Sue Ryder basses were just a one off block purchase, when they're gone they're gone, I would think by now every owner has removed the decal 😁, they were bought because they were a perceived bargain, but it's only a bargain if you really need it, would be interesting to see if anybody still uses one though,

you obviously aren't loud enough, at one gig my amp packed up, believe me it was very noticeable and everybody seems to notice when I play a bum note 😂

New Wave has thrown up some cracking bass lines
PaulWarning replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
punk.....................................................or New Wave 😊 -
just done a comparison and I can hear very little difference, (disclaimer, the song is not my cup of tea)

PaulWarning replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
punk and new wave must the most widely defined of all the genres, early punk has very little to do with the shouty shouty hard core stuff that came later, originally New Wave started just after the explosion of punk, any band that was a bit more musical was put in that bracket, but the lines are very blurred, the genres continue to this day -
It's so pretentious having a stage name 😂
-
yep, I have mentioned before I use a Trace series 6 ,200 watt head 13Kg (plenty loud enough), with very rare but very good Fender V2 cabs, 1 x 10 and 2 x 8, both 13 Kg, best of both worlds

I seem to remember an interview with Macca where he said he'd done multiple vocal takes and when he got one he was happy with it he noticed he'd got the names mixed up at the end, but he thought fcuk it that'll get then thinking 😀
-
has nobody mentioned Macca getting Molly and Desmond the wrong way round on the last verse of Ob-la -De Ob-la -Da?

Artists that have made you want to give up music
PaulWarning replied to Fishfacefour's topic in General Discussion
whenever I see anybody that is obviously a better musician than I'll ever be, I just think "yeah but the Ramones reached legendry status by keeping it simple" -
Sky Arts and other music related programmes

I always thought that anybody could do a Bob Dylan Song better than Bob, I've just changed my mind after seeing Eric Clapton -
Sky Arts and other music related programmes
PaulWarning replied to PaulWarning's topic in General Discussion
enjoy Sky Arts while you can, had a new aerial installed today, the aerial guy reckoned it's only on Freeview for a while so as to suck us in to getting Sky, good luck with that one Sky -
no answers then? I for one have trouble picking out the bass in NoFX records, Bottles to the Ground might help there's a couple of audible bass runs and it's one of my favourite NoFX tracks. I think I could get pretty close with my Zoom B1on pedal

Alister Donaldson (Ithink) of the Rezilloes, the bass playing their first album was something else, and it could be heard in the mix, Top of the Pops is right at the edge of bass my playing abilities -
Let's talk about pitch correction.

poor old Rod's getting a bit of a panning, not entirely justified, I'm sure if he'd been assassinated in 1973 he'd be looked on a lot more favourable 😁- 194 replies

I much prefer that version, makes the studio version sound way over produced- 194 replies

Absolutely, I would have thought that Maggie May would have been completely ruined by autotune, and God knows what autotune would do for the Sex Pistols, I was on the a cruise where they did a cabaret 70's night, the very good in tune singer did Pretty Vacant, it was awful- 194 replies

bit off topic, but true, today's mailonline, an example of how us old farts are supposed to be outraged about modern music, remember the fuss about Elvis, then the Sex Pistols, makes you wonder what it will take to outrage todays youngsters https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9585461/Soundtrack-murder-time-gangland-drill-track-Number-One.html- 194 replies

Bands you once hated but are now coming round to
PaulWarning replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
I'm the same, like a lot of Morrisey's solo stuff I think it's because he's singing in tune instead of wailing (a 3rd higher?) I really like the songs the Smiths did with Sandie Shaw, says it all really, -
not necessarily, grievances can be aired a little bit too forthrightly when lubricated with a little alcohol. We've done fairly well, the first line up stayed together 10 years, before the drummer and guitarist left amicable, the second 4 years before the guitarist left (there's a theme here), tbh we were glad to see the back of him, but we have struggled to find a permanent replacement. Funnily enough me and the singer have the biggest fallings out, usually over politics, he's a gobby hate filled intolerant lefty, but we get over it, some people can't.

after watching a Fat Mike video I've changed to a thinner pick, 1mm Dunlop down to a 60mm Nylon Dunlop, I've found it does make fast up and down playing easier if you can avoid the temptation to hit the strings too hard. Not done a gig yet with a thinner pick but I'm definitely (make sure you spell that right, or you might be accused of being the 4th man 😂) going to try it
