PaulWarning

seen one of these for sale,

is a repeat of the one that was on a few years ago?

We've just started playing with a guitarist who is depping for us for a few gigs, so far he's picked three songs, rightly, we're playing wrong, we've been doing them for years and nobody's ever said a word before, he's a bit OCD about it, but he doesn't like changing his guitar tone to match songs, hates loads of pedals, bit odd really

as far as I'm concerned the tone control is an off/on switch on my P bass, trying to find something in between is nearly impossible with any degree of certainty

a centre punch on the outside of the screw head and tap with a hammer sometimes works

I've got a line 6 G10, very good apart from where the power supply plugs in, very flimsy, I've got round it by screwing a bracket on to the case to give more support, it is such a well thought out unit otherwise you do wonder what idiot thought it was a good idea to have power input socket straight onto the circuit board with no other support

with such diverse tastes in the band I'm surprised you ever got together 🙂 One rule on covers I always try and follow, make sure it's one you audience will know well and can sing a long too, otherwise you may as well just do one of your own

John Lennon, can't help thinking the Beatles would have got back together if he hadn't been murdered. Joe Strummer, I'm sure the Clash would have reformed

yep me too, I've never dropped a pick mid song, they sometimes spin round a bit, I hold them with my index and middle finger underneath and thumb on top

may be wrong but MS 60B and the B1on use the same chipset so should sound the same, the way I see it is the B1on , MS60B and B3 are basically the same thing with different cases and ways of adjusting the patches

I've been using a B1on for years, gigging, and had no issues with durability and noise, I actually bought a B3 and quickly moved it on, it sounded exactly the same but was a lot bulkier (couldn't get in my hard Bass case) before that I had a 506 MkII which I retired when the input jack became dodgy. So I'll be interested in the thoughts on the B1 Four

could be the out put transistors, mine would be ok for a bit then the volume would drop, it didn't come back till it had cooled down though

Well we're in the process of looking for a guitarist, join my band seems to be popular, Facebook pages, trouble is they soon drop down the page, bandmix, Gumtree and find a muso is another.

Well established Notts/Derby Old School Punk band Verbal Warning require a new guitarist to take over in October. We do about 50 gigs a year mostly local pubs doing 2 hour sets of mainly covers and some of our own songs taken from the 3 albums we’ve done over the last 14 years. The last two are on Spotify as well as various live songs on youtube We also do some originals only gigs and festivals and won the introducing stage at Butlins alternative festival last October, which means we’ll be playing the main stage this year, our current guitarist’s last gig. Obviously would help if you’re into bands like the Ramones, Clash, Sex Pistols etc

just come across this while looking for suggestions as to where to find a guitarist, yes, the most uninitiative web site I've come across, I persevered and got to the stage where they were supposed to send me a code to place an ad, I'm still waiting

Oh yeah, I used it as a lefty, and the picture has it with different pickup fitted before I found out Dimazio's were stock, wonders why it didn't improve things, doh, it's got the originals back on now

I finally got my Hondo back off our drummer, after reading someone's post that you can tell a Matsumoku from the stamp on the heal of the neck (annoyingly I can't find the post now), anyway mine's got nothing on the heal of the neck, so I'm guessing not a good sign. Not worth getting another bridge

made me smile anyway

new avatar, left handed pick playing bass player called Paul, who gives a thumbs up sign, sadly, that's where all resemblance ends

I'm of a completely different opinion, think his songwriting is nothing to shout about, with a few exceptions, there's an awful lot of very twee stuff in there, some of his lyrics are very lazy, "My love don't give me presents but I know she's no peasant" really sets my teeth on edge, but his bass playing is sublime, difficult to play does not make a good bass line. Wouldn't do for us all to have the same opinion though would it? this forum would be very boring indeed

which is why they were never the same when Alan Lancaster left

My tongue was a bit in my cheek, Cliff has released some half decent tracks amongst all the dross, but for me Move It is his best

I've heard the Arrow on occasions and enjoyed it but it's not available on DAB in my area

know what you mean, all the songs in the world, even within a certain genre, and they keep playing the same ones. I've all but given up with the radio since I got a different car that blue tooth's to my phone that has all my music on it, keep it on shuffle, job done
