  1. In my younger days a band's worth of guys would have bounced the car out of the way (two bounce the rear up and down and three push when the weight is off the back axle). Not that I endorse such behaviour now!
  2. Me? The 'some kind of spectrum analyser app' is in the Google app store. It's called, 'Spectrum Analyser'.
  3. I've been enlightened by how many musicians have a good basic knowledge of theory but don't read. Also they often don't talk in terms if theory as they assume no-one else knows any. Discovered one of my bands we all know about resolving roots, basic modes and more 'interesting' chords, for example.
  4. Doubtful, it seems pretty far fetched. 🤭 It might even have been an attempt at humour. 🙄
  5. Cheddar Cheesesticks?
  6. Mine us destined to receive holes.
  7. I found that set about 3 o'clock I got a brilliant funk sound that made even my slapping sound half decent.
  8. That's exactly what I was about to say. A new bass should be pretty much immaculate, not chipped and scratched. They should have refined the body before letting it out of their workshop.
  9. They have a couple here.
  10. Ptash. At least Rush will deliver a quality performance.
  11. The only time I made an impression at Karaoke was when I chose "Firestarter" 🤣
  12. A seat with a view of the stage at Ronnie's that's a score.
  13. Just joshing...
  14. Why buy a cheap one from China, when you can pay a king's ransom for one from America that's almost as bad? 😁
  15. I've just booked into a hotel for three nights. The 'above lively music venue' was an attraction... I enquired and it's karaoke on friday and saturday...
  16. 3" O think! pjb eat yer heart out!
  17. I once added a port to a small combo I made, using the cut and try a card tube method. This improved it. I felt the wadding was a bit dense and started pulling bits out of the port. By the time I had pulled all the wadding I could get to out of the hole, it sounded much better. Not sure this is of any use, except to say don't be afraid to experiment.
  18. We work a few songs in parallel... otherwise it would take forever.
  19. With better spelling, I hope.
  20. I have (hopefully) four more cheap dmx PAR lights (for a total of six) coming tomorrow with one of the cheap controllers. It may be weeks before I have time to experiment propery dueto work
  21. Start on the g string, any note, come down one fret higher on each string so you're back on the first note an octave higher on the E string. The intervals are all major thirds so any of the notes can be the notional root. G, Eb, B, G perhaps surprisingly, resolves nicely to E. The song in question uses just three chords: Em, C, G. We certainly struggled for a long time we were trying to finish on a C chord (over which G bass sounded best) to create an unsettling effect but we couldn't get happy with it. But omitting the G letting the C hang and the bass does a run up then down that chord then E works. There's probably some deep musical theory at work but I'm b****** if I know what it is.
  22. And Dr Snuggles. Watch to the very end 😁
