RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

I tried the usual way on my Mac mini , but error messages came up, or nothing moved. The site won't let me do it on ipad. Any ideas? Cheers

Ray, here's what you [b]have to[/b] do: Do what your heart tells you to do, and don't let anybody else tell you what to do. Do this right this evening. [b]No delay![/b] BTW, the age argument, if indeed used as an argument for or against something, is nonsense, and you know it. It's just about where and what you wanna be, and by large that is what one needs to listen to. Me, I'm 56. Gave up concerting like 25 years ago, and have only performed a few times since. Now I want out and gig again. If I change my mind tomorrow, then I change my mind. Done! best, bert [/quote] Cheers Bert This evening, I've had a great time on my Washburn status. Later, I shall be watching The Killing,)

Glad it went well,) love the death metal stuff

Wow! So many responses,) . Well, it seems that over90% of you think that I should try again. I suppose , the older you get you analyse more,and become more indecisive .(in my case any way); 2010, was my worst year ever . October of that year was my last gig. I still know a lot of people, but over the years , they got married/ moved out. etc. Trying to get people to see me on a sat night was difficult in that sense. Ones you expect to turn up don't and the ones you don't expect do. Playing in front of one man and his dog , was deflating. Finding places to play is getting harder also. On the positive side of things, my playing has improved while recording bits and pieces on my ipad. Trying to do complete songs takes time tho' ,) May sell a few basses, but love noodling on my Washburn status. As far as another hobby , I have no idea what May join a hair (less) metal band next year. Who knows,)

...I told him I'm too old and fed up with it(soon to be 50) I pointed out the things against age, I don't drive, and location.also usual band politics etc. Then he said ,"you are single ,need to get out more " etc. Apart from possessing good gear, I'm still looking for something to convince me .

Is it joey bartons ?

My Washburn status was very bright sounding .it was made passive And ex band mates loved it .

Remember them on that channel4 programme ECT.It was very funny.The mic wasn't working, So the singer was looking like a giant goldfish,) .Warlock were great tho'.they too had sound problems.

Get a Telebass! Job done ,) I did have a large trace Elliot combo, looked nice-but after fiddling about this way and that, I sold it. I now use Aguilardb112 no tweeter. One serious cab.(plus the amp to go with it)

May treat myself to birthday present in a couple of weeks,and like the look of these. Obviously, I'll need the camera connection kit to go with it. What do you think?

I believe that they are 'bass pedals', but haven't seen any you tube clips with a bass guitar plugged in. Moog products in general look cool, but are very expensive. Maybe it's best to use other companies for bass effects,and if I want anything moog , then buy a moog keyboard. What do you think?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1353752234' post='1878047'] Just one of those cabs is overkill for most gigs I have been there many times like everyone else, I can't imagine what a pair of them on both sides of the stage would be like! I would probably walk but take the vocalist and drummer with me, the guitarists are the easiest to replace anyway [/quote] Yes.

What'll probably happen(if you stay) , is that any guvnor of at pubs, will insist on volume being lowered.after that your band will find that there are no slots at the moment and gigs will dry up.

What do Mr. Drums, and Mr. Vox think?
