  1. Drummers are hard to find , full stop . Keyboard players also. You'll get one eventually . Reminds me of a situation I had when I had to do a gig for my birthday a few years back. A few days before, our drummer pulled out because of a job at very short notice. This sales guy, where I used to work offered to help out. He arrived wearing these leather gloves a nd insisted on standing up the whole time. He irritated the life and soul of us, so we had to make up an excuse not to use him. I was crying with laughter about the huge ego and no talent. He did not rock,)

  3. If you have an Apple computer, there may be stuff in the iLife bundle that can help. Not sure of PCM equivalent. I'm sure another basschatter will help you shortly ,)
  4. Awesome bass. I see you've slashed a fair bit off this.slow market, I feel your pain. Have a bump
  5. I'll take it .) Please p m me, as for some reason , the pm messenger does not work on my ipad
  6. [quote name='Nyl' timestamp='1349345705' post='1824938'] Hi Ray, is the ME50B still up for grabs? [/quote] Yes it Is.)
  7. Probably the best covers I've played; deeply dippy right said Fred,tainted love, mamma Mia , Pork and beans/ hash pipe , buddy holly .. Weezer,echo beach. Song that all band members refused.. Rivers of Babylon . Really wanted to do that(;
  8. To be honest, we all forget bits when playing live . I know I have. My former band mates have too on occasion . Wouldn't worry about it too much. The rest of the band may notice but the crowd may be oblivious.)
  9. I'll check this out during the week.cant see vid because no flash on iPhone. Cheers Ray
  10. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1349535500' post='1827478'] Oh to be young again you've got the rest of your life to play bass, enjoy your little'n while you can If it's any consolation, I'm 61, was married for 25 years, been divorced 12 years, retired 11 years, kids left home long time since, there's just me, the 'mistress!', the cat & the fish Think you should write a song about this ) Guess what - there's still not enough hours in a day to settle down with a bass uninterrupted for an hour - even 5 minutes sometimes [/quote]
  11. Howdy! I've had my dean stylist hollow body bass for a while now. When I got it. , the action was very high . Last night, I lowered the action via the two thick screws on saddle area. Since then , the bass plays great .. except for the fault above. Is a truss rod adjustment required? Please help Cheers
  12. Howdy! Recently , I've been buying boss rack effects .I love the simplicity and ease of use . However, I have the boss looper mentioned above? Bear in mind , I'm not in a band anymore , and am trying to record stuff on GarageBand etc. Just wondering if it's better to have a rack effects looper or should I save my cash and stick with the boss ? Cheers
  13. Howdy!Hope you enjoy it here. It's very addictive here,)
  14. With the immiment arena gigs at Wembley and Birmimgham coming up, they had no choice but to look elsewhere.
  15. [quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1349213278' post='1823519'] The finish is metal flake. [/quote] Oh, cheers,)
  16. God almighty! I bought a couple of early muse albums in HMV sales a few years back.,( don't play them anymore) That disco song was dreadful. Didn't mind pil ( JR does look a bit like wurzel gummidge. ) Catweazle is good. As for xx ..total lifeless crap IMHO. Beach boys? Not relevant anymore, go away. Wish jools would get Rush, Rammstein or Slayer on his show to,liven things up a bit. Or Joe satriani.)
  17. Thanks for the input, keep it coming.) I'm still thinking ,)
  18. Howdy! Ive not been in a band for 2 years now. However, I have started recording( very basic gband stuff)last year. This is bass, some keyboard splurges, and a couple of apps. Trouble is , I keep thinking of Korg Wavedrum. GAS ,) Then it got me thinking , should I buy a couple of cheaper Tom toms and learn how to play them? To be honest , I haven't seen any hand percussionists in pub bands, just a drummer. Then I was thinking, if I got a wavedrum , would it be useless because I can only play bass? I'd like to learn another instrument (mid life crisis ) But don't wanna waste my time if I can't use it. Or maybe, I'm best leaving it and carry on recording, improving that as I go along. What do you think?
  19. could the op explain, the flake heading on the topic?
  20. [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1349047665' post='1821204'] That came out more drunken-text-message than I intended! Message was sincere though. :-) [/quote] Cheers,)
