Very bad times. Good luck getting it sorted.

Oo like the look of this. Looking forward to seeing the finished result.

Welcome to the forum.

oo nice!

Yep I like it. Fraid I can't give any informed opinions on the recording.

Yep as above, they're fine. I have some on a P bass copy (Vintage V4) and they hold tune no problem.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1227850' date='May 11 2011, 06:31 PM']I'm not a fan of their music at all but full credit to them they give you value for money.[/quote] Exactly.

Its something I'm working on at the moment as the guitarist in my originals band wears lead boots that he can't stop staring at so its down to me and our singer to provide all movement on stage. In the covers band though I can happily stand still at the back without moving at all cos the singer and guitarist are much more active. I won't be practising at home but will be making more of an effort not to be static on stage and show how much I'm enjoying myself.

Cool! Good luck

Very short nails, even have clippers in my gig bag in case I forget to trim before rehearsals or gigs. [quote name='gafbass02' post='1223132' date='May 7 2011, 12:59 PM']I sometimes use the flat face of my nail as a plectrum, (I hold my fingers as though I were holding a plectrum between my first finger and thumb, but with no actual plectrum, just strike the string with the nail of the first finger)[/quote] Yep I do this too. A useful technique.

Welcome to the forum.

Played at Lock 42 in Leicester last night. Good turnout, fun other bands. Only a couple of dud notes. Lovely comments after and an offer of another gig in June from the promoter. Excellent.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1216909' date='May 1 2011, 09:17 PM']The EB felt like a real bass combo.[/quote] I really loved my EB (12"). Kind of regret getting rid of it but storage space and needs change.

Played an outdoor gig on Friday. Was a nice way to get more experience for our newer band members. Went ok, few panics about the weather but it stayed dry. Surprising how much more volume you need to play outside. Crowd were happier during the evening set than during the afternoon set but I'm thinking a few drinks may have loosened some hips and got people dancing.

Evening all, My band "Currently Without Abode" is playing at Lock 42 on Tuesday. Bit of Alt Rock take anyone's fancy? Doors are at 8, bands on stage bout 8.30ish. Cheers, Rob

Gotta say I kinda agree with all the above but particularly the people who have said well done for getting out there and playing live.

[quote name='Bilbo' post='1203293' date='Apr 18 2011, 09:57 AM']I have always believed that the [b]punters will respond to the energy and the quality of an intelligent performance[/b] and didn't need to be spoon-fed 'smooth jazz' or 'the Great American Songbook' to be engaged. What we did last night was 'commercial suicide' in conventional terms and many venues/bookers would balk at the idea of a 'harmony-less' trio but it nevertheless went down a storm. Left with a very big smile on my face.[/quote] Well done Bilbo, sounds great. Totally agree with this, glad it paid off

Yes I have one. My bass (Schecter C4) has a non symetrical heal (?) and it works fine. Folds down really small Having said that I can't say for sure that the Schecter has the same shape heal as your jazz
