WHUFC BASS

Really can't see the point of this bass. The headstock reminds me of a cross between the new SX range and the only Peavey headstocks. For that money I'd want something a bit special, not some re-hashed Fender copy with a moody headstock.

Nothing whatsoever. Go in clean and eq on amp. Just some new zingy DR strings and whack up the gain on the amp.

May possibly have this position covered now chaps so thanks for all your interest !

I would normally post this in the bass players wanted section but we're desperate at the moment so here goes . We've got a gig coming up in the Czech Republic at the end of the month (27th October) and its turned out our bass player can't do it due to work commitments. I'm trying to find a bass player who is into punk music who can learn 13 songs by the end of the month 27th October (the date of the gig). We did have a bass player who said he could do it, wasted two weeks getting the songs over to him and him learning them, only to ring up last night to say he can't do it. All the other bass players I know are either busy or say they can't learn the songs in time. I do realise its short notice but this is a great gig apparently which will be very well attended. We've got a good following abroad and its a paid gig yet nobody wants to help us out so it would seem. I'm currently stressing out due to a lack of a bass player. Any takers ? It would mean learning 13 songs and doing one - maybe two rehearsals before hand. I realise this is short notice but we wasted time with the other bass player who let us down. The songs are reasonably easy to learn - no complicated runs or flash bits, just solid bog standard 8th notes for the most part. Gear will be provided for the gig but you must have a passport ! PM me if interested.

I like it - wouldn't spend the stupid amount of cash to buy it but I think it looks OK.

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' timestamp='1346841192' post='1793827'] Judging from their mission statement on there, I think you've dodged a bullet mate. They sound like a right bunch of tossers, like a lot of record labels. Hence the reason we put out all our own stuff.

This fella rips that bassline up with his thumbs ... I think he used to be a member on here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOo54oWpuGk

Never had any complaints and they do special offers if you like them on arsebook. The also do digipaks which look a lot better than just a carboard sleeve. Cheaper than 950 sheets too.

Listen to the band Agnostic Front. Roger Miret seems to get away with singing out of tune most of the time - if he can do it, I'm sure anyone can do it.

Cleaned my teeth, put on my best clobber, Tonight's the night I'm going to knob her Vauxhall Viva's covered in rust, But you can't shag a bird on a 29 bus ... Beer and Sex and Chips and Gravy Macc Lads Extra kudos for using a kazoo in the song

I oughta have my f***ing head examined for screwing with a skank like you. But it wasnt like I really fell for you, I was just cold and empty through and through... (Blood For Blood, So Common, So Cheap) All you numbers in the cell block: All you sweating in the detox: To all you hoods that are dodging cops And to all you bleeding from a broken heart You know youve got a brother here. ... (Blood For Blood, Hanging on the Corner Blood)

I always class Motorhead's first album "On Parole" as pub rock. Some great tracks on there too ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kegItmzd--o

I saw the title of this thread and thought - this is going to be the usual pony shred / fretboard ego trip but after giving it a listen, its actually very very good. Well done to you sir. Great playing and a great song too.

Can anyone recommend a good recording studio in the North London / East London / Essex region for recording metal ? Budget is up to £200 a day. We're previously recorded at Perry Vale studios in South London which were superb, but expensive and difficult to get to for the band, so we're looking for somewhere a bit closer to home. Any suggestions ?

Never get tired listening to this album ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLDyhcAKZ60
