[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1478135924' post='3167106'] I believe the keyboard player writes the songs, but they are all credited so they share the royalties. Very generous of him. [/quote] I am mistaken then. Tim Rice-Oxley is a talented bloke. I once heard that the Drummer was the main songwriter in Kaiser Chiefs and the reason their popularity dwindled so quickly is because he left the band. I'm too lazy to google and tbh I don't care enough. They seemed a one album wonder from my perspective anyhow.

They've been hammering this on radio 2. It's a great song, but I don't know if the nod towards Ordinary World about 1:30 in is intentional? He was the main songwriter in Keane unless I'm mistaken, who wrote some great songs. He's a talented bloke alright. http://youtu.be/JugGmkvhsKQ

Do you find they feel a little more supple as well? I'm not talking a huge difference, but they are noticeably stiffer.

Don't know in all honesty, although the music shop seems legit. 'Manns Music'. TBH they match other people's description of fender flats- growly, punchy, gritty feeling. I expect that to get better with a few months playing in- it hasn't yet- but the tension is confusing me.

Anyone else a fan of Fender flats? Perhaps you can help me answer something that's bugging me. I have a set on a P bass that are roughly a year old, bought new from the basschat marketplace. They sound and feel great. Thumpy, enough mids and highs and sustain to not sound 'dead', with just enough of that flatwound 'boing' that I like. Feel is smooth and buttery, and the tension is medium. I bought a new set back in June, via eBay from a music store, and I'm convinced they are not the same string. They feel gritty, the sound is more high mids with more attack, and the tension is noticeabley higher. I'm was hoping the feel and sound is a case of them not being as played in as the other set, but I can't explain the increase in tension? They are both 9050L so same gauges. I much prefer the old set, so have Fender changed their strings and if so, which of mine are the newer formula so to speak?

If you feel like someone just hit you in the chest with a pillow, that's punch.

[quote name='Santa' timestamp='1468526369' post='3091613'] Adam Clayton. Perfect for his music [/quote] There it is! I came on to comment how no-one had mentioned Adam Clayton yet. He is Marmite in these conversations. For me, Jeff Ament's playing in some of the Pearl Jam covers I played was a bit of a surprise. He definitely took a smidge of influence from Rocco and that fast staccato-style playing. See 'Porch' for an example. I always liked Will Carruthers simple yet melodic lines, but he doesn't get much of a mention round here even though he covers a lot of ground. Krist Novoselic was definitely underrated. I think he became the forgotten one between Cobain's genius songwriting and Grohl's thunderous drumming. In reality, Grohl is an overrated, albeit very good drummer (Well I'd rather listen to him drum than play guitar and sing any day of the week), for all his talent Cobain was a pretty basic guitarist, yet it was Novoselic who provided the melodic fundamental of an awful lot of Nirvana's work. Lounge Act being a personal favourite. And I always zone-in on Roger Glover's playing on old Deep Purple LP's, although he does pail in comparison to JPJ.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1461009192' post='3030649'] In view of Chilliw's which is from the view point of many examples, I'll say that I don't think they are worth the money. My Custom shop is a plank... [/quote] Fiver?

Yep, forget it. It's really hard to keep a wayward drummer between the lines. I've had to play with a few that speed up, and slow down, and slowing down is far worse. Feels like your trying to run in treacle. I've played with a few drummers where the timing is just shaky, as you say. It's not 'on point', although it may not actually slow down or speed up during the course of the song they tend to be out of time with themselves. By far the worst I've had is a drummer that just keeps changing the pattern. The timing was one thing, but the actual pattern drifted around as they got excited- for example (use your imagination here!) BOOM-TACK, BOOM BOOM TACK, BOOM TACK, BOOM BOOM TACK would become BOOM BOOM TACK, TACK BOOM TACK, BOOM TACK, BOOM TACK BOOM TACK Totally and utterly mind-drillingly irritating. Of course, the guitarist that likes to get stuck in thinks it's my fault when it all starts drifting about. As far as he's concerned, the drummer is just giving it a push. Anyways, we sacked him. (Hopefully the BOOM TACK makes sense! )
