    [quote name='Rasta' post='491084' date='May 18 2009, 08:07 AM']Great tune, i used to play this in a funk band and used to use an envelope filter or sometimes synth effect on the bass (even both at times)...was a really funky take on the tune in a Bootsy esq kind of way![/quote]

    Its a great tune, really gets going, just a shame the 'camera man' stopped where he did...

    only the first 36 seconds, would have been nice if it was a bit longer but as I was playing I had no say in this..
    anyway enjoy..

    Gig booking

    in Gigs

    Posted

    If you find that you get a gig in for a date that a member of the band is not available..

    always say 'we are not available that day as we have a booking' don't let on that somebody is not
    available... it then sounds like you have lots of gigs, and are fitting them in..
    or you could say 'we have a private gig that day'

    Gig report, my first as a bassist...

    in Gigs

    Posted

    We played for the first time with our new band "Deep Fried Bananas" in a rather small venue
    "The Cove Inn" on Portland in Dorset on Saturday 11th, and it was my first gig as a bassist..

    We got there nice and early, we were booked to play from 2100 - 2300, so at 1800 we started
    to get the gear in and up as much as we could around the tables full of eaters... but of course
    couldn't really put up the PA.. anyway to cut a long story a bit short, after consultation with
    d management, we started at 2130... the band were a bit concerned with not having enough
    material for the gig.... our first set finished at 2300..... at we cut out a couple and no there was
    no massive gaps between songs.... we managed a small break for a pee and full up then went
    on till just before midnight....
    the place was full and stayed that way till we finished and just in time for last orders...
    we even got one of the punters give us a tenner for drinks...

    yep we have now got another couple of gigs there, one in another venue and a couple of
    interested punters for private gigs...

    enjoyed it too....

    good to be back gigging again..

    Hi there from another newbie

    in Introductions

    Posted

    I have just been informed of this site, so here I am..
    I have been playing guitar since I was at school (back in the 60's) and have played
    in various local bands (my last one lastest 10 years), doing pubs and clubs etc..
    Recently joined another band and just before xmas the bass player went awol..
    so I stepped in on the bass (fortunately already had one) and am now the bass player.
    We have not gigged yet but are very close to our first one now.

    So i'm here to learn, and hopefully put in my 10 pence worth (used to be pennies when I was young).. when I can..

    my gear at the moment is

    Two Fender Strats (Lonestar, and American Standard)
    Taylor 300 series acoustic
    Tanglewood viola bass
    Fender Cybertwin
    Ashdown 300 combo
    plus the other bits and pieces like mics (shure sm58/57's) leads etc...
