[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1340452140' post='1704592'] [PEDANTRY] I think you'll find that's [i]plectrum[/i]. To prevent further confusion: [i]plectra [/i]is plural, [i]plectrum [/i]is singular. [/PEDANTRY] [/quote] Ah come on , your not telling me you can't use at least 2 plectra at the same time ? you must have small hands , maybe Spike could do 64ths at 720 bps with a bit of practice

I have no issue with whichever playing style someone uses , but one thing I have noticed is that if I start bouncing around at a gig it is easier to keep control of actually playing the notes if I throw the pick away and use my fingers , it somehow feels that I can keep my hand in position better when the guitar is moving about a bit

We played at the Llay Gala last night, it was supposed to be outside in a small marquee , but the weather was so bad we set up inside , It was a bit of a struggle getting any crowd involvement , and we chopped the set about on the fly to get some interest, it worked a bit , but while everyone seemed to enjoy it , it lacked the vibe of a normal pub gig. It was a big room though and I suppose we were on early before a disco/ Kareoke , and there were a lot of children running around. All in all we enjoyed it , but I think we worry too much about the audience reaction sometimes, we know our stuff and should really just nail it , If we look as if we are having a good time it will rub off, Still , I think we are back again next year

I only used a pick on my bass once , One good swing, and the guitar was firewood , never really understood the obsession with them after that .

Graham Tristram I have no idea of his competence as a musician , but I bought his guitar from his mum , and it only had 4 strings , so I learned to play it , ipso facto ergo historantum Ed to add , I just googled him and found him straight off , first result, I think I shall say hello

I understand that DSR and internet shopping is big and will get bigger, but at some point do we really want warehouses in the countryside and boarded up high streets ? I am sure what comes around goes around , but if you don't use it you lose it ... please leave any other meta 4's and similies here before i get sick of my own !!

That is some haul Hope you get sorted with it , were there no cameras or witnesses ?

If you are only lending kit , I don't think you have the same risk as if you were hiring it out. It might still be reasonable to suss the competency of the peeps using it though, both for their own safety and the wellbeing of your kit

there are some very small minded peeps out there , and to be honest, with thinking like that I hope that they stay out there, or maybe prepare to be enlightened and apart from my own drivel , yes Basschat is VERY funny , VERY witty, VERY informative and a pleasure to read and contribute to.

Ah , this helps , I was aware of Roosendal and Stijlorenrijk , Brabantse the area that they are in ? but is it a flower based festival ? It is a bit of a distance to Norway though. You speak distance in miles , is that as a translation thing , or is that your measure of choice ?

Bert, you are most kind, and of course equally welcome , It would appear that there are many places where the grass is green and the girls are pretty, I like these places. Ed for cheese on toast fingers

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1338575221' post='1676753'] You take that back RIGHT NOW. [/quote] Ok I'll ..... Take it back to Tullepetaon City [b][i],[/i][/b] where the grass is green and the girls are pretty , Hmmmm or [b][i]Neem het terug naar Tullepetaon City, waar het gras groen is en de meisjes zijn vrij[/i][/b] Inspirational telling off , I think I might write a tune to that ! Ed to change something

BTO , you ain't seen nothing yet ............. or probably heard either

Hiring a van under 25 is sometimes a problem , but a mate who wants to get involved is good , even get him sound trained to help on the desk, local businesse who have vans might like to help out , or not , but you won't know till you've asked

I would love to contribute , but I have been hypnotised by the OP's Avatar . I can't leave the thread .............................

Local pub gig for me , at the Shamrock in Buckley , it was very quiet when we set up so we were a bit concerned , but by the end the place was bouncing , we were chuffed with this gig as we changed the set list on the fly when they started dancing and kept them up. WE have played there before but the Landlord was very complimentary this time and reckons we have stepped up a notch , some of the local bands he rated us against are really good and well regarded, so a good night was had by all .

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1337792917' post='1665578'] I'm supporting them this coming July in Sweden I think! Not exactly a huge fan but I know they're nice guys, should be interesting. [/quote] where is the we're not worthy emoti thingy when you need one

[quote name='4-string-thing' timestamp='1337715833' post='1664512'] Best opener ever..... Prime Mover by Zodiac Mindwarp And The Love Reaction, Brilliant! [/quote] It was unknown to me but having tubed it ,I like it , HOWEVER, on the links were tunes by steve stevens , Memory Crash , This stuff is new to me and I LOVE it , cheers dude a totally cool way to find a great groove

I keep seeing numbers in our set in here We generally open first set with Rem , one I love , warbler likes it for warming up with . second set often starts with Queen , tie your mother down ,that runs into stereophincs , local boy in a photograph

one of the greatnesses on here is in the modesty , and I think it generally is to be a sign of a certain expertise in itself .

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1337434024' post='1659897'] they are still wired up! of course it will not be what it says on it. Hum is more likely to be something touching something it shouldn't or some grounding error [/quote] Cheers Luke , I have cut the cables and guess what the pots are reading like they should now Even the hum seems to have gone aswell so we a top result ......... Only thing is I can't hear anything through the amp, I will have to takes that apart now to fix it only kidding ........TAXI , Having done a bit searching , I see mention of audio log pots , can I tell what the originals are by the markings? when I meaured the resistance it seemed linear , but could that be due to them still being wired in? sorry for the numptiness
