I'm pretty much into this one at the moment.

I have been inside this place [url="http://www.ststouring.co.uk/"]http://www.[b]ststouring[/b].co.uk[/url]/ (behind the Apollo in Manchester) to pick up a hired Marshall guitar stack and they have everything for hire. Amps, cabs of evey description, drums. PA and lighting. I was astonished at the size of the place and the labels on the guitar cases. People hire for live shows / tours and videos.

Annuder one...

Queen have told the tape swap story a number of times. The time it would have taken to re-record the singles for the Beeb would have eaten all the profits.

I bought a Tascam 24 track recorder from them late last year. It came with a European power supply. I emailed them to let them know I couldn't use the unit. After about a fortnight of the recorder sitting in its box (and them sending me a kettle lead, which was absolutely no use whatsoever!!), I snapped and told them that if they weren't going to send me a UK power supply, I would send them a Tascam 24 track recorder. After much mithering and a rather descriptive post on their Facebook page which really set them worrying, I finally got one. Recently I ordered a footswitch for said beastie. After a while I emailed them to ask where it was. They said they had emailed me to let me know that it was coming from Germany, and I would have it by the end of January. Of course that email arrived. I am a bit fed up with them.

Perhaps wait for a NBD topic?

The seller has not managed to get the instrument to you, so they will need to get the compensation from the courier and reimburse you.

An old one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSjjBBFqbOw

Both have their merits. I prefer The Who to Yes by a long way. I have met John Entwistle who was a perfect gent. He invented bass techniques, as far as I am concerned. I vote John, but admired what I heard of Chris. He always had a superb sound. Yes were too complex for me on the whole.

Open each mp3 and write out the chord sequence while you are listening. Note breaks, vamps, verses, choruses. Study them. Print them out big for on the day. Play along with the tracks until you have them off.

VERY nice.

Suede. Manchester in February.

I just started a poll on this. Perhaps it could be done every January?

Please enter how old you are during Jan 2016. Thanks.

I once had a drummer knock over a Fender bass that I had on a stand at the side of his kit - pretty much as usual. It went over with a sickening CRACK. This was at a wedding function and we were setting up in the afternoon with only a DJ in the otherwise empty ballroom. What I shouted can't be repeated here. The drummer just got up from behind his kit and walked off, avoiding eye contact, saying nothing about what he had done. Fortunately the bass landed flat on its strings and (uncannily, bearing mind how loudly it landed, unplugged) was undamaged. It was my first real indication of what an utter c*** he was going to be. I didn't go home because it was someone's wedding. I would later find myself dismantling my rig at half time in a Labour club while the others sat in the other room. Awful people. I would suggest the original poster gets a quote for the repair / partial refinish for the drummer to peruse.

What's the difference between a drummer and a drum machine? With a drum machine, you only have to punch the information in ONCE.

Ring PMT Head Office. Tell them you haven't got what you ordered and that you want a refund. Are you near a PMT store? If so, you will take it there for your refund. Otherwise your next stop will be [i]"to get back to Trading Standards".[/i]

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1452740860' post='2953075'] I see that Lake Placid Blue Vintage Series MIJ Squire. Cool bass. Blue [/quote] That's a great little bass. The name on the headstock doesn't matter to me.

I'd just all get there VERY EARLY and be set up, ready for the other band's arrival.

I tend to use jam nights to get my frustrations out of my system and play stuff my band can't do.... with a built-in receptive audience. You could do that with like-minded people and build up a set and then see if you can manage two bands or not.
