Wicked!! I love that its this cool intro, then she goes to sing and its a massive chorus of people haha! Si

We're a slightly rockier modern covers band and we get plenty of weddings. People who are getting married now are (mostly) the younger generation, IMO they don't want WetWetWet and Robson & Jerome. We're doing a wedding in August where we've been asked if we can do some Rage Against The Machine........oh yesss Si

Also try CD-Baby to get stuff onto iTunes Si

Dammit!!! Can't believe I missed this, and in the meantime I've booked tickets to see Kate Rusby! Bumhole! Oh well, at least i'm seeing good music no matter what Si

Man, If my covers band travelled that far for a gig, not only would be be charging double what we normally do for local (london) shows, we'd be asking for a deposit of at least half! Certainly if we had to stay over we'd charge more then double. We've done Weddings in Manchester though and missioned it back to Bucks. Sometimes it is worth dealing in E-Mails so that you have that as written proof as well!. Hope the gig was a good one at least, that's your consolation Si

That is one sexy P-Bass!! So much nicer then its previous incarnation! Nice one! Si

Tis working dandy for me! Si

Give Malcolm up at Newtone a call, You can have whatever custom gauges, core sizes, lengths etc you could wish for, all for the price of a set of Rotos. The only downside is an approx 3 week wait............well they are being wound just for you! [url="http://www.newtonestrings.com/"] Newtone Strings [/url] If you do give 'em a call, say Simon Poulton recommended them Nice Si

I have a big 'ol silver flight case box (not a rack) that I carry my Head about in, whenever I do a gig with a one cab setup, either the 4x8 or the 1x15, I always put the cab on top of the Box, Having your sound at waist height is what its all about. Si

Is that ex-Mydriasis James Cooke on vocals? He wanted to try out for us....then backed out lol Good luck dude, sound like an interesting band! Si

Coolcool Any plans to visit London this year Janek? I saw you at the 606 club last year! Si

If we're going for good Jazz prices. I got my USA Standard Jazz, with S1 second hand for £275 w00pw00p lol Incl. Fender Hardcase Si

Yup the EQ stays flat (but on) on mine with my jazz bass, bridge pickup and tone up full and dial in the neck pickup as required, 'Grind' on about 10 o'clock. Thats all in gig situations, it doesn't get used at home, have a practice amp for that. In fact it stays same settings for my active bass's, bar the 'pad' button, and use the basses to EQ out any flaws. Si

Didn't like the first piece, Dood's video of the drummer were great fun though. Was loving the Mario 2 vid, bit more tech lol Si

Zero feedback though?! Si

Or just take the Neck off the body, whack it in your suitcase. And have someone do a setup when it's back home. Gotta Love Bolt-ons Perfec Si

Cool man, oh and to answer your PM observation, no I don't sell windows or houses, but I do negotiate music contracts lol. If you're ever down this way before you decide on what pickups for the P, you're more then welcome to give my DiMarzio'd Precision a go! The DP122 is quite high output, not as hot as the UltraJazzes, but pretty hefty. I've not tryed any Wizards, but they do get good reviews all over this site it seems . And thats still pretty sweet that its a 2 piece body! Looking forward to some more pics of it stripped etc Si

There's plenty of Wooten Videos on the subject (Youtube, DVD etc) The technique is actually quite simple, just difficult in a musical context and at speed! Down (thumb), Up (Thumb), Pluck (Index), Pluck (Ring). There was someone on here who posted some videos, and they had it down, can't remember who t'was though Good Luck Si

Very nice, I love these 'Franken-Threads' (I will hopefully have updates for my Jazz one soon) It fantastic that its a one piece body, I should think thats almost unheard of on stock instruments. Even special US Laklands are 2 piece mostly. If its got a nice grain, sounds more like Ash, Alder can be quite plain. Is the new neck AllParts or similar? Definitly Darkstar it, or I highly recommend the DiMarzio DP122 Si

Played with FSOF last night in Wycombe, so a nice local gig! 200 or so kids, awesome atmosphere! Went really well and i had a lot of fun, i knew that this weekend was going to be better then last week Si

[quote name='ARGH' post='133030' date='Feb 3 2008, 02:13 PM']Nope you are talking about aesthetics,Im talking about technique....and seeing as Tapping is becoming a required technique on some gigs,and has nothing to do with the examples of 'fads' you listed,although it was around and 'popular' at the time of the 80s. I understand people not liking change.[/quote] I completely embrace change, but at the same time I'm of the opinion that "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", it's effort that could be put into something else that does need attention! And I've never...ever heard of, let alone played a gig where tapping is a required necessity, nor have i needed to have anything more then 5 strings..ever. Thats not to say I disagree with people experimenting with ERB's, i think its great, but in my professional playing experience, they are not necessary for 99% of payed 'pop' gigs/jobs/sessions. Si
