Princess Knickers is very tempting.....

Have a good one Nige. Rehearsal for Friday's gig prohibits attendance unfortunately.

Best way to get good at slap? Turn up at every bass show possible. Plug in. Max all controls. Practice your 'slap chops' for the whole day.

On my left. Guitarist complains of headstock in ribs injuries otherwise.

Wouldn't look out of place in Tina Turner's house.

[quote name='krispn' post='1179489' date='Mar 28 2011, 01:51 PM']Yeah my band would be happy to supply tracks. We've been featured on a few podcast and they're a great way to get tunes heard. PM if you get up and running and I'll get links etc to ya. Best of luck[/quote] Will do if I get a bit more take up. 'Recording' is an unloved area of BC though. Let's try and get a bit more interest in here: Victor Wooten's favourite breakfast cereal is Golden Graham's Jaco Pastorius had an irrational fear of the letter Q Mark King likes salad cream on his Sunday roast Flea's godfather was Norman St John Stevas John Entwistle had collected every copy of Razzle from 1980-1991 apart from the 'tasty traffic wardens' issue of Nov 1986 Jeff Berlin is really Ricky Tomlinson Loads more amazing bass related facts will be revealed in the first podcast if it happens.

In all seriousness a criminally underated band. [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transmitters_(band)"]The Transmitters[/url] Ahead of their time art rockers.

Transmitters? Never heard of 'em

I'm interested in synth packs too.

[quote name='Bilbo' post='1170611' date='Mar 21 2011, 02:16 PM']Who are these scratchy bass players out there causing choas and the need for flat bits of plastic protection? We should be told.[/quote] That would be me. Lots of sctatches. They're also good for covering up cheap manufacturing techniques.

Friday April 1st from 7.30pm St Paul's Brentford, TW8 0PN. The original Sound of the Suburbs. The Members featuring the Damned legend Rat Scabies on drums will be going on second after the mighty Jetsonics. We'll be playing all our hits. We're on stage at a military 19:55hours. Entry £12.

I'm in full agreement. Not that we always stick to this. I've recently had a promoter asking us to ensure our set is finished by 'x' time allowing for encores. As we're support band I said we won't be doing any. I'll check my watch, introduce the last song as such and mean it.

Just got an email about joining up again. My reservations are it looks pretty awful and dated visually which doesn't make me want to press any buttons. It seems without delving too deeply to also be mainly for covers and tribute bands. Not sure it's worth £25. Any positive experiences with an originals band using it?

Wire coat hanger with a big ball of blu tack on one end.

Nice pic of the bass. I was very hot and Alex Ferguson looking by this stage of the gig.

I'll take a 75% hit rate any day and put down track track 4 as a 'grower'. Thanks for downloading it F61. I'm knocked out when people take an interest. We've sold 70 physical copies since Friday. Surely that puts us in the charts?

I need our front man to rein it in a bit. He looks like he's run a marathon by the end of the set. We've had to do one song encores at long set gigs because he can't physically manage any more. Bands don't have to jump about all over the place for me as long as they engage with the audience and look like they're enjoying what they're doing. Seen a lot of miserable bands where it's like they haven't noticed you turning up at their rehearsal.

Buld a rack case around a Terror ?

I used to do a bit of podcasting 3 or 4 years ago that was great fun. I got a few followers on the blog thingy I stuck them on. Kids, band and general stuff used up all my time and I let it slip. The urge is back now though. I thought it would be nice to do the first one including some BC'ers original music. If you want a track played let me know. If anyone fancies being Smashy to my Nicey over a bottle of red let me know as well. I did a few two handers with a music journo mate and they were a lot of fun. It's not going to be a polished product but it will be fun.

Good idea Mr C.
