  1. We play at the Good Ship in Kilburn, north London on 12th March for any post-rockers - onstage 8.45pm
  2. As it says in the subject line, I have an item I can't seem to bump in Items Wanted - is that right? Is it not the same as the general Basses For Sale settings where you can bump as and when needed? Cheers

  4. We play this gig here, [size=4] 12th March at the Good Ship, Kilburn, London.[/size] For any post rock fans [url="https://www.facebook.com/events/250068801827203/"]https://www.facebook...50068801827203/[/url]
  5. [quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1391623504' post='2359399'] Those amongst us are wolves. I'm ashamed to say I can't recall the bassist/basschatter's name but I loves me a bit of post rock and this band are up there with the best of them..... Currently listening to InFictions and enjoying it very much! [/quote] Hi Rev, thanks for the mention - Those Amongst Us Are Wolves are playing in Bristol on 13th March at the Stag and Hounds if you are around
  6. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1391377754' post='2356563'] This beauty . [/quote] gulp
  7. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1391376769' post='2356544'] Use your ears. I just got an unlined fretless yesterday, surprisingly it's easier than I expected it to be. Also surprisingly I can hear if a note is out even slightly. [/quote] sure, that's the next step. what did you buy out of interest?
  8. ha ha - yes, but there is just enough street light to peep in! [size=4][quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1391375008' post='2356508'][/size] Nah, even if you hit the right fret, the intonation on a fretless is a far weirder science. I like the way you think though. A question if I may, why do you close your eyes and play in the dark.... Surely just one would do the job [size=4][/quote][/size]
  9. I've started playing on my fretted bass, but with my eyes closed and in the dark, driven by some insane idea that this might be lay some preparation for playing unlined fretless? What think ye of such science?
  10. Nice bass - by all accounts that must have been a pretty smelly gig then Clarky? [size=4] [/size]
  11. [color=#333333][font=Times]"Arts Council England gives London's Southbank Centre £20,000,000 in block funding each year (which means they can spend it on what they like without much in the way of detailed accountability). Some of ACE's funding comes from you, the tax-payer, which makes it quite likely that, when you last visited Royal Festival Hall and took a sh*t, you wiped your arse with toilet roll that you helped pay for. And The Barbican? Only £583,000 in funding in 2013, but that's topped up by £19,800,000 from the City of London. Forty million for two arts centres. What do Le Pub in Newport or Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff get? f***-all. Why can't we take a million each off Southbank and Barbican, stick it in a fund which small venues could apply to, up to a maximum of twenty grand per venue, then we could transform one hundred small UK venues in one move. We could create a world-class small venue circuit. We could be the best. The Southbank is a charity too. Perhaps it could start being a bit more f***ing charitable.

"[/font][/color] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#333333][size=4]This a tired argument, never to be resolved. It cuts across all art forms - [i]The Arts Council aren't interested[/i]. It doesn't serve their controlling view of culture (even though it's paid for by you and I) to NOT give vast amounts of subsidy to needy over priced middle class Metropolitan bastions of high culture.[/size][/color][/font]

  15. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1389102540' post='2329919'] BC to the rescue [/quote] Ha ha - well I've got the number, now to make contact!
  16. Can anyone please PM me Bass Doc's phone number as my PMs to him aren't currently being picked up - Our good mod Charic seemed to think someone here would have his number?? Many thanks
  17. I won't tell you how old I am (ha ha )[size=4] but I play in a band where I will probs be dead by the time the keyboard payer is my age (if that makes sense) we all rub along together, mul-ti generational as our American friends might say. And it's all original music, drawn from a collective cache of influences from over the years.[/size]
