[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1360261608' post='1967733'] Is xilddx pronounced the same as silddx? [/quote] I never figured out how to pronounce silddx. I'm doubly confused now.

Not exactly the way Steve thought his thread was going to turn out I imagine. It could do with deleting tbh, it's not a good advert for Basschat, it just looks like a lot of childish bickering.

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1360241616' post='1967188'] My car moves me, but it doesn't really matter. *shallow much* [/quote] Lucky devil, I own a car that sometimes doesn't move me at all...it doesn't move.

[quote name='Badass' timestamp='1360178718' post='1966283'] [b]Marvin[/b] I guess the speaker / s in the combo count. What's in there? [/quote] I was just being a tad daft It's a 210, loaded with 'Fender Special Design' 8ohm speakers, whatever special design means . It's actually quite good.

I have no cabs, just a combo Oddly though I have an amp head kicking about

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1360079914' post='1964506'] I think it would be OK! [/quote] I think I'll try standing on it first, the crate that is

In the interests of science, I purchased said crate this afternoon from the well known German supermarket. My Rumble 350 weighs 34kg, I won't be putting my combo on the crate

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1360068859' post='1964249'] Popular music is currently going through a phase where it's spending far too much time looking backwards and trying to preserve the past when the music and musicians from those eras were doing everything they could to throw out traditional notions of what music was and the instruments used to play it. [/quote] I find this an odd, potentially contradictory, statement as much of the your Territones material I've listened to sounds very similar to bands like The Cramps and King Kurt, whom I was listening to 30 years ago.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1359656598' post='1958410'] Please take the 'envy' in this thread in a lighthearted way. Thanks [/quote] I think we should all envy anyone who can play with their organ in public and get away with it.

I couldn't be bothered to read it, it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1359626834' post='1957679'] I'm a wee bit older, & my guilty pleasure would be Elkie Brooks. Saw her live in Barnstaple a few years ago & she was exceptional. (I might get to pluck her later........ ) G. [/quote] I know the bass player who played on her Bookbinder's Kid and Pearls III (Close to the Edge) albums. Just shameless name dropping

A truly dire Gorilla practice amp. Just shocking. I borrowed some Laney combo for a practice once that was dreadful as well. None of the controls seemed to do anything, perhaps they were decorative. And it sounded, rubbish.

Jessie J. I could play with her all day long Don't tell the wife

All depends on what sort of player you are. Some don't need a high C, some of us don't need (or know how to use a low B ). The bad ass MF in this band uses a 6 string and having seen him play live, he's awesome.

I'm in no way great at playing bass, but I'd love to be able to play the guitar bloody brilliantly, to the point people turn to jelly when I played (and maybe be able to sing a bit).

Westone Spectrum II. Everything about it was awful, pickups, pots, jack, neck, body, action....wait, the tuning gears were alright but I hated the pointy headstock.

The 12/12/6 looks very tempting. Just wish I had the a bit more money...as usual.

The one that does best at the audition. ....and has a drum kit. It may sound daft but it happens.

If you want an SKB case apparently there literally loads littered around Afghanistan. More or less the same case is used for grenade launchers or something similar. The cases just get dumped.

Bum, forgot to add a reply. It was a crumby joke really. Could have done with a smiley.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1359155221' post='1951047'] I think Marvin is saying that is the question he would ask a prospective singer, as many seem to only have a mic, sometimes not even a stand. [/quote]

Do you own a PA?

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1359031487' post='1948670'] I use the Alpine Musicsafe earplugs, and they're awesome for the money. Come with a carrying case and a choice of three different attenuation inserts, plus a spare earplug. I can't gig without them now, it sounds like a right racket! [/quote] I've got these and can't get on with them at all. I can't hear anything when I wear them, so I don't bother.

Definitely not easy.
