Tonight, buzzing!

Haha, some brilliant ones here. I've seen the drum kit move before, one time of which I stopped it; the other time I just mouthed "cost you" and "tenner" at him, before shrugging and moving on. Haven't yet spat a crown out; but there's time yet...

[quote name='paul torch' timestamp='1338194959' post='1670513'] Get some ointment. [/quote] Tried it. Guess I've just got a Bad Case of Loving You.

Sex Is On Fire.

I make mistakes every gig. It's a trade-off - if I was to stand still at stage left, I'd be note perfect; but where's the fun in that? So, the odd dropped note, but it's all rock and roll.

By the power of all that is holy, sell this man the Roadster!

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1337986224' post='1668492'] Now I know that we are generally not talking big bucks, and I seem to be finding difficulties, but that's tax for you [/quote] It's quite... Taxing?

I had this once, but then I moved to Bermuda and it went away.

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1337343666' post='1658478'] I have a twin Mono bag - thoat sounds stupid but you know what I mean. Got it a while back to make transporting the L2500's easier (than the two hard cases). Got to say I'm really pleased with it, and I now tend to mix & match which two basses I want at the gig. [/quote] I've now joined you in being the chuffed owner of a dual Mono gig bag - the M80! The quality is absolutely superb, throughout the entire product. It's not over-big, and yet feels like it has protection and storage to spare. I feel like a wally now for contemplating something else. Brilliant product And two basses... why I thought this was indulgent, I'll never know. At the very least I'll never be caught out like a twat if I have an issue playing live, and at the most I'll have some options if I want different instruments to mix things up. Recommended

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1337971539' post='1668296'] play drums [/quote] Lol, get out! Did I say band? Band, band, band and band.

I'm much less organised - perhaps unsurprising for a boy! But, I tend to have a guitar in either the dining room or the living room - so I find myself almost continuously noodling, trying out new things. Twice a week I'll make time for some warm-ups and then play through our entire set, along to a back track; and then once a week I'll spend four hours with the lads, running through things at volume. I don't do a lot of hand work. My nerves were shoddy in my right hand since my car crash, and I now have some physio routines to follow following my Carpal tunnel issue.

[quote name='Mylkinut' timestamp='1336848031' post='1651964'] She told me she couldn't give discounts, so I tried the I'm-your-son angle. She was having none of it [/quote] Come on now, lah - at some point along the way she told you about the tooth fairy and easter bunny, too, and look how they panned out

Yeah, happy with that - I mean, his/her signature bass couldn't be worse than the TM Stevens effort.

Look, will let you off this once - but only if you put the "drummer at the wrong gig" on the Official Warwick FB page. That's my deal

Awesome

[quote name='bigd1' timestamp='1337891540' post='1667133'] Is there a point to this question? [/quote]

Band, absolutely. Bizarrely, when I'm in a rut, I just go and make myself learn a new song - usually something really rocky, and then hit it at volume. Bass equivalent of shock treatment, for me - but when writing has reached a dead end it's a good break for fun.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1337874106' post='1666844'] It's not the big figure that worries me. It's the 16% of all electric sales. [/quote] A good call. We're a relatively small proportion of the overall market, with all that that might suggest about guitar trends For a full picture we might also add in some assumptions around the circulation of items, thinking of the used market - which we know is strong.

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1337864485' post='1666588'] Can I just point out that there are a lot of Acronyms flying about here and I don't know any of them! There should be a glossary! [/quote] We thought about it, but just didn't have the TIM.

[quote name='Warwick_Official' timestamp='1337873498' post='1666832'] Although I'm based in the Northern California Bay Area, the bass will be shipped from Germany. I'm a member of the newly formed social media team, and cover the main English language forums in an effort to avoid language/translation barriers that may have occurred in the past. Shipping will be paid by Warwick, duties/taxes to be covered by the buyer, if applicable. Thanks! [/quote] I bet you're glad you chose to work with bass players, eh?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1337859021' post='1666450'] Also why is the competition being run via Facebook and not simply off the Warwick web site? [/quote] Because this fits with their social media strategy, to encourage usage and engagement via a more interactive and intuitive platform? You know, the same way many people run such campaigns from their official Facebook pages.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1337610261' post='1662696'] I find that the harder attack disappears once you add the guitars, especially if any of them are cleanish single coils. [/quote] Indeed, good call chief - and our singer/guitarist has just that.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1337808159' post='1665917'] Could someone invite Roger Sadowsky to do a similar setup please? RE: Risingson needs a Sadowsky bass comp. Ta [/quote] I've always fancied owning a Ric - and we know John Hall is a big fan of the forum, so... ?
