[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1354813854' post='1890790'] I am thinking of making the trip across the pond to go to the show. I'll stay in my cousins uni flat (oh... joy of joys) in portsmouth, then get a train to london first thing on the saturday morning. Although there is still a question over whether i will be well enough to go or not. Hopefully i will be [/quote] It's an absolute trek to get there on time from Portsmouth - you're gonna be knackered before you arrive. I did the trip a couple of years ago.

Cheers guys! Love the Fodera, finally worked out how to use the preamp ha!

I'd been recording boring arrangements for about 3-4 hours before this, wanted to get some nice solid bass down with the odd fill.. so I decided to do a pop track (ha). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90O_-w5ewoo Enjoy!

Just checked all of my stuff, will be there for 10am hopefully.. see y'all soon!

Very very tempted, what days are the gigs usually?

Moved all my lessons (online and p2p) to Mondays now. Have 1-2 and 2-3 available! ---edit--- Also want to announce my £5 lesson special for new students via Skype only. ONLY till the end of the month. [url="http://www.tomkentmusic.co.uk/special/"]http://www.tomkentmusic.co.uk/special/[/url]

Had two mid-week spaces open up as my students are preparing to head to uni!

Check it out! [media]http://youtu.be/FFEIJdExtnA[/media] I'd been recording for 12 hours before that so my hands were sore! Think it turned out pretty good anyway..

Cheers for the replies guys! I had no say on the video edit, we've had tons of a bookings from it though so I can't complain (like a years worth of bookings - I'm having to dep dates out!). I try my up most to be professional for a function band, so if full blacks are required and everyone else is wearing shirts, then I'll be wearing a shirt too. As for the vocalist, as this is a public forum (it'll come up on Google anyway) I won't pass any opinion to stay.. professional'ish! Inbox me for my feelings!

I did a workshop last time, think it was too far out of the way for people to get to though. I'm happy enough bringing a giant stack and some basses along!

43 views and no replies?

Recorded at a studio in London (I forget which), with 3 hours rehearsal before and 2 hours filming. I was lagging something major by the time we came to filming (had been up since 6am ish and this was 5pm ish). Used a GMR Soundboard 5 NT loaned from the nice guys at GMR because I was going to Wales before I went home and didn't fancy carrying tons of equipment to town with me. Wicked wicked bass! Think I went through a Trace Elliot on the day too..? Enjoy! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJnXjwWHm3w&feature=youtu.be[/media]

Hello! Throughout the years of gigging and session'ing I've stumbled on tons of tips to ease learning bass, to help develop you quicker. Currently got a post-production studio based just outside of Portsmouth with lots of geeky gear and basses. I also specialise in being able to teach via the social-platform Skype to people around the UK, Europe and world. I've got tons of qualifications and credits/endorsements behind me - so be assured you'll get professional and perfect lesson no-matter-what. Prices range from £15 for half an hour; for further details check out [url="http://www.tomkentmusic.co.uk/services/tuition/"]http://www.tomkentmusic.co.uk/services/tuition/[/url] - I can also travel to you, but you are charged accordingly. Cheers!

Sent you a PM.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1339776275' post='1694239'] Is this with the same place? [/quote] As far as I'm aware, yes.

I've heard a story somewhat like this not that long ago - they're trying to book an act I play with so this has sorted my opinion of the venue. They're on a 'gigging blacklist' according to the acts management..? Sounds right to me!

I'm in!
