Not bothered if you like the song or the format or hate jazz etc. His skill and dexterity as a player is incredible.

I can't be arsed to read each page, but Rich Brown is my Man

I watched it all . I live a few miles from where it was shot in Druidsheath in Birmingham, so loved that connection and the whole Midlands thing. The Gregory Williams character turned a bit Tommy Shelby towards the end for me. However given its writer maybe to be expected. Music was great whilst the band outcome was seen a mile off it was enjoyable

some great ideas on this thread. I have the same issue. After my heart OP last year, I did a Cardio rehab program. I've been going to the gym every other day since last August. It's helped so much. Not huge weights but core exercises and back strengthening on the plate machines. takes a while but I've seen a huge change in my ability to stand for over 2 hours with a heavy Sandberg bass.

from the first time I heard it I was hooked. It's a brilliant bass line all the better for the fretless bass.i often play it Absolute classic

Defo invest if FRFR speaker. Lots of questions. Do you need an amp to fill a room or just into PA? Budget? What other instruments will you be playing with as the range in this clip can easily get lost if you have many complimentary frequencies from other players like Keys, or guitar?

Absolutely no clear rationale except 'because I can' Those Squires sound tasty. Great tone.

Congratulations. You’ve made it !

It's so great to read this thread. I'm not alone! This has been a valuable lesson for me. I'm going to spend a bit of time listening instead of just working out structure and notes.

Evening players I've been around the block and played a fair bit. I have a dep gig on Saturday for a band I've stepped in a few times for. Thought id just play my fingers in and run through the set. Put the original track on and heard stuff I never picked up on when I first listened. I seriously thought I had these lines down. Sometimes think I'm so stuck on learning the structure and having the bass in hand I miss the nuances as I'm always picking out sections. when I listen without the bass in hand I hear all this new stuff. It was good to get a wake-up call.

Very sad news. Please pass on my thoughts to his family. I always find it incredible to read about the resilience shown with such a horrible diagnosis. You gave it a bloody nose and the rest.

We have 2 of these. Work perfectly for us https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Eurolite-LED-BC-6-Beam-Effect-DMX/art-LIG0010885-000?campaign=GShopping/GB&ProgramUUID=HADAqJarPzAAAAFlea9yjI.G&campaign=GShopping/UK&ProgramUUID=HADAqJarPzAAAAFlea9yjI.G&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw17qvBhBrEiwA1rU9w-OCFSOsyAIV7vBTjwOcsPr_7cPRuT_sBLlc931cVe_iD3i-9qR-oxoCejMQAvD_BwE

Love the lyrics " A great day for drying" could be my Ma

Mighty! whats the name of the band?

I consider myself a Pro. Profoundly poor and wanting.A proud weekend warrior who has spent a fortune on gear and listened to arseholes telling me if I play their festival/venue it will make me rich. There's a difference between being in a famous band and being a career bass player. Not sure I'd cut the mustard with either but the gigs I do people are happy and enjoy it.

Get off this site!! Only joking. you are at the start of your bass journey. Learn what you like and enjoy and build confidence. At some point, the rest will kick in. First and foremost enjoy what you are achieving.

I used to regularly play Painterman in a Disco band I was in. Stonking bass line

PLAYEEEEEEER!

Dont worry. Changing to IEM is life-changing. It does reduce ear damage as each of you will have total control over the mix you need and the volume you hear the mix at as each unit can set their own volume via your aux outs and the wireless pack. I really think it has made the bands I play in much tighter as players and definitely vocally as you hear your own pitch with much more clarity. There is an argument that you lose the overall vibe or presence of a gig but we often place a couple of mics facing the crowd to add a bit of room presence to the mix.

For my penny's worth, I'd recommend going digital. You can get some incredible rack-mounted options with a shed load of inputs and Aux outs. behringer et al do some great mixers. As @tauzero said ask the drummer to purchase his own mixer reducing the need for several inputs on a desk or get one of the fab rack-mounted mixers. Just work out how many inputs you need as a band. In-ears is the way forward. As a curve ball drop your backlines and invest in something like a Helix and go straight into the mixer. A couple of RCF 745 and there won't be many venues you can't play at. As for who owns what. Whatever you buy will drop by 20%n as soon as you walk out the door. So i wouldn't think about the investment to much. If it provides your band with the sound and ease of setup jump on it and enjoy

Ive never heard of this maker. Can i ask why they are above and beyond? Interested to know your reasons.
