You’re time tone is really bad, …very bad, a lot of people say my time tone is the best tone they’ve ever heard…no one knows more about time tone than me, a lot of folk say that…it’s great, really great. My time amp tone has stopped a lot of wars, really bad wars…Star Wars, robot wars (that was a really bad one)…warhammer,

Been feasting on Hiromi Trio Project tonight. Anthony Jackson, what a player, but his technique was so awkward looking, it gives me a headache watching 🤣 I'd gladly have his chops mind.

No Mike, just a fun writing/recording project. Getting loads of different mates involved. There will be an “albums’” worth of material in the spring/summer. It’s been fun.

Thanks. Glad you read the credits too. I’m both Hardliegh Worthit & Cardigan Fitzbadley. As well as Hue Manfactors of course. The rest of The Roster made their own pseudonyms. All fine players.

Only 2 tracks up at the moment. But it’s been fun with some fab friends playing on them. https://huemanfactorstheroster.bandcamp.com/track/just-a-prayer https://huemanfactorstheroster.bandcamp.com/track/go-dig-that-well

Flipping basses for profit – fair game or not cool?
oldslapper replied to Allaboutthebass's topic in General Discussion
I’ve done all 3 with items bought here and from other sources. Sold at a profit Sold at a loss Given stuff away My question is at what point does an item become “flipped”? One day, one week, one month? -
Calling Mod/Ska/Reggae players

Everything I own - Ken Boothe. Love that tune the way he did it. -
So they don’t like what you do, but aren’t prepared to take on the responsibility for any between song engagement themselves? Helpful 🙄 Good audience engagement is a skill. I’d prefer it kept to a bare minimum and only if the person is clearly interested in the audience. Not enough bands rehearse transitioning from one song to the next at the best of times. Too much gazing at their pedal settings, or tuners, or waiting for the drummer (or whoever) to count the next song in. Should be “Thankyou…1,2,3,4…” unless you think a song needs an introduction because of some significant meaning, or the guitarist needs time for a cuddle from their mum because no one noticed he brought his ‘63 Les Strat with the mandolin duck down bridge spoon. 🙄 Bands!!

Almost tempted, but what would I do with it...
oldslapper replied to alyctes's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I have owned the fretted version. Very nice bass it was too. Tempted but will resist. -
GH are down the road from me. I’ve scored some bargains and it’s good to be able to take a look beforehand. I pre bid, limit my bidding and don’t check in until after the auction has finished. That way I don’t get caught up in ”auction frenzy”. It may be different if it’s something I’m desperate for or is rare, but even then I limit my bidding. You’re right, it’s important to factor in the fairly high commission.

I constantly asked for separate vocal rehearsals with just an acoustic guitar. But was met with resistance, or guitarists turning up with full kit. 🙄
