[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1462179238' post='3040764'] Does he do a cheaper version saying "Squier"? [/quote] or a more expensive relic?

[quote name='luckydog' timestamp='1462006392' post='3039464'] Age difference: if you're older it won't work if youngest member is less than half your age + 6 years. eg if you're 42 youngest member should be 27. Luckydog's law of band age And vica versa ! LD [/quote] We must be the exception that proves the rule then - oldest 57, youngest 17, and it is working so much better than when the previous 50+ year old left to be replaced by the 17 year old!

Sort of passed me by but liking what I hear. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYt4mPnC_Rc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYt4mPnC_Rc[/url]

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1461661702' post='3036464'] Get on to OBBM on here, top man, top prices and brilliant cables. [/quote] [quote name='funkyjimbob' timestamp='1461662151' post='3036469'] Great. Just dropped him a message. thanks [/quote] That was quick - usually takes at least 30 of us to rave about OBBM before a decision is taken

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1461705988' post='3037051'] That's it!!! Thanks. It must be a different version then because I've heard this song before and didn't like it. Don't mind this version but actually it's not as good as I remember. Still probably worth a play though. And doesn't it look like a Bills or Zizi's behind them? Got the bassist wrong didn't I? [/quote] Was a great description Ped - all I did was go onto the 4Music website and look at their Introducing page and there it was! Yes, it is a version recorded fro them, and a bit nicer than the full single version IMO.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1461704517' post='3037022'] S'all tactical I used to pin it... then I figured that people were skipping over it because they tend to ignore pinned topics... so I now let it bob up and down the running order of threads and give it a sly bump if it's nearing the bottom. It seems to pick up slightly more attention/votes this way. But I might go back to simply pinning it in future. It's a fickle business, for sure [/quote] Funny, I did wonder which route would be most successful. Got lost a couple of times last month, but much more visible so far this time. Great competition - keep up the good work!

Why doesn't this get pinned any more? (or did it never and my memory is playing tricks)? Some top tracks this month

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1461590428' post='3035887'] Cheers Lozz. Just spoke to them and going in tomorrow to try/buy. [/quote] Been using a pair of these for a year and very happy with them. Have gigged with just one very happily, but like the extra oomph of the pair.

Thanks Kirky, been in touch with Pete who runs the night, even if I don't get to play, probably more up my street than the punk night.

Crafter is a good call, but also Cort and Aria both make good guitars at that price point, and, as they are not "name" brands (same with Crafter) their secondhand price will often plummet, making your 3250 go a very long way.

Ooh, thanks Kirkby, right up my street. May have to bring my bass!!

Yes, I know Monday and Tuesday nights are not traditionally great nights for gigs but I'll be in Leeds at the PLASA show and wondered if there were any Basschatters playing - gigs, open mics, jams, folk sessions etc. Will be staying city centre - by the Royal Armouries. Cheers, Mike

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1461254313' post='3032961'] I know of a Bryan Adams tribute band who are sh*t! I wish Bryan would sue them! [/quote] Got it spot on then?

[quote name='Les' timestamp='1461079184' post='3031255'] They look perfect, unfortunately they'd have to be readers as well for our band cos' we're old and knackered. [/quote] And you'd want to take them off before getting to the kebab shop - don't want to be looking too closely...

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1460991606' post='3030441'] Yeah but when he was three, the family moved from Milwaukee to California. His parents are both STILL alive and in their mid 90's too. [/quote] oh well, guess it must have been Schlitz Beer after all!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1460962511' post='3030079'] He's from Milwaukee. Blue [/quote] Ah, finally I know what made Milwaukee famous

Yep, I'm one of those who doesn't like much in the way of solo bass, but this was something else! (Well, strictly speaking is was something else as it wasn't solo, but I'm not going to let pedantry get in the way of some great music)

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1460909954' post='3029711'] ..and a mere £880...kid's stuff [/quote] Well he does state it is a smaller guitar so easier for children and women to play!

Have recently discovered the joys of an MXR DI+, got it primarily for a bit of grit, but love what the preamp setting does to tighten my tone. Also handy as a standby if I ever need to go through the PA.

Nobody mentioned heft back then!!!

As Rich says, but also play straight, don't try and swing it. Good fun to play, simple but quick chord changes.

Wow, finally seen evidence of the Big Beef Chief - was thinking he was the BC equivalent of the Loch Ness Monster
