[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1464695378' post='3061468'] Yeah but all my songs just sound like I've nicked a load of stuff from other people and fitted it together. A bit like a sonic collage. [/quote] Yep mine too... but, and here is the big.. but...... to everyone else who listens they dont know who that combination of people are they might pick out a bit in one of your songs, as we all do when something reminds us of something, Just keep going, you will find you.

[quote] I think it depends whether you are just a player or if you write as well. If you don't write then there's probably little difference from a playing PoV. [/quote] yep that it a nutshell. Iv been harping on for years.... The best advice i can give and the best you will EVER get.... is this "[u]Learn to write songs no matter how basic,[/u]" for this one big reason.... everyone eventually finds their groove, and it will be a combination of two things.. your ability and your influences. Everyones are different, ..thats what makes music so intresting. your very own combination could be the next big thing. you will never know unless you try it, or .... all that DNA reciepe ONLY YOU have will be lost... forever. Inspired ? ? get ya pen out and stop Pi@@in about.

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1464541618' post='3060207'] He didnt mention the Wukka Wukka setting? [/quote] No ,but im sure he would know exactly what you are on about, my qtron is more of a quack quack setting, but my boss is more of a cow cow sound or flipped to woc woc but im after a more Bwow Bwow sound we do a track by nils landgren called "da fonk" the closest i can get to magnum coltrane price's sound is with the 3 knobed qtron but still would love the sound will lee had on that track, its fatter sounding. Da Fonk [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAogbmx6SHw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=FAogbmx6SHw[/url]

Please remove, i will redo it

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1464008821' post='3055686'] ^^^^ Come on, spill the beans... Video interview with Will Lee. [url="http://www.ny1.com/nyc/bronx/one-on-1/2015/05/18/one-on-1-profile--will-lee-closing-out-33-years-as-bassist-in-david-letterman-s-band.html"]http://www.ny1.com/n...man-s-band.html[/url] [/quote] ok iv emailed will, and what a great guy, he got right back to me "I used a Seamoon “Funk Machine” pedal on that one- it was my favorite envelope pedal, but you can’t find those anymore!" Cheers Will. so ...mystery solved, it was one of these.... iv got the sniffer dogs out now..

I had 2 of these, They have built in quality wheels So easy to get about, I don't think yours are a matched pair tho, did you get them separately ? a bit empty in the mid but great if you like a flat base but the top end is a bit flappy But for what they are I thought they did the job well and were wheely wheely good

Ahhh sorry, i dont know ? but want to, im going to guess its a Mutron first made in 72 and according to wiki was the first env filter. [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu-tron"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu-tron[/url] could not have been a dr q as that came out in 76 one year later than the Lp the mxr filter was 76 but there was a systech in 75, ?? and it was made in the USA, ..mmmmmmm some info and dates here.. [url="http://www.pedalarea.com/envelope_filters.htm"]http://www.pedalarea...ope_filters.htm[/url] iv always wondered what it was... Im tempted to send an email

great version of cissy strut. here is a bit of a largly unknown rare treat for yall im a big deodato fan he always uses great bass players, so you know your in for a treat. will lee played on his Lp "first cuckoo" from the mid 70s ( very rare on cd) i dont think it was ever released on cd tho have seen a jap import of it for a stupid amount of cash. ( if you have a CD copy please let me know ) great wah bass, ( just great bass on the whole lp) so the question is.. what is he using ? enjoy, [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jpTaVWhVis"]https://www.youtube....h?v=2jpTaVWhVis[/url]

Easy.. Pick both up and play them. One will ( if you are very lucky) say ... yes I like you. You will know it's right when it talks back to you. The problem is knowing when this happens, I hear loads on here saying "I'm sorry I ever let that one go" They know it after a long time of looking for the same thing They had their chance and may never find it again, no amount of cash will ever find that again. It's a connection thing,

Over the years I have found these to be my main reasons. 1, cash 2, ammitur attitudes 3, listening to time wasters learn the songs in the practice room, 4, sh!t drummer. 5, character clashes 6, no future 7, no control over playing, guitar always on 11, drummer leathering his kit. 8, stale set no longer fun to play. 9, no gigs, practicing forever. 10, better band offer.

Smaz, hope you found someone. and enjoyed the show. who ever got that ticket im sure wont have been sorry. For anyone else thinking of catching them........ Brother strut are one of the best bands i have seen live for lots of reasons, they are tighter than gnats chuff. All the band members are top draw players/singers they are fantastic guys, talking to them, photos, info, nothing is too much trouble for them all their Audience participation is refreshing to see they really do make you feel part of the show. the music is well crafted and catchy as f$£&. as a package they are hard to beat. They are on a mini tour and Steve has put all his dosh into this and so is really trying to make it pay, it works or it really is bust for him, Steve.. "fortune does favour the brave" . and i love the faith he has in it, inspiring so supporting them is well worth it if you can catch them now getting to the end of the tour, just go. You will be converted, and dont forget your dancing shoes.

Anyone goin ? should be good, gig [url="https://www.musicglue.com/the-zanzibar-club/events/15-may-16-brother-strut-the-zanzibar-club/"]https://www.musicglu...-zanzibar-club/[/url] band [url="https://www.facebook.com/BrotherStrut"]https://www.facebook.com/BrotherStrut[/url] vid [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyxHyy65HHg"]https://www.youtube....h?v=DyxHyy65HHg[/url]

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1461758397' post='3037356'] I'm tempted to join lol [/quote] ohhh..... go on then,,, al watch from the trench, and get the bandages ready

I have never had a problem with talk bass I like the more global view on things, Now.... If you really want to get jumped on, join bassesbyleo.com say something even slightly out and feel the wrath of mein fuhrer ( can't name him) who feels it's his duty to pass his comment on every post that goes on there, one very annoying person

hi Alix, yea spotted you with your hair tied back good gig enjoyed it, well done, the band played very well, best one for me was the ska type track with all the brass riffs in ( about half way through). your dancer at the end was cooool. all was great till i got the parking bill £13.50 for just over 4 hours ( NCP you ROBBING F%*&^%S,, Ronald Hobson i hope your Yacht sinks) anyway all worth it

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1461449352' post='3034799'] Years ago, Id have agreed. But having done it, and seen that actually, it does, I'm afraid I cannot any agree any longer. Weve had so many messages from folk who have gone on to buy Kates entire back catalogue off the back of one of our gigs. [/quote] Agreed, esp if you are doing stuff by a relatively unknown artist, as said we do alot of Lloyd jones tracks in the set and people always ask who did this or that, also even people who like blues i find are time locked in the uk and are not really upto date with whats going on now so its like education, we try to give them what happening now, not 40 years ago. and thats another area of tribute acts which is good, people who may have liked the artist 30 years ago might go and watch a trib band and hay presto are surprised to find that maybe the artist is still going and still pumping out great stuff, maybe enough for the punters to go home check out and order the new cd based on your act.

Haggis horns, hot diamond aces sheffield o2 did anyone go friday ? had a great night both bands were very good. Hot aces were support and i thought they were on it, for me they had a bit more to them, there was a more diverse spectrem of styles and i thought their sax man was just killer with intresting solos. but for tightness and just nailing grooves this is haggis's bag the bass and drummer are just rock solid. A great night had by all well done haggis and aces one for your funk book guys and gals. Dont forget ya dancin shooes Aces [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwUYklE7tcc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=SwUYklE7tcc[/url] Haggis [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dggVDk1RwQE"]https://www.youtube....h?v=dggVDk1RwQE[/url]

you could go back and beat him to it by anouncing you have raffle tickets with a prize in aid to meet your normal fee,

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1461238500' post='3032725'] When others are making a buck not just playing songs, but using the whole image and likeness is is not right that there should be some kind of permission or licencing agreement? [/quote] I think even playing the songs in a trib band is a gray area, esp if selling cds and using the songs on your site as promo. Im in a big blues band that do modern blues that do a fair number of Lloyd jones tracks, a sort of half tribute to him, ..Now I think its his own fault cus the songs are just so dam catchy , we did a demo with about 5 of his tracks and found we had a chance to play them on radio merseysideliverpool so i contacted lloyd jones and asked if it would be ok, and sent him a copy of the cd, he said thanks for asking him, he thought it was great that a band in the uk was promoting his stuff and go ahead. what an out and out nice guy. [url="http://www.lloydjonesmusic.com/schedule.htm"]http://www.lloydjone...om/schedule.htm[/url] i think everyone is so accessable now with the internet its nothing just to ask.

yes 3 years old, he said he would not hand over a penny, dont know the outcome, im sure most tribute acts would want to get their web address as close as to the name. but yea a bit too close is that one

I have just been reading this about meat loaf taking Dean Torkington from Burnley to court for basicly impersonating him calling him an online imposter, and wanted $100,000.00 from him, the court in the usa awarded meatloaf $25,000.00 + $4,769 in costs and Dean has to hand over his site and todrop registration and control of the website and transfer it to meatloaf could this open the doors to other artists ? (edited) how close is too close ? when choosing a web address [url="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2256547/Meat-Loaf-tribute-act-Burnley-forced-pay-25-000-singer-California-court-rules-online-imposter.html"]http://www.dailymail...e-imposter.html[/url] [left][color=#000000][url="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2256547/Meat-Loaf-tribute-act-Burnley-forced-pay-25-000-singer-California-court-rules-online-imposter.html#ixzz46SR5o3hv"]http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz46SR5o3hv[/url][/color][/left]
