Hit it a few times then scream at it. That usually works

I gave up after 9999 and a half hours.
I decided it wasn't for me!

I'm gonna nominate one of the players who has had most influence on me it's hard to say which one the most but I'm gonna go with Neil Murray. Probably overlooked for the un-trendy band he main work was with.
Tasty playing on this.

Many years ago I disappeared down a wattage rabbit hole in the Amps and cab section. It was very enlightening. The main thing I learned I wattage doesn't mean volume.
Learned all sorts about ohm's, matching cabs, speaker sizes, dispersion etc.
It's worth a go

I bought a train ticket on Friday to get home (Derby --> Capenhurst). I went for the cheapest on Trainpal, although it didn't actually offer a choice (sometimes there is a choice). Sometimes on the ticket you'll see a route restriction such as "not via Liverpool Lime St".
On my ticket, it said "via Stoke-on-Trent only".
My thoughts are with you at this difficult time!

What about getting both getting a train and meeting half way, like Stoke or Stafford? Probably Stafford, no-one should have to go to Stoke!

I'm really interested to see how the Azure Lagoon looks once all the coats are done - I have also been caught out by the 3 month shelf life and foolishly tried using it on a dark wood - did not go well! Yours looks great already though.
I'm not so sure yet, going on well in some places and not others. I'm hoping it builds up well but I have no experience in this.
I also ordered the silver highlights so if it doesn't look good I may just splurge them all over it.
If I'm still not happy I'll end up spraying it in orange nitro.

I’ve heard people say this as well - if you try a Stingray Special you find this doesn’t happen - but they have neodymium pick ups and an 18 volt pre amp so are more powerful.Its interesting, I tried out a couple of 70s Precisions a couple of weeks back and was expecting them to sound very different from Stingrays, especially as far as the G string was concerned - curiously they didn’t at all.
Having played a couple of deps recently with bands with rock sets, and crunchy guitars, and using a Stingray I found I needed to be in certain parts of the octave and on certain strings to avoid being in identical frequencies to the guitars at times (and to turn up) - to avoid disappearing into the bottom end morass - the guitarists tended to play with lots of bass sound and bar chords favouring the bottom strings - the only other time I’ve experienced this type of problem has been with keyboard players with heavy left hands (and possibly they hadn’t noticed they’re playing in ensemble so don’t need to play absolutely everything).
Im afraid that certain parts of bass guitar are going to disappear into the mix when playing in those sort of situations - however a Stingray can most definitely be made to cut through a mix, or alternatively form a part of it by playing technique and EQ - however it should always be judged by the sound coming out of FoH rather than a poor stage mix!!
If it causes a problem, best bet is to move on to something else (exactly what I did with Fender P and J type basses way back!!).
I always make the guitar players roll lots of bass of their sounds.
I tell them 'that's not for you'

I've also sanded the body down today ready for staining. Spent about 2 hrs doing it but I'm not 100% I've done the sides enough. I will probably give them a quick going over again.

I saw 'intermittent tinnitus' at a prog festival in the 90s. Great band!

Just caught a bit of Elbow's performance.
I really don't get elbow and the fuss around them. They are just so boring.

Just stand behind your grunge influences and get rid of the guitar solo.
Also, call the guitarist a fret wombler. That's what I remember from the 90s anyway.
(Obviously I didn't type wombler)

But which pick is the best pick for good songs to learn with a pick?

I absolutely can't get enough of this at the minute. Listening to it back to back.

Been firing band members since I was 14. Not had to do it though in the last er......lots of years because I struggle to find the right people.
My best experience though was getting fired from a band I wasn't even in!

Not instrument snobbery but musical snobbery.
I went to a Jazz Fusion jam night in Manchester in the mid noughties. I was wearing a motor head T shirt. I got up with a guitarist mate to jam and the drummer said in a derisory tone
" you're wearing the wrong t shirt for here mate".
I said " just play you're f*##ing drums and try to keep up"
We dragged em all over the place, musically speaking.

I've just applied the first coat of the wudtone colourless base coat. It seem to take better in some places than others. Having never done an oil finish before I'm not sure if this normal. I'm assuming I haven't sanded it as well in some places. It seems to have taken everywhere though and it's all on the back so not too bothered.
I'll see how it dries. Still got two more base coats and then three top coats to do.
