Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I didn't have one, but I had a good solo practice of bunch of songs using my Boss Waza Air bass if that counts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I might drum up enough energy to have a bash on my e-drums, whilst waiting for the F1 racing at 18h00. Other than that, rehearsing is at a quite low ebb. Maybe in a month or two, if the weather warms up a tad... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Had a good one today... Bit too loud, as usual but I can't get the drummer to be quieter! Still, polished up some endings in our existing set, And worked out structures for 3 new songs - one of which is my offering in this month's Composition Challenge (though the singer has completely jettisoned all my lyrics, so it's only the "music" wot I wrote). Need to be tight as for our Rebellion debut! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Today is the first Sunday this year we've not had practice. I'm bored now I miss the usual super loud session! Last week we had the walls rattling in another studio which is two units away! Some say a 4x10 is unnecessary, I disagree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 We've not practiced for two weeks now due to one thing or another. I'm itching to get back next week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Have not had a rehearsal since the band folded…. would love to have a few, not sure if I’ll be able to get to that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 The drummer was on vacation in the Caribbean. Two rehearsals this weekend , one with the core band and another with the two trumpet players. Next one is Saturday , and then one last one before the first gig. Then the bandleader is off to Quebec for six weeks , and then we start up rehearsals again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggering on Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Afternoon jazz quartet(piano, vibes, drums, and me on EUB). We have played together in other bands and we are just having some fun running through some charts and might play a few low key gigs at some point. This evening was the seven piece swing band and we were working on some new charts for a gig at the end of April, haven't had a gig for a couple of months so we decided to add some different material and had a good time with a few of the more challenging arrangements. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Good rehearsal yesterday evening with the psychobilly band The Spacewasters. We’re going to be on a shared EP so ran through the songs for that including learning a new (cover) one. Sounded great. Best of all it was 4-7 so was home in time for Married At First Sight Australia! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Reviving this thread. We practice in the live room of a studio. We're recording there next weekend and I took my cab (a Zilla Bass Fatboy 212), so I can leave it there with my amp to make logistics next week a bit easier. There's an Ashdown 810 that lives in the room, so I don't normally take my cab. Might need to start bringing mine more regularly... I love that thing. Sounded loads better. Deeper, more detailed, more focused - just better all round. Shame the vocalist/second guitarist hasn't been able to make it for the last three weeks though. He's had all sorts of illnesses from his kids going back to school. Not the most helpful time for him to be missing practices, but at the same time, I don't really want what he's had! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) We only rehearse about once a year, to go over a bunch of new songs, after that it’s gigs gigs gigs. Last rehearsal was about a month back, was quite fun, I enjoyed the little Hartke kickback combo provided.

asingardenof Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 We managed to learn three whole new songs yesterday, which is some sort of record for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Our old drummer is actually one of the better bass players in this region , and he snagged a gig he could not turn down. So we went looking for a new drummer. This is a project doing Mexican music. So the material is not the standard stuff. Beautiful material. You’ll never have a great band unless you have a great drummer. Did some auditions and one guy was it. Thankfully he signed up and we’re getting back up to speed. We have a December gig so there’s lots of time , we have a bunch of new material to add as well so I’m looking forward to the upcoming rehearsals. And in another project we do , one guitar player has returned to Boston to finish the degree at Berklee. We’ve got a replacement and he should be the perfect fit. We’ll simply get a list of tunes to learn and then have at’em. Next gig is mid next month. The rhythm section has been in the house band at the local blue dive’s Sunday jam for the last twenty years. And some young ones asked us to do the gig , we have a good number down now. It’s called 2Young 2Old and it’s the perfect name. So no full rehearsal but we’re expected to know the material , and be ready for anything. Should be fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 We're on a holiday break, rehearsal this Friday afternoon; I've not played a note since the last one, nearly a month ago. To be honest, I prefer not rehearsing every week, losing the desire in that, it's absolutely zero fun. We all know the material backwards and I see little point in it. Frontman uninterested in doing new stuff and pretty much forbids jamming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Great rehearsal last night and a little different to normal. We got ourselves a drum pad and we've been programming in various sounds, pads and layers that our drummer can active during a song. So this week we decided to have a stripped back rehearsal which was a nice change as its usually always too loud. No effects, just an acoustic guitar, voice, fretless bass and drums with brushes. We also wrote a new song which was sounding pretty good so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 We’re celebrating being together 40yrs this year. Rehearsals are going well, my voice (I’m also the frontman, we’re a 3pce) is warming up, and I thought I’d blow the dust of the old Squier Frank Bello jazz instead of the usual Thunderbird. Sounding good, via the Ashdown Mark King combo behind me. Not your normal combination? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasman Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Had to have a rehearsal last night because our singiste had mistakenly booked a gig in for this Saturday which she can’t make cos she’d forgotten that she’s going on a cruise on Friday ... ho hum. So one of her pals is depping instead. Bit of a PITA for the rest of us as we had to run through a load of our normal stuff that we can play in our sleep, only to find that instead of her adapting to our arrangements, it was her way or no way. Just for one gig. And key changes. All accomplished with fairly good grace and minimal eye-rolling between the rest of us. Oh well, it’ll all be ok on the night and I don’t suppose the punters will know even if it isn’t... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franticsmurf Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 First rehearsal for a while for the three piece (The Rip) and once the flakes of rust had fallen off it wasn't too bad. We're about ready to gig now, all that is needed is the edges to be polished and a few rough starts and finishes to be sorted. You always know when the serious rehearsing is over when the conversation switches from the arrangements to which guitars/basses are going to be used. 😃 I've played in trios for years but this is the first time I've been singing as much as I am (still mostly backing) and it's the first time I've taken more of a band leader role (personally I prefer a guided consensus approach but the other two are always looking to me for the lead on decisions). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Rehearsed this afternoon with Eddie Roxy & The Adjacent Kings. We're going to get another one in next Friday (13th), then we're at The Night Owl, Finsbury that night (https://www.fatsoma.com/e/v35rh1z0/lost-kitten-presents-desperate-fun-eddie-roxy-and-the-adjacent-kings-high-functioning) and doing a punk lunch upstairs at The Prince Alfred, Brighton from 2.15pm Sunday afternoon (15th). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 New drummer is great, and comes prepared for rehearsal. We postponed the first gig with him until December. We had a great rehearsal last night. Both trumpet players were there! Band is sounding really good. And the other 2Young 2Old will do the first gig with the new guitar player nine two weeks. I just got the set lists today , there will not be rehearsal , we’re simply expected to know the material. I’ll be camped out with the headphones this weekend. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Not a rehearsal but an audition on Thursday for the backing band of a young lady singer songwriter. The songs I was given to learn were demos, so the band were still kicking them into shape during the audition. I played fine and contributed the creative process, which seemed to be well received. Haven't heard back yet though. I've got another audition with a covers band week after next. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
