What's Unique About Your Primary Band?
Stub Mandrel replied to Bluewine's topic in General Discussion
Two bands. The three piece blues band's secret weapon is an insanely talented young guitarist, the drummer and I have played with Alex long enough to have a sort of telepathy so we can improvise while staying really tight. Basically, if blues rock fans see us once, they come back Unfortunately, Al is also in a breaking indie band (playing Isle of Wight this year...) that are busy and getting busier. The other band is a bit different. We are all in two bands and have nothing to prove. We play songs we like (anyone can veto a song) and don't shy away from stretching ourselves. Our schtick is ckasdic rock, but we have an eclectic set list with songs people now but don't expect. Sex Bomb and Devil Woman, alongside Pressur and Time and War Pigs. We try really hard to be professional. We polish our songs, work hard on our sound, have lights, a banner, an image, cool posters, lots of humour and play with attitude. -
Agreed! no updates, and no trade offers at the moment sadly but I’ve had lots of messages on FB and eBay asking me to split it up and sell various bits…. I could but… Maybe I’ll just keep it! -
I have too many guitars! I’ve decided to sell a bunch of guitars and buy one really expensive one… so next up in my clear out is acoustic guitars Ibanez EW20ZWE - good overall condition but does have a couple of fairly big dings and some lacquer cracks it’s had since bought new in 2007 (which I have email proof of if required). Restrung with Ernie ball earth wood phosphor bronze strings for the sale. Electro acoustic (srtn preamp and tuner built in). comes with Ibanez gig bag - £250 Epiphone EJ-45 - good condition with only pretty minor age related wear/scratches, and restrung with Ernie ball earth wood strings for the sale. etc - £200 Eko E20 ebony ranger - pretty beat up and has the lacquer cracks on the front a lot of these suffer from. Cool as hell and I’ll include a new set of strings as although the strings are new I have been using it for home recording. £150 *Sold*Ibanez EWC20EBE - very good used condition and restrung with Ernie ball earth wood phosphor bronze strings for the sale.

Ralph, who always insists on attending our rehearsals, and then curls up on the floor farting and snoring, would be much more useful to the band if he took the lead of his puppet counterpart.

FOMO is strong with this one, but i echo that running both wouldn't really be a great solution to get behind. Cutting down to it could be anytime option, but don't know what the used market is like for QCs. I'd want a good chunk of money spare at the end of it.

A few things make us stand out. First, we're an originals band, maybe a few obscure covers here and there. Been going 26 years, have a good loyal following of all ages. No desire to be more busy than a dozen gigs a year. We have 7 albums out there on the usual channels. Second, we have no normal drum kit. Our drummer sold his a few years ago, (presumably to buy food since he'd just been chucked out by his girlfriend) and he came up with this: Nice small footprint, no cymbals! sounds great. We also have one of these wonderful things: If someone was to ask me what kind of music we play, I'd probably say Psychedelic Country Pop and instantly regret it.

Wow how is this only £250 it looks fantastic, has a great shape a bit different from a fender J without it looking weird, colour combo is wondrous and the non pick guard style is really nice. -
Hi. I started playing bass guitar in November 2024. I already knew all the power chords on a guitar and can make full chords with two hands on a piano. Once my arms were long enough at age 14, I played the trombone and achieved a grade 4 merit from the Royal Institution of Music. I played pop music on keyboards in the 90's, power pop on guitar in the 00's as an amateur, and both instruments in a wedding band after that for real money. Now I am to play bass. It is my calling. In November 2024, I happened upon a small pawn shop. Inside hung a 4 string Harley Benton TB-70. The bridge studs were coming out. I bought it and fixed it up. I plug into my Pod GX USB sound module into PC, or I have a tiny guitar combo for scratching about, monitoring on headphones or speakers. I've been practicing about an hour a day and don't feel half as awkward now. About a third of the awkwardness is still there. I've not bought an amp yet. I'm waiting to find out which world tour I get invited onto once I put some demo's out. Here it is. Big and heavy. I chose songs for practice that use different techniques. I've recorded my progress using bassless backing tracks found on the tube. It's a lot of fun. HB-70 demo 1 mp3 HB-70 Demo 2 mp3 That's my benchmark to improve from and lots of work to do. That feels like enough about me. I look forward to chatting with you. Yours sincerely Al Nico.

Just to provide context, I am a tightwad. I could pick up a 2nd hand, abused P body for not much. A 5 string P body would mean spending proper money. By the time I have dropped £450 on a body, I am entering the world of spending what a decent bass could cost if I add all the hardware. I am more than capable of talking myself into overspending. I do not even need another bass; this would just be a fun project. And you know how I feel about you calling me Shirley.

You can pop over and have a go on it! You know where I am.

Just to re-frame the question, why would it have to be a 4-string P body? Wouldn't a 5-string P body make the neck pocket issue pretty much go away, Shirley?

I was wondering why the 2 were mentioned earlier, makes sense now -

John, who organised it, has posted pics from the night. There's a video and a couple of pics of your band. John was a sound and lights man at one of our gigs and said "where have you guys been hiding?". He's been very supportive and came along to our last gig. He's a good fella.

Aye, thought about that.... Not tried other strings as the current ones are some expensive labe lla flats.... But did inspect for kinks and all certainly looks well.... Tbh I'm wondering if heavy flats are to blame... Ta again!
