"Solves a problem I don't have......."

Put to good use I'd say. You can't sell it now 🤣 -

When you think you may have too much gear......?
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to ossyrocks's topic in General Discussion
Doesn't really help the on-stage sound though. -

I'd swap a keyboard player with a heavy left hand for a loud drummer any day. -

I’ll wager if your drummer pops round to see @cetera he’ll think he has some catching up to do 😎 -
I first became aware of the RHCP with the release of the Abbey Road EP and have been hooked ever since. Mother’s Milk was therefore my first proper RHCP album and I have a real soft spot for it. I’ve seen them many times with Kiedis being in various levels of form. I forgive this as the rest of them are just so good IMHO. Love the little side jams they shove in the set, something which I’ve tried to incorporate into my band. I was very sad to see John leave, but if he hadn’t, we wouldn’t have One Hot Minute, which I also love.

Bringing stuff for other people

They’ll never learn 🙄 -
@JapanAxe and @ChrisDev - thanks guys for your responses. Just got home and I’ll have a look asap. Out to work again first thing tomorrow then off to the gig. Really appreciate your help 👏👏

@ChrisDev - I don't suppose you've done Sylvia by Focus by any chance have you. I would normally sit down and write it out myself, but I need it by the weekend and don't have time between now and then.

Aerosmith retire from touring
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to bassbiscuits's topic in General Discussion
Been a fan since what seems like forever. Saw them at The Toxic Twin Towers Ball at Wembley in ‘99. What a gig! Sad to hear ST is hanging up his mic, but it sounds like a sensible move. -
I’ll chuck Mike Lull into the mix. You won’t get a new one for £2k, but you might score a used one for that ball park. The B on mine is fantastic. They are 35” scale tho. For my money, 35” scale basses shouldn’t be disregarded in terms of 5’ers. Mike Lull MV5 at Bass Direct.

How was your gig last night?
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to bassninja's topic in General Discussion
Heard a few horror stories about The Bull, as I'm sure you have. Not played there for a while. Hope tomorrows gig goes better. -
Cripes. I'd have done it myself for £300 😎

That seems a lot of dosh mate. Where was it going? I assume it was of significant size/weight as well?
-
Noted. Deleting number from phone 👍.

What's the best way of rehearsing remotely / online?
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to Teebs's topic in General Discussion
Just been online with SonoBus for the first time. As a former user of JamKazam, I have to say this is much better and user friendly. Full rehearsal this next Tuesday, providing the drummer can get on line by then. -
That is a right result. I’ve played a few and they were much much heavier. Enjoy 🤘
-
Dare I ask how much it weighs?

@triplebass - I take your point, but it's been like it for years. Many years even before this.... -

Hard Rock Cafe Basses
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to hiram.k.hackenbacker's topic in General Discussion
Mrs.H and I are currently at HRC Dominican Republic and there is a dismal selection of basses on offer here. The first one I saw was in the main concourse and is probably one of a thousand that Gene Simmons has played @cetera. The second was on display in the HRC shop and isn’t a celeb bass - just a bit bizarre. I’m still not sure what’s going on here.
