[quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1508173987' post='3390269']... Pictures to follow when I find a site that will let me embed photos, photobucket is not what it was!... [/quote] Using the BBCode link supplied by an external photo account such as Flickr, Imgur or Imgbb is a good idea; the photos are better presented and it uses no BC server space. I use Imgur (it's free...); here's what it looks like (the correct link for Basschat is in green...) ... Others are similar (assuming use of a PC; I know nothing of other devices...). Hope this helps; meanwhile... Have a nice day Douglas -

[quote name='Steff' timestamp='1508158016' post='3390113'] I understand it's the forum rules but maybe leave at least the name of the member when deleting comments? As long as the said rule breaking comment isn't displayed anymore, it's not gonna hurt and I'd be able to actually contact the guy and discuss whatever he's got to offer. [/quote] You're right, of course. I used to copy the entire illicit post and send it back to the perpetrator, so that he/she may compose a PM with the same information. Why don't I do that any more..? There's too many of the blasted things, darn it..! Am I getting slowly more and more grumpy in my advancing years..? Quite likely, but I've less and less time left to do stuff on this planet, so I am beginning to pick and choose. Just for you, and just this once, the offer came from [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/40446-chris-tommo/"]Chris Tommo ...[/url] If it was serious enough, you'd have received a PM directly by now, though. Good luck with the sale, however, and thanks for posting.

There seems to be a different target audience, I'd say. Some have dancing in mind (a Saturday night out at the pub...), others more of a concert attitude, with a (preferably seated...) audience listening and watching. In my (distant..!) youth, I can't remember ever having assisted at the former, but spent (too..?) many late nights at clubs, concerts and festivals of all sorts, watching and listening to 'live' bands. I can't really imagine folks getting up to dance to Pentangle, for instance, or Johnny Winter. Originals bands are in the latter category for the most part, I'd suggest, so choice of repertoire and pick of songs to do (including some covers; it's often done, and allowed...) have very different criteria. Maybe things have changed with the advent of discos and raves and such, though; I wouldn't know.

... and what do your second keys, second guitar, horn section and percussionist have to say..? Are they up to it..? What..? None of these..? It's basically a drum solo, then..? If your drummer's [i]really [/i]up to playing what that bloke on Youtube is playing, [i]he's[/i] in the wrong band. Those sights are very, very high, and if the full orchestration is not there, personally I can't see the point. It's a funny ol' world, right enough. You're in a high-flying ensemble; make the most of it and fly with 'em, but remember the story of Icarus.

It's the absence of the apostrophe which is more worrying.

Of course it's quite reasonable to expect hits from the '70s and such to be played on bass guitars, in the same way as Schubert is still performed using trombones. However, if the question means 'What's the future of bassists in future music hits..?', I'm not so optimistic. I reckon the bass 'sound' will still be a component, but there'll be less and less 'real' instruments of any kind, except maybe as samples. Bassists will still be around (although aging...), still bemoaning the long-gone heady days of 'slap-fests' and 'heft'. The world will move on, despite such acrimony, and 'Any good for metal' will no longer be recognised as a valid, grammatical phrase. 'Wodja mean, metal, innit..?' will be the future response, coupled with scratching the top of the head.

What happens if the volume of the drummer's click is reduced to zero..? Still the crosstalk..?

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1507902451' post='3388701'] In post # 2, although no F sharp is written on the clef to indicate the key is 'G', it is indeed 'G'. (same as record). In post #11 it has two flats, but should be one. Tone down from above. But I think you know that and are just testing us all out, you crafty senior, so & so... [/quote] 'Fraid not. I was just trusting that if there was no other indication, t'would be in 'C'..! Dumb or what..? I did look it up (I don't know the piece...), and all I saw was in 'C', too, so maybe I'm not the only dunce. Whatever; the second post is the first (in 'G', if you say so, but missing the sharp in the key signature...), but down a tone. Ignore the extra flat in the key signature (play just the Bb one...) and it'll be fine, no..? Edit: There, at least, is one advantage of Tab; it's correct, whatever the key signature booboo..!

[quote name='casapete' timestamp='1507887750' post='3388529'] The part in post #11 looks like it’s in B flat but is actually in F?! [/quote] What key is the part in post #2..? It's supposed to be in 'C'. The post #11 version is a tone below that. If any other key is required, it's a matter of minutes for me to change it. Just say how much higher/lower than the post #2 version.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1507838175' post='3388341'] I can change a Morris minor head gasket with my eyes closed, computer stuff well that's a different matter! [/quote] Concentrate, lad..! Now is not the time for playing with your little cars. Put that gasket down and sit at the desk ... No, not that desk; the one with the computer screen. That's better... and stop sulking; it doesn't become you. Now, send me a PM with your postal address and I'll get these sheets printed up in A4 and send 'em across. ... I said stop sulking..! It's not always [i]entirely [/i]your fault, and I've not scolded you, yet. A smile, please..? No, I mean a [i]real [/i]smile, not a 'Just William' grimace. That's better. Now, off you go and play with your little friends... And George..? [i]Don't[/i] do that..!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1507836789' post='3388332'] I can't work out how to get at it! [/quote] Is your computer plugged into a wall socket and switched on..? Is the keyboard plugged in and working correctly..? Do you use a mouse; if so, is it working correctly..? Have you tried switching it off, then switching it on again..? ... or (on a PC...) ... Right-click on the document link Select 'Save linked content as...' Save to local disk, using one of the names suggested, as a 'pdf' file. Failing any of the above, take up knitting, and ask on Mumsnet if anyone has the pattern for [insert favourite cardigan here...] Hope this helps.

[quote name='Left Foot' timestamp='1507818614' post='3388188'] YAWN! I've tried to post pictures for John but there is something up here. I know how to post pictures but constantly getting the error message that the code is not allowed on the forum, even tried Dad's way. Stick this up in your browser and kill the spaces. h t t p s : / / i m g u r . c o m / a / 8 B Y e 2 [/quote] Works fine for me, and easier than adding all those spaces... I preceded the link with [ img] and ended it with [ /img] ([i]those [/i]spaces need removing, of course; they're there just so that you can see the code...)
