[quote name='Sibob' post='674313' date='Dec 4 2009, 04:46 PM']You're right, 'Everyday I have The Blues' is the first track from the Trio set, think I was getting muddled up cos the OP made me put the DVD on and have a play along , love the intro to EIHTB. Si[/quote] Me too. Always find it inspiring to watch/listen to if I'm feeling a little musically "jaded,", if you get my drift.

Just for the record, I had a fairly lengthy exchange of PMs with Brian and experienced no problems at all communication-wise.

Weekly bumpage.

Bumperama.

I'm old.

Bump and back to the top. Why is it that communication within bands is so p*** poor? If I get a phone call offering me a bass slot in a band and I accept it, am I being unreasonable in thinking that some sort of agreement has been reached? I'm pretty cynical to be honest, but obviously not cynical enough!! Oh well, onward and upward. PS: I'm not bitter, honestly!!

I would[b] strongly[/b] recommend you to consider one of the Warwick Streamer Standards currently for sale here. Not only are they of exceptional build quality, they represent incredibly good value for money and have very slim/fast necks. Personally, I wouldn't go anywhere near a Rock Bass equivalent. All IMHO.

Withdrawn as all sorted now.

PMd again.

[quote name='bricummo' post='640083' date='Oct 29 2009, 02:36 PM']Hi there guys, Bit of long shot, but I'm looking at doing a 'large scale' Peter Gabriel tribute band next year. It will be fully promoted, fully pro mainly playing large theatres so I need serious musos only. Obviously one of the hardest parts is finding a guy who can fill the big mans shoes, so Is there anyone out there????? We are mainly based on the NW England area and have a full 24 hour rehearsal space fully self contained. If anyone thinks they might be up for it I'd love to hear from you. Hope to hear from you soon! Kind regards, Bri x[/quote] Well, I do have the haircut and I have latterly been doing theatre shows.

[quote name='BassPlayerJob' post='638269' date='Oct 27 2009, 06:14 PM']After 40, the cells mutate Far too many band members would have to wear hats on stage Seriously though, the songwriter said: [i]"we're looking for a very specific style and the age range thing is just a guide."[/i] Granted, it's harder to find the right bassist using a plectrum, but that's what he is after on his songs. Thanks for your interest anyway.[/quote] Hats?? What [b]are[/b] you suggesting?! You may well be right about the cells though..................................................... Good luck in your pleccie quest.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='638092' date='Oct 27 2009, 04:11 PM']Yeah, me too. I get much more from songs and band performances. I know bass can do a lot of things... I just don't really want to hear 'em.[/quote] Couldn't agree more.

Any particular reason for the age range stipulation and/or plectrum requirement? Mind you, I don't do BVs anyway, so I fail on that one too. How very depressing!!

Unintentionally looming retirement type bump.
