[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1420818784' post='2653877'] You can play fretless in any genre. [/quote] Me? Thank you, I think I will!

I was made redundant a few years ago and spent more time than I would have liked out of work. I had to part with my Blade B15. Loved that bass, best Jazz I ever played.

If he's going through the PA then you could always EQ the errant hand out of the mix... Failing that, there's always some improvised 'surgery'...

ANY keyboard player would make me leave...

Slander were out at the Park Inn in Darwen, Lancashire last night, and to be honest it could have gone either way. The venue has changed hands since we were booked, and the new Landlady didn't have any contact details from us - she wasn't even sure we would turn up, so there was no advertising etc... Long story short, she's really passionate about live music (spent many years putting on gigs in London as a day job), absolutely loved us and wants us back - it helped that a few dozen close friends and reprobates dropped in for a drink too. We played a blinder and everyone had a blast. Top result all round!

Well done for finding that. I was thinking about the end credits... http://youtu.be/qv0_WvI2s8I?t=50m54s

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1420820122' post='2653900'] I discovered only yesterday that you can't use a touch screen when wearing woolly gloves. (Just had a little chuckle when the only word my predictive text suggested after 'woolly' was 'mammoth') [/quote] That's just as it should be Shell! Kudos.

Anybody else sign up for the Waves 'Everything Audio' online video and catch Larry Graham laying down some funk with his drummer? Then completely f***ing it up with a NAAAASSSSSTTTYYYYY fuzz pedal and phase shifter? I was embarrassed to watch it.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1420837198' post='2654191'] Interesting I was thinking a [i]"pub band"[/i] was the sames as what we call [i]"bar/club bands"[/i]. Now it's apparent they not the same at all. [/quote] Sadly not.

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1420756571' post='2653224'] I suppose I like to listen to and play a range of genres. I'm using limiting in the sense of playing in a pub rock band means that I play pub rock. In a jazz trio I play jazz. I can't see these two crossing over. [/quote] Try.

My 'rules' for being in a band are fairly uncomplicated. 1) Don't be a dick 2) Practice 3) Turn up on time You're welcome

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1420725821' post='2652615'] i believe it has been found that the computer runs better when drawing files from a drive that is not the same as the system drive. [/quote] It's true, it's true. If you're going to use an external drive for audio (recording or samples) then I'd recommend connecting them via firewire over USB2 - there's less chance of the files 'bottlenecking' due to transfer speeds. As far ago as ProTools 8 (we're now on 11) Digidesign were advising against using USB for external drives.

I've got metric AND imperial. But to be fair, I've got both kinds of bolt as well.

[quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1420639829' post='2651614'] A new bridge is 99.999% cosmetic [/quote] The other 0.001% is pure, unadulterated MOJO.

how many lugs has it got underneath?

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1420562723' post='2650676'] Close your eyes, turn the knobs, wherever they sound best is where they should be. The numbers don't mean a thing. [/quote] …these go to eleven….

Dunno really. My band's real niche stuff (NWOBHM), so we only appeal to rock and metal bars. I've been on the phone most of the day trying to get gigs, and have decided to put together an e-press release, single page website with photos and sound samples, since that's what most places seem to want. That's my job for tonight...

Any album with Oscar Peterson (piano) and Ray Brown (bass). Sublime.

[quote name='police squad' timestamp='1420462545' post='2649544'] DHL are utter sh*te. They f**k up nearly everything I have used them for. [/quote] This. Useless w***ers.

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1420304820' post='2647858'] Welcome to Basschat - I wonder if we should run a sweep for when the bass GAS starts for you again [/quote] in 3…….2………1……….. Seriously though, welcome on board matey.

I used some candy floss / cotton wool type stuff that was originally packing from something or other at work inside my home-made 1x12" cab. I stapled it to the frame of the cab that houses a 50W no name driver (from a Harley Benton guitar amp, I believe) with a small port in the front. Perfectly adequate for playing at home and turns out it's AWESOME as a guitar cab... I think it cost me £20 in total. Don't get me wrong, it's never going to compete with a Barefaced / TKS unit, but it does what I need it to.

Johnny Cash is [i]not[/i] legal tender. Anywhere.

Singlemalt kindly let me have his Boss DS-1 for postage costs. Which was nice. He's a pleasure to deal with, and kept me informed of its whereabouts throughout the transaction. Deal with confidence BC'ers.

Canadian progress 'Rush' have never been in a hurry to do anything.
