When you are a king - White Plains Queen for tonight - Helen Shapiro

I wont be there[i], I have a gig in Alton, Hampshire that night, so make sure there are lots of piccies!![/i]

I believe Captain Beefheart had quite a few musicians in his backing group which was never a permanant group

Your braver than I am, playing a fretless 5 string!!

Thanks for the tips guys, its been played through headphones, the little player in the kitchen and the in the car too. If anyone is remotely interested, i,ll post it in the recordings section.

I picked up a Boss BR 900 8 track from ebay pretty cheap, and spent most of the bank holiday weekend fiddling with it. Using the inbuilt effects and drum machine I recorded a version of Creedence Clearwaters 'Fortunate Son' adding several tracks of guitar, bass and keys and a rather dodgy vocal The thing is, I,m trying to mix it all together, but keep redoing it again and again. I,ll listen to it last thing at night, and it would sound good, but in the morning I,ll listen again and think to myself, the bass is too low or the drums are too loud, and do it again. Anyone any tips?

My first bass was a terrible Satellite short scale thing back in 1982, followed by a Westone Thunder 1 from my mates mum's Littlewood catalogue, that was quiet good. In December 1984 a bought a 57 Squier Precision in Fiesta Red, and have pretty much played a P Bass ever since.

Taken about 3 minutes before tripping over the bingo machine!!

Theres some nice pubs in Hammersmith by the river, if the weather is good!

My vote is for Brett Whatsisname from 90,s Britpoppers Suede. Now there is a bloke who loves himself! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2LFuElTufo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2LFuElTufo[/url]

he would probably get more bids if he offered to post it. I got a few good deals from sellers who wouldnt post.

Another vote for the band you either hate or love, The Beatles and Penny Lane. A great catchy pop song from Lord Macca, with some great bass playing too. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEyJ2EEvRBU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEyJ2EEvRBU[/url]

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1333311123' post='1599957'] The 70s original of the rather horrid cover version by Destiny's Child.

Ooh! Pointy!!

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1333182260' post='1598408'] Or like this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_THEC6hbnI[/media] [/quote] Good heavens!!

I just find impossible to play it like that! even the strings are upside down! Why not just get a left hander?

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1333147073' post='1598256'] What a travesty. They should have had the decency to change their name when they went all west coast AOR. Peter Green would be turning in his grave if he hadn't come back from the dead. [/quote] But Peter Green had Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan, the thread says single guitarist and L B does it all by himself.
