Skold303 and silddx... will you EACH please pick a picture and mail PM me links to me This time around I think we should be able to hear a transition between the two pictures. Also, you two... no conferring.

The beauty of it is (imo) that the judging is entirely free form. People will vote for different things for different reasons PS. Here's one of the reasons I didn't have time for an entry this month [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./poni/149301606"]http://www.reverbnation.com/c./poni/149301606[/url]

And here's one of the very reasons I didn't manage to get an entry to this months competition: Any reviews / comments appreciated [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./poni/149301606"]http://www.reverbnation.com/c./poni/149301606[/url]

Announce tomorrow morning

I wonder what EMG circuitry would do to a Musicman? or Glockenlang... The Dingwall Super J uses Glockenlang iirc and it sounded mahooosive!

Well it DOES look old, I'll give them that

[quote name='witterth' timestamp='1351525613' post='1852169'] wow!! you must be Really good [/quote] nah, I just play songs that were previously crap But seriously, I wouldn't change the bass line unless I thought it would sound better with it changed would I? Seeing as I learned the original first

As a bassist.. mixed bag. Got confirmation from a venue about a gig, brilliant! The venue then changed the price of hall hire from free to £25 an hour (original agreement was we get as many along as poss, they sell booze). Three bands I invited to play with us really wanted too but unfortunately they've all not been able to do it, they let me know in plenty of time so fair enough but still... Gaaaaargh!

[quote name='witterth' timestamp='1351524689' post='1852142'] Sorry,Cant agree, do it properly is my thing [/quote] Do it better is mine

[quote name='witterth' timestamp='1351511038' post='1851866'] "own stamp" or "my version" often means "I cant be arsed" to learn it properly Just a thought (dons tin hat) W [/quote] -1 I learn the original and keep the bits I like the rest becomes my own

Sounding good man, maybe a touch too trebly for me but awesome playing to top it off PM'd btw

Newtone custom gauge/tension strings for drop C tuning. Thunderousness

fumps is next in line after me whether he likes it or not

Next in line after netballman

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1351450796' post='1851361'] i did a quick noodle to add for this month if you want rick, its pretty sh*t but i only did it to give me a practice so i can do next months one properly [url="http://soundcloud.com/rockfordstone/stand-my-ground"]http://soundcloud.co...stand-my-ground[/url] im not fussed about being entered into this months runnings, there are a lot of better offerings than this anyway but up to you mate [/quote] Added

Depends on the band, but generally I'll right my own parts and just include any "important" hooks from the originals. Not out of laziness, more a sense of wanting the bass part to be "my own"

Buy instead of rent

Pinned :-)

Hi all, Looking for a metal band to support us on the 30th November in St Neots (near bedford/cambridge...ish). If anyones interested can you drop me a PM please. We're struggling to come up with support acts at the moment, happy to repay the favour : My bands in my sig (Cerberus Cell)

It takes time to listen to them all I'm trying to get through them monday

Well here it is guys and girls. Cerberus Cell are finally releasing their first album but first here's the first ever gig with the entire setlist, come along and laugh at the bassist [url="https://www.facebook.com/events/484597818239221/"]https://www.facebook.com/events/484597818239221/[/url] Honestly though, if you can make it, it's free and all attendance would be appreciated

Cheers Hamfist, For anyone who's interested [url="https://www.facebook.com/events/484597818239221/"]https://www.facebook.com/events/484597818239221/[/url]

Yup I had that recently, unfortunately it took an uninstall/ reinstall of the lot to fix it I'm afraid

Typing this on my phone so I apologise if predictive gets the best of me but I just need to share this info! For the first time ever were looking at headlining a gig! This is all happening because for the first time we'll be playing every song from our first album live! Psyched much? Yes!! We've just waiting final confirmation on the venue, pa hire is sorted, lighting hire is sorted, print firm is primed and waiting for final artwork for posters, band banner is printed. We're doing this bleeder on a tight budget too as we particularly want the door to be free on this particular gig as this town (st neots, cambridgeshire) has shown us our best gig to date. The thing that's annoying me at the moment? I've contacted two bands about supporting us (both of which have previously said they would love too) and I've not even got a message confirming receiving the invite. I just want this final bit to fall into place already we've still got so much to do by the 30th November :-(
