Friends being people i socialise with and colleagues being simply guys in the band more like a workmate. Dislike is people i generally disagree with in the band or who don't pull their weight in the band. 5 : 0 : 4 : 0 I don't socialise with the band because we all live in different parts of the country and only meet up for rehearsals or gigs or the occasional band discussion night. We are approx 50 miles apart and living in countryside public transport isn't great after 9pm ish. We would probably socialise a bit if we lived nearer each other tho and that would change it to 5:4:0:0 Dave

Thanks for that. Its been one of those things i kept meaning to look up. I use my GK MB200 head as a pre-amp direct to FOH when using with my JamMan pedal loaded with sampled sounds. I did check the manual that this was ok. Dave

I'm no exxpert but i was always told with solid state or class D it was ok to do that with master volume completely OFF. You can't do it with a valve power stage but i have no idea why that would be different. Best to wait until one of the BC experts comes along with definitive answer. Dave

Think it was a Chicken.....

I never even noticed that In my defence i have been watching that many clips of Crazy Horses i just started to lose interest in anything else other than the start with the keys. In the first clip i watched from one of their Osmond shows the drummer sings the chorus while playing of course. I think the clip you're talking about the drummer takes over on bass as the bass player is doing the lead vocals and of course none of them will be playing anyway as they had a full support group directly behind them.

Not sure what you mean ?

Wee bit expensive for one sample but oddly enough i did think of that as one of mates used to have one.

My thoughts exactly and its the part everyone recognises in that song.

I've downloaded a synth sample of it which isn't too bad and put that on my pedal. We'll see how it sounds at next rehearsal. I personally think its an important part more so at the beginning but its not just down to me. Think once they hear it (or something) they might change their minds. Dave

I'm with you on that Paul especially the start but i'm out-voted. Dave

After all the searching and various replies and suggestions the singer and guitarist don't think its really needed. Thanks for all the help and advice guys and apologies for wasting anyone's time. Singers and guitarists HUH !!!!

Think i need to watch this. I've never been a big fan of Metallica apart from liking the occassional song but i really enjoy these band documentaries. Bit like watching a soap opera.

Cheers for that Ashweb.

That might help me load into my Jamman pedal as it requires a WAV file. I have an MP3 to WAV convertor anyway so should be able to convert my MP3 file i think. I have a synth download at the moment from JamMan itself that's not too bad and i'll edit that to fit my pedal. If it doesn't sound good thru PA i'll go down the original with drums and our drummer can play over it at the start. Not sure what i'll do in chorus and end section tho but i'll work on that. The start is the main one i think. I've attached the JamMan file below Crazy Horses Sample MP3.mp3

Afraid my phone only does calls and txts. I'm old I'll ask our keys player if he can do it on his phone. He only has a Nord that doesn't have the joystick or slider for pitch change. Good idea tho

Guitarist uses a Les Paul tho but agree most rock guitarists from a certain age group should manage this with a whammy bar.

If Rolf Harris is thrown in i won't have a leg to stand on. Us 3 little boys will be doing a runner.

I've seen someone do it like that on Youtube Pete. It might end up like that even if i sample the guitarist doing it once i can then set it up on my JamMan where i can trigger it from my pedal when he's playing the heavy guitar riff.

That's not too bad to be honest. The slider is demo'd around 1:22 I could see that working. £60 for one sample tho maybe a bit steep but might check ebay. You never know. Dave

Based on the comments i'm guessing he is a well known bassist ? Dave

Thought that might be the case. I could do the cutting on my JamMan spftware package so no point in downloading Audacity then. Thanks for your help and advice. Dave

That might be where we end up if i can't get the sample done right. Appreciate everyone taking the time to answer me on this. I guess that's why we love BC. Dave

Can you remove the drums from the intro kind of thing tho ?

Drumer has now got back to me saying he could do that and maybe its the easiest option.

Had a listen Steve but prefer the original. We are a 70's Glam covers band trying to reproduce the originals as near possible. Dave
