I played bass with Dante's Dog and drums with CreepJoint on Saturday at my favourite local venue The Rigger. There were a lot of people there, way more than I was expecting, loads that I didn't know, and both bands went down really well. I got a lot of compliments afterwards. Just gutted I forgot to turn on the GoPro!

Well it sounds nasty, in the best way, hopefully I'll catch you live at some point

I've just listened to everything on the Bandcamp and it's all great

This is awesome!! I'd love to know the setup for your bass sounds

That sounds cool! I'd have gone stereo into both Fridge's!

Thanks everyone! I'll pass on your compliments to Tiny the cat, he will be pleased I had another funky jam with myself a couple of weeks ago so:

Half way through mixing a 16 track album I took a break...

I agree, it's just a Bad Musician thing. You should tailor your sound to suit your band, and listen to everyone else as well as yourself. Those that don't are just bad musicians, and they come in all forms

Drummers are getting some stick in here! I play drums in a few bands. One of them I play very loud but that is metal. The rest I think I'm quite controlled. I play bass in a band with a very controlled drummer - first band I've ever been in without wearing hearing protection! On the other hand I play with a couple of bassists who have way too much low end in their sound and turn up way too loud! And still claim they can't hear themselves!

So glad you finally got it! I'd love to hear what the CEO actually said

Brilliant work! Really enjoying this thread

At his solo show, towards the end of the set he was playing a guitar solo, and it was already awesome, he really sings through the guitar, very melodic even though some of the notes were really "out there", but then he did his sing-along-with-the-guitar trick, which took it to the next level, but THEN he started singing harmonies over the top of his guitar solo, and he was right up the end of the neck on a strat. Honestly I got shivers down my spine.

He wasn't this year but whoever it was did a fine job. I'd highly recommend his live show, very funny, and very funky Also check out his solo album. I think he might have a 2nd one out that I've not listened to but the first one is great. There's some brilliant bass playing (no Joe) and one of my favourite bass envelope filter sounds ever!

not a massive fan of the sound but the playing on this is awesome! Thanks!

I'm still a bit obsessed. I've been following this Irish band called The Ollam because he plays with them occasionally. I watched every video I could of his bass solos from their tour this year

I think I just over-indulged in Joe - I'm pretty sure I watched every available video of Vulfpeck, Vulfpeck live, and Joe Dart's solos, multiple times, the whole time obsessing over his playing. That phase ended after I saw Vulfpeck live last year, and it's nice to have some of my life back

They are brilliant. I saw Vulfpeck live last year, Cory Wong's hilarious solo show this year, and Theo Katzman's solo show with Joe Dart on bass this year too. Although obviously I adore Joe's playing, Theo is the star for me. His drumming, guitar playing, and singing are breathtaking.

ah, cool, thanks! The cat is one of two kittens I adopted with my better half recently. His name is Tiny as he's half the size of his brother

Thanks PawelG! I knocked it up waiting for a mate of mine to come to the studio for a jam. He never turned up but I'd done this in the mean time. I didn't actually realise it was a weird time signature until I played it to a friend a few days later

not sure what you mean? The bassline?

Just going to bump this as I'm wondering if anyone knows how Rocco Palladino got that tone? Is it an octaver? Anyone know which one?

take it to Twitter like Geek99 did

Friday night I was just tickling my snare while the soundman messed about with his dodgy DIs. He didn't ask me to stop playing but at one point I noticed he was just glaring at me. I stopped and he went back to work. What's wrong with a "could you stop that please?", surely that's much more polite than just glaring?

I was watching the headline band one night and the bass was inaudible. My mate, who's the nicest, most gentle guy I know, went and very politely asked him if he could turn up the bass and he screamed F OFF
