Is Attractive rock a new genre?

Take your ABBA record, and put it in a washing up bowl with soapy water.

Bit far for me from Cambridge, but GLWTS

Possibly?

We need clicks to keep in time because samples, effects, etc are going to be very programmed to tempos (because we're trying to recreate very produced music)

As yet we have no other midi data - we've got Drummer using a hybrid kit, (although he has some sort of pedal or button to change kits - that might well be midi?) Keys player using Mainstage - I assume a patch or a bank of patches per track Myself - Bass and Bass Synth (although it appears I might be adding a keyb)

Hello! I'm currently working on a start of a project doing classic house music and one of the things we really need is in ear clicks - primarily for transitions of songs etc Its not something i've ever done - I've been doing some research and it seems harder that I would like to set up! What would you recommend as the way to do it? I looked at mainstage but it appears you have to define bar lengths for things - is there such a thing as having something change to the next click track at the next tempo etc upon a pedal press (ie i'm assuming a midi signal - could thus be also a trigger pad?)

And perhaps the best reply ever too! https://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/im-handsome-like-phoenix-and-play-all-instruments-t1171843.html

Yo So I picked up a bass synth, because, well, I fancied the fun of it, and I haven't bought anything bass related for a good 5+ years I was wondering if anyone can point me to any beginner resources for synth - I guess it will be much the same learning techniques as keyboard? (I know what each note is but that is about it !)

Its a bit of a [Rocky] Horror in there.

Very excited for my new bass synth day - Ordered a bassstation 2, with a family/friends discount as one of my buddies works at novation I suspect my wife will be less happy with the wierd noises coming out of my man cave tonight.

Welcome, I'm just dowwn the road the other way (Huntingdon) but Hai!

Sorry to holy thread revive, but does anyone still have the copy of the dots/scan of the bass guitar mag with it in? The links earlier didn't work for me

I have managed maybe 3 years on major purchases - I bought a LS 2 pedal about 2 years ago , and a pre-amp for the DB about 3 months ago, but apart from that, its been 3 years since I bought the DB, haven't bought any basses for about 5?? and been using the same head/cab for about 5 too

Bought a pre-amp off Chris, super fast, paid on thursday and was on my desk 9am on friday!

Hes the guy who build an underground bunker isn't he?

This, I was formerly in a Ska Band doing similar sort of set It does get a bit bloody boring after 2 years of playing the same 30-40 songs every week though! Always a lot of fun though, and messing around with lyrics to songs like Sally Brown

Do you think I'd be able to use this in a pub gig? (Pete Wentz/ Fall Out Boy / BBC Reading and Leeds Coverage)

Does the filter pass the scunthorpe test?

Unless you have a sound engineer - if you have a sound engineer, send it pre so they can shape it to fit in the mix/ the room. (One of my biggest bug bears is function/wedding bands that dont have a soundman - the sound you set in the empty room at midday when it was 20 degrees is not going to sound the same when you've got 200 people in the room at 7pm when its up at 25 odd degrees)

1-2-4 is the Classical/Double bass way. I struggle on DB because i'm so used to playing 1-2-3-4 on bg, and going 3+4 as one note is just really confusing....

Really good. Went to the East of England Musical Theatre Orchestra playthrough with @haruki (double double-bass section - we're not allowed to say what the score was) Basic premise is hire a musical score for a day, spend a few hours rehearsing (and a few more for the singers) and then go through all the songs in a show. Great fun, seriously good singers and other musicians, and despite being a pretty crap DBassist, I didn't feel completely lost.

I felt this just warranted its own thread.
