OMG that background music is annoying.

I'm pretty certain that noteman is in fact Josh, and is just advertising (seeing as I've seen the username on multiple forums, and all they have ever posted are these videos)

My personal favourite Yellowjackets/Haslip piece - Spirit of the West http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gQyl2NiYk4

It's a Tribute - they don't go for much more than that new (well, £150 more, but still)

Just thought I would post my attempted cover of Spain, using 3 basses Sounds a bit muddy in places, but I am fairly happy with how it came out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_YD1ZUyQdY

Gasp - the other instrument section lives! Personally, I dabble in Sax and Keys, but neither with any real conviction.

[/quote] It's just called Pub Rock and one of the tags is called "Where is the drummer" They also didn't mention having to carry all the gear through the crowded pub, to the set up area on the far side of the pub.

How can this thread continue without the bass classic Glide! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q3PsoWbW9I

Yup, I'm insured on my home insurance (Direct Line I think!) and as long as it is with me (be it in the car or otherwise) it is insured.

I use audio interfaces plugged into my mac - it's rare that I actually get the amp out. That way I can really hear my mistakes, and can record myself if I have any good ideas!

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1324427243' post='1474252'] I have to say that the one thing that lets down all the other currently available tablets is the serious lack of kit available for us musicians. If you want to use a tablet for just reading PDFs of notation and maybe use some of the android apps then cool, but Apple have the market for musicians totally stitched up. There are so many peripherals, such as the Apogee Jam, the Digitech effects unit board thingy, and Alesis IO dock that make the iPad way more than just a tablet. I've never been an 'Apple man', but I'm so pleased with the iPad. I teach with it, run my business with it and as you have said, I can even use it for music sheets. IRealB app looks cool, though I haven't got it yet! I've been using GuitarPro for now along with another app I've forgotten the name of! Ha! [/quote] iRealb is one of the best apps I have used! So incredibly useful when someone says "Do you know Desfinado? I want to do it in Bb"

The iPad 1 would probably work just fine, although with the new OS updates it can be a bit sluggish (although, not significantly so)

Write out some quick and dirty lead sheets, marking the chord changes, and any significant points in the songs (stabs etc.) + a sample bass line for the first couple of bars of each section. Unless they have memorable bass lines that need to be dead on - then it's just a case of cramming!

When flightcased up, my amps are wider than my cab, so looks ridiculous. It sits on the floor.

Just a bit of constructive criticism, you have panned the bass fully to the left - not sure if this was intentional or not, but it is a bit distracting.

I've always had really good auditions, only for it to turn out that me and the rest of the band are on different wavelengths. Example - current originals band, had a really professional audition; nice guys, explain the songs to me so that I can play them straight off. We get on well and I'm thinking "This is a go-er" 1 Year on, 2 gigs played, and really can't be bothered with them anymore. It's the stereotypical guitar and drums problems - neither of them understand that when we are rehearsing, we aren't playing Wembley. I can barely keep up with a 500 watt Trace 4x10! That and when I am trying to talk with anyone (be it guitarist, drummer or singer) either the guitarist or drummer will see it as a perfect option to practice their fills/solos etc. When I brought it up with the drummer, he just looks really hard done by, and tells me that he needs to practice the songs too. Yes, you do. In your own time. During BAND practice, is not the time for solo practice. Last practice, I turned right down, and told them that if they wanted to be able to hear me, then they needed to play at my level. Only the drummer got the jist, so played quieter whenever I looked at him. Guitarist however, refused to turn down, and when I turned him down for us, he just turned right back up again. Oh, and did I mention that the guitarist refuses to wear ear protection? He's 30, and I am pretty certain he must be completely deaf by now. Even with full ear protection I sometimes have to leave the room because I can start feeling my ears hurting! *Breath* Rant over.

Yeah, I too have to give the love to MarloweDK - such a fantastic youtube channel, and really top player. Totally deserves a Signature bass. I think you can probably buy them either relic'd, partially relic'd or non relic'd - much like most of the Sandberg line.

Again, coming back from mine - my rig didn't see any action for probably about the same amount of time! And then a few months ago I needed it (no P.A. and no backline, and at an ungodly time in the morning, so would have no chance of renting/borrowing one!). I'd say keep it, or if you do sell it, replace it with something small and cheap - just in case.
