[quote name='Jonnyboy Rotten' timestamp='1382143689' post='2248723'] Why when I post from my phone does it upload the pics sideways!? Grrr [/quote]and when i turn my ipad sideways to look at em the right way up it turns them sideways again. Grrrr. Nice basses.

Yuk that's bloody 'orrible, can you build me a left handed one?

[quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1383208566' post='2261454'] Well my musical career didn't get far. Was in a band since April, it dominated my life and stopped me doing other things that I loved, got replaced (sacked) last week. Do I want to get back on the merry-go-round? Perhaps not. I'll sit on the fence in case anything comes along, but I won't hold my breath. [/quote]+1 to "it dominates your life" mate

[quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1383031373' post='2259209'] Did you see the documentary about the making of The War of the Worlds stage show? Herbie turns up for rehearsals on his very old BMW 3 series, and as he rushes past the cameras he blurts out something akin to: "See my car, a 20 year old BMW! That's how much money I've made from music! I've played on 500 (might have been 5000) hits you know" [/quote]no never see it Phil but i'll have a look on youtube

[quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1382987218' post='2258873'] Mind you, I will never forgive him for "Grandad!" [/quote]ooh dear yea, but i bet it pays the bills

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1382985683' post='2258846'] Up until recently, I would have agreed with you. I wrote notes out in black marker on half a tree of A4 for two dep sets I had to learn. I made the schoolboy error of highlighting some important bits on orange marker which worked great at the rehearsal. The orange bits vanished every time a red light came on during the gig! OnSong inverts the backlight to black to minimise stage light. Swipe screen for next song. No markers, no paper, no folder, no music stand, no reading light. Happy days. [/quote]i still stand my ground sir. But i do know where you're coming from.

If you don't like the key of A there's always drop tuning i suppose

I have a one in one out rule, laid down by the missus.

Set lists should be written out on A4 in black marker pen... Its the law..

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1382304121' post='2250519'] Paul McCartney's Rickenbacker 4001s. [/quote]you'd have to be quick to beat me to that one

I yearned for a stingray for years, bought one then sold it on 3 months later, now back to the trusty fenders, they do sound lovely but not for me.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1382193493' post='2249133'] Not really advice, but: "Your band sounds great. Just what I'm looking for. You'll get paid at the end of the tour" - Don Arden. [/quote]THIS... But John Hestenthaller

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1380152122' post='2221704'] Anyone know anything about Burns Sonic short scale basses? [/quote]there is one on ebay now Spike, £99 cos it don't work

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1380782221' post='2230377'] I was in a dodgy metal band when I was 14 and we played some real dives and inappropriate sized venues. The Standard in Walthamstow springs to mind.. All black painted walls with an enormous ramp the went out into the "crowd". It had the smallest back stage room I've ever seen with the grottiest sofa in all existence... Think the smallest we ever played was the Red Eye in Islington, the stage was literally about six foot square. Played quite a few needlessly large venues as well, played once at the Oval in Norwich with the same dodgy metal band. Had a massive stage and one of those floor to ceiling metal grilles at the front, presumably to protect us from the raucous crowd made up solely of the other bands and their girlfriends... Rob [/quote]the standard walthamstow !!! Fantastic venue

Yea and me

Anyone got a danelectro up for grabs?

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1380457539' post='2225478'] Worth a go for fiver. Regards your other question, just use YouTube or MP3s as normal and you'll need the software for the interface running as well to control you volume. Windows volume controls for mixing and matching your levels. [/quote]yea well worth a go for a fiver, says win 7 in the description so it will probably work

[quote name='Maude' timestamp='1380455346' post='2225434'] It's cheap and probably poor quality but please lets not get into that debate, but something as simple as this I suppose would be my best option [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Promotions-Guitar-to-USB-Interface-Link-Audio-Cable-PC-MAC-Recording-Adapter/310707231400?_trksid=p2047675.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D17233%26meid%3D1628186531065811607%26pid%3D100010%26prg%3D8045%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D190705823610%26"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Promotions-Guitar-to-USB-Interface-Link-Audio-Cable-PC-MAC-Recording-Adapter/310707231400?_trksid=p2047675.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D17233%26meid%3D1628186531065811607%26pid%3D100010%26prg%3D8045%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D190705823610%26[/url] With this I presume I can just play along to whatever I've got running and if my stereos turned on it should all come through that, or plug headphones in to please my wife. I can just double sided tape it to the top of the PC tower. [/quote]i bought one of those and it never worked ( with win 8 anyway) had to go with the more expensive focusrite saffire

When i had win xp i simply plugged straight into the pink input and my bass sounded great, no lag and i could play along to youtube, win media player, record stuff on audacity. Now i have win7 i have bad latency and need to use an interface.

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1380152122' post='2221704'] Anyone know anything about Burns Sonic short scale basses? [/quote]D'ya mean do they make a lefty?

A mate of mine gave me an acoustic 360 head and a (massive) peavey 2x18 cab for nothing, he had nowhere to store it, does this make me the winner? Although it was 20 odd years ago and i offloaded it 10 yrs ago.
