[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1345423046' post='1777427'] Tell him. Tell him: 'Sorry, mate. You're a lovely bloke but you sing flat. Sort some lessons and get it right in the next 4 weeks or we'll look elsewhere. We don't want to, but we will if we have to. It's in your hands." Immediately you've told him this, start looking anyway. Then you've got a choice. [/quote]its the only way to do it

[quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1345403250' post='1777154'] Looks like he's cheating by using a pint-sized Precision! :-) [/quote]Is it cos he's got hands like garden forks?

[quote name='goingdownslow' timestamp='1345340303' post='1776501'] After getting to the gig car park tonight a little late and wondering why I was first there, I got a call from one of the other band members asking if I was ok. It turned out I had selected the wrong gig from the recent destinations tab on my satnav. I was lucky it was only 18 miles from where I should have been and I got there about 15 minutes before we were due to start. First time in all my years I have done that. [/quote]i've never done that, i'm far too intelligent, i just turned up one night at the wrong rehearsal rooms, unloaded all my gear then another band started bringing their stuff in, how stoopid did i look..

Bet a lefty is out of the question as usual

[quote name='zero9' timestamp='1345297349' post='1776016'] If you play any public gigs rather than purely function type stuff, it might be worth putting some upcoming gigs on the website. A potential punter may wish to see you live first. Alternatively, some 'live' video clips might help. Looks good though [/quote]+1

WAL !! i mean WOW !!

of course you don't need gig dates being a function band , i looked at our own website to see how they compared and that was the only thing missing.. good luck with it, hope it gives you plenty of work

Don't seem to be "gig dates" on there unless i overlooked it but looks very good

Good chance you'll get it back matey.. Someones not gonna find a lefty bass in a car park and keep it

I wouldn't want that back... Only kidding lefty, hope you find it.

Ah.. So he has 2 right hand and a lefty.. I think ill buy all 3.

Bottle o bud

Was it the left hooker stingray?

[quote name='Norm' timestamp='1345060612' post='1773100'] Plenty of 4 originals bands on the bill, half hour slot, £1 a head for over 10 punters you can pull in type gigs ie pay to play. But paying gigs few & far. One of our previously reliable pubs that would put on us as an originals band in amongst their normal covers bands has gone down to just saturday gigs & exclusively covers. Told us to learn some Foo fighters songs or similar. So we said Foo Fook off! (We didn't really, we just said nah mate not for us ta, speak to you again when the recession is over) : 0 ) [/quote]foo fook off... Ha ha.. Love it

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1345023092' post='1772348'] The hardest thing for me - at 50 , married , other interests etc - is continuing to sacrifice my weekends by arranging my life months in advance because of gigs. I wish I could go ' Oh - I fancy playing tonight then going off to party tomorrow' etc etc but you can't. You're ruled by a diary. Nobody ever asks me anywhere anymore because they got sick of me saying 'Sorry , I'm playing'. We get a good weather weekend out of the blue and Mrs Doc et moi want to take advantage by going off somewhere but I can't because I'm playing. That's the hardest thing for me. I don't resent it but it's a bastard sometimes. [/quote]yup.. A big + 1 on this

I have 2 Jazzes, a stingray and a Precision, all beautiful. Guess what one i play non stop?

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1344870994' post='1770401'] It's an all graphite Status S2 Classic that's been built to Chris' spec.... there's more info on www.status-graphite.com Here's my prototype 5 stringer [IMG]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/richardmatthews_photos/forum%20stuff/AllGraphite.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx159/richardmatthews_photos/forum%20stuff/AllGraphitecloseup.jpg[/IMG] [/quote]lovely...

I couldn't practice singing at home i'd get slung out.
