The cheesiest of our cheese fest set list is probably this , is quite a tricky bass line to pull off convincingly http://youtu.be/hT_HWIIKbG8

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1485080030' post='3220882'] You can buy the labels quite cheaply online :-) Or about £3 a device.. (PS there is no legal reason to have kit PAT tested, just a bit of a scam IMHO..). See the HSE website for confirmation.. [/quote] also you could bet a months wages that if you were unfortunate enough to have an incident involving a third party there would probably be a firm of ambulance chasing lawyers chasing you down for your PAT and PLI certificates

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1485080574' post='3220893'] We actually do a cover of that. I hate that song with a passion and was not keen on the idea, but sadly, it really goes down well. <sigh> [/quote] my same thoughts about BLACK HORSE AND CHERRY TREE <mega sigh>

sounds like a job for an an epiphone EB the advantage of getting him a full size short scale will mean he will naturally develop a technique that relies on hand movement before he is unfortunate enough to hear of all this wretched one-finger-per-fret nonsense that so many noobs and learners get inadvertently distracted by

[quote name='phil.c60' timestamp='1484998683' post='3220250'] I agree with nearly all of this except.... "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Posters are a pointless waste of time"[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]All of our (mostly pub) venues demand and expect them. Some, not all, use them on their Facebook and Website, as do we. All of them use them on the walls to at least give the impression that there are always things going on at the venue. Whether that persuades people to come and see you in particular is an open question, but every little helps. Personally, if we play somewhere and there's a poster up for a band I fancy seeing I'll go if I'm not gigging. Would I be trawling through the listings and pick them out? Probably not. A case in point: was in a local pub last night and spotted a poster for a couple of guys I know doing a Sunday afternoon acoustic in a couple of weeks - I'll be there.[/font][/color] [/quote] this and depends how captivating the poster is too

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1483290461' post='3205961'] What about Chaka Khan? The outfit - it certainly 'gained your attention' if you know what I mean! [/quote] brings to mind the old catchphrase.... every stitch doing it's job

we played an established local 'rock' pub last night they thought our singer was joking when she asked if anybody had ever played Girls Aloud there

come along , laugh and point, etc etc

quite a few - i have that sort of tape recorder memory thing for music - which is quite nice

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1483328417' post='3206249'] That comes from listening. and listening and listening. To all genres. But i think you can really bed down into one and be really good at it. Not many can be a master of all genres. They call them session musicians, but its a bit like calling them a Lakland 55-02. They can get there but they don't really get there. [/quote] no no no its from knowing where the stops and pauses are ... all the notes in between are just filler

fancy... having your hootenanny shortened

nope finally gone lightweight with two hydrive 112's to take over from my hydrive 410 - my back/age decided for me saying that i will probably keep the 410 for posterity (and scaring guitarists)

two nice lightweight hartke hydrive 112's very good january sale bargain price and IMMACULATE condiiton buy/trade with confidence

[quote name='ians' timestamp='1482096910' post='3197656'] Over produced, over compressed and bland as hell. After all these years, the money and all those albums they should have got together on a portch somewhere in the deep south of the USA with birds and neighbours clattering in the background and done a live outdoor acoustic/recording with slide....boy it would have been so refreshing, would have been amazing..imagine it. [/quote] theyll do as theyre told - you dont get be 'Sir Mick' without consequences

quite nice innit

[quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1482055580' post='3197177'] I think flats lend themselves particularly well to both Precision basses and especially fretless basses. Any jazzy or dub or early rock n roll tone and you are virtually 90% there. I appreciate they have their haters but try them for yourself, I say. I use rounds on my Gibson because they don't suit every situation but they do have a place in modern music. [/quote] not hating on flats - they have a certain timbre which lends itself perfectly to certain situations BUT those situations are often very limited - so for the sake of versatility unless you have the luxury of having two fretless basses then rounds or halfs are probably the more versatile option

also depends on what type of bass the fretless is? if its a high end high value type of thing you might want to keep it as pristine as possible so flats or halfs would be the sensible choice to minimise damage to the board - however if tis something at the lower end then try with rounds and see what you think - personally my fretless is only a squire vmJ so not too bothered about the board wear to be honest - i have sanded it down once but there is 'minimal' string marking from the rounds on there now after about a years worth of occasional playing and even that is so slight as to be not noticable from more than three feet away and certainly doesnt affect the sound - if you do get some marks and you want to get rid of them you can always attack it with some light grade papers on a radius sanding block once you get drummed in to your head to NEVER BEND THE STRING and only use the sideways vibrato technique you shouldnt have too many issues hope this helps

i tried some of those black nylon coated flats once ... dull as ditch water bring on the rounds i say and growl away
