Many apologies, today got away from me a bit. I'll get it up tomorrow.

Not heard of double dots! Thank you.

Quick question. Two different ways to write the same rhythm. What I've learned is there should be a clear demarcation between the first and second halves of the bar, I believe both ways satisfy this. Also it's important it's easy to read. I'm unsure which fits that criteria best. Also I'm not sure about the use of the minim - acceptable or not really? Any thoughts or suggestions very gratefully received. thank you.

In fairness I'm relatively new to this lark, so I'm happy to do it. It's all part of the learning curve.

Music and those musicians who speak to us. It's such a deeply personal, primal phenomenon. I sincerely believe its impossible to explain to someone who doesn't hear it, who doesn't get what you experience. I gave an example of a favourite part of a song by a bass magician once. The first response was along the lines of, well that's nothing special, it's just such and such a scale over such and such a chord. The bass line touched on something special and inspirational in me. That isn't something I can give to someone else. You feel it or you don't. Cliff Burton clearly had this effect on plenty of musicians and music fans. That's great. You can't measure it, you can't explain it. And that's great too.

That's a very good score.

I found the out of tune singing easier than the others - I'd assumed as a bassist it would be the timing I was best at - but no! The out of tune singing set off a physical reaction, I actually recoiled at the bad one. Got one wrong, but frankly they both sounded dreadful!

118. Pleasantly surprised

Circle is coming along very nicely! Be finished tomorrow.

Not done any of theirs but I'm happy to take a stab at one. I'll report back in a couple of days

That's really nice. I love how different all these rigs are - that my excess can immediately be followed by your splendid and understated set up.

My little Bi-amp rig. Stereo power amp into a couple of BF cabs. Signal comes into the line 6 then from there to the crossover. Two outs from there, each going to its own preamp. A guitar multi for the upper frequencies and Cali sound for the bottom. The joy being I can experiment with multiple different pre options. Everything gets tucked away into the rack, set up and pack down is fast and easy.

There was a danger of me getting all Homer's car on it. But the first sketch the guy sent me was very minimal - it was, after all, only about the shape back then. And I was really drawn to the clean, minimal design. Just felt wrong not to add a ton of stuff while I was 'in charge'. But as time passed we junked the clutter and ended up with what I think is a beautiful, clean, understated design.

No one cares about how you look after the finish, let's see some pictures man. 😁 Ha ha! That's a really good point..

I will I will, but it's snowing...

Love this. Traces of Jello Biafara, King Blues, Scroobius Pip. Absolutely brilliant. EDIT in fact..

I sincerely hope so. Of course only gigging can get you gig tight. Its like sports people, they can train all they like but the intensity of a match is something else. But my reading, writing, technical skills and theoretical knowledge have all improved.

Whenever a song comes on in a book, I like to play it while I'm reading - helps create what the hip kids call an immersive experience. Sometimes it's a corker

I offered my genuine 1963 sqwier affinity jizz as a straight trade fingers crossed

Get thee behind me Satan! I still have a couple of HBs to complete my collection. Just to keep Thomann on their toes man.

You all missed your chance, she's realised her mistake, it's now £1,200.00

So no one wants me to go collect it on their behalf then?

The bass is done. It's a nitro finish. This is something I often read about here but have no clue about. Any particular care I need to take?
