In a moment of what I can only adequately describe as mass hysterical insanity my band has agreed I should be allowed to make noises into a microphone during our set. Specifically the male lead in Love Shack. I believe their rationale is that it's not proper singing it's just talking really so what harm can he do? So far so good. However now I try to actually do it I find I can play the bassline with consummate ease right up until the point where I open my mouth and then it all goes to stinky poo-rags. How do you good folk recommend a beginner begins to master the art of doing one thing with mouth and another with hands when he only has one brain?

An empty guitar case will often get you into a gig for free.

Thank you so much. I'm following your advice from all these videos and it is really opening up my understanding of the instrument and my relationship with it.

I had headphones and it never occurred to take them from the box. Doh!

Thank you Stevie, I shall take you up on that.

I love them. Look so amazing on a jazz I saw on Sunday I had to buy it. Don't care if I have to move my hand position to accommodate the pu cover. On another note where can I buy them for a Ric?

Sorry yes a typo. I'll see if Epifani can shed any light

No rush mate. Enjoyed watching it but boy oh boy I wanted to hear it at the end!!!

Thank you so much for this Phil. Quick question, would this box be ok for a 10" driver? I know we had a quick chat on Sunday but value your written input so I thought I'd ask again. The speakers I have are Epifini 101218 with a 6.5 inch diameter magnet.

I broke my mug

This made me chuckle. I got severely glowered at for muting the singer's mic between songs in last week's rehearsal.

Seriously mate, it was a really lovely day

Wonderful day today. Nothing but respect for the organisers, lovely to meet so many splendid people. I learned much, got to play plenty of fine instruments, only came home with two more basses in the car than I left with this morning and ate and drank in joyous and delicious abundance. Thanks to everyone who made it all possible.

In my case more likely to be a shoulder of seitan

I'll bring a couple of items from Stew's dodgy shoulder emporium if anyone is interested. Home made curiosity and shop bought sensible variety.

She's beautiful, congratulations.

Duncan just sent me a digital mixer and the transaction couldn't have been better handled. Everything well packaged and in perfect working order and the man himself a delight to deal with. Buy and sell with total confidence.

Wonderful blog, great resource thank you so much!
