  1. There was me thinking one had to do something clever, whereas apparently simply replacing one syllable in a band name with "dad" fulfils the criterion. The Dadles The Rolling Dads Pink Dad Dad Rex Dad Leppard Dad Crimson Dadesis Dad Theater
  2. Is it? I thought it just meant your hands would get slimy from playing it. I was tempted to put "plays like butter" myself, but that should really go into the "advert cliches" thread which was around a while ago.
  3. I learnt to play it wrong (in the solo) fifty years ago and I tried but failed to play it right, so wrong it remains. I'm fine on the verse.
  4. So do we, which is why "All right now" is still in the list (although it doesn't seem to get into the set these days).
  5. A P with flats is the only bass you ever need
  6. Fleetwood Dad Green Dad Spencer Daddies Group Palice Bryan Dadams DADDA
  7. I remember Jonathan King once saying that the average song structure is verse, chorus, verse, chorus, clever bit, verse, chorus. I find it starts becoming difficult when it steps outside that general rule of thumb - for example "Place your hands" which is all over the place and which you have to remember bit by bit. I also found some Green Day songs tricky to remember as the chord sequences were somewhat weird and then got followed by outros with completely unrelated chords.
  8. Ditto. I got to 50 seconds and gave up.
  9. With 3.7 has come a new HX Edit Pilot's Guide, which I don't think has been updated since 3.15. Which was nice.
  10. There's a Youtube video that explains very well why you shouldn't.
  11. I've been making up some shorter power cables for one pedalboard. Because of the relative positions of power supply and pedals, I needed some right-angle to right-angle and others straight to right-angle, so I cut a few of the leads supplied with the power supply to length and soldered the appropriate half to one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261536704983?var=560412003886 which is a lot easier than splicing wires together. Just don't forget to put the O-ring that holds the plug together onto the lead before soldering the plug on.
  12. It's about 34l, basically the largest I can squeeze out of a single 610 x 1220 sheet of ply (and with the not-very-accurate B&Q cutting). I've cut the various orifices in the panels but have yet to assemble them, I'll be pushing the front baffle slightly further forward to increase the volume a little. Would tuning to 55Hz be better than 50Hz from the point of view of improving bass response?
  13. Somebody has gone for it. The Overlord bridge (if it is one) can be improved somewhat with a bit of filing and some brass washers, or if it's really bad replaced by Guyker or better.
  14. Already flagged up, though.
  15. Just been listening to "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac for an open mic next week. "When the rain wash shares you'll clean your nose" is actually "When the rain washes you clean, you'll know".
  16. I have a Lekato padded strap: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334402284873 Adjustable at both ends so you can position the pad just where you want it, and it's easy adjustment too. There's enough room inside the stitching around the strap button to punch out a 10mm hole for Schaller straplocks. And you can probably afford to buy four for the price of most of the other suggestions.
  17. The headstock is even more horrible than headstocks normally are, and it would be dreadfully neck-divey and probably impossible to play seated. I do like the paint job though.
  18. Ebay - one on for £675 OBO.
  19. Sounds like you need to raise the bass output to line level. If you've got an effects loop on your amp, you could try using the Send output from that instead of going direct from the bass.
  20. Overpriced by at least £1000.
  21. I thought my logic for track naming was impeccable. There's the Monza (fastest F1 circuit), Monaco (slowest F1 circuit), and Silverstone (oldest F1 circuit), so logically it should be the newest F1 circuit. Although that's Las Vegas, it's a temporary circuit, as is Miami, so it's Losail or Jeddah, or if they're excluded for human rights reasons [1], Algarve. [1] Separate head is a good idea for an amp, a bad idea for a human.
  22. We all suggest songs, there's generally either a degree of enthusiasm or not. Songs that get a reception of lukewarm upwards will probably get a run through and if we think it'll work, it gets properly rehearsed. In a previous band, we had a spreadsheet of suggestions. Each of us had a vote - want to do it, don't like it, indifferent. There were enough suggestions that if anyone didn't like a song, we didn't try it. Mrs Zero was the vocalist and vetoed the most, but she vetoed seven out of almost 100 suggestions so it wasn't as if she was knocking down most suggestions.
  23. Definitely an improvement on the black finish with stars. That should look really good with some darker stain on it.
  24. Might this apply? https://forum.moogmusic.com/viewtopic.php?t=29170
  25. Gigbags for me, I just make sure that the basses go on top of everything else.
