Sorry dude

I reviewed one in the review section

This... [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1330607541' post='1560230'] I don't feel like I have to polish it and stare lovingly at it all the time, or talk about it all the time, or feel compelled to play it all the time. It just IS. Mine sometimes stays in its case for a week after a rehearsal, or sits in the corner of my studio unplayed (I rarely practice or work on my technique, I just play), I don't think about my amazing bass all the time or anything like that. HOWEVER, when I strap that bass on and play, or restring it, or clean and oil the fingerboard, do maintenance, whatever - there is a deep feeling of peace, familiarity, comfort, care, and one-ness. It is MY bass and everything about it fits my requirements, the looks, the weight, balance, the materials, the feel of the neck [/quote]

We rehearse in my cellar by using a jamhub. It's bloomin' brilliant!!! Check em out.

Let's not scare the fella off eh.

Some VERY cool basses on here. But Y'know.... [IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/b9821fa7.jpg[/IMG] Had to be done.

This is really interesting to me as im currently playing guitar for the first time, What about one guitar, one bass bands? Surely it's less of an issue there? Incidentally the reason I went back to markbass from my Genz Benz is because I prefer having control over hi and lo mids separately rather than having to choose al la the genz. Ironiclly I sold it to my bass player lol! On guitar I'm using a slight smiley face, bass about 2-3o clock, mid about 10-11 o clock and treble about 3-4 o clock and it seems to sound fine to me but as playing guitar is totally new to me (only picked up a guitar for the first time in August) I'm very open to advice re the whole malarkey! Here's us live for reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qnMl-iyUqM&sns=em

Mime at sound check for a bit let em make the comments and give the looks. Then point out you weren't actually playing As a teen I had to do this as a matter of course due to our singer having a weird problem with me. He'd stand out front next to me at sound check and proclaim the bass too loud everytime, Gig or studio, when I wasn't in the mix. I'd nod sagely and 'sort it' while miming away. All the local engineers knew. We'd just explain at the start of the night lol.

It's often the way.

No our own Old Git is still sadly and sorely missed.

Very good points all. It's immensely short sighted and frustrating. Which I find is the case of many things in 'business'.

Thanks dude. It's a legend in its own right.

Here you go. I found a roundabout way http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/my-1990-mij-sonic-blue-jazz-n-me-651831/#

Ok. That just looks like a black square my phone?!? what's up with that? Flickr link broked I fink.

Nice bass. Trust me, that's nothing lol. Check out my 1990 60's reissue http://www.flickr.com/photos/34605698@N04/sets/72157623937813540/detail/

Did one a while back with flu. Made a big joke out of it all night, playing the sympathy card etc. 'Did I mention I had flu yet?' Etc. Next day...hospital Arse!

Reminds me of mine [IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/29863824.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/060469d1.jpg[/IMG]

I must admit, it can be teeth grating. My band do something quite different (round here) which really goes down well. 'Rocked up' Bonnie Tyler, spice girls, Gina g, Whigfield, girls aloud, frankie goes to Hollywood, shampoo, Jessie J, Katy Perry etc etc. All a bit different and a lot of fun. But you still get the glassy eyed vanilla masses trooping up with a sour face demanding 'oasis' 'snow patrol' 'kings of Leon' and then tutting as I explain that if they want that then just about every other band in town is doing them!!! It's like they havnt noticed what we're actually doing!! ?? I mean, we even do Rebecca Black rocked up ffs!!

Just wanted to say welcome to the board mate. Hope you enjoy it I've only examined rather than played the overwaters but they impressed me and I was very sceptical at first tbh.

Cheers boss. Don't worry about it if they are all too far away. We don't stray too far from our neck of the woods.

There is literally 'always one'. What's up with that!?!

I'm interested! I'm really really struggling too! And have a pa and huge set list It's doing my head in trying to get bookings!

Two for one here! I'm on 'guitar' and 'vocals' ! And basschatter davemuadib is on bass, playing my old bass through my fx and my old head lol. ( his cabs tho;) Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qnMl-iyUqM&sns=em

For us it's the drummer disappearing down the back of his kit wiggling and tightening things every other song. Drum kits are a mystery to me.
