[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1373892543' post='2142698'] With a bag full of ketamine! [/quote] Are you implying I'm a drug dealer. I mean who else drives home from "work" with a bag of ketamine? Edit for smiley face.

That is Ace. Sounds totally pro. I listened to it in my car last night driving home from work and my head was really rockin it.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1373818223' post='2141908'] I don't mean playing the song a whole tone higher type key change, I mean non-diatonic key movement. [/quote] Aaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhhh..........

Changing keys is a bit X factor for me. Why do they always notch it up at the end. It does my head in.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1373808604' post='2141802'] Do you earn your living as a musician? You say you have a full time job so I assume you're not a pro player. Regardless of how much time & effort you put into your playing or what you expect to achieve from all this practice, if it's not your main or only source of income then like it or not it's just a hobby.

[quote name='AndrewRichards' timestamp='1373657027' post='2140353'] Hello bass chat! Just a little thread about volume and how 'you deal with it'? Let me put this into perspective. I practice quite a lot however my family really don't agree with it, they say it's too loud and I get nagged constantly all day and night. (well up to 9pm... then I stop) Then they go on about how If I lived next to a neighbour who wouldn't let you do it (or he'll.... smash you up or your bass or put sh*t through your letter box) what would I do? They mainly complain about double bass as it's acoustic and obviously theres no volume knob on it... like electric bass. So is there anyway to keep the noise down or? hmmm more importantly what do you do? And do you get lots of complaints... because it drives me mental... when everyone goes on about how I need to stop practicing etc.. Cheers, Andy. [/quote] Move out.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1373801574' post='2141697'] Im thinking of doing something a bit different for next months competition as it marks our last one in the first years worth so this months winner will actually be picking the picture for September Hold onto your hats folks [/quote] Sounds interesting. Roll on August. Are you going give a clue?

[quote name='Stephen Houghton' timestamp='1373742755' post='2141211'] Sounds great on my system 'The Boy' [/quote] Glad to hear it..... I'm happy with how it turned out. Thanks mate.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1373746594' post='2141262'] I am getting increasingly frustrated at the gap between the ideas in my head, the technology available (to me) and the time it takes to make it all happen. I came up with this tonight after sitting in front of the computer for ages but, to my ears, although it started from there, the final piece has nothing whatsoever to do with the image. Can't even justify it with b******t double talk! [url="https://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/waking"]https://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/waking[/url] [/quote] Wow..... Wish I could write stuff like that. That's music for clever people. I like it sooooo......maybe I'm not as dumb as everyone says.

[quote name='Stephen Houghton' timestamp='1373743898' post='2141233'] Here is my effort, thought I would go all fuzzy guitars and punky/rocky feel. Borrowed my mates Fender Strat which is great to play especially when you are a three chord wonder, its a lot easier to fret than a cheap guitar. Recorded Sonar drums and then , played guitars, bass and vocal live. May change bass level depending on feedback, so please let me know if its right or wrong in the mix. Its kind of Greenday crossed with J.C.C. Thought I would link it to the picture of NY city with the lyrics about street people.

[quote name='woodster' timestamp='1373709974' post='2140778'] Search on eBay for 'fingerboard guard'. They make a metal plate with a slot that sits over your fret and protects the board whilst you clean in. Really useful. [/quote] +1 these are great. A bit of scotchbrite and a plastic scraper. The scotchbrite will make the frets a little abrasive so don't forget to buff them once you've finished. You'll be amazed at how it sharpens up the tone. Add some new strings and a tweak of the truss rod and bridge, it will sound like a new guitar.

Done.

[quote name='Salt on your Bass?' timestamp='1373583059' post='2139454'] Worried about not having any downtime so said he'd have a think- essentially it sounds like a commitment thing which I'm not sure will pan out. Unfortunately he sounded good and was a good guy. [/quote] Forget this is a band and imagine it was a job interview. Would this guy cut the mustard? He's bringing a new dynamic that probably won't work. Is he worth it? I'm not cool with this.

[quote name='stoker' timestamp='1373574127' post='2139278'] Deal! [/quote] In the morning. I'm a bit incapacitated currently.

[quote name='marcus bell' timestamp='1373543702' post='2138827'] The bass is costing 140 quid... So I want to upgrade the tuners and the scratchplate [/quote] Bargain......
