  1. I'm fine with Billie Jean (will probably mess it up at the next gig now ) I find some disco lines a challenge, not so much because of any complexity but more the tempo and the octavingness Hot Stuff/Donna Summer springs to mind.
  2. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1433716106' post='2793404'] Oof! Well... this was a very dangerous thread to look at... [/quote] Yes back away now, you know it makes sense. You really don't need to throw in Wal GAS on top of all your other ones
  3. [quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1433671664' post='2792897'] I have aan original model G&L ASAT guitar with microtilt and it works like a dream. Leo got it right the second time it would seem. [/quote] I think Leo probably got it right the first time, the workforce managed to get it wrong.
  4. A good one for DefunkT last night, not a huge crowd but much enthusiastic dancing for most of the evening. Plenty of compliments from other musicians and they weren't even very drunk Got invited back for four more dates next year.
  5. No worries, I really enjoyed it. Bumping this back to the top.
  6. When selling, I tend not to base the price on what I paid for it but for what I think it is worth at the time. I see little point in doing it any other way. If I get it right, happy days. If I have got it wrong, it doesn't sell and then I drop the price hopefully to a level that is right.
  7. Well I fit the bill, in that I'm sick but unfortunately too old. Good luck, hope you find the right player.
  8. As Grangur said, I play there. It''s one of our regular gigs. On the plus side: the crowd enjoy their music and are always up for a dance. The owners and staff are great. The load in isn't too bad, pull up outside. Plenty of parking in the surrounding back streets. Downside: Is the bloody limiter It is a distraction and it's all to easy to spend the night watching it. we have found that it is particularly sensitive to the G spot . Something I have found that seems to help, is when playing on the G, not letting the note swell works well. I tend to play in a much more syncopated fashion in the Haig. Last time we were there, the limiter did its thing just as we hit the chorus on Plug in Baby. I tend to roll the bass and mids off and keep the volume down. Another thing to be aware of is, that the ladies have to walk through the band playing area to get to the loos. You need to stay aware of your surroundings, otherwise there is the real risk of headstock/ladies face encounters. [quote name='NoRhino' timestamp='1433457676' post='2791335'] Take an extension reel, find another socket and override the damn thing. I've seen the chatter of an audience and clinking glasses set linters off. Edinburgh PO Club and Cumbernauld Town Hall are two of the worst. [/quote] You will not be able to do that at this venue. The limiter is there because of noise complaints and they are monitored by the council, or whoever. The limiters are a pain but it's just another one of the challenges of the pub/club scene. Hope it goes well.
  9. I'm happy to be starting a Feedback thread for Andy. Had the pleasure of meeting him at the weekend, when he came over to take a look at my 73 Jazz. Deal in confidence ladies and gents, he is a fine chap, good communication, turned up on time and no messing when it came to paying.
  10. I love the feel of flats. I love the sound of flats at home, playing along to Northern Soul and Motown. But for gigging, certainly with the current band, it has to be rounds.
  11. [quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1432999794' post='2786941'] Is this anywhere near Oxfordshire? [/quote] Nearish, I'm in Hertfordshire.
  12. [quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1433139730' post='2788094'] This sounds about an email away from asking for your passport number and bank details. [/quote] Beat me to it. I wouldn't be travelling to the next town to audition for this one.
  13. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1432906168' post='2786105'] I'd like it, I just need one that's so big [/quote] It is a bargain price Geek, so go on and treat yourself
  14. [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1432899345' post='2786013'] This really is a lovely bass. Gary let me have a play of it last night. Really smooth and easy to play. [/quote] It was good to see you again Tim.
  15. Sorry Jim I'm not sure, I never actually drove the desk, so not sure. We had all sorts of midi kit playing through it, keyboards, samplers etc.
  16. Yes that will go all the way, Wals always do Lovely bass that, sure I've seen it before.
  17. If I haven't sold my one by then, would be happy to bring it along. Obviously I can't confirm at the moment though
  18. For me that's one of the most pleasing Overwaters that I've seen
