No gig for me tonight, quite glad really as I'm knackered. Looking forward to Thai tapas and seeing in the new year with family. Good luck and a Happy New Year to all my Bass Chat friends

That must have been worth the wait.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1356684104' post='1912303'] The reason most AC/DC covers bands are sh*te is because they dont have a Cliff Williams! People think because they can slap and pop they are better (even people on here who have never left the shed) so many of those players cant play a 4 minute pop song and keep time, Its like the story of the drum clinic where the guy just played a straight solid beat for 15 minutes or something and told everyone to learn how to do that and they will be able to have a career in the business [/quote] Exactly! Nicely put Pete.

So dont go in there They don't deserve your business.

That is a looker, really really nice . Agree with Lozz about chromes. I have on one of my P's, love them. the P bass I gigged with at the weekend has DR Highbeams (rounds) on and I love them too.

A new venue for us in Harlow, Essex on saturday night. Our first gig with new singer and new guitarist. Couple of slightly ropey moments but on the whole it was a fine gig. Plenty of punters up and dancing. More bookings out of it and asked if we would consider doing New Years Eve [u]2013[/u]

Yes I've used them a few times and always received excellent service. Complained last time that the item was scratched, they were very apologetic and true to their word immediately sent a replacement.

good man

I used an affinity p bass a while back for a modding project and it turned out really well. If you can get it somewhere around £50 it would be a good deal. The pups and electrics aren't brilliant but you could get a few bob for them on Ebay. Then upgrade and you will have a decentish instrument, so long as the truss rod and neck are ok.

Wishing him a good recovery. I was with someone last weekend who is recovering after treatment for the same cancer. He is doing well but has had a very tough time. Bastid cancer

I'd be using wood adhesive for that type of repair.

Welcome aboard, glad you've seen the light

[list] [*]I'm so grateful that Mark has visited our site and furnished us with all this vital info. I now know what sort of kit I need and why I've not been able to thus far get in to a decent band. What a fine chap [/list]

Another pain free transaction with Paddy. Good price, excellent comms throughout and my purchase was extremely well packed. He's a good 'un

Nice job, looking good

As above, just fitted a set of quarter pounders in my latest project p bass. Haven't actually gigged it yet but sounded good in rehearsal. Will gig it this coming saturday.

Have a splendid Birthday. Hope the new purchase proves to be the cure

Some people can be a right royal pain, particularly if you find it difficult to be rude, which it was what tends to be needed we these thick skinned types. I so prefer being in the company of guitarists who don't think that every song needs a full on solo.

He was discussing this in a recent BGM article

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1355693922' post='1901523'] Yay! But for an apparently simple song, the bass line is surprisingly challenging - if you play Jim Lea's version. [/quote] Not sure I've nailed it note for note Mark but it's certainly quite busy

At next weeks gig we will be finishing the night with the Slade one, went down a storm last year.
