His Billie Jean and Come Together covers are brilliant too.

[quote name='sifi2112' timestamp='1346917743' post='1794718'] I can certainly empathise ... How about this then .... earlier this year I got 'outsted' out of my band that I'd been in for 10 years. Me & guitar player did band's 1st ever gig together but different singers / drummers have come & gone. All the music was basically co-written between the two of us though some tracks were more his & others more mine (maybe even 90% my idea / arrangement). Some tracks even have 3 different lyrics for 3 different singers but music didn't changed much ,,, the band (not signed) is still going & selling cds but I don't get anything .... not even a mention on FB / twitter that 'I quit due to personal reasons' or some crap .. almost like in Back to the Future .. 'I've been erased from existence' lol ..... Haven't heard from them since march this year .. new bass player was there 4 days after my last rehearsal .. I wont bore you with all the details of perhaps why all this happened but you would be a bit shocked ..... but here's the punch line ... this guitar player I starting gigging / writing with 10 years ago .. well guess what ...here's my brother ! [/quote] After getting my brothers' band five gigs, learning their songs in two days and being a glorified roadie for them, I found an advert on Join My Band placed by them asking for a new singer and bass player while I was looking for a drummer for my own band. They didn't even have the decency to tell me in person, they were just going to play whatever gigs they have coming up with my replacement without saying a word to me. Looks like not even being family matters when it all gets a bit Spinal Tap.

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1346767870' post='1792910'] I'm sure it does but I can't think why I'd want to bother trying. [/quote] For funsies.

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1346765376' post='1792843'] I can't answer this - I've honestly forgotten how it feels to not be able to play with a reasonable degree of competence. [/quote] Try playing it left/right handed, whichever isn't your dominant hand. It's like your first day all over again, pretty strange feeling.

Time to clear my history I think...

That's f***ing disgusting, playing music and being in a band is supposed to be enjoyable. Where's the fun in kicking your mate out for such a petty, shallow reason just because some slimy record label creep says to? They'll all regret it one day, and I hope the bastards fall flat on their faces for selling you out like that.

I was a bit embarrassed for him by the third swing

I bought mine new last March and I can't think of a single problem I've had with it. The pickups sound great, there's no sharp fret edges, it's solidly built and cost me half the price of a MIM Fender. Great bass.

The little solo at the end is definitely played with a plectrum, and the resr of the song is too I reckon. The video confused me too because he swaps between fingers and plec constantly.

[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1345426392' post='1777432'] I've found one good singer in 8 years of looking, and she was completely insane, we had to kick her out after she brought a dead sq [/quote] Looks like she came back to bump you off

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1345203056' post='1774896'] Where's that function on my iPod? Can't find it anywhere... [/quote] Settings, General, Accessibility, scroll down to the left-right slider

I'm the opposite, once the recording starts I find it hard not to overplay.

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1344087966' post='1759611'] Check it out there's some great stuff on there (mine excepted ) [/quote] I will do

http://soundcloud.com/tsunami42 Already wrongly posted this in general discussion, here's four tracks I recorded last month with one of my bands. Badly mixed with quiet bass but still, I'm curious to find out what people think

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1344037519' post='1759159'] Hi Jack. There's a thread for SoundCloud posts in the Recording forum here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/156658-basschatters-soundcloud-accounts/ There's also a SoundCloud group on Basschat where you can share your music: http://soundcloud.com/groups/basschat Get stuck in! [/quote] Cheers mate, didn't know about this

The link works now if anyone's still interested. Looking back I can hear how badly mixed these are, singing's too loud and too similar to Morrissey and I'm barely audible on some tracks. Bit disappointed!

My Squier and Marshall stack will probably do it for me for a good few years yet, I sound the same on anything else after I've fiddled with the EQ anyway so I don't see the point in changing yet Slightly off topic I know.

We had one drunk lady say to us: "Do you know any Nicki Minaj?" Singer: "No sorry we don't do requests." "Oh, well do you know any Maroon 5?" Christ knows what she thought he meant.

No, maybe they just enjoy playing and don't care about the money.

I just had a go at it, I feel very humble...

Which bass is best for metal?

I used to watch Paul Wolfe's lessons, they were a massive help in my first year of playing.

I use the mobile site from my iPhone, is there any way of uploading pictures? Switching to the full site doesn't work
