I'm in one because they were the only band that needed a bass player at the time. The fact that they meet what I've wanted in a band (horns and a dancing crowd) are a fantastic bonus. Getting paid's delightful and the crowds are much better in my opinion. I still want an originals project, but I've had difficulties setting one up as people down my way aren't after the same kind of project that I am. My only options down here are either southern rock, metal or folk. Neither of which I'd like to do. Should that change though and I get the right guys involved, then I'd be made up :-)

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1363537541' post='2013762'] i gig for the pure love of playing music regardless of if i get paid or not, its ok playing at home, but for me the buzz is being on stage. yes it costs money, but the way i look at it, is if i wanted to watch a film i like at the cinema, id have to pay for it, if i wanted to race a car round a track for a day, id have to pay for it. its nice being paid, but thats what my day job is for [/quote] +1

Not sure if this helps, but (these guys) http://www.cliffuk.co.uk/products/knobs/rotary.htm have something that looks pretty close. Their part K7C. Worth a go possibly? James

Cheers for the well wishes guys. I know they're meant well, but I only listed my circumstance/trigger to help put my point into perspective. Still, cheers. It's things like this that make BC what it is.

Evening all, After starting what seemed a relatively pleasant (albeit cold) day, things took a turn. I ended my day receiving some very upsetting news (on a grand scale it is pathetic as it was relationship related...damn you females and your treacherous ways). Either way, the point of the thread remains the same regardless of circumstance. When ever, I have any bad news, or a bad day, or a you get the picture. My primary thought is the same...at least I have my bass. To me, this simple (leave it at that please), in-animate object. Acts as much more than that. Through it, we can truly portray our emotions, a vent when no one is around. It can raise spirits and confidence through playing, and the reactions of anyone that views us. Reading it back, it sounds peculiar, but I know what I mean, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here, that's had "one of those days" and thought, I just want my bass. Cheers, James

Playing "The Old House At Home"? I know the milton one but not the havant one. Should be a good night though, funk/sould/disco/motown covers act

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1363130988' post='2009142'] I'm no Scummer I live on the right side of 'Ampshire [/quote] good point, me too. Also yepmop, if you're free saturday night, I'm gigging in havant.

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1363130727' post='2009139'] I'm duly reporting all you scummers to the DWP. [/quote] We've been rumbled!?!

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1362953073' post='2006778'] That is odd,and unusual.Possibly an allergy? [/quote] No idea, only happens with DR coated strings.

innit

...and in a covers band

Am I in for buying a Cheap Squier Precision and modding it to pieces? and running it through a car sub?

I think the only thing I can say in regards to this gig Ian...is good luck, whether it be the natives, the pub or a toilet related incident...good luck :-p

[quote name='leadubblebass' timestamp='1363026551' post='2007221'] I always regret selling basses ( I sold my last bass in "95) [/quote] I only regret selling a few of those, the Hohner B Bass 6, the bongo and the clear AXL Player Deluxe P

As most of you lot know, these days I'm down to just my modded P, BH250 and homebuilt cab. I was having a hunt around on the HDD earlier and found a few pics of all my old gear and thought I'd share it.
