Fender US Deluxe P5 - opinions sought
Si600 replied to bassbloke's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
You could always ask @chrismuzz. -
The joke is on me then, I thought you were all on about the extreme selling hyperbole
-
Though has anyone else noted in the OP that the RRP of £149 has been crossed out, but the current buy it now price is £149.99?
-
With free shipping.

I've changed to Flikr. I can't say the user interface is particularly intuitive on the app, I had to look up how to upload things, but then, Imgur isn't good either.
-
See if this works....
-
Yeah, that's a problem I'm having. Imgur is only linking rather than embedding. Some folks see it, others just get a link which is 50/50 as to whether it functions. I should look at alternative hosting sites really, and maybe, shock horror, pay for a service. I've nicked @Dad3353's link for it from his BC upload allocation.

Imgur Pictures not displaying as embedded
Si600 replied to Si600's question in Site Issues and Questions
Thing is though, I'm not in the UK.... -
Is there a technical reason why https://imgur.com/a/gP9hj9R#Wy1GuHn isn't showing as a visible image? I've tried inserting from URL as well as directly copy n paste from Imgur, though insert from URL doesn't seem to work at all, does it neet to be encapsulated in " or something?

It wasn't last night, but Saturday and it was amazing once I got up on stage, but awful with the waiting around before hand, I was a right moody git. It was my first time on a proper stage with people there to actually see us rather then a couple of numbers at an open mic. We only have 11 songs so we were done in an hour I think, and the support band bigged us up something chronic. There is undoubtably tons of video out there from all the phones but I haven't seen any of it yet. Assuming Imgur isn't properly blocked or broken, here's the only picture I currently have. https://imgur.com/a/gP9hj9R#Wy1GuHn EDIT: Shoes were black Vans Bandana print

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...
Si600 replied to kwmlondon's topic in General Discussion
Don't care. It's irrational, remember? I still hate regardless of what the dictionary says 😘 -
There had better not be a volute involved as well Spondz.

Drink as a synonym for absorb. e.g. "I oiled the fretboard and it drank all the oil immediately." It's an inanimate object, it can't f'ing drink. Really gets on my wick for some reason. David Gemmell also had a phrase, which crops up in every book he ever wrote (cloned in some cases, but not as badly as David Eddings who wrote the Belgariad three times) where every time a character takes a break they have a "drink of the cool, clear, water" I hate it, and I can't tell you why. -
Oh bum! Hopefully it's not going to be an unpleasant trip with a sad outcome. All the best for your family and safe travels.

You won't be getting a bunch of 60's alarm clocks and scraping the glow in the dark stuff off then?

and snap the scratchplate... I was fuming!

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Si600 replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Both amazing and a disaster in equal measure. It was a dress rehearsal, on stage with lights and sound and a small audience from the music club/collective. The idea was to get us used to that environment and have our sound guy do all the tweaking before the big day in October. The first run through of the set was scruffy, some things were far too fast, though I was impressed that I could play them at that speed, if you'd suggested it yesterday lunchtime I'd have said no chance We had some weird effect with my mic, on its own it worked, as soon as we were all playing together something cancelled it out. We think it was the drummers radio mic as when that went wrong later I seemed to be back in the mix. The second run through was a total car crash. We fluffed outros, intros, the keys player forgot one of her solos and I completely blanked the third verse of Peaches We were all standing there playing bum de bum, bum do doo da over and over again whilst my brain went on holiday to the Seychelles or something! It was though, I have to say an absolute blast doing it, bouncing about, foot on the monitor, everything. When it all came together it was great, we've got time to iron out the wrinkles and we found out the set list doesn't quite work dynamically so that's getting a tweak. Plus, in a rush of confidence we want to add Grip as well, so that's my homework The sound guy was a bit odd. The vocals were getting lost in the mix and he was saying that he couldn't turn the vocals up any further. Surely then the answer to that is bring everything else down a bit and drive the FOH volume using the master fader? Apparently he knows what he's doing.... -
Presumably he's not been inside to look when it's been switched on, or is he now glow-in-the-dark blue as well?

Beginner Bass Practice – Building Finger Strength and Timing
Si600 replied to laurawoods's topic in Introductions
Hi, welcome to the madhouse. We're 99% polite over here, so stick with us over TalkBass Playing will build finger strength over time, I've never done any finger excersises beyond a few scale repetitions to warm up a bit. Timing: Keep it simple and slow down. Get a simple 12 bar repeating pattern and concentrate on hitting the start of the bar, but there's no point starting at full speed, you'll only get frustrated. Tips wise, play what you like. If you like Taylor Swift, learn Taylor Swift songs. If you don't enjoy the music you're trying to play you'll get bored and stop playing it. -
Any update @Hobbayne? Did you go quietly, passive aggressive quietly or are you in hiding after going postal?
-
I want someone to buy one of these for me!

Turn up late to rehearsal, lock the door and burn the place down? Well, it worked for the Saxons anyway.
