Mr Fretbuzz

I'm coming and planning on offloading my 11 year old first :-) I haven't got a clue what goes on so I'm coming along to say hello really. I'll bring my 2012 P so people can try it. Can't fit my amp in the boot :-(. Might bring my LoMenzo pedal which is great fun :-) I'm interested in hearing what a Rick sounds like :-)

I think it was just underpowered and a guitar amp as well ... I've heard some of the more powerful bass amps and they seem ok

I love my Evo iii and noticed the difference plugging in my P to a Roland Cube 10w or something at my Grade 3 exam today...it sounded completely sh*te and it put me off completely :-(. Mucked up my pieces.... I must have been in shock or something :-(

Damn... Could do with you in south wales :-(. I took up bass as perhaps a route to rockabilly double bass

Welcome ... And you sound like a Harley owner :-D

It seems to be word of mouth..I got recommended by my son's drum teacher to his mate who is looking for a bassist to join a three piece Mod Band. Very optimistic of him as I only played a grade piece in time with the teacher as part of my sons lesson. Thought it sounded cool and a bit different, thought I'd give it a go, chuck my grades, and get out of the bedroom, burn and die :-D

Sounds very reasonable to me truckstop :-)

Ever seen what a biker looks like playing in a Mod Band..watch this space :-D

Anybody else doing an exam tomorrow? The last 6 weeks have gone by really fast :-0

Gee that's a lot of songs. I hope I don't get asked to learn so many when I join my first band this week. I'm really panicking now..lol All the best though :-)

I got no chance..I looked at some who tab yesterday....sixteenth note triplets and sorts of jiggery pokery.... Think I'll need a lifetime before I'll be able to pay entwhistle stuff :-(

I guess.. I've found a few websites. Cheap image... A Fred perry and a pair of 501s :-). If it works out and I don't get binned, I might get a tonic suit. My biker mates think its hilarious :-D. ....

I wish.. if they mix it up and depending on their song choice I might spat on if I'm unlucky

Or may be : KEEP CALM AND PLAY ON

Oh crap. I might be in a MOD band . What now? :-D

Holy crap. I might be the bass player in a MOD Band. Now what? I guess that's the end of Rockschool Grades :-D

Well I've had an invite I'm thinking about seashell..... Depends what's involved, Mr Ace says if it's proper giggin having to learn 20 songs etc, that's too much for me at the mo, but if it's just for fun, to give it a go.... :-0

Dunno... I guess when I get out of the bedroom and play ok in a Band

Cool show us some rockabilly DB... :-) I'd like to do that sometime. I thought that playing bass guitar would get me there in the future :-)

Anyone bringing along a Rickie and a Ray? Not heard what they're like

Cool..... The number of riffs on songster we're wrong, but the tab on the link above was spot on ... Just couldn't count it .... I haven't got to the 15 rep at the end yet :-D

Shoved my grade 3 aside , got the TAB for Peaches and mucked about for an hour..it sounded ok with the trebble rolled off, bass boost, full compression and full overdrive.... Problem was I couldn't count the riff repetitions.... How do you manage that, my mind wondered every now and again, forgot which rep I was in , and then missed the next type of riff :-(. Didn't get it right to the end once but it was about 5 minutes of riff reps :-0

I had an email today from my son's drum teacher saying his mate is looking for a bassist and thinks I'd be a good fit. He must be desperate. I took my bass along to a drum lesson and played a grade 3 piece with him. Not sure if I've got the necessary experience and bottle but I've got the gear so I might have a go even if I start off playing root notes or something. Dunno. I want to get into a band at some stage but maybe after just 9 months playing its a tad optimistic?

2 professional bass guys who have picked up my 2012 P say it's good :-)
