[quote name='7tenths' timestamp='1426661089' post='2720340'] Another sad loss....what a week so far [/quote] It's been a crap 6 months for the bass world....Bruce/Porcaro and now Andy Fraser. My band will be doing a tribute to Andy at our next gig. I can never expect to emulate the great man but just giving it a go is the best tribute I can make. Sad times 😢

Another great gone :-(

Led Zeppelin are said to have been named after Keith Moon said they would go down like a lead balloon, actually they are named after the man who put the zeppelin in the shed after use. He simply tied a rope to the front and walked it in!!!

[quote name='squire5' timestamp='1417092899' post='2617009'] Not musically related,but Luke Skywalker of 'Star Wars' fame was known as Luke Skytoddler when he was much younger. [/quote] And Luke Skycrawler when he was even younger!!

I sort of wonder if Bruno Mars had done it that everyone would be all over it saying how wonderful it is??

Hmm, strangely grooving my ass off to that! Could have have done with a screaming lead solo a la Play That Funky Music but quite liked it nevertheless!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1425646708' post='2709347'] All of my obbm cables are still operational. [/quote] 😀😀

Also look at what they are playing, do they just mimic each other or do they play separate lines or chords? If they play the same chord inversions you might as well have only one guitard 😉

Aarrrrgghhhh!

[quote name='Mr H' timestamp='1425075032' post='2703802'] . . . about equivalent to the council tax that doesn't come out of this payday . . . I don't need one, not at all. Are they any good? [/quote] I don't know tbh, I just get a mail shot every now and then and thought I'd share. £179 for a 180 watt combo seems pretty reasonable and I know Eden of old was very good kit, could be a good start for a newbie or someone who wants a small venue rig!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1424284180' post='2694761'] Wasn't that Ian Paice of Deep Purple, 'Made in Japan'..? [/quote] "Everything Louder than Everything Else" Said by Ian Gillan before The Mule on Made in Japan and then a live album by Motörhead, Everything Louder than EVERYONE Else,title said to be inspired by this comment.

I was learning piano and guitar at school and as my parents couldn't afford a clarinet I ended up with a cheap trombone. So I learnt my bass clef as well and when my bass playing mate decided to leave the school band he put me forward as I knew all the notes, a bit of practice and that was it!!! Left school whilst dabbling a bit and at about 19 got a Peavey TNT 130 and pre Ernie Musicman on the never never!!!

So our first song in the set is Unchain My Heart by Joe Cocker, features a keyboard and vocal intro followed by a nice little slap bass section leading into the main song. Having had a little play with my effects pedal in the afternoon I realised when I'd set up there was a bit of difference in volume on various effect I'd set up when plugged into the amp as opposed to listening with the headphones. So I do a little fiddling and leave it on the lovely slightly chorused slap setting ready for the first number. So our girlie singer is sitting on my stool by my rig sorting out the setlist whilst I'm relaxing in the knowledge that all is well with the world. Cue start of the gig and the keys player makes a bit of a hash of the intro, we laugh it off as the new jazz offering, get to the end of it and I flick my LEDs on and strike the slap pose ready to assault the gathered masses with my superior slappery!!! What actually comes out is a very weak feeble meeee meeee meeee sound akin to the crazy frog!!!!! Looks at my pedal and its on J something as opposed to A2 which is the super slippy slappy sound I'd set up!!! I realise that when above mentioned singist was sitting on my stool her enormous size 5s had stomped through my pedal presets!!! Last week it was me, same scenario, lights on, no bloody sound! Forgot to turn my radio link on!!! We all had a good laugh about it but when it's that first song and you're trying to make an impact it can fall a bit flat!!! Think I'll take a music stand next week with instructions on how to play a gig!!!

Aaaaarrrggghhhgg..............sorry but there's got to be two for me!! Crime of the Century-Supertramp Live and Dangerous-Thin Lizzy

Quick visit to Neil to pick up a stool and stand, all as described, top man! Has a lovely looking Jazz for sale.......soooo tempting! Cheers!

Frank bought an MXR m80 off me, payment as fast as a fast thing!!! Good comms!! A truly wonderful experience!

It's also possible that his account is not in a position to receive the money, ie he may be overdrawn and the transfer might get swallowed up!!
