  2. I have one on my Stingray and have the same issue with moisture getting underneath it. [attachment=53192:P3210011.JPG]
  3. Two guys in our band have endorsements. Jeff the drummer is endorsed by DW Drums. Steve the guitarist is endorsed by Cornell Amps. I'm not sure what type of deals they are on, the only thing I see is on our band posters which feature DW and Cornell.

  6. How do you folks attach these you tube videos to your posts? I cannot seem to work it out.
  7. Stealer (Free Tribute) play Fire and Water. The guy behind the drum kit is Jeff Rich who played for Status Quo for 16 years. [url="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=LiveMusicUK#p/u/19/85eSmtrp3dA"]Stealer (Free Tribute) play Fire and Water[/url]
  8. No video, but had some photo's of our gig yesterday at March (Cambs) Picnic in the Park. [attachment=52241:P6130004.JPG]
  9. [url="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=LiveMusicUK#p/u/13/85eSmtrp3dA"]Stealer Live[/url] Bass mix is very low on the video - very strange, but if you plug headphones into the PC its really full.
  10. The two main criteria for the job are - 1 - Be able to play Bass. 2 - Be able to [size=7]SWIM!![/size]
  11. Hi, I play in a band called Stealer. STEALER are a Five piece band from East Anglia whose aim is to capture the sound and feel of the great Rock/Blues band FREE. Along with bands such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Cream, FREE were one of the most influential bands to come out of the 1960's, playing their mixture of rock and blues styles, they were at the forefront of the British Blues boom in the mid to late sixties. STEALER recreate the sound and vibe of that pioneering decade with visual effects and an authentic sound, as well as a look that harks back to the Woodstock era.

  12. Cracking band on Rockpalast last night on the German channel. I.M.F. and the bass player TM Stevens - awesome. Check out a clip of him. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe2-9QEJ90Y"]TM Stevens Bass[/url]
  13. [quote name='dos dedos' post='767289' date='Mar 7 2010, 08:47 PM']Hi folks! I wonder if you can help me with a little problem? As I understand it, my fretting hand shouldn't be supporting any of the weight of the neck. This is the playing position that feels comfortable to me: [attachment=44365:bass1.jpg] And here's what happens when I let go: [attachment=44366:bass2.jpg] It's not a [i]massive[/i] problem; I don't have to hold the neck up [i]much[/i], but supporting the weight still makes my left hand much less mobile and so affects my playing. Am I making a fuss about nothing? If I shorten or lengthen the strap as much as possible, it doesn't really help - the bass still wants to "settle" in that near-horizontal position, and in addition it makes the playing angle more awkward for both hands. The strap I'm using is a fairly slippery nylon job; I thought maybe if I picked up a leather one with a rougher back it might keep the neck up a bit better by stopping the strap sliding over my left shoulder. Does this sound like a good idea? And finally, is this generally what happens with a Precision shape, or is this one just poorly balanced because it's a cheapo Squier?[/quote] Top of the serious neck dive category must be the Gibson SG bass, I have to play one and it's terrible, let go and the headstock will hit the floor.
  14. Preferably looking to join an existing band but would consider a new project. Experienced player, Pro gear, own transport and will commit. Most styles but I definitely [u]cannot[/u] slap.
  15. Superb TV last night on the WDR German channel - Rockpalast featuring Tower of Power. Awesome soul/funk band that has been around for over forty years - seriously good bass player.
  16. Played a tribute to Free gig last night with Stealer at High Barn in Essex. What a fantastic venue - real pro set up - great front of house sound. The place was full with punters from far and wide and the response was terrific - standing ovation at the end. I was very pleased by a comment from the sound engineer stating that my bass sound - bottom end was one of the best he had ever heard at the venue - Mark Bass Rig and SG EB3.

  17. [quote name='Ray' post='725631' date='Jan 26 2010, 07:45 PM']So... I went to the Leicester Square premiere of A Bit Of Tom Jones last night. It was a great feeling being in a cinema watching a film and hearing yourself on the soundtrack. It was weird seeing my name in the end credits though!!! It's not a bad film at all. In fact it's very funny. I was laughing out loud in places. I'd definitely recommend it.

My wife came home from work telling me about this film about Tom Jones c*ck. Apparently the film is going to be massive. I don't know whether Tom's c*ck is though?
