  1. Pay for it and hang it on your wall as a reminder
  2. Couldn't watch Ezra no matter how nice a band .Housewives singalongs
  3. Bassman and guitar are tour stand ins ,original bass guy played GL jazz's too .Great sound at glasto,weird style but effective
  4. The Kexp stuff on youtube is great as well ,really good different bands doing live sessions
  5. The Cure have been through a few line ups mind you .A good majority of punters are there for Flowers and the songs ,simple as.Same reason Smith hires and fires
  6. Haven't read list but its fair to say the bands who do these places justice are diminishing ,just how it is
  7. New Noel Gallagher tune
  8. Took my acoustic at easter as I had gigs the night I got back .Plenty down time on hols where u can grab 10 minutes . People taking showers ,asleep,on phones !
  9. Ref tonights guy ,we did a start up band ,all good guys ,good players ,experience etc ,got on well immediately ,still mates but despite people saying they're happy doing this and that I find people struggle to change and it builds frustration .The moving away from the initial vision we all agreed to is what split us up .Not saying it cant work but worth a thought.Likewise I know plenty "singers" with no gear who talk a good game
  10. I know I aint doing much doing nothing means a lot to me Down payment blues ac/dc I get a shaky start to Tuesday Sweat stains on bus windows I don't want ruin my coat but That’s just the way it goes “Cheer up you f £$%^g ’ b%^$&d!” That’s all I heard him say St George’s flag on white van This is the human race tweet tweet tweet sleaford mods
  11. Even at the top level of touring musicians there's plenty to pick from ,she's had a couple of good breaks .I like her what I've seen with JB Her own stuff seems dull,like when most of these people knock albums out ,that's why their main job is playing good tunes from top song writers Been watching a lot of Julie slick with Belews power trio ,she's more interesting to me ,knarly and complex
  12. Apart from the obvious musical things its worth having a chat about the band away from playing songs .Stuff what maybe became and issue with the old singer .Gig amount,song input,whats expected of them work wise .etc Ive done bass auditions where they liked me but had no real plan going forward,then other very formal ones with stage presence,backing vocals,type of gear etc discussed
  13. Borrowed a darkglass,not sure which and it was canny but only canny.Probably haven't got the patience or enough interest to pursue it .Resigned to a bit of bite from the Amp
  14. I'd love that driven crunchy sound you hear on records without losing the lovely bottom end noise I make .Sadly I think unless you're Geddy or Justin Chancellor with lots of resource(££) its a tough one
  15. Not many nice ones about ! jobs that is 😀
  16. You need a job
  17. Because I don't want in ears and if I use a monitor I may as well have a rig .On top of this 80% of time i'm within two feet of a naturally loud drummer
  18. I like my Radial tonebone which gives the desk my sound ,2 channel,boost,tuner ,loop out etc .It could be used alone but I also have a rig I can play with on stage to suit me without affecting the front of house sound we're too loud a band to ditch the rig but other music the Radial would do fine
  19. I find if you get your head round the song as a listener you're in a good place to then learn it ,I don't read so I have a few idiot notes at key moments to help .My method is bass on ,put song on ,try to follow it .Go away and get to know the song and revisit on bass again .If one song is taking too much time consider dropping it .Easy songs lengthen
  20. Primal scream singer who were no more than a 3rd rate Rolling stones
  21. dNot big on lyrics so having something to say is neither here nor there ,Rock works and survives because you get a beat hit a chord and people start tapping their feet and reacting .Royal blood and Shame are doing what others did before to a new crowd
  22. I'm a great buyer and a poor seller if I see one ,one or two messages securing price and getting it and its a done deal selling,as I am ,I've had lot of message tennis asking this that and the other ,non of which I would so I get a bit bored to the point i'll probably withdraw the ads . I tend to like basses aesthetically ,someone said on here its crazy not to know what pick ups etc ,why ? If I did It wouldn't be a deal breaker .Buy wisely and if it isn't to your taste sell it is my experience
  23. Haven't forgotten as such but loved all the punk stuff when I was starting out Nearly always prominent and busy Damned ,SLF,Stranglers,buzzcocks
  24. Aye ,its big,i play it straight but those slides are so dirty
  25. Had a 111A fretless new in early 80s Too many knobs and too short a top horn for me,end of neck miles away
