[quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1420630478' post='2651439'] Welcome! I think anyone who frowns upon someone else's gear is probably a bit immature and probably buys instruments to impress others, so if anyone gives you any sort of gear snobbery ignore them. Instruments are a very personal thing so whether it costs £30 or £3,000 as long as it works for you and what you're doing then thats all that bloody matters! Enjoy the challenge and remember you wont wake up one day and be amazing at it - keep practicing! Basschat is a great forum with lots and lots of friendly users, you can get help with anything to with Bass all the way to how to deal with annoying neighbours. [/quote]This! :-)

Pretty much what others have said. My tone when heard alone is not really what I would think of as a 'solo' tone I would choose ... but, once in the mix (live) I think it sounds just right. Standing in front of my rig I can hear all the little bits of finger noise etc I wouldn't want heard, but once out in front of the PA and heard as part of the whole band it sounds totally different and just as I would hope it would. As long as your technique and feel is sound you should be ok in the mix. Playing with effects is a different story. Are you playing with effects for the good of the song and overall sound of the band or to mask your perceived(?) unsatisfactory sound? It took me a very long time to realise that what sounds good to my ears solo doesn't necessarily sound right in the mix. Good luck :-)

Beat whoever did it over the head with it :-)

Sitting on top of that engine might be a 'toaster' though :-)

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1420978410' post='2655669'] Why close the thread? It will manage itself if any new bands update the list as they post. The initial interest will tail off but it would always be there for future 'likers' and it's an archive of the many and varied bands that we share on facebook. [/quote] That's a very kind offer of you

Yep, great thread! I'm totally up to date with the likes too :-)

If it's a new song to me, original or cover, it's just simple repetition repetition and more repetition until it's ingrained. Boring and tedious, yes, but it works for me. Often when I'm doing something else I'll find myself picturing myself playing the song, 'seeing' and 'feeling' my fingers playing and 'feeling' the song - visualisation, I guess. Good luck! :-)

[quote name='Chris Sharman' timestamp='1420833213' post='2654106'] Right then chaps, I have liked every single band I could find on here so if you would be so kind as to reciprocate my bands are here: Water For Dogs [url="https://www.facebook.com/waterfordogs?ref=hl"]https://www.facebook...rfordogs?ref=hl[/url] and The Badly Stuffed Bears [url="https://www.facebook.com/BadlyStuffedBears?ref=hl"]https://www.facebook...fedBears?ref=hl[/url] Thanks all in advance, C.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1420728183' post='2652673'] Are you talking about the link in your sig? If so it's not in the list so I hadn't liked it, but have just done so [/quote]It's sixth from the bottom on the last list :-)

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1420727246' post='2652651'] 56 likes given and 8 received - not a great ratio so far [/quote]I've liked all the links as they've come along too but I don't think it's been reciprocated by all either. I'm very grateful to those who have though :-)
