Playing songs you heartily dislike.
Woodinblack replied to Jackroadkill's topic in General Discussion
I don't mind that song but we all have those songs.. there are a couple of blues songs that the guitarist keeps trying to bring in which are.. well, blues songs so very dull to play. The worst for me was chumbawumba, tubthumping. Its a tricky one as I don't even know if I am playing it right as I can't listen to the whole song so I am just guessing, but noone really cares. I hate the song, the guitarist hate the song, but the audience love it so it gets trotted out. Some other things though you can have fun with, i mean, mustang sally has so many trills, fills and walking sections in it now that the original didn't have I really enjoy it! -
isn't it just easier to listen to the songs tuned up by 1/2 step - quite a lot of apps will do that
-
Nope, treat everyone based on who they are. The singer is probably the least sensitive.

Yeh, that would be a no for me even on a £200 bass - if you can't take any more photos I am assuming you don't have the thing you are selling.

Rickenbacker/Chris Squire aficionados -have a look at this page
Woodinblack replied to NikNik's topic in General Discussion
Any indication of why a £4k 10 string mandolin being sold on gumtree would be of interest to rickenbacker or chris Squier fans? -
The bongo, spector, ibanez and shuker are all 2hh, as is my own build. They all work pretty well

Well, that is better than it being under someone elses control, at least it can't be used for scamming people you know.. -

No luck getting the account back? -
If you got a thin weedy sound then yes, it could be a coil. If it is working as a volume control (ie, full off is no sound at all), it is a shorted capacitor, a tone control with a shorted capacitor is a volume control.

You reckon? Maybe it was from the period where fender ran out of logos and required a member of staff to paint the fender logo by hand, but this was one of the first ones he did?

If you have two factor authentication with something, if you want to change your password or log into your account, you log in, and they send you a code to your phone or your email normally with a big disclaimer saying not to share it with someone. If they do get that number, they can log into your account and do whatever they want, the first thing is turning off 2 factor and changing the email / password - the account is now theres. -
I love army of me and her earlier stuff, I am guessing it is the acapella element, I couldn’t get through it, I was waiting for the tracks to start, it seemed very self indulgent even for bjork

Yes, that code thing is the two factor authentication, one of the big scams that they try at the moment. Its a real pain but at least it isn't your bank account. -
I never used that when I had mine although it sounds useful. I guess you could get round it with a patch switcher.

Bands….. when should they just call it a day?
Woodinblack replied to Rayman's topic in General Discussion
So did John Dillinger, although he didn't have much say in the matter -
When some BCers say they're not much cop at bass.....
Woodinblack replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
Clearly he wasn't. if you put a fill in and can't do it, you have messed the song up, ie, you couldn't do the fill. If you can't do something, dont do it. -
Impressive - how is it bolted on and could it take the weight of an ipad (or for that matter, a drunk pub goer falling over it!)
-
Its symptomatic of a shorted tone capacitor As the value of an older fender bass is more in its age and originality rather than it being an instrument, I would say that this would be the right thing to do.
-
Looks great - I guess it is down to what sort of price it lands at. Guessing from its feature set and other devices that they do that it will be quite a lot.

What are you listening to right now?
Woodinblack replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
I remember buying that when it first came out, it was very heavily played. -

Woodinblack replied to Rayman's topic in General Discussion
OK, so that is not like they used to be, faking it, doing 45 minutes badly and then storming off. I guess some people get better. Nope - There are some that you can laugh at like Motley crue, who I didn't care about in the first place, others like rush and genesis I really did, and Bon Jovi, they were good. -
ok, yes that looks like a broken pot, or a pot that has come away from the board. It should be easy to turn but should do a bit more than that

Well, she is someones mum, wonder how they feel! I have heard peter Gabriel recently and yes, he sounds good, but not as good as he used to. He still puts on a great show and is still writing, and I would still happily go and see him if the ticket price was in any way reasonable (which it never is), but it isn't quite the same.
