Naw, you have to keep going and try and get it back together. And once the song if finished, have a laugh about it

I find the other bodies for the band apart from the drummer who I started the band with. And finding band mates via Gumtree and all the rest is bloomin stressful. Luckily the singer and drummer have lots of contacts and are facebook savy so I can leave it up to them now and kick back.

Talanted man or not he is one of the grumpiest gits I have ever come across. If you watch the story of Cream, he has the right hump with Jack Bruce and Pete Brown as they have made more money out of Cream than him. [i]They wrote the songs Ging!!![/i]

If the rumours above are correct, or sometimes even wrong, what tends to happen is suppliers start to get jittery and it becomes unstoppable. I imagine if people on here are aware of something going on, then the rest of the biz will be aware of it also.

Here is a pic of my Mustang bass bridge. I have returned it to the shop due to it being out of line. What do you Mustang owners think? [attachment=132765:SAM_0651.JPG] [attachment=132766:SAM_0647.JPG] [attachment=132767:SAM_0652.JPG]

[quote name='ingmar808' timestamp='1366071249' post='2048123'] According to Google translate, 'cabron' is Spanish for 'asshole.' So presumably 'cabronita' means 'asshole-eater.' [/quote] Where is McNach when you need him He is the man for this Spanish translation lark.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1366192326' post='2049347'] There was a thread on here recently on the subject of isolated bass tracks. Some highly respected pros sounded awful! Like Mr X says, it's what it sounds like in the band context that really counts [/quote] Didn`t someone post one of Geddys isolated bass tracks and it wasn`t the spot on bass part that most of us think it is? I think that most of us at sometime hear the clunkers we play but as has been said, in the live setting, it all sounds right.

Don`t worry about it. I have bought 3 Thunderbirds when I know I just don`t get on with them. Out of interest, what were you playing before and how were they comfort wise?

I would go with the Yam over the P bass. I like P basses but they can be a bit iffy QC wise sometimes and with your budget a BB could be a better bet. The P pickup is good and you also get the added bonus of a Jazz pickup as well. And before the Fender lovers dive in, I own a P bass and have done for years. I just reckon at the price point the Yam is much better value.

Here is a link to Gak. Good prices. [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/yamaha-trbx504-4-string-bass-twh/81954"]http://www.gak.co.uk...-bass-twh/81954[/url] [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/yamaha-trbx304-4-string-bass-bk/81930"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/yamaha-trbx304-4-string-bass-bk/81930[/url]

Just when you think GAS has gone..... That black 4 string is a damm fine looking bass.

Give the bass doc a shout. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/4905-the-bass-doc/"]http://basschat.co.uk/user/4905-the-bass-doc/[/url]

On a T bird, turn the neck pickup up full and turn that pesky bridge pickup down completely. The neck pickup alone is enough for me. It kicks a*s!

I have a MAG300 head that I bought around 2002/3 and it`s still doing the biz. It is one of the British ones and it was in a combo to start with. Here`s a review of the combo. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_z0mDKMaAY[/media]

Is that not a BM or MB bass or something like that? Indonesian Squiers are usually ok. CC music is an ok shop, the guy Steve, has been in business for years. I was in last week and this wasn`t there so I can`t comment on this one.

Our sponsors in Nigeria will soon be depositing 1 million quid in your account. Just send me your bank account details over and we will sort it out

I had a V plate focus and had to scrap it last year. The wife decided that we should have a "sexy black fiesta" and there is sod all room in the back, even with the seats down. I miss the old girl...

People assume that if you play bass then you are a failed guitarist. Wrong!! I have no interest whatsoever in playing a six string guitar.

Also, Why Does it Hurt When I Pee? [/quote] Franks Zappa answers that question on track 7 of Joes Garage- Why does it hurt when I pea?, Answer "I got it from the toilet seat!"

Spongebob, the demise of a band is a stressful time for all of us. Best not to make any rash decisions! [size=4] [/size]

I don`t think the 50` is nitro. I think the Nate Mendel is nitro? Or you could look out for a 2nd hand Highway 1. Just checked, the NM is [color=#333333][font=open_sansregular, sans-serif]Nitrocellulose Lacquer. I reckon if you want to go new, that is the cheapest option.[/font][/color]

Anyone want a set of speakers for their computer? They are in perfect working order and cost about £20 when new but sound ok. You must be able to collect them from Paisley.

Watched this today on the I player. What a talented pair of guys. The amount of hits they have played on is amazing.
