Just got permission to publish this ...

Yes I know. Not really the thrust of my question though ...

That Heil shure is pretty, but can it walk the walk as well as the original 55? For £185 I'd want a lot more than a pleasant blue glow making my face look like an alien down the Dog & Duck.

All American Alien Boy by Ian Hunter, maybe 60 seconds in. That's the young and unknown Jaco Pastorius more-or-less announcing his arrival. I bloody hate everything about Jaco and his music, except that solo.

Yes, but realistically, after investing 20 years, surely it's worth giving it another five? Y'know ... just in case ...

Bassist needed for cruise ship function band!
Happy Jack replied to Jack2018's topic in Bassists Wanted
The daft thing is, most of the passengers on a cruise ship are much more likely to be in their 50s than their 20s. -
Or, with alternative lyrics by Allan Sherman: Louis XVI was the King of France in 1789. He was worse than Louis XV, he was worse than Louis XIV, he was worse than Louis XIII. He was the worst since Louis I.

When is a 58 not a 58, or a 414 not a 414
Happy Jack replied to Owen's topic in Accessories and Misc
https://www.red5audio.com/ The RVD30 is perfectly adequate for most applications you might use an SM58 for, and if you ask Red Audio nicely they will normally do a 'four for £100' deal. -
Anyway, if the football coverage of the England matches is anything to go by, by far the most popular football song is God Save The Queen.

Yup, Burt Lancaster was one helluva front man.

In all fairness to Shure, I should perhaps mention that I saw Mr. Venom in action just once, and his antics made it one of the most memorable gigs I've seen in a whole lifetime of gigs.

Outstanding work, sir! And what's age got to do with it?

Who needs woodworking tools.....
Happy Jack replied to lemmywinks's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I played a pub a couple of weeks ago which was entirely papered with 'red brick'. I wouldn't have minded so much, only it was an 18th century building ... -
Does this need phantom power? -

Use a shovel? I think that IS a shovel. -
London-based full-time bass guitar course?
Happy Jack replied to Hambone's topic in General Discussion
Oh, I don't doubt that it's a fantastic course. The clue is in the OP's use of the word "retired". A student loan is largely irrelevant when you're no longer earning, and that's a helluva lot of money to spend on improving your bass-playing with little prospect of earning it back. What would a good bass teacher charge for tailored one-on-one sessions? £30 an hour? £50 an hour tops? Even at that rate, that course would buy 127 personal sessions in your own house, twice week for 15 months. Think about it. -

And only £6350 ... -
Believe it or not, I tried to persuade The Junkyard Dogs to introduce that. The suggestion was not well received ...

The 55 is the classic Elvis mic and it's a wonderful thing, but it's a different beast from an SM58. It's worth spending a bit of time getting the EQ and levels just right - you will be well rewarded. Lovely rich sound.

At which position do you measure the action on a DB, Rabbie? I thought I had my action pretty high but I'm sure it's not over a centimetre, so maybe I'm looking at a different place.

Tonight I depped for a functions-ish band in St. Albans. I have now played Le Freak and Blame It On The Boogie, Dancing Queen and Waterloo, even Uptown Funk, and I was gutted when we ran out of time before I could play Disco Inferno. Never played ANY of those songs before in front of an audience. Years of pop/rock and blues/rock and Dadrock but never disco. Don't know where you all rate that lot for coolness or otherwise, but some bloody good fun to be had! Just thought you'd like to know. 😁
