I liked it, well done Mr Skol - the P bass, was it ?

[quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1416826544' post='2613865'] All of these might be the possible situation, our drummer's snare drum is a bit over whelming somtimes and there has been instances where Mr Rhythmn has spoken to him about it so maybe its worth backing him up next time about the snare and see if that has an effect on his/our volume. He isnt the most confident of players either, he's usually the one apologising about playing crap... eventhough we cant hear him anyway Trouble is I dont want to come across like Mr Bossy Boots telling everyone this is too loud and this is too quiet, but I want us to sound the best we possibly can! And I think you've just hit the nail on the head because I brought up the open mic nights idea but he was the first one to shoot me down. [/quote] All I meant was that he could have a bit more freedom and not be swamped, not least as the drummer wouldnt be there, or would be using bongo or bodhran or somesuch. Having done one open mic night, and utterly screwed it up due to nerves, I'm now feeling more pumped, not less.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1416835863' post='2614024'] I love Basschat for its sensible advice and practical solutions to people's problems. [/quote] AND the [i]sensitivity [/i]of course.

Probably has confidence issues - why not forget the drums for five minutes and give an acoustic and play along with him quietly to see if it's that ? You can't hide with an acoustic I had exactly this reaction on my first open mic night

I echo Jenny , I think it looks alright

Sorry to hear that- can I suggest a link to the sale thread ?

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1414765821' post='2593104'] I don't think it's gone to my bank account as it was a partial refund and I paid from my PayPal balance. I haven't used the account subsequently because I prefer to use PayPal as a 'float' so I don't use my bank account directly - that's because I've never really trusted them! Still trying to find a working phone number for them too - like many modern companies they pontificate about customer service and transparent working practices but remain as opaque as a pint of Guinness and as user friendly as an iPad with no screen. [/quote] I found an 0800 number on saynoto0870.com and they answered pretty quickly

I do - partner gets a bit tired That's playing bass, of course

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1416503330' post='2610975'] Yellow Jackets have reformed from other members of Simply Red and Green Gartside from Scritti Politti [/quote] Rainbow coalition ?

I found one of these in red on Amazon On my Xmas list now Sad I know

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1416433791' post='2610283'] Ah man did I miss a Ricky slagging session? Lol [/quote] There is still time

Is that a real fender ? Font looks wrong to me

It would become relic-ed quite quickly in my house

Nice IF I wasnt overrun with mugs, I'd want one

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1416391206' post='2609604'] I understand... [/quote]

no problem- email them first to ask if it will fit though

Still try the various ebay suppliers in the US ? i used seller:seyanne and madisons music store (in wisconsin) off evilbay - they have lots of types and the latter in particular is very helpful. shipping is quite quick and they do try and combine.

[quote name='Jenny_Innie' timestamp='1416127028' post='2607023'] If you play either in a pub band, the audience wouldn't really be able to tell which one without looking. [/quote] Sure - I doubt a punter would notice at all.

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1413747619' post='2581550'] Played The Approach In Nottingham last night, the place was rammed and we had them dancing from the off. Seems playing Disco and more recent dance classics goes down well every time! The night was rounded off with a fight between four women in their forties, leaving one of them out cold. Unbelievable. Do people really never learn to grow up? [/quote] No, but sounds about right for Nottingham Who's the lady in the shiny dress ?

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1416085451' post='2606807'] Following the departure of Courtney Love from Hole (due to her reading some negative feedback on her playing on Basschat), Fairport's Dave Pegg was the favourite to replace her. [/quote] He's a bit square for that.

Prince is actually a [i]real [/i]prince. Prince Roger. When Talking Heads were on tour they were granted exemption from having their trucks weighed; the bass player weighed them by suspending them from a rope connected to her mouth.
