  1. I'm not the biggest Jaco fan, but I did enjoy his take on this Hendrix classic;
  2. Simultaneously the most ridiculous, and most awesome bass...
  3. Thought it was going to be the baby elephants...
  4. I don't think any band has filled an arena in the last fortnight!
  5. And also punk happened 'because of'. Depending on your definition of Punk, it has been filling arenas and stadiums for the last few decades.
  6. Well flap me sideways, I've done it again. How nice. 3 times in the last 4 days.

    🍾🎉🎊

      It's interesting how posting bad jokes gets you points.

      When this little lot is over maybe you should try and make your fortune in the Christmas cracker joke writers' community...?

      I shouldn't take the wee-wee.  It's good for morale.  Carry on.

      It's definitely not my in depth bass knowledge that's popular! 😝

      It's like when you have to do drinks after work.  You don't really want to spend your down time talking shop.

  7. Badgers not withstanding, this thread has gone quiet. No-one online gigging? Maybe Steve Lawson could contribute?
  8. Today should have been epic, as I had a gig in a pub by the finishing line of The Boat Race. The pub want to rebook us - which is awesome - but today would have been guaranteed crowds and a great atmosphere.
  9. Bernard's line are great. Do you play them like him, finger style, but often using the finger like a pick? Could be wrong, I haven't watched any tuition bids, but that looks like what he's doing when playing.
  10. Ooh, I won the day. Yay me!

    Do I win £5?

      Sure.  You even get a choice...

      Muscle weighs more than fat, so I'll take the muscle ;)

  11. Who else should have been gigging tonight?
  12. What he said ^^^
  13. https://www.reaper.fm/download.php I'm tempted, self isolation would seem to be the perfect time to finally learn? Is the Basschat Reaper collective available for advice and support?
  14. My band have agreed to play a couple of our regular (well paid) venues for free when they reopen.
  15. Yup. Rhythm Stick Also, Keep the Faith. Not particularly difficult just relentless. Took a while to nail it, the secret seems to be to use the open D.
  16. All March gigs now cancelled, although we are in the fortunate position of them all being rearranged.
  17. I've had to bail on tonight's rehearsal, after consultation with the band, as I am self isolating. Saturday's gig was looking increasingly unlikely.
  18. Saturday's gig is still on at the moment, but we're now a bit wary of advertising it, in view of the Government recommendations. If we do, it may seem like we don't give a stinky poo about people's health if we are encouraging people to come to the club? What are the rest of you doing for gigs that are still on?
  19. Although the website has not been updated and tickets are still for sale.
  20. Announcement on Facebook
  21. There is no shame in asking for help! Obviously the Music unions, MU, and ISM, if you are a member. But also charities may be able to help. It's what they do. Don't let pride get in the way if you are suffering. https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do
  22. Boat Race cancelled, Boat Race gig cancelled ☹️ Hope you have better luck.🤞🏼
  23. All my gigs are currently going ahead as planned, but one is at The Boat Race. I'm wondering if a ban on public events is brought in, would it apply, as it's not actually in a venue?
  24. I thought a pony was £20?
  25. this would never had occurred to me. Genius!
