  1. None of the Techs would have cared if it was David Bowie? derrière gravy!
  2. Had a punter trying to give the band a tray full of shots while we were playing. We were actually mid song and he was trying to hand them out. During the break a barmaid told us a punter had got a round in for us. Great, we thought, so we started to tell her what drinks we wanted. 'No' she said 'he's already ordered them'. Oh.
  3. This week I started learning it in earnest. Got the notes, now building up the tempo. FWIW I used to play in a metal band, incorporating elements of shred into my playing and soloing, so speed has never been a problem, but I am finding this a bit challenging. As I said earlier, Norm eh? He's a bit good!
  4. It's all gone horribly wrong https://www.loudersound.com/news/miley-cyrus-covers-metallica-and-nine-inch-nails-at-glastonbury?fbclid=IwAR2NeOn7QalxCGjmHyWhFUqAbhqFUFH1QovLsOx8J0_RwYfavqZvikYkBUc
  5. Xvives for me too. The only problem I've had was interference from the guitarists wireless, which went away when we changed channels. No lead is one thing, but no plug is real winner. Charge each unit and they last 5 hours.
  6. How it possible this is happening? I'm guessing that people doing the sound for bands during stadium tours, must among the best in the world at what they do? That being the case they have the knowledge of sound issues in stadiums, and how to rectify the problems. So is it that they just don't care?
  7. No interest in music festivals, but don't mind a Biker rally, which is essentially the same thing but with motorbikes.
  8. Not me but my basses. Punter asked me at a gig "why aren't you using your zebra bass?"
  9. Anyone used Resident Studios in London? https://www.residentstudios.com/ Opinions? ta.
  10. Apparently esteemed bassist and producer Youth, had an open sale at his home studio in South West London in February. Did any Basschatters go?
  11. Hats? Covers up the baldy heid, and if you use stage lighting, necessary to stop unwanted glare and reflection from said baldy pate.
  12. Cool. Not cold. As in epitome of cool 😎 Bootsy could wear a boiler suit & a welding mask, and would still be da funk 🀩
  13. Keep music live 😎
  14. Great thread! First bass was a Westone Thunder 1A borrowed from College. First owned bass Ibanez Blazer bass. First bass amp? Gotta think about that... Probably a god-awful Marshall 100w Guitar & Bass head. I think I paired it with a Peavey Black Widow cab.
  15. Best ever The Simpsons tonight, Homer the bass player πŸ˜„ "All the thrill of live music, without the fear of hearing something new..."
  16. Don't know the band, but in this case possibly just done for the purposes of the video?
  17. Hence Bach's Well Tempered Clavier.
  18. This was suggested last night at rehearsal, so we jammed it and it didn't sound too bad. Got the dots and song so gonna attempt to learn it ''properly'. Even so, still reckon there will be an element of improv. Norm eh? He's a bit good...
  19. Enjoyment of last night's gig was somewhat marred, by Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker no longer being a guest ale.
