Tiny: Wayne. How you doin'? Wayne: Hey, Tiny, who's playing today? Tiny: Jolly Green Giants and the Shitty Beatles. Wayne: Shitty Beatles? Are they any good? Tiny: They suck. Wayne: Then it's not just a clever name.

I stand corrected. The band I've seen are The Iron Ladies, not as previously alluded to The Iron Maidens. For avoidance of doubt this is who I mean: https://www.facebook.com/bandaIronladies/

awesome. Many thanks!

is it possible to download without having to be a member/sign up for the Sound Cloud?

Friday's gig, we were on straight after the football. Three Lions was our opener, and it took the roof off the place 😎 It was purely mercenary, we'd only learnt it a Wednesdays rehearsal, but it did job of getting the audience immediately onside 😁

So has anyone else's vocalist had an email from 'The Voice' asking if they would like to attend the auditions? It was a generic email sent to his personal address, which is linked to the band Facebook page, so I'm assuming there's been a job lot sent out? Since when did these telly talent shows have to ask people to audition? Are they not getting the numbers anymore, or is this the way 'The Voice' has always worked?

don't like him. Too talented. Not jealous. At all.

Bauhaus for me.

you'll always have bills to pay. You won't always get to see John Patitucci

I'm loving my Puma 500. It just sounds great. Small and light, but not light enough it drifts off the cab while playing... I originally wanted the 900 as I was playing in a mightily loud metal band, but the 500 came in a good price so I went with it, and it has always been plenty loud enough with room to spare. When gigging the EQ is usually set flat, as it seems to suit my bass and sounds great. Question - is the 'flat' setting voiced?

That is awesome! 😎

I love me some Dio, but Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell, just don't do it for me. Whereas stick some Holy Diver on, and 30 odd years just fade away... \m/

there's a Brazilian all female Iron Maiden tribute band, called Iron Maidens. Musically they are absolutely spot on. \m/

Music, football, beer and women. And in that order. Rod Stewart

Late 80'S Australian tribute band - Hans Valen

we've had a couple of requests. I can't do the first one because the bass doesn't fit...

I do like white block inlays on a maple fretboard 😎

I once saw a Coldplay tribute band (not my choice) do I Believe in a Thing Called Love, by The Darkness, as an encore.

Pint held purely for scale 😁

and this.

I used to have the PJB Dalek. Or M500 head and 8T & 16B cabs. It sounded great but wasn't loud enough, due to the speakers running at 16ohms IIRC.

My first bass - sort of. It was the college bass I learned to play on. Sounded good, but as others have said, they're heavy buggers 😋

That was my first thought when I saw the thread title!

Got a folding bass at work, and rehearse there too as all but one of the band work at the same place.

Trying to reply but I'm unable to paste text or links 😤 Take a look at the Wikipedia page for legato then look at the guitar section ☺ Or go to the YouTube and search for 'legato guitar' 🎸
