If speed = shredding then there's no difference if you use a technique based on legarto. Funnily enough if I shred on guitar, I have to pick each note. But on bass I'm a fingers player and can use legarto.

Nikki Sixx. No song in particular, just him running about the stage throwing shapes and posing. I thought 'i'll have some of that'.

i wonder if my bass style will ever be in vouge.😃

er, yeah. Or at least that is the intention to buy one that's better.

If you need a pre-amp, does that mean your amp isn't much cop? 😛

saw them at The Horn in St Albans, getting on for 20 years ago. Great gig. Probably a completely different line-up Pauline excepted.

Swift by name...

confused what 'can't' we do?

do you play a Shuker Simon Rix sig P bass?

more praise for Wunjo Bass, going above and beyond the call of duty, and all I was buying was a single string!

RMS Studios are just by Putney Bridge. Easy enough to get to from Clapham, and not too bad for the rest of you - depending on what time you rehearse.

Anvil, have a lot to answer for!

where's the empathy button when you need one

what is a mistake though? If I play a wrong note but it fits and sounds ok is it a mistake? If I go in to the chorus too early on Jene Genie is that a mistake? If I'm doing a bass solo (yup, I've done 'em!) that doesn't quite work, is it a mistake even though I fully intended to play the notes I played?

so in terms of playing live and gigging with it, no latency or noticeable glitches?

There may be room for debate...

Hi to the Future Impact pedal users. It's been a wee while now, so how are you getting on with them? Now that you've recorded and gigged with them, what's your opinion? Any live latency issues? Do they record well? Do they live up to expectations and the price point?

Maybe the it was the need to have at least one band member who was a member of the M.U.?

Possibly, but it's wrong. Andrew came up with the chords and gave them to George to 'see if he could do anything with them'.

Back in the 00's when All-Bar-One used to do music. No-one had heard from the vocalist for a few days. Half an hour before the gig the guitarist went to find him. When they arrived we were due on so they came straight on stage. Guitarist had a pale worried look, which gets worse as the vocalist starts to emit woeful high pitched shrieks. I move closer to vocalist aiming to indicate wtf? but am repulsed (in every sense of the word) by an odour with its own post code. The short first set, continued thus, woeful wailing & the rest of the band trying to keep their distance from the vocalist, until vocalists Mother walked on stage, dragged him off and took him straight to a mental health facility. Turns out in the days we hadn't heard from him, he'd scored a massive bag of weed, and had been doing nothing but smoking it since. Whether this directly caused the psychotic episode he was sectioned for we'll never know. No idea who called his Mum.

Unfairly maligned is Ridgeley. Without Ridgeley, not only would there not have been Wham!, there would not have been George Michael. He co-wrote some of the early stuff, and helped launched Michael's solo career having co-written Careless Whisper. Michael always acknowledged Ridgeley's importance to himself and Wham! Love me a bit of Wham! 😎

Of course, just add your name to the list.

If you want to avoid batteries, or having to use a plug socket, and want cheap - £52 - here you go. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Donner-Rechargeable-Wireless-Transmitter-Receiver/dp/B0756YWWS9 The flip-side is they are a bit prominent, and the output is slightly reduced compared to a lead.

if you are anywhere near that London, you are welcome to try mine.
