  1. TimR the fact the bass was fine, was more due to luck than judgement. Had it been your NBD and you found your new bass had been thrown over the fence and left out in the rain, with someone fraudulently signing receipt, would you really have the same opinion?
  2. [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1432050811' post='2777590'] Taking things to the top can very often avoid a lot of being pissed about. And if the driver really was sacked (he probably was) then hopefully the word will spread amongst Parcel Force drivers, and the OP will have done us all a favour. [/quote] this
  3. [quote name='jmsjabb' timestamp='1431880833' post='2775847'] If you could! So, can you get a Fender Jazz sound easily enough? Do you have a hard case for it? Thanks [/quote] Pm'd
  4. I bought a combo from Wunjo bass (Denmark Street) in person, they couriered it the same day so I didn't have to carry it home.
  5. [quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1431807388' post='2775255'] Thank you all for your replies. MacDaddy that YT link is great as you are able to alter it speed and view exactly what he is playing however your second link doesnt seem to show anything but a random selection of YT videos. [/quote] Doh! Just tried it, and on my Kindle it goes to another bassist playing the tune, but closer to the camera.
  6. [quote name='jmsjabb' timestamp='1431789854' post='2775047'] Any links to hear it please? Is it more suited to metal / heavy rock, or is it very versatile? [/quote] Although it can do metal mightily well, it is very versatile. I'll have to have a search for clips.
  7. [quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1431783123' post='2774951'] This may help? [url="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bVOqAWl0jAA"]http://m.youtube.com...h?v=bVOqAWl0jAA[/url] [/quote] This is a bit better. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=dEZ3EigCCzg
  8. [quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1431768507' post='2774725'] I was a massive Queen fan up until about 1977 which is long before I got my first bass so I tended to not listen with any particular attention to JD's basslines instead I just listened to the whole ensemble. However of late I have been rekindling my interest in their early stuff particularly Sheer Heart Attack and was extremely impressed by his playing. He is a phenomenal bassist and surely fits into the category of under rated bassists simply by dint of not appearing in many peoples top ten lists. Flick Of The Wrist aside from being a great song has a wonderful bassline that I really want to learn but the few tabs I have seen so far dont seem very close. Anyone know of a decent tab for this song or sheet music? [/quote] This may help? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bVOqAWl0jAA
  9. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1431726769' post='2774500'] I don't know of any cover bands that can tour the country and sell 500-2,000 seats anywhere. Blue [/quote] The Australian Pink Floyd have played Wembley Arena, 12,500 seats and play arenas around the world, including the USA.
  10. I love Alice Cooper, seen him many times and he never fails to deliver. But there is something about those early albums that make me wish I could have seen the Alice Cooper band live. From the Inside, and Billion Dollar Babies, are still 2 of my fave albums.
  11. [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1431617313' post='2773284'] But is Frank's description TRUE or BLUFF? [/quote]
  12. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1431610924' post='2773189'] Are you referring to Viz's showbiz correspondent Ms Fanny Batter? I think we should be told. [size=4][/quote][/size] You may think that, I couldn't possibly comment [size=4] [/size]
  13. [quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1431504059' post='2771900'] My bass plays like batter. [/quote] This reminds me of something from Viz, which would be entirely inappropriate to post. [size=4] [/size]
  14. If I had the space I would never have got rid of all the basses I used to own.
  15. The OP is not responsible for the actions of the driver, or the actions of Parcelforce management. Had my property been treated the same way I would probably have done the same thing, and would have absolutely no guilt at the outcome.
  16. [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1431527335' post='2772257'] I think with a big enough amp, time and space will move around it... [/quote] In which case it should be named 'the Continuum' [size=4] [/size]
  17. Earlier this year, only the bar staff were present for the first set and they wondered off, so we were playing to literally no-one.

  19. [quote name='tonybassplayer' timestamp='1431444264' post='2771440'] We have 3 so safety in numbers :-) [/quote] [size=4] [/size]
  20. I've been in bands who wouldn't have been able to do 3 songs in 14 days :-(
  21. And regarding the toilet?
  22. I think there is psychology involved. At some point the size of an audience rather than being a number of individuals, becomes one audience. As you are then dealing with one entity, it can be easier psychologically to deal with.
  23. 14 songs in 3 days? Impressive [size=4] [/size]
  24. [quote name='bootsy666' timestamp='1431127270' post='2768158'] Well.... The speakers are in and wired up, and I have to say it's possibley the best and lousiest cab I've ever heard! I can't hear any phase issues what's so ever. Is a little on the heavy side now tho haha. I played it through it for 2 hours straight with drums and guitar and it just sounded like a good cab.
