simple but effective.

weren't Status doing this a few years ago?

Last not was a weird one. A 3 set affair at the The Old Ford near Aldershot. There were people in the pub, but not too many, and the England match was on - although they didn't seem to be paying too much attention to it. The audience response was lacklustre to say the least, and was my first gig in the year I have been with the band that no-one danced. But when we played the last song they were cheering for an encore. Go figure.

This thread reminds me of the Bill Bailey skit, where the jazz keyboardist thinks he's playing toccata and fugue in Dm, in a solo, but actually ends up playing the theme to Ski Sunday.

Arguments about technology are only relevant if placed in context. Jamerson used the most technologically advanced bass of the day, Jimi Hendix used the most modern equipment he could get his hands on. As with all technology good or bad only come in to play when you decide what to do with it, but where music is concerned it can only ever be a matter of opinion.

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1349963272' post='1832793'] I don't suppose you know which hotel? I did start thinking about a Northampton bash, there's a thread on here somewhere. I'd just be worried that no-one would turn up and I'd sit there looking silly [/quote] I think it was Paul C who used to arrange it? IIRC the hotel was just off M1 junction 15.

there's something nice about an open D that you just don't get from a B string on the 3rd fret. Try tuning to the harmonic on the 12th fret.

Am I the only one who though this thread was going to be about Rudy Sarzo?

Nik bought my Boss BR600. A scholar and a gent.

[quote name='Buzzy' timestamp='1349214735' post='1823554'] Would you want to be in a band where the bass player is "Promoted" to 2nd guitar ? [/quote] i wouldn't want to play bass in any band who would have me as a bass player.

As the SE Bash seems to be the biggest, and we no longer have the National bash, how would the organizers and managemennt feel about the SE bash becoming the National?

Bump for tonights gig at The Telegraph on Putney Heath. Should be a gud 'un!

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1349084857' post='1821414'] I'd like to add my bit and say what a fun time I had on Saturday, epsecially the jam space and Pauls effort on the electric skins. Sibob's talk was a highlight, especially his dancing 51m0n and compressors was informative and I *think* I can do it now, or at least, get a more sensible use out of it. Maybe next time I'll pluck up more courage to talk to more people and maybe ask if I can try some rigs or basses As an addtion, why the M25 was broken on Saturday...

I left it on the For Sale table with your user-name on it.

The day went too fast, I didn't get a chance to chat to talk to a load of people, didn't manage to try all the gear I wanted to, and I missed Si's fx talk, and was probably the only person not to win anything in the raffle Otherwise had a great time Lots of fun in the jam room, and thanks to Seashell for putting up with myself and billyapple ABing Les Paul's! Many thanks to all involved, here's to the next

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1348855676' post='1819248'] Nik, as far as I know, Paul [b]will[/b] be there (and so will I, and Simon). We'll all be missing Jack but hopefully a day's rest will allow him to feel better. [/quote] yep I can confirm we will have a drummer. Bl00dy good one too, plays in a rather mavellous band...

so the order seems to be: 1. Si600 2 silentbob 3 Lenny B 4. steve-soar 5. Geek99 Si600 i'll see you tomorrow!

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1348755523' post='1817785'] Go on then [/quote] first at the bassbash?
