For 2 hours on stage Cetera [b]is [/b]The Demon :ph34r: Sorry I didn't get chance to say hi after, had to run for the Tube. Good to meet up with Thunderbird13 and Mrs Thunderbird13. Quality gig. Comments from my mates included 'Paul Stanley can [i]really [/i]sing like Paul Stanley' & 'your mate is the best in the band' .

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='763151' date='Mar 3 2010, 05:18 PM']I am unsure whether there is any connection between Andysguitarnet and Andy's Guitars, the now-defunct retailer previously occupying premises on Denmark St. The latter has incurred some particularly pungent criticism from several members here, relating to allegedly questionable business practices.[/quote] nothing allegedly about Andrew John Preston and his questionable business practices. I have the court papers from when he stole my Fender Bassman 135 head - sold it and didn't give me the money - but he managed to claim bankruptcy while still keeping hold of his Rolls Royce. (I have the legal papers from this too) IMO he is scum of the most vile order and should be avoided at all costs regardless of where he is know working.[color="#FF0000"] The above is my opinion alone backed up by the legal documents I have which are a matter of public record. I am willing to share these records. Opinion in this post is not necessarily that of Basschat, it's owners or users.[/color]

Believe it or not. [/quote] I do beleive it! My custom Shuker has a single pup, no tone control, but it has a ramp that covers most of the area under the strings. Adjusting position and technique makes it mightly versatile [color="#000080"]for me[/color].

have a great gig in Cambridge, but don't peak too soon, leave something for that London

[quote name='Doddy' post='760139' date='Feb 28 2010, 08:52 PM']Oh yeah......... Orianthi is hot.[/quote] initially I was thinking 'Jennifer Batten has aged well'. doh IMO it could have been so much more. It looks like the deliberate cash-in that it is, rather than a fitting tribute.

[quote name='sk8' post='760665' date='Mar 1 2010, 12:56 PM']Now upped to a 5 string with thru body [/quote] pics!

if you are anywhere near that London and are going to the London Bassbash, I'll take mine and you can have a fiddle.

As general rule - 1 finger per fret. that has the first 4 frets covered. If your little finger is on the 4th fret, you should be able to move your hand so your index finger is on the 5 fret without looking, then you have postions 5, 6, 7, and 8 covered. Adjust for what key or position you start on. I tend to find looking at the fretboard gets in the way of throwing shapes and posing [attachment=43745:dsc_0119.sized.jpg]

SORTED. Thread can be deleted or left to die...

I may be able to go, the wedding is on the 23rd! Wise words from the man himself on Rockschool.

April 25th. Bu993r! How can I get out of going to MacWifey's best friends wedding?

Bump?

it would be worth it just to p155 off any guitarists

[quote name='OldGit' post='753485' date='Feb 22 2010, 08:41 AM']Just as a '64 Jazz bass, for example, is a vintage bass, the sound it makes is also vintage.[/quote] but it wasn't a vintage bass in the 60's and the sound a '64 Jazz made in '64 would be different to the sound it makes over 50 years later. The players using basses in the 60's were not using vintage instruments, therefore could not have had a vintage tone. The concept didn't exist.

what I don't get is when people talk about players having a vintage tone. At the time they were not using vintage instruments.

I have 2 Samson Resolve 65a monitor's and the right one has stopped working. It was fine yesterday but this morning the blue light isn't coming on and there is no sound. I've tried different leads and plug sockets, so know it's not that. They are out of warranty, so I'm gonna take the back off and see if I can spot an obvious loose wire or something, otherwise any suggestions? ta.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='748713' date='Feb 17 2010, 05:33 PM']you beat me to it. i'm trying to 'learn' perfect pitch at the moment. some people say it can't be done, others disagree. i have a friend with synaesthesia. he sees shapes when tasting. he makes wonderful beer.[/quote] when I was at college many years ago, I remember reading about a course designed to help you develop perfect pitch. They used colours, I remember F# was green.

still no reply, but I'm not gonna let it drop.
