... it's not a waltz?

You should be able if the musicians were any good and used the time signatures. So 6/8 would have a 1-2 feel with accents on beats 1 and 4; 12/8 would have a 1-2-3-4 feel with accents on beats 1-4-7-10; 4/4 would maintain the standard 4 beat emphasis.

It's only the brothers who are being talked about. No-one seems to care about the rest of the band.

As someone new to EUB (4 days in 😆) who would like to try arco, this thread is making me very sad... 😉

I'm enjoying playing it, so that alone justifies buying it 😆 I'm trying a lighter touch with my picking hand, but I know bass guitar technique is not the way to go. Also I need to work on left hand muting. As an aside, given the price point, being Ibanez I would have assumed they were made in Japan, but they are made in Indonesia.

Off the top of my head, all I can suggest is Aretha, and Natural Woman.

Careful! Read the small print on products claiming to be sugar free "excessive consumption may result in laxative effects" 😬

Not sure if this counts but I've just got an EUB which I'll be using in one of my bands. I've never had one before, or played one in anger. It's a different technique and I can already see there is a lot of practice I need to do.

I bought it! 😁 I'll write more later, but first impressions were it's easy to play, although gonna have to brush up on technique. I thought I'd find my own way, and played quite happily in the shop for about 20 minutes. However when I got home my picking fingers were aching, so I'm gonna need some advice!

Noel has a £20million divorce so Oasis may be reforming? Does anyone care who the rest of the band will be? Will Liam claim to have a sore throat and bunk off a few gigs, or will there be a fight a few songs in which will mean the rest of the reunion gigs are cancelled? More news tomorrow...

Easier said than done. Especially if you're fighting genetics too 😟

You can if you freeze it!

Where does one post a NED (new electric-upright-bass day) thread? 😁

Before and after pics?

My main guitar is a Silver Series Tele. I'm yet to play a Fender USA Tele that's any better. The Silver Series is so underrated, they are effectively Japanese Fenders, but sell for bargain prices.

This and this... Not my pics, but I have gigged a decent sized pub with these.

Snapdragon folding bass. Proper bass, short scale, and folds smaller than a uke for transport

Was that gig in Liverpool?

I already have more books than I could possibly read in my lifetime. So what do I do? Yup, buy more books. TBF this isn't much of a problem as I tend to buy ebooks. But in terms of FX pedals, I have multi FX , and synth pedals I still haven't got round to learn how to use. So what am I doing? Yup, looking at the BC for sale forum because there's a pedal now on sale that I really wanted when I was younger. I have no practical application for it's use, it won't suit any of my bands. But...

You can report a bank account you believe is being used for criminal activities. Contact Action Fraud. You can also report it to the bank, it's a Bank of Scotland account, and they are part of the Lloyds Banking Group.

Try the Electoral Roll. Do a search of Edinburgh Council.

I was wondering the same thing! 🤣
