Well done Spoombung, great bit of writing. Garry

[quote name='tinyd' timestamp='1385381607' post='2287485'] sounds like she's being constructive and polite so I'm not sure if the negativity from some posters is justified. [/quote] Might well be the case, a phone call or face to face usually gets to the bottom of things better than emails or texts, or even better, they spend the night together in a hotel.

A hard choice, but in the end [size=4]one really hit the picture vibe for me, [/size] [size=4]with thoughtful arranging, [/size][size=4]a good strong theme [/size][size=4]and avoided a lot of repetition.[/size] [size=4]Good stuff all round, top marks to everyone.[/size] [size=4][spoiler]Spoombung[/spoiler][/size]

Not mad at all, nice trio of excellent players having a good time, and of course played well. Love the arrangement and really nice to hear something different up on Basschat. Garry

Voted (again) 202.

Turn up on a Mozart gig to find the Orchestra playing the wrong tune. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJXnYMl_SuA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJXnYMl_SuA[/url]

Lol.... All good fun Scott. [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Oh and a very merry well played all round.[/size]

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1384691389' post='2279453'] What is all this crap? I'm getting hot MILFs and lonely Texas wives following me on Soundcloud. I can mute them, [/quote] Have you ever tried muting a Hot Milf, or Texas wife? Try putting something in their mouth other than a sock, that should do the trick.

The band are ok and seem to be into it - not really for me though. I might have found the singer a looker back in my beer goggle days, but I have tightened up on my quality control since then.

Voted - Good Luck.

[i]"Dear musicians,[/i] [i]To work on a cruise ship you must pass a medical exam. [b]How detailed this exam is depends on the cruise line that has offered you a job.[/b] Some include detailed blood analysis, drug tests, chest x-rays, detailed medical questionnaire and more. Some cruise lines require that your Body Mass Index (BMI) is below 35.[/i] [i]Being in good general health is thus important and we want to make sure our clients are aware of this policy so they won’t be surprised later.[/i] [i]Some musicians are asking whether they can get a medical exam done before they are offered a gig on a cruise ship. This, however, does not make much sense since all of these cruise lines have different medical exam procedures. Wait until you’ve been offered a job to get a yours done. At that point we’ll be able to give you detailed instructions and provide you with the correct forms.[/i] [i]Once completed, the medical results are typically valid for 2 years.[/i] [i]It’s also important to note that the exams are at your cost. Some cruise lines reimburse a part of the costs to you once on board the ship, some don’t."[/i]

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1384379555' post='2276080'] It looks like it would sit a bit too low down on the player's knee. [/quote] It's not meant to sit on a players knee. In fact it was one of the first ever custom Basses made. I believe it was made for John Holmes.

[quote name='jackotheclown' timestamp='1384360870' post='2275702'] So I finally got a cruise ship gig and I have been told that I have to have a medical (obviously). Its with Carnival and the have set medical practices that you have to go through and I've been quoted £450/500 pounds for mine at a place down in London. Carnival don't reimburse you for this just the visa. I thought this amount was a lot but the agency says its a decent quote, I have the appointment booked for Tuesday next week, if someone can tell me if this is a good/bad deal I will be very grateful! - Jack [/quote] I have done a few ships, and Dingus above is on the nail. Although I have not done one for a while, I can't ever remember paying my own fees (however much they were) They were covered by the company(s) Worth a look.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1384370523' post='2275876'] I'm wiring up some cow sheds next week [/quote] Thats cruel Pete. I bet you will be busy wiring up Turkey sheds then. [size=4] [/size] [size=4]On a serious note, thanks for the description, I was truly baffled.[/size]

Unusual that Carnival don't swallow the cost. Depends on the line/company really, but some do pay these fees. The new Queen Lizzy Theatre, and a ship worth doing. A view from the office. [size=4][/size]

What is it ?

No Jewish wedding takers then ? Four hours of double/cut time, two in the bar madness. Who needs standards, when you have.... Hava Nagila, Mazel Tov, Tzena Tzena Tzena, Hora dancing. [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='6v6' timestamp='1384244969' post='2274283'] This one is infinitely more impressive IMO, great playing throughout the whole band, really tight and pro sounding, great vocals. [/quote] Yep, a[size=4]nd a few added chord movements in there as well.[/size]

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1384015757' post='2271955'] oh my. why cant you guys just say. yeah Andrew i like the playing and enjoyed it, or no Andrew i dont like it and your a twat. ? [/quote] So that's you in the video with a pair of Jugs ?

[size=4]No better, no worse than a lot of these type of LooseTubes videos posted,[/size] [size=4]Although I tend to agree with what xilddx (Nigel) has said. [/size] There does seem to be a lot of fascination with cover version posts at the moment. I had this one sent to me the other day. Warning - The Bassist ain't got a pair of jugs on show.
