  1. [quote name='6v6' timestamp='1457691603' post='3000953'] Personally I find a thumb pick *much* more awkward than a normal plectrum. [/quote] What doesnt suit some might suit someone else, though. And Dave has not been shaped by using a pick before, so he is fresh to the idea. A thumb pick my be just what needs. Or it could be a disaster - who knows. There's nothing to say that cos you dont get on one with one, neither will he. Suck it and see . Matron
  2. If a thumb pick is too awkward ( you wont know till you try one ) and you find you need to use a regular pick that you have to grip, then hows about putting some double sided tape on it ? PS Standlake ..thats like the the Australian bush isn't it ?
  3. In the miniscule metroplis of Witney
  4. And that upper horn - carved out of an old bag lady's big toe nail ?
  5. Less likely to drop it, obviously, and will stop that thumb ache from over gripping The only weird bit is that they want £1.50 to deliver something costing £1.30
  6. It hasn't sold yet - shock horror probe
  7. This is what you need - a thumb pick [IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/1zlbskx.jpg[/IMG] Get it from here... http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/accessories-c2/picks-plectrums-c50/jim-dunlop-jim-dunlop-white-plastic-single-guitar-thumb-pick-medium-9002r-p5205/s5247?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=jim-dunlop-white-plastic-single-guitar-thumb-pick-medium-9002r-jd9002r&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&gclid=CKKupJGmt8sCFRBmGwodHgAOvQ
  8. 30 years on and CM still has the oddball Newport http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m46PUGCTV5I
  9. Add a Danelectro during the Helium Kids era http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xlH9eyyZ0M
  10. Yup, Ibanez Musician definately and fretless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Fp-omNXCw Wal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amx5CK7vdoc Fendery looking plank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH3IByibTpM Weird looking plank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We2ORbOVFuw
  11. They should be issued with a roll of Andrex , but every time i've heard one, they sound the asbo lute puppie's conkers
  12. They seem to make a fair range of pedals, yet have left out Octavers and E.Filters
  13. SIT Silencers - they feel like a chrome, though not quite as smooth, but near as dammit They give a tad more bite than chromes, which is why i use them on my fretless.
  14. One of these. 150kg and under £20 and they fold almost flat. They take up less room than a folding upright sack truck type Best £19 ever spent http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-FLAT-PLATFORM-TROLLEY-WHEELED-SACK-TRUCK-CART-PALLET-FOLDING-HANDLE-150KG-/171938986722?hash=item28085cbae2:g:D0AAAOSwPc9W2A3p
  15. RB40's on my fretteds and SIT Silencers on the fretless I'm happy enough, especially since i snagged 3 sets of RB40's for £7 a pack. Never seen them at that prce before that or since then. Shame
  16. 2 ? 45 mins a set and 2 sets for us
  17. Fool, along with Ain't No Love and Come On, are all in our set list, and rather than try to copy Neil's sweet fretwork, i stick to the basics and use my own fills. We're not a concours tribute act, so the accuracy is not important, as long as the fundamental riff is there. The fluff on top, is Neil's own icing on the cake, and isn't truly necessary IMO PS. Come on and Ain't No Love are so much easier , but i'd bet one of Neil's basses ( you listening Neil ? ) my lines, even for those, are not truly accurate And i may have just won one of Neil's basses
  18. Those gusses are unique, i have to say. I'd even play one, but i wouldnt pay for it. If i had the money to buy a Fodera , i still wouldn't. I'd take my cash to ACG and get him to build me a one off fretted and matching fretless, and still have enough sheckles left to buy a forest of sustainable cocobolo ( love that wood ) Still, everyone to their own..makes the world go round, guv
  19. There are some things we might do on the hoof, but only if we have to. We dropped a track at last saturdays gig, cos the voxist's larynx was giving up ( had a throat infection a few weeks before and was only just about recovered ) and had to throw in a backup , but i guess most of us have standbys for such occasions, so no real trauma
  20. 8 I bought 3 sets of these on eebuygumbay at a price that i havent seen repeated again. They seem to be hovering around the £13 area, but i grabbed 3 packs @ £7 per pack. Must have been some kinda clearout. Never saw them again [IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/8yxnig.jpg[/IMG] http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rotosound-Roto-Bass-Yellow-4-String-Set-RB-40-40-60-80-100-Made-in-the-UK-/231454896878?hash=item35e3c972ee:g:9GIAAOSw1vlUuQ7u
  21. [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1457269125' post='2996847'] This would do my nut in. [/quote] And mine We work off of a set list. Only 2 slow numbers, one each set. We dont gauge audiences either - they get what we give 'em
  22. There's nothing more frustrating than starting a band from scratch. Its partly why i've been in the same band for the last 7 years , but if we folded, i'd just look for one that was established already and simply looking for bassister
