Oooops. I just sued myself by accident.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1509386264' post='3398533'] This is a thread which begs for a Hamster intervention. [/quote] Careful now. I got a call from the PC brigade on another thread because I had not made the distinction between hamsters and gerbils. I got my shoulder felt for being insensitive to the rights of all rodents to be individuals. The harassment case is due to be heard in February of next year.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1509306268' post='3397962'] Looks like a similar technique to the Chapman stick; maybe she plays that, too..? [/quote] At this time of year I [i]always[/i] carry a chap-stick in my handbag.

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1509232251' post='3397506'] Would you have [i]put it up[/i], if it was Johnny Vegas playing this tune in his underpants? [/quote] Would you mind rephrasing that please? Mr Vegas is concerned about his role in this scenario.

[quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1509226281' post='3397478'] I'm in love! [Media]http://youtu.be/kHG2T3OAJ8w[/media] [/quote] I'm sure she's lovely and all that but I've already had enough of relationships where there are too many strings attached.

Welcome Mark. Did some work for Triumph Motorcycles' R&D in their first factory in Hinckley in the nineties. I believe it has since burned down.

Lots and lots of knob twiddling potential then. Marvellous.

Swoon

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1509304881' post='3397939'] ..."Dancing in the moonlight" (Thin Lizzy's I hope?)... I'm happy. [/quote] Of course. It's one of the lines that made me really listen to bass in my teens.

Welcome Jacob. Impressive interests.

Collected a pair of speakers from Martin today. Free of charge from his post in the recycle sub-forum. Decent chap, he was helpful with directions, he demo'd the speakers for me and saw us safely out onto the main road as we were leaving. Smooth transaction. Cheers Martin

[quote name='Yank' timestamp='1509267125' post='3397601'] Historically, the role of bass was support. Like drums and piano, it was part of the rhythm section. Without rhythm, the whole thing falls apart. I just heard Sting's "Fields of Gold" on the radio. I had never anylised it before. It's voice, some airy-fairy keys and the BASS! The bass is the melodic/rhythmic instrument holding the song together. It's not vituosic, but it's perfect for the song. What more do we need? If a motorcyclist can get where he's going without an accident, does it matter if he doesn't jump the Grand Canyon like Evil Knieval? [/quote] Does it matter if he can?

Dweezle and Moon Unit have fallen out? Oh no! How I wished I had been there during the name-calling phase of the argument.

Do you earn anything from this band? Will the new set be more profitable? That would be my starting point before saying anything. Even if you do it just for the joy of it, I'd have thought it would be an interesting progression (regression perhaps?). Early sixties simple pop is not so simple to execute well. Looking around at other bands would bring you up to speed with the market, so to speak, and you need not commit to anything until you've had discussion with your band. You [i]must[/i] discuss this with the established members if you still feel strongly about it.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1509181747' post='3397150'] sure hope the Police don't take two years to clear him, their usual investigation time it seems, we need him in Australia Whoops wrong thread, not sure how that happened [/quote] ...while the gentleman holds the neck of the stuffed goose absolutely rigid... Whoops, me too. Soz

[quote name='prowla' timestamp='1509209318' post='3397355'] The thing about you is you don't know how good you are; you made that story our own. [/quote] Precision patronage. Nicely captured. Heeheehee

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1509232025' post='3397505'] Not really. It's more likely to be the marketing department of the label they are on are doing 'something right' - i.e. spending cash on media saturation. Crazy Frog charted globally and the ringtone alone made over half a billion dollars, I'm fairly sure that doesn't make it a great piece of music. It's just marketing. [/quote] Was that before or after he was emasculated? He used to be the frog's b0ll0x 'till he suffered the unkindest cut of all. [attachment=256461:EntireCrazyFrog.jpg]

[quote name='Combed20' timestamp='1509211779' post='3397366'] Hi all. I have been offered a paying dep gig for early Dec and there is a lot to learn. Wondering what kind of cheat sheets people use -if any at all. Music stand with printed tabs or can anyone recommend an app for a table? Thanks in adv. [/quote] With singing I always had my first line written under the title on my set list. I don't really need much prompting with basslines right now but if I was struggling with a new set I'd probably write the first four bars in TAB by the title. I must buy a music-stand that can handle TAB without being snooty about it. Touch screens are a bit unsympathetic too. They don't like my calloused fingers so I'd check that you don't have the same problem IIWY. PS; Good luck with the dep.

I'm old school. I like cathodyne music. http://cathodyne.com/

What? You'd have been okay with Will I Am?

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1509177298' post='3397114'] I watched a YouTube video a while back where a guy used just that, but he had to make his own dremel attachment using a standard abrasive wheel which he wore away into a cup shape. It was for a fanned fret guitar with cnc milled fret slots. He pre-cut and rounded all his frets before fitting them. Looked amazing whenever he was finished. Can't for the life of me remember who it was... Edit: easier found than expected! [url="https://youtu.be/moxUw3Ke2Q0"]https://youtu.be/moxUw3Ke2Q0[/url] [/quote] Many thanks.

Worrying... News today; the Cowell has had a fall. Occupational hazard when you are so top heavy with an enormous bloated head I suppose.
