Ours is a disco tribute band..... so you can only imagine.

I may be there on the Headstock Stand (Laney/Ibanez). May try and get some of the new HH bass combo's up there

Get in touch with Mike at Iceni/zootbass /Purple Chili http://www.purple-chili.com/iceni-zoot/

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1329950059' post='1550404'] This is the thing. Bruno Mars is not dross, he is almost completely derivative, saying nothing new, but he IS very good at what he does. However, all the geezers on here saying he's great would probably have a vastly different opinion if he was the winner of X-Factor, which is what he sounds like. [/quote] Indeed....... Though I'm 'one of those' that doesn't mind X-Factor

Bruno Mars......... Makes Blur look like they are not even trying!

I think they've been quite clever doing the re-works of popular covers. They've gotten themselves noticed by a lot of industry bods...... They are very young, talented and setting themselves up for life with the right people....

They have an original Album in progress at the moment.... should be awesome!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1329847011' post='1548478'] We're a nine-piece band, and there was still loads of air between us. I've played bigger... but not much! [/quote] I may have to break out the extra wide flares and extra puffy Afro.........

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1329846657' post='1548465'] Have a good one! I played there last December, the stage is mahoosive! [/quote] Yeah I heard that..... we've just been re-booked for a 2nd night too...... Disco'tastic!

Blimey........ Sorry folks........ [size=8][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]SOLD OUT!!!!!![/b][/font][/size] [size=8][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b] [/b][/font][/size]

I usually have contempt for the Event Organisers or Wedding Planner as they always forget to mention that they changed the layout of the room and put the bar in another area... away from the entertainment...

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1329773269' post='1547218'] Woeful. People paid to get in to see this? [/quote] My thoughts exactly..... how can he be so sh*t live but pretty awesome on recordings..... or does he have a 'stuntbassist' on standby?

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1329769567' post='1547123'] Nope. Usually end up thinking 'I can't believe you lot are stupid enough to pay us to come and play songs you already heard 10000000000000000 times before, that are piss easy to play and let us come back every other month and pay us to play the same set again!' [/quote] This is why I never go to see bands at the local boozers....

Do you want to go wireless? or are you happy to be wired

Ha.... Bilbo.... That's my trick too at Knebworth. We do a corporate there every Xmas, It's got to be the easiest out... Craig our drummer even just lifts his kit up with the toms attached and straight into the back of his X6.

Just stick it to the side of the cooker

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1329687626' post='1546050'] Sorry i meant no disrespect but 1000 miles/hour slap does not groove IMO, he sure aint no Larry Graham/BootsyMarcus/Verdine, as i said, perhaps you had to be there to really get down n funky, or possibly im talking utter bo**ocks! [/quote] Fair enough... but that's just showboating.... he does a lot more than just that 2 minute bass solo stuff..... Have a listen to the 'Level 42' album... plenty of tunes there that will suffice groove!

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1329680878' post='1545880'] Marks an amazing player, but, well, white men cant jump, as the saying goes.... sorry [/quote] Not sure what this means?? I'm going on the Monday I believe

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1329595441' post='1544770'] However I'll be pulling the trigger on an Eventide Pitchfactor and mating it to my Deep Impact at some point soon. Just to see what the arpeggiator in the Pitchfactor works out with the synthbass of the Deep Impact. [/quote] I'd be very interested in the results of this Kiwi....

I ended up buying a Vintage 4+1 Jazz type thingy for a project that required the look of a Jazz bass. I bought it I think for £350.... plays far better than any Fender 5 string I've tried

I guess you would just record the MIDI data and then assign that data in logic to ultra beat. You would probably need a MIDI map of the kit though.

New Drummer..... Simples

Could be a fake.... plenty of them around...

Martin Grech.... what a talent.... Think he was 17 or so when this came out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMtBGUJuMZM&feature=related
