Only time I ever broke a string was years ago when D'Addario brought out copper strings. I think it was the G string. Made my fingertips turn green too.

YYZ , just killer Mayor of Simpleton by XTC cramps me up

MXR M87, especially if it's your first foray into compressors. Ten LEDs show you clearly how much the comp is doing at a glance, transparent, heaps of adjustment.

I have the Blackstar, loud enough with my passive J to keep up with two acoustic guitars and a cajon get the extension speaker for more oomph

great news. I've lost count of the number of people that say they don't know any of their songs, then when I put their greatest hits CD on, they know most of them but didn't know it was STP. I was one of them hehe De Leo is an awesome melodic bassist,maybe the most under-rated? cheers for sharing this

haha this should be good

The equation to scientifically determine the optimal number of basses to own is clearly set out in the following equation: B= N + 1 where B is the optimal number of basses to own N is the actual number of basses currently owned

honestly the difference in width is negligible. for years I thought I preferred Jazz necks, then I bought two Ps and honestly I can't tell the difference, the profile is far more important than nut width.

If I could CLONE him I'd be a rich man ....:)

WINNER WINNER WINNER WINNER

the obvious answer is to buy an acoustic bass, as if you need a good reason to buy another bass lol

shame it has the mids scooped , otherwise I'd still be using mine. I have a punk project coming up so I will use it again for that, does the Geddy Lee grind really well with a jazz with rounds

every time I see a film clip where instruments get wet I think what a bunch of wasteful ar$eholes! glad you're using a 'blank", good luck and post the vid when ready

we start with our most upbeat song. BAM ! but then we don't have to worry about people joining or leaving the dance floor, we play only originals hehe badoom tsch

JPJ, just to play with Bonzo, if I have to include Jimmy P then so be it

agree. In the 80s and 90s we were loose as the Stones, well, almost. Now we are tight as, me and the drummer have not made a mistake in our first three shows, apart from the occasional dropped stick. On the other hand,saw a mate's cover band, and in every song the lead guitarist fluffed the solo , ones that we all know. It was god aweful. I love my bands

found the perfect carry bag for my bass fly rig a drumstick bag ! fly rig in one half and battery power supply in the other my bag is slightly different to the pic above, it has one wide pocket each side.

how did it go? pics or it didn't happen

Where is that soft hitter and do you have his phone number?? his name is George. He is 65. you can't have him he's ours...and five other bands'

no flat string will be 'clanky' , but Chromes get closest imho ymmv

dannybuoy got it in one, do it for all pedals

agree with above post, once a week to work on new originals is a must for us. We are all mature so real life stops this from happening every week, but mostly we do. We enjoy each other's company a lot,that helps immensely. Three of us have known each other for over 30 years so we know each other very well. think yourself lucky that you discoverred they are all flakes before you had too much invested in it. run forrest, run

haha one of my fave scenes from Spinal Tap "if I told them once I told them a THOUSAND times, Spinal Tap ABOVE Puppet Show" lol

The Beatles I was there in 1964 when 300,000 Adelaideans turned out to greet them outside the town hall I was 3 in my pram. Mum was a huge fan, I still have her early EPs. Then one day a mate played me Yes Roundabout. 'What's making THAT sound?" I asked That's a BASS guitar....and the journey started

I love classical music, Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin.......
