bazzbass

my ex's friend used to stalk a local musician really badly crazy woman. He had to run away from her at gigs. She'd follow him everywhere, poor bastard.

wow didn't realise we had so many snobs on here. Well I play only original music so I don't need anyone to write down what notes to play and what the rhythm is. I memorise it. I COMPOSE it all by myself. THERE. that is aimed at the dot readers thinking they are better than anyone who doesn't read dots :0 tongue firmly in cheek not saying my basslines are awesome, just that they're mine, with help from Sir Paul, JPJ, Geddy etc hehe

Drugs legal or otherwise

"Thank you, you're a lovely audience, Wayne"

can't ever have too many copies of this, thanks for sharing

if anything will be wrong with the bass it will likely be electronics. But don't worry, if you are aware that you MIGHT have to spend another couple of hundred on new electronics then you won't be too upset if that turns out to be the case. Maybe your friend could find a local bass player to take with him? Look in clubs bars etc?

In no particular order Beatles - Rubber Soul Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I ( and II III V In Through The Out Door Physical Graffiti ) Yes - Fragile Black Sabbath- Any early one...WAIT STOP ! your kids will never listen to a WHOLE ALBUM, if such a thing still exists. They don't have the attention span. So pick 5 songs Beatles - Rain Led Zeppelin - Ramble On Black Sabbath - Bassically/N.I.B Yes - Roundabout Rush - YYZ job done, when they've learned those note for note we will move on hehe

how would an African-American feel if he was at your show and was confronted by that symbol of slavery (in his eyes).? It's not about what I think or you think of it, it is what those offended by it think. you may tell me a homophobic joke, I'm not offended by it, you're not offended by it, but someone overhears it in passing and is offended by it.Therefore it IS offensive.

I still think you should sack the drummer all the best for a great gig

Aussie band Zoot covering the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby on guitar is Rick Springfield of Jessie's Girl fame.

[quote name='Jazzjames' timestamp='1503133526' post='3355904'] So you can easily recognize rhythm, but not pitch? Why should one be easier than the other? [/quote] coz my hearing is bad from standing next to drummers' cymbals for 20 odd years I can hear a kick and snare and the rhythm of the bassline very easily. The difference between two notes not so easily when you are half deaf in one ear and have constant loud tinnitus I can still work out basslines by ear. Takes me a bit longer than it used to. I use TABs too for bits I can't work out by ear

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1503060905' post='3355409'] . Therefore they need something that can convey rhythm properly, which tab is not really capable of. For most other situations where you can read the tab alongside listening to an original recording, it does its job perfectly! [/quote] Apart from snobbishness, this above would be the reason if reading a new piece. For learning covers, a TAB is perfectly fine because you know the rhythm and where the notes go from listening to the song.

I like the T Rex Fuel Tank JR. 5 outlets [url="http://www.t-rex-effects.com/fueltank-junior/"]http://www.t-rex-effects.com/fueltank-junior/[/url]

"it's rubbish" IS a critique of it's condition, what else could it be, sheesh now you tell me what I mean? the dude asked for opinions, I gave mine. You gave yours. Why attack me?

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1503004404' post='3355063'] I will be amazed if more than 1 of those cabs actually has speakers in it [/quote] And I reckon I know WHICH one that is hehe .......

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1502981040' post='3354846'] Ignore Mr Bazztard - he seems to like to dismiss/insult instruments he knows little or nothing about. [/quote] I wasn't insulting the brand, moreso the number of things wrong with that particlular one, like the tuners and all the dings and the nut. but yeah throw generalisations about. "you people" always do

thank him for the gift, then throw it in the bin it's rubbish and will greatly hinder your playing. Go buy an SX or Squier for less than $200 Euros DO NOT THROW MONEY AT THAT POS

very clever we jammed with acoustics and a cajon last night, no buggery at all

[quote name='Steve Browning' timestamp='1502872287' post='3354003'] If you told them you were unavailable then no gig should have been booked. Go to your gig. Not sure the band sounds like much of a proposition if you are thinking about recruiting another mouth to feed to supplement a passenger. [/quote] both of these points ! they booked the gig AFTER you told them you were unavailable. current guitarist only knows 8 of your songs means that your band IS NOT READY TO GIG YET. Unless you are the opening act

copy some Led Zeppelin songs , THEY didn't acknowledge the original writer either so surely can't complain if you record them too

saw a 5 set at my local shop today..........$111 AU !!!!!

haha I'm not falling for that you think you can trick me into listening to a Rick Astley vid just to spot a bassist? who cares who the bass player is.......

I assumed it was because kids were injecting vodka or acid into them to ingest at the festival. They're bringing them just for show? kids are so lame these days.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1502105986' post='3349312'] Many venues like to use their own DI, rather than a pedal, not really a problem as long as their DI is after the pedal/before the amp in the chain. [/quote] and lots of engineers insist on placing their DI in front of your pedals. Resist this as you lose all your effects in the FOH this way.

I love my many pedals Polytune 2, Bass Boost Chorus, VT, MXR M87 etc etc BUT my Bass Fly Rig is SO TINY, fits in my gig bag pocket and does it all.
