Great.
Now you've got me shopping for Bongos...

Never mind the original question 😄, how do speakers manage to produce all those different sounds all at once?
-
I think I've figured it out. We'll find out on Thursday... at band practice... 😬

So does anyone have a decent transcription for this, in Drop D?
-
Will do... I'm going to get in touch with the seller, as well...😬

Oh, bugger. It appears to be an odd thread, as well. I've tried four slightly longer ones, and although they will wind in a bit by hand, they stop a couple of turns in.

I managed to buy one off Ebay, and got it on the bass but I can't adjust the screw enough to bring the drop tuning up to D? The highest it will go is C sharp.
I've attached links to two photos. The first is in the E position, the second is in the dropped position.

Have I installed it correctly?
Do I just need a longer screw?

Hmmm... anyone got a hipshot drop tuner they want to sell?
-
We haven't got a name, yet...
But we're the racket of pub classics coming out of Studio 1. 😆

We're normally up in Cathedral on Thursdays. Did you nab our spot? 😄

Thanks for that , I’ve seen these but I can’t read the dots u fortunately 🙁
I can't either, but I pause it and then try to work it out from whichever dot I know on the day... lol

Any use?

Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up. 😂

Thank you. That's confirmed my understanding. 😋

I've just bought a very cheap Ibanez SRX 390 on Ebay, and after a little maintenance it's sounding quite nice. It has a battery, and therefore I had assumed it's an active bass. However I've found a 2008 catalogue that suggests that it has "extra powerful PASSIVE full range pickups". It has high and low equalisers, so is the battery just running these?
Link to catalogue:
The reason I'm asking is, our rehearsal room has a Hartke amp, with two inputs - one passive, one active. So which one should I be plugging this bass in to?
Sorry for the silly question, but It's all electrickery to me!

Join my Band has lead to some interesting experiences, for me. I'm sure there's a thread for that...

* Young people in bands tend vocally to reject new or diverging initiatives straight off. Old blokes tend to let it fester then suddenly explode when triggered by an entirely unconnected issue
* Young people gig in skimpy t-shirts and unfeasibly tight trousers. Old blokes gig in waistcoats and Australian bush hats with corks on.
* Young people miss rehearsals because they are (i) off their faces on a lethal cocktail of drugs or (ii) putting the brisket to some sweet young thing. Old blokes miss rehearsals because (i) its their brother-in-law's birthday or (ii) they've got a proctologist's appointment the following week.
* Young people play too loud on cheap, generic gear. Old blokes play too loud on exotic and very expensive gear
* Young people obsess about being friends with their bandmates. Old blokes obsess about suppressing their hatred for their bandmates.* Young people want to make exciting new sounds. Old blokes want to get exactly the tone that Jimmy Page had at the Albert Hall on the evening of 9th Jan 1970.
... and so forth.
So, apart from No. 1, what's the problem?
Just had a message from my drummer tonight. He actually appreciates a song choice I've made...
I had previously been banned from making song choices... there is hope yet.

Mind you, middle-aged blokes in bands have a whole different set of quirks from young people in bands and that's something else you'll have to get used to
I'm 48 and relatively new to this, so what do I need to know?

Would it be a bad idea to do Smack My beach Up, in a pub gig?

I thought I had a problem with 12. But it seems I could do with a few more.

I'm convinced that when stings go dull, it's mostly because of the flat spots that are created in contact with the frets, not the actual accumulation of dirt in the string...
Any fretless people have a view on this?

Nanyo is now set to max treble, and a little bass, and I have plenty of overdrive...
Why couldn't I find that setting with my frantic knob twiddling last night? lol

I like your user name. Can I have it? 😂
