    poignant, wall but no band

    I don't think you'll find anybody arguing with you on that one, but which is worse Grandad or Grandma by St Winifred's School Choir?

    I agree unless you buying them for the colour there are better value coated strings about, In my experience the initial tone goes with all strings after a couple of hours playing, but I still find the Neon tone to my liking even after 6 months

    the world is full of songs that are amazingly popular for no apparent reason (to some people), Stairway to Heaven anybody?

    can't say I've noticed any stickiness, but I do play with a pick, must admit my only reason for using them is the neon colours, that doesn't mean I don't like them, but they are expensive
  6. PaulWarning
    you could finish up sounding this though

    same with From the Jam, they got their Paul Weller from a tribute, and very good he is too

    if memory serves me right Dee Dee Ramone played in a Ramones tribute for a while, bizzare

    of course this all very sensible, but if we all agreed to differ on opinion they'd be very few threads left to comment on

    I've got an SMX GP12 and don't use the 'sound management system' much, the valve preamp seems to do absolutely nothing, the preshapes are hopeless for gigging with a band, and the compression doesn't seem to do a lot either (mind you, I do play with a pick and use a bass drive pedal which compresses anyway). Great amps though aren't they? Like I say I do use a bass drive pedal (Zoom B1on) but I have the 30 and 40 Hz sliders right down and the 50Hz one is cut but depends on the room and a little boost at 2.6K depending on the state of my strings and the room

    that's why it's best left to the bass drum
  12. PaulWarning
    yep and me on my Precision, proving the point (I think) that cutting is better than boosting, cut the frequencies you don't want and the ones you do become more prominent

    Well I may be the only one of here by the looks of things, but I enjoy playing Wonderwall on my acoustic at open mics. Simplistic, familiar anthems, now I know why Oasis were so popular

    low D? I don't even like playing low F

    I don't bother about a tone at home, I just plug my bass into my laptop and use headphones because home practice bears no relation to what I need in a band situation, what @skankdelvar says, cut below 100hz, just muddy's the tone, and don't cut the mids, it might sound a bit 'honky' on it's own but live that's what cuts through. I always find it's better to cut rather than boost if you can

    Don't think you should bill yourself as a tribute then, just a Tom Petty covers band, nothing wrong with that it's just that I feel disappointed if a tribute doesn't look the part
  17. PaulWarning
    sort of with you on that, but I think it's the way overly long ending that's the trouble with it, if it faded after 3.30 minutes it would have been ok ish, must have been the drugs. Sting is also guilty of over extending endings as well

    well we played our club gig last night, slow start but finished up ok, people up and dancing, the usual half hour break for bingo and sticky 13's, got the end, the usual "Thank you very much we've been Verbal Warning" get the expected encore shouts, then a first, the MC announces over the PA not the expected "Thank you very much Verbal Warning, do we want another one?", no it was "Alright, who wants another game of Bingo then?" we did an encore anyway, then they had another game of bingo while we were packing away

    probably reached a deal outside ebay

    I've never been close to 'making it' but a guy I used to work with was in a band that got a £100,000 advance from Warner Bros, recorded an album at the Studio in Wales did a couple of years touring with major acts, living the dream, full time musician. Eventually the advance money ran out, the album didn't sell very well and they got dropped, but the best bit of the story is the Manchester Evening News ran a story on their music page with the headline, "Who's going to be the next big thing, The Steamboat Band or Oasis?"

    you could always bugger off to the bar and leave the bass part to the acoustic guitar like it should be
  22. PaulWarning
    thanks for reminding me
  23. PaulWarning
    works though doesn't it? and if it gets more people into their proper stuff do the ends justify the means?

    Fairytale in New York is my favourite Christmas song, because it's not all about what a wonderful time we should be having because it's bloody Christmas bah humbug

    nail on the head there, last Saturday we played a pub, full to start with, a few left at the sound check, some more left at half time to check out the band down the road, the ones that were left gave us a great shout for an encore and came up to us at the end saying what a great band we were. You can't please all the people all of the time, but you can please some of the people all of the time (well very nearly) Edit, we are actually playing a working mens club this weekend, a long break in the middle where they do the raffle and sticky 13's
