once again guys, he's not being entirely serious, but probably making the quite valid point that with a pick you usually get a crisper sound (more attack) although I've heard finger players sound like they're using a pick and pick players sound like they're using fingers, Macca springs to mind on that one

I've done this on my Squier Jazz, there's plenty of wiring diagrams on the net, I got a push pull volume control off ebay, just about went in the cavity, I've found it very useful, gives my Jazz more of a P sound although only one volume control works for both pickups, which I'm assuming is what Hellzero is talking about

Although I like a few of the Big O's records, and he had a great voice, I thought he was an awful live performer, no movement, no interaction with the audience, completely lacking in any personality, (from the clips I've seen) why would you want to go to see a hologram of him is beyond me

think the guy just enjoys sending himself up, quite refreshing, there's enough pretentious Richards about

just taking the pis out of all these 'it's all in the fingers' theorists, good for him, I presume he plays with a pick?

our singers just started using them, just a cheap system from gear4music https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Wireless-In-Ear-Monitor-System-by-Gear4music/OUE it work surprisingly well, when he can keep them in his ears! he has a real problem with in ear buds they fall out when he's jumping around like a lunatic and sweating like a pig, I'd say if your singer can keep in ear phones in (I never have a problem, if fact they hurt if I catch the cable and pull them out) it might be a cheap way of trying them out

I think it would need something a little more radical than that to get me playing properly

wish you lot would stop going on about MIM P's, they don't do cack handed ones, bastards.

I wouldn't be happy either, turn the cab round and stick the amp on the handle side, or get an Elf

yes, it's always surprising how mistakes seem to really stand out when they happen, but nobody else seems to notice them them

someone turns up with a song, we play it, suggestions come in, then we record it so we can remember what we all agreed on the time before for someone to change the arrangement without discussing it with the others sounds like a recipe for a bun fight to me, "what the fcuk are you doing? we didn't fcuking play it like that last week" sort of thing

I not sure if this questions been asked (5 pages in) but why doesn't the drummer use a 'proper kit' sounds like he's trying to get the same vibe from an electronic kit as an acoustic one, sometimes people can't see the wood for the trees

bloody hell, that's why I can't see them

I don't do subtle , no shame in cutting down on mistakes

I got a roll of luminous tape off ebay, very handy for dark stages

I believe The Jam's 'Modern World' had 'Don't Give a Damn' on the single version, to be honest it's far better to do that than have the bleep put in by radio stations, as in the case of American Idiot by Green Day, I always avoid swear words when writing lyrics, always sounds rather childish when I try and put them in

this one? does seem to start rolling off early, if you boosted 100hz with the PEQ would this compensate for this?

on the B3 PEQ there are two sweepable EQ's per effect so it would be possible to do 6 PEQ effects, completely over the top though, I think the law of diminishing returns kicks

A Zoom B1on is a cheap way to stick your toe in the water, under £50, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zoom-B1on-Bass-Effects-Pedal/dp/B00JLEHMG6 the same sims as its big brothers (the B3 and MS60B), trickier to adjust and a plastic case (though I've been using one at gigs for 2 years with no problems) I use the M comp with everything set in the middle, and there's all the other goodies on there as well, at the price it's unbeatable

that got really boring after about 45 secs, incidentally I see he's playing drums right handed, Ringo must have taught him

I've noticed this, but why would you want to take them off and put them back on again? with any regularity anyway. Don't most strings wear where they rub the frets? I've always assumed that's why new strings rattle more

to be fair, when ever I've bought them through ebay they've always put the value at less than $10 so I've always been ok, this time I bought them direct to get the heavy set, still waiting for the package so I'm assuming they didn't do it this time, same firm though, bassstringsonline

where from, the UK? I've seen them for that price and a bit cheaper from the USA, depends on string thickness, colour etc. but there's always the risk of customs duty, the last set cost me £30 (wanted to try a heavy set 50-110) plus £13 duty and Post Office charges, first time it's happened though

this is true, but it's the same elixirs and any coated string I guess, doesn't effect the tone though, the coating keeps the finger sweat and dead skin out of the strings, which obviously isn't a problem at the pick end of things

fixed, I think they're ok, IMO, you're right about them looking cool though. for punk anyway, I've been using them for about 5 years, they're about right for me, I get a lot more comments about the colour of my strings than my playing
