+1 on this, finding nice people to play with is more than half the battle IMO. Having said that I quite like his voice, kinda suits the style of music?

anyway, really enjoyed the songs, good playing. Have never really spent much time listening to this kind of music but good stuff

Right,

taking the advice of people on here and elsewhere I have altered a few bits on This isn't going well. I've also taken the liberty of adding a couple of other songs which are finished (ish).

All advice, comments, thoughts, musings, abuse etc are welcome

Thanks, Rob

Hiya,

look forward to the wealth of your experience!

Hiya

welcome. It is a fun place to spend time and learn stuff

any chance of some sound clips?

like it.

not really my thing but yep, sounds good to these ears

only 3 basses and 2 combos.

I obviously haven't lived!

I think I saw one of these last night at Sumo in Leicester last night. Unfortunately didn't catch the name of the band or get to speak to the bassist/guitarist after the gig (was a bit worse for wear).

Some songs he seemed to be playing bass lines on the bottom 2 strings and in other songs he played guitar solos on the top 4.

Thanks very much! yep had a great time. I meet the rest of the band in a couple of weeks.

Hope something turns up for you soon.

Hiya,

You're right, this is a great place to spend time. Welcome.

Yep similar position here. Left a band back in the summer and haven't been able to find people to work with on anything original.

Got asked by a friend of a friend to start working on some soul/pop covers for a brithday party gig and have got a first jam/rehearsal tonight. Not really what I want to be playing but excited to be playing with a band again.

+1 on Schecters and Corts.

I'm biased but I love Schecters. The ones I've played (both 4's and 5's) have been well made with a strong modern tone. There are plenty of woody finishes available too.

yum

love it, something different.

Didn't we have a thread on how playing music live should be visual for the audience?

I've played a couple of these and think they are great IMHO. I'm reasonably happy bass-wise at the moment, or I'd be all over this.

yep bass is panned right and guitar is panned left. It seemed to help with hearing both more clearly. I think..... maybe

anyway, thanks for having a listen

Evening all,

Attached (hopefully) is an MP3 of my first attempt at writing a song alone then recording all the parts (apart from the lead guitar part). Recorded at home using an M-audio alpha and Cubase. Quite proud that I managed to record anything at all.

Let me know what you think, all helpful criticism welcome particularly on recording technique.

Rob

sounds great, good luck with it.

Hi KiYap,

sorry I don't have answers to any of your questions but welcome anyway!

Rob

I like schecter basses (IMHO). I've played a few and have a Diamond series C-4 (came stock with EMZ HZ pickups) at the moment as one of my main basses. Fit and finish on all the Schecters I've played have been good. Comfortable to play and balance really well (longish top horn and off centre tail pin).

love these guys.

Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers for me at the minute

er.... hi

Went to see a band called Kong (myspace.com/kongdom). Had a very distinctive look of all red with wierd doll/plastic surgery latex masks. pretty cool noise band. Not sure how this contributes to the discussion but they had changed into civvies once they came to the bar for a drink.

For me it was pretty much all of RATM's first album, particularly Know your enemy. I'm still hugely influenced by Timmy C's bass playing and sounds.
