Wishing you all the best with this. Seems like a few bands lost quite a bit of gear in the floods.

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1450990784' post='2937757'] I'm just compelled to do it. I love listening to those bands and feel inspired and creative when I do. That's as far as my analysis goes. [/quote] Best of luck to you. Let us know how you get on

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1450880198' post='2936650'] That bassist you're sacking, is he a Beatles obsessive who likes asking essay questions? [/quote] does he happen to be single? 😉

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1450813212' post='2936151'] my mother was a char [/quote] Pardon my ignorance but what is a char? I wonder if this question gives away my class.

What style of music are you writing? How often do you rehearse/write together? How reliable/punctual are you? Do any of you work shifts, evenings or weekends? As mentioned above, how much you believe the answers is key.

I'm trying to put together a bass, drums vox band at the moment. Working hard on variety of sounds with a limited palette. In studio, I'd suggest boosting mids as mentioned above.

Some alternative percussion options discussed in this [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/167764-alternatives-to-drums-as-percussion-in-a-band-setting/page__st__60__p__2647305__hl__alternatives%20to%20drums__fromsearch__1#entry2647305"]thread[/url].

[/quote] I use one of these for a small cabinet and it works great at pointing the speakers mote towards ear level. Not sure about the weight of a 4x10

Last in the chain here too because I use it as a DI.

The Zoom B3 gets lots of love. Might be worth checking out.

Great to hear. All the best.

Sounds interesting. I'll check it out.

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1440269350' post='2849531'] but the side project sounds just like the Black Keys. [/quote] I see, will have a listen. Thanks

Sang lead vox in my last band, backing in every other band I've played in. Go for it, plenty of practice.

Yes I really like his work. What's the new band like?

[quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1439884781' post='2846397'] Rage, then Audioslave, then NightwatchMan, then Axis of Justice, finally Street Sweeper Social Club .... all facets. [/quote] This, there are a different sides to his work. Personally I'd recommend Ratm's first album as a starting point.

Some discussion about them here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/262922-lifting-your-bass-cab-off-the-floor/page__fromsearch__1 Sorry, just realised this is about guitar amps rather than bass amps.

Looking forward to it.

I was just thinking about a floor tuner. Hmm.

Hiya, I'm a late 20's male bass player/vocalist/songwriter. New to Nottingham and looking to play some music. Own gear and transport, based in the city centre. Experience of gigging and some studio and home recording. Most of my influences are rock/alt QOTSA, DFA 1979, BRMC, Nirvana etc Drop me a message if you're looking for a bass player or wanting to start something.

[quote name='Maude' timestamp='1426422265' post='2717842'] You already have the subject matter for your first song, a tale of wanting to make a statement to the world but having nothing to say........ [/quote] Like this? Tim Minchin's Rock and Roll Nerd [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP9pnSXhibw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=XP9pnSXhibw[/url]

I'll sometimes write short surreal/horror stories and set them to music. For example I once wrote a song about an icecream van that sold animals frozen on sticks instead of icecream.

Nothing really to add but yes,I'm enjoying them at the moment too. Hope to see them play at Handmade Festival in a couple of months

Can't see how taking good care of yourself could hurt your playing. Let us know hoe you get on?

A woman once walked onto the stage mid song to tell our guitarist to turn around. Later my girlfriend went to the toilet and saw the same woman sitting in a cubicle with the door open.
