How many songs for the next rehearsal is realistic?
Baloney Balderdash replied to Jamesemt's topic in General Discussion
The keyword here is "fine", not "great". Also I assumed by your wording that you actually played together before and knew each other fairly well as musicians, and that this wasn't the 2nd time ever you played together? -
How many songs for the next rehearsal is realistic?
Baloney Balderdash replied to Jamesemt's topic in General Discussion
They will if they have been rehearsed properly by everyone (that is everyone actually getting the time needed to learn their individual parts properly) and the band is taking the time to make them work together as a band. Also the band needs to get each other to know as musicians and how to play together as a band properly if this is going to be a serious and longer lasting endeavour. Rushing through 10 song, only haven been given time to learn the individual parts needed haphazradly, on the 2nd band rehearsal ever is not the right answer, as far as I am concerned. -
How many songs for the next rehearsal is realistic?
Baloney Balderdash replied to Jamesemt's topic in General Discussion
3 seems sensible and realistic to learn in a week if you are supposed to be able to play them properly and have proper time to work on them together, make them work as a band, at rehearsal. And most certainly if you got a full time work and family to take care of on the sideline. 10 is way too much on any level that can be taken serious, both when it comes to the individual band members learning their individual parts in just one week but also when it comes to playing through the songs together for the first time, making them work as a band, in one rehearsal session. The persons in this thread who ask whether the vocalist is actually going to practice the songs, memorize all the lyrics, and sing them spot on, or if he is just going to show up with the lyrics printed and wing 10 songs he already know, reading the lyrics as he signs and as he remembers the songs from previous casual listening, certainly put things in perspective. If you all intend for this band to work properly and stick together for a longer period of time, without constantly firing and hiring new people that never stay long enough to learn each other well enough as musicians to play properly together, and to the point where there are no original members left in a year, you all need to agree on a tempo and form you are all happy and can agree with, and not least will actually realistically work in order to get anywhere. -

Strange occurance on HB bass.Now needing shim.
Baloney Balderdash replied to squire5's topic in Repairs and Technical
Unrelated, afraid I can't help you with your issue, but a credit card thick relief is a lot, it ought to be closer to just a business card thick relief. -
Hohner Arbor Series P bass (warning: plywood content)
Baloney Balderdash replied to lonestar's topic in Repairs and Technical
Uninstall the pickguard and every thing mounted to it, clean the surface on each side of the crack with some ethanol, then glue it together with thin super glue (you'd only want a thin layer just covering the surface on one side of the crack, and be careful to put it right together the first time), pressing the surfaces together for a minute or so before leaving it to letting it cure for 24 hours on a flat surface (yes super glue cures in a matter of a few minutes but it takes up to 24 hours to bind fully at maximum strength). -
Well, who saw a Stylophone Theremin coming?
Baloney Balderdash replied to Woodinblack's topic in Other Instruments
I need one of these! Indeed a very manageable price. About the same price as a lower mid priced effect pedal. -
Anyone in your band ask about your influences?
Baloney Balderdash replied to oldslapper's topic in General Discussion
I would dare claim that being inspired musically by someone's playing in general, without necessarily having a direct influence on how you play your instrument, is still an influence. The other way around though isn't necessarily true. So while not being 1:1 related, they are definitely still related, and not completely different questions. -
Anyone in your band ask about your influences?
Baloney Balderdash replied to oldslapper's topic in General Discussion
As someone who ever only played in original bands/projects this is my experience too. Also people I have played with have always been into music to an extend that they actually knew who the band members, including the bass player, was in the bands they'd listen to, and actually did care for bass too. And suggesting/introducing new artists to each other has been part of the regular conversation band members between. -

Baloney Balderdash replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Effects
Thank for clarifying that. Also I am bit confused why the USB dongle would go into the power supply, isn't it supposed to sit in the USB plug of the Zoom? So you can't just use an USB cable going from the USB port in the M-Vave to the USB port of the Zoom? -

Thanks a lot, this is great. Makes the Zoom multi stomp so much more useful. Can you scroll both up and down the patches though, or only forward?

How does that work, controlling the Zoom with that footswitch? You just plug it into the USB port and it works, or how? I got an Zoom MS-CDR70 that I would love being able to swap patches on up and down. -

Baloney Balderdash replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
This is a pretty cool alternative/indie/noise rock band from Mexico that I just discovered. Would have loved it when I was a teenager, back in the 90's, where I played bass in a band that did something quite similar to this. -
A bigger cab with more speakers or a bigger speaker might be the solution, as that will move more air and therefor sound louder. If getting a bigger amp I would suggest a 500W one, as, as I already mentioned, a 300W amp is only going to be about 1.5dB louder.

Sandberg TM4 - Pick up change?
Baloney Balderdash replied to Stofferson's topic in Repairs and Technical
You can, but EMG pickups are generally known for being pretty Hi-Fi sounding as well. -
Do you subscribe to any Bass magazines?
Baloney Balderdash replied to MikeTheMisfit's topic in General Discussion
Yes, all people can be put into two, and only two, categories: Us or Them ! They are the worst kind of people, obviously, whereas We are the sensible good people. -

Nope, but I do every once in a while check out various online magazines, like this for instance: https://www.notreble.com/ -
