  1. @terryj im afraid I've never got on with Stingray type basses so Ill give it a miss but thanks for asking.
  2. I used to work with an aussie who just called everyone by the C word. "Hey, do you c**ts want to come to the pub. Im meeting a bunch of c**it's to watch some c**t sing some old s**t" Translation- "Would you gentlemen care to join me at the hostelry to spend time with my family and I as we enjoy a fine singer performing the classics?"
  3. Butane Skies Shutterspeed Crooked Snout Wisdom Teeth Frances (session bassist for solo singer) Butane Skies is the only one with material released. They're doing really well playing festivals and moving up the stages. Shutterspeed are getting really good support slots and Crooked Snout are headlining the second stage at a punk day festival.
  4. Looks like they're doing well. I know The Lanes in Brizzle is a decent venue. My daughter is off on tour next spring but I've no idea where or even with which band! I think its her shoegaze band at uni but could be the grunge band.
  5. Also slang for the lady garden. Not a word I'd choose to use myself.
  6. Thats proper good. Definite 90's although rock feel to it. Are they gigging? What part of the country?
  7. Im not sure but it had a lot of miles on the clock and too many previous keepers
  8. Mudhoney just went for it anyway and its a classic.
  9. That's very nice. If my P bass sells before this Ill be interested
  10. As a biker, the same goes for motorbikes. They are machines, they may have some character but they do not need a name. I used to be in a Jaguar car owners group. One lady referred to her Jag as her growler. I suggested she might want to look up what growler can also mean. She never called it that again.
  11. Not at the moment. Ive recently joined a alt rock band in Langport. We're writing and recording at the moment. Gigs later in the year hopefully. I was in a doom metal band in Devon before. My oldest daughter plays bass for Butane Skies, they're playing in Frome (and everywhere else) pretty regularly.
  12. Nissan Juke drivers. What's wrong with them? Why are they all such terrible drivers with no awareness of what's going on around them? If Im on my motorbike, I will always be extremely cautious around them and expect the worst of them.
  13. Electric mountain bikes are fine, as long as they're proper pedal assist ones. ive got one and you still put a lot of effort in but go further and faster. Unfortunately they also attract people to the sport who haven't bothered to learn any technical skills.
  14. A very specific one. The electric mountain bike club who yesterday passed me twice while I was riding my non electric bike up hill and then hold me up at walking pace on a downhill trail where I should have been enjoying the reward of the uphill slog by enjoying the high speed jumps, drops, twisties and rocks.
  15. Thanks for the replies. For £16 I may as well try the behrinnger. If there is a little noise, it'll be hidden when I add distortion and put it in a metal mix.
  16. For a recording project, I want to split my signal so I can record the signal direct out of my bass and route it through an amp to take a dirty signal as well. It looks like a direct box should do the job but they range from £16 for a cheap Behringer to ten times that for a fancy one. Considering, I don't want it to process or alter the signal in anyway, is there any advantage to using an expensive one over a Behringer?
  17. What a hero.
  18. That reminds me, I need another 2x10
  19. Why did you include a quote of my post? I don't see the connection.
  20. While were on it, anyone else's kids at school concerts. They're all rubbish and wasting everyone's time.
  21. If he's 20 but with a face relic'd to look 70 with a file and screwdriver then I may accept that his guitar is acceptable.
  22. If I see a relicd guitar or bass on stage, im not hanging around to hear the band. If I see a video thumbnail with thumb about to slap string, im not clicking on it. I don't like bass solos. If I see a fish sticker on the back of a car, I will expect the driver to be incompetent. If anyone calls their kids "dude" or "guys" then their children should be immediately taken in to care and the parent should be put in solitary confinement in Broadmoor.
  23. Hi. Are you in a local band that I'd know of?
