Nancy Boy = Placebo An under appreciated band with some great bass lines

Knives - Therapy?

Ainsley Harriet advises you to give your meat a good old rub - Raised By Owls

Violent pornography - System Of A Down

They're definitely learning that a big PA is very different to a club PA and it shows up things that just weren't a problem before like the occasional string touching a pickup is barely audible on a small PA but its like a punch in the face on a big PA. Fortunately, they're quite mature for teenagers and learning quickly and keen to adapt. They played another festival today and went down really well, the organisers want them back next year.

She has got a 5 but generally just uses her Fender MIM Jazz 4 string. This issue has become more noticeable since they've started playing bigger stages with big subs in the PA. Its not an issue in smaller venues, the bass cuts through nicely there.

Thanks for all the tips. The keyboard player and bass are going to work on both their arrangements and tones to give each other more space and work together better.

We're in need of some advice. My daughter is in a band where she plays bass and they also have keys, guitar, vocals and drums. The recordings work really well and everything comes through nicely but live, the bass quite often gets lost and im wondering whether sound techs are struggling to differentiate between the low end of the keys and the bass. Are there any tips to make them work together live reliably and make it easy for the sound tech? Here's an example of one of their songs for reference.

South of heaven - Slayer

Little fluffy clouds - The Orb

This is a sad one. Just like with Lemmy, I knew it would happen soon but still kind of didn't expect it. Ozzy and Sabbath meant so much to heavy metal. Without them, the music i love wouldn't exist. They must be one of the most influential bands of all time. Today I'll be listening to a lot of Black Sabbath. Starting with my favourite song, Supernaut

It does indeed have a tone pump. I'll give that a try.

I'm loving the Euro 4 LX but struggling to get the best out of it with the band. We're playing alt rock, inspired by Teenage Fanclub so fairly chilled out. I'm running straight in to an Ashdown ABM 600 but having to cut the high mids and treble and play with quite a light touch to tone stop it sounding too aggressive. Any tips for getting a bit of character back in my tone while sounding good with relatively clean guitars?

Sunburn - Muse

Do you think people who only have fretted basses might see the title of this thread and think "well that's not for me, I'll move on" and then give you a result which is quite inaccurate?

The offspring and her band have been in t'studio. I can't believe this was written by 17 year old kids. https://on.soundcloud.com/V37Y0fuSwYXSnst9Kv The cover artwork was by the singer/guitarist. Not the AI art that seems to be standard now

Holy cow, £30 for a little bit of moulded plastic

That's the one. Thanks

I'm looking for a thumb rest that shares the pick guard screw holes. I know they exist, I've seen them but now I can't find them for sale. Anyone got a link to them?

You get a lot for your money with Peavey, mostly because everyone has forgotten that they exist and don't look for them.

New music by post rock band, We Lost The Sea. Brilliant new album.

Next Glastonbury will be Coldplay playing 12 sets each day on each of the 5 main stages.

I watched GB News once out of curiosity. It was exhausting keeping up with the outrage and depressing listening to them talk about how terrible life in Britain is (and they claim to be patriotic!) And then they got in to talking about how handsome and wonderful their mate Nigel is. They're politically unbiased you know? They said so many times and they wouldn't lie would they?

Maybe it's time for Channel 4 to take it on again. I think there's too much political influence in the BBC for it to work with them.

The BBC have said in a statement that they won't broadcast "high risk" bands in the future. So that'll be no interesting bands then. Maybe it's time for the BBC to let another broadcaster take it on, one who won't choose which lyrics might be too upsetting for us.
