    Right, here's the rub with drummers in London. 1) you need a place big enough to store a kit, or at least a practice kit - not easy in London unless you're minted or live with parents 2) You sort of need transport - very expensive in London. 3) They need to have practised a fair bit to be half decent - see point 1 4) Lesson are very expensive for someone hoping to take up the drums in London - at least £20 an hour. 5) with the shortage of drummers in London, there'll always be a band asking them to join, so hence the non-reliable / I wanna leave the band attitude. So you see, the odds ain't really stacked in your favour there.

    [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1359029076' post='1948624'] What happens if you turn up to play and not all your 20 fans turn up? What if you get 10. Do you not play? This happened to the lad's band in a venue in London, they played, nothing came of it.[/quote] See my previous post.

    Treat it as a free half hour rehearsal. Don't tell your mates if you don't want to and just turn up, do the gig and leave. If they ask you where your 20 mates are, tell them they're round your house giving your mother a seeing to.

    I had my photo taken with REM once. That's me in corner.

    [quote name='Musky' timestamp='1358022360' post='1932096'] As usual with these sort of things they simply ask people at the door who they've come to see. Barnet, who runs the night, is one of the good guys and doesn't turn over bands for a quick profit. [/quote] Exactly right on both counts. They go out of their way to be fair to the bands and not act like complete arses when it comes to giving bands a fair deal. Thanks for the interest so far.

    Any mod / indie / guitar type band wanna gig in London next Saturday 19th January let me know. A promoter mate of mine does a night down the 12 Bar in Denmark Street and they need a band to support Chris Pope from The Chords' band. You'll get 40% of the door money that you generate, the backline is provided *just drummer needs to bring breakables and you bring guitars*. If its a good night you'll get a bit more cash your way too. They're specifically looking for Indie / Mod type bands, so Jazz, Metal, funk etc. probably won't cut the mustard to be honest. PM me if your band is interested.

    I've been working on this song in my home studio for the past few days. Its a cover of Vinnie Stigma of Agnostic Front's song "Hard Living". I'd like some advice on the mix please: [url="https://soundcloud.com/london-diehards/hard-livin-latest"]Text Mix - Hard Livin'[/url] I'm still not 100% happy with the bass sound, I'd rather have a much more ballsier valve, slightly overdriven sound but just can't seem to get it with my valve Trace Elliot combo. The bass is a mix of DI and mic'd cap (Shure SM57). Any input gratefully received.

    His name was Paul Power belive it or not (same as the old Man City captain). Really good bass player too, could sight read anything and played double bass in orchestras too. He still does a bit now and uses an old Wal bass. Only problem is he's an Arsenal fan

    Any suggestions for the best replacement pickups for a P bass for playing Punk / metal / hardcore stuff ? I have a budget of around £80. I have tried the Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage Ceramic pickups on an old P bass which really sounded nice but wanted to know if there was any other opinions out there.

    Fella how drinks in my local was once the bass player for The Boogie Brothers who were in the 1980s one of the first Blues Brothers tribute bands. He was gigging regularly to packed out venues. He left them a good while back now but really enjoyed his time with them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07NlFovY4GU

    I'm selling my Traben Chaos Core 5 String as I'm playing more guitar these days and already have two Traben John Moyer basses so grab a bargain. I got this imported from the U.S. at some considerable cost and have not been disappointed with it at all. I've recorded two albums with it and the Aguilar OBP-3 pre-amp really sounds great for rock, hardcore, metal and punk. The heavy bridge really gives it a big sound and the Rockfield pickups really sound great (why they've never made replacement bass pickups in this range is beyond me). The 5 string neck is wide and flat yet really comfortable. Its set up nicely and its never let me down. Specs are: [b]BRIDGE[/b] chaos internal bridge [b]SCALE[/b] 35" [b]NECK CONSTRUCTION[/b] bolt on [b]PICKUPS[/b] two rockfield® humbuckers [b]ELECTRONICS[/b] Aguilar OBP-3 pre-amp [b]CONTROLS[/b] three-band eq with volume and five-way switch [b]BODY[/b] Royal Paulonia [b]TOP[/b] burled maple or quilt maple [b]FRETBOARD[/b] Rosewood [b]NUT[/b] synthetic I don't have any pics at the moment, but to give you an idea of what it looks like: Not really interested in trades but would consider an good Explorer type guitar (not Epiphone!) Postage will be around £25.00 or you can pick it up from North London. Doesn't come with a gig-bag or case but I'll pack it well if posted.

    I like the look of these but I don't know how Rickenbacker haven't come down on them like a ton of bricks.

    Really can't see the point of this bass. The headstock reminds me of a cross between the new SX range and the only Peavey headstocks. For that money I'd want something a bit special, not some re-hashed Fender copy with a moody headstock.
  22. WHUFC BASS
    Nothing whatsoever. Go in clean and eq on amp. Just some new zingy DR strings and whack up the gain on the amp.

    May possibly have this position covered now chaps so thanks for all your interest !

    I would normally post this in the bass players wanted section but we're desperate at the moment so here goes . We've got a gig coming up in the Czech Republic at the end of the month (27th October) and its turned out our bass player can't do it due to work commitments. I'm trying to find a bass player who is into punk music who can learn 13 songs by the end of the month 27th October (the date of the gig). We did have a bass player who said he could do it, wasted two weeks getting the songs over to him and him learning them, only to ring up last night to say he can't do it. All the other bass players I know are either busy or say they can't learn the songs in time. I do realise its short notice but this is a great gig apparently which will be very well attended. We've got a good following abroad and its a paid gig yet nobody wants to help us out so it would seem. I'm currently stressing out due to a lack of a bass player. Any takers ? It would mean learning 13 songs and doing one - maybe two rehearsals before hand. I realise this is short notice but we wasted time with the other bass player who let us down. The songs are reasonably easy to learn - no complicated runs or flash bits, just solid bog standard 8th notes for the most part. Gear will be provided for the gig but you must have a passport ! PM me if interested.

    GPS for Guitars and Basses by S7 guitars. http://strictly7.com/gps-tracking Not sure why more manufacturers don't start doing this. It'd be nice to turn up on the doorstep of some toe-rag who's stolen your axe and tear him a new one AND retrieve your guitar too.
