I built a Quik-Lok Desk from a Quik-Lok frame then various shelves and rack frames fitted onto it. It's 'modular' spec it yourself studio desk/rackware.

I think my cock's too big for this job.

DUPLICATE THREAD

I normally set up on the right side of the stage as viewed from the stage with, yes, the chance of headstock cymbal interface problems. We're a 5 piece: Singer in the middle Guitarist to his left. Keyboards to his right. Me behind the keyboards and beside the drums. I'd prefer the other side but as 'they' want those 3 across the front of the stage I am forced to lurk in the shadows and the guitarist gets his side of the stage so he doesn't encroach on the singer's arm flailing with his guitar neck. I normally have no space and no monitor...but often find myself closest to the dressing room.

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1341320056' post='1716911'] Is it possible to identify the actual model of a Fender bass from its serial number? [/quote] No Fender serials were issued by builders picking neckplates out of a parts bin. No record (AFAIK) was maintained of which models those were fitted to.

I have 6 of them. Can't stand Rush though.

Since Spotify added links to buy the music our record Co has at last allowed our stuff onto Spotify. Bizarrely we seem to have 2 listings with different albums in each listing. I am curious as to how the 'Artist Radio' selects which artists are played to the listener. This afternoon I have been testing this by playing Sad Lovers & Giants Artist Radio to see who Spotify line up. So far I've heard Danse Society /Red Lorry Yellow Lorry/ Section25/ MyDad is Dead / Eleven Pond / The Names These are not normally bands that we or our fans associate with our sound. How does Spotify decide what to stream? I always thought that it would be bands from the same genre with a similar sound. Which bands play when you listen to your own 'Artist Radio' ?

[quote name='squire5' timestamp='1340967224' post='1712111'] To me,cramp is always associated with pain.There is no pain at all. [/quote] Cramp does not mean 'pain'. Cramp is merely the muscle contracting and not being able to be controlled. I often get my hand cramping with fingers pointing in wrong directions and am unable to straighten them....I also find that the little finger side of my palm, on the edge, will twist up too. There is no pain but it is cramp. Rubbing the forearm (it is generally muscles in the forearm that are cramping and this is manifesting itself through the immobility of the fingers) normally relieves it. I also have other problems with my right hand as for several years now I have been numb from the tip of my ring and little finger, all alonmg the back of my forearm to my elbow. This has reduced the grip strength in my right hand so much that I can no longer play with a pick! This was caused by nerve damage in my neck due to a slipped disc.

Cramp It happens to me often

This is my own page where I post demos I have made before the band get hold of them (although vocals are normally by Garce - the band's singer) : [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/sadloversandgiantsiangibson"]http://www.reverbnat...giantsiangibson[/url] and this is the band's page: [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/sadloversandgiants"]http://www.reverbnat...loversandgiants[/url] and this is our singer's page: [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/sadloversgiantsgarce"]http://www.reverbnation.com/sadloversgiantsgarce[/url]

After listening to some criticism on other forums I have remixed In Ruins [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_13629897"]http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_13629897[/url]

Playing finger style is much like making love to a beautiful woman. Stroke the strings, tickle the strings, pretend the strings are the magic button. A sensitive touch goes a long way.

Depends who made it

Last Sunday we played a 'gig' in our rehearsal room: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrCiv44_n8M[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld2kPIlArU0[/media] among others...

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1340364577' post='1703325'] I guess there are two debates going on here... 1. Is obtaining a copyrighted product without paying for it an illegal act? Well yes it is, if the copyright holder has made clear it's a commercial product: be it a piece of music, software, a book, the plans for a nuclear reactor, or whatever. 2. Can anything be done to stop the illegal sharing of copyrighted music? No, not really. Files can be encrypted, but hackers will eventually develop a workaround. Websites can be shut down, but that just drives traffic to other sites. It's a losing battle. [/quote] and a third: 3. Is illegal distribution really really such a bad thing or an opportunity for free marketing?

Currently bedding in a set of d'Addario XL chromes 45-100 on the new P. I thought I'd try them after reading all the good reports on here. I find that they are a bit twangy compared to the EBGroup3 flats that I have used for years on my other basses. [quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1340281842' post='1702202'] Anyone have any flats for sale pm me! [/quote] I have a set of d'Addario XL Chromes 50-105 that I initially fitted to the new P but the 105 would've needed too much nut work so shortly after stringing I pulled them off and they've never really been played - £20 posted

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1340215429' post='1701262'] if you wish to attempt to make a living as a musician and the possibility of income from recordings is (hypothetically) denied to you then, [/quote] How would income from recordings be denied to you? If someone distributes files for free they expose your work to far more potential customers than you might otherwise have had. If only 10% of them go on to buy a recording from you then that's income you would never have had in the first place. It's is free marketing. There would come a point at which this kind of exposure ceases to be beneficial - when one becomes a household name. Chances are at that point there would be more than enough legitimate income anyway. Those that then get your stuff for free probably wouldn't have paid for it if the free stuff wasn't available anyway. So who loses?
