samson here , great bit of kit , but it does chew the batteries , probably 6- 8 hrs in the sender , I have a mains adaptor for the reciever. but have gone rechargeable so its not really an issue

I was in Cornwall last month , I even went to see Joe , but it was his day off

I think making them might cost a tad more

sometimes the heightened nervousness / apprehension focuses the senses and enhances the experience , and sometimes you get a tosser , glad it went well . [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1347186426' post='1797717'] We might be doing this with The Terrortones (due to family commitments for our proper drummer) and I'm pretty nervous about it. The drum parts for our songs are pretty much integral to the arrangement and far more than just someone hitting stuff in time. There are also subtle tempo changes stops and starts in the middle of songs, weird bar counts and missing beats all of which will have to be nailed otherwise it's not going to be right. [/quote] good luck on this one , you guys do a show , there is more to a show than meets the eye , you have put a lot into the dynamics which can be very subtle , I hope it works out for you .

[quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1347715088' post='1804278'] Don't agree.. I quite liked the sound... already people sound too much the same. Great playing by the way.. great phrasing and ideas. [/quote] I loved the tone, phrasing , ideas and great playing , for me I find I often tend to listen for the bass , but on this occasion I was struggling to hear anything else . [heresy] if the bass was to come out for parts , great, but it seemed far to prominent in the mix , each to his own though [/heresy] did I really say that !!!!!!

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1347660065' post='1803875'] I think my mileage is most definitely varying on this one. The Missus is watching it and it's driving me mental. Someone get that SR505 off him and thrust a Jazz 5 or summat in his hands. Waaaaaay too forward. [/quote] +1 , I was fine for the first 15min then it just wasn't right , a bit irritating really , fine playing but just toooo much of it IMO

it could just be some railway track cut into pieces and glued to a tree,

I might dib in for a touch of that

I answered an ad from joinmyband about 2 years ago , I did an audition of sorts, but I just kept going back , I still haven't been told if I am in yet , but Have been gigging for 2 years with them and LOVE every minute of it , I still get miffed if we miss a rehaersal date. I guess I was really lucky , but I guess so are the rest of the guys. I had left my previous band because they put 3 new numbers in in 5 years, these boys put 3 in every rehearsal , fantastic.

I played my own birthday party on saturday , well it was at a pub in town , but a top crowd came along and danced the night away , a brilliant night, great fun , re book aswell , happy days .

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1346969604' post='1795619'] For crying out loud!! It's for this It has to be done! [/quote] Well I guess respect is due, but it does seem like a lot of effort just to stick a mic stand up your arse .

I love warwick stuff , and while I grabbed a bargain on a fretless streamer a while back , you do have to be looking for the deal , they are not everywhere , I have a Korean Spector and is my bass of first go to . the margins of manufacture are very very slim nowadays and my ear / palette is not refined enough to tell , and my touchy feely bit doesn't see the label

I love the energy of Blackpool and I think the are Noissetes brilliantly evocative and bring the genre alive .

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1346456212' post='1789608'] With my covers band, our fee is a minimum £200. Some places pay more, depending on bar-sales, but that is the minimum we play for. We usually say we will do the first for £200, then talk business afterwards. The majority of places now pay us more, as we generate the bar-sales - nothing like a couple of hours of classic punk covers to get large 40+ year old blokes out, drinking plenty of beer on a Friday night. [/quote] + me though sometimes some of the guys see the dollar signs a little early for the parties , and while they do pay a bit better they are often the most enjoyable gigs

I knew the weather could do a job on todays events thats why I planned yesterday .........however ........I didn't make it ,due to subsequent engagements cropping up !!!! My sister and BIL went and thoruoghly enjoyed it , so I might have to get it in the diary early for next time !!

Good to see some interest , I will be taking my 12yo daughter, so I think it will be more of an overall experience thing for her , if I get a chance to some of the later stuff I will , but it may depend on interest levels!! I did notice a lot of emphasis on drinking rules on the website , so I guess it has been an issue , still should be fun anyway

[quote name='GT40Graham' timestamp='1345890290' post='1782764'] I was playing a gig on Tuesday night and, never having broken a string in 35 years of bass playing - you know what's coming - I managed to break the E string on my main bass. [/quote] I guess thats a real bummer , but my advice would be to change your strings before they to 35 years old

I am hoping to go to Liverpool for the Mathew Street Festival tomorrow , and was just thinking are there any BCers involved in any of the bands ? It seems to be a big show this weekend and should be fun

It's probably a bit jazz anyway, so the notes don't really matter , as long as the facial expressions look like you meant it , it works

just turn it up , twiddle some knobs and enjoy.............

I use a Sampson airline , I really have difficulty telling any loss of tone , I love it .

I have an ampeg pf500 now a Schroeder 210112L zoom b2.1u and a sampson airline wireless all new around 1K but the pf and schroeder were pre-used once or twice . this is a well slimmed down version of what I used to carry round and it works a treat , granted it doesn't look quite as impressive as 6 foot high stack with lights flashing on the head , but it sounds as good and carries a lot easier .

I think your amp is probably at a sweeter spot with more trons pumping through it , I had a couple of Hi Fi amps that had a function that would restrict the output allowing you to crank up the internals without smashing the windows , the makers reckoned the amp worked more efficiently when working a bit harder .

come up and see me (make me smile) cockney rebel
