I went to an audition for a covers band:- they sent me the set (which had about 100 songs on it) - didn't say which to learn... and when I suggest a few I'd learned (varying styles etc) I was told "Ah we've not done that one for ages" I assume I didn't get it!

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1330955601' post='1565270'] I had the same thing - except I booked with Parcel2go (Still with UPS though). Were meant to collect on Friday but I'm still waiting! Thankfully its being collected from my office. [/quote] Thankfully mine was just collected.

Generic things we've picked up (although this is with metal). - Look confident, move with the music in general - Look at the crowd / look around - Adopt a wider stance than normal (was very odd to me too begin with but actually feel LESS of a pillock than before - Interact with the environment, rest on monitors etc - Interact with the rest of the band, move over to where the guitarist is playing, go rock out with the singer - Know when to blend into the background so that you're not all competing for attention at once - When walking across a stage (assuming your stage IS big enough to walk on) try to walk in time with the music Would love for others to add to this list [/quote] This is a good one. I tend to have a stage persona. Eg - I'm fairly quiet offstage but when I get up there, I just go wild. Also - we as musicians are the paid (normally) entertainment, got to actually entertain! I hate seeing bands just standing on stage. No movement etc - doesnt even look like the guys on stage are happy to be there!

Hmm thought about a custom? SFX would be a good shout.

I like the sound of the IE. May see about that. And a small exp pedal.

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1330782374' post='1562932'] It sounds like a low pass filter after Octave and Fuzz to me, with the range starting from below what even sounds to be audible! [/quote] Would the xenograph do it you think? Or any other suggestion?

I was REALLY hoping you'd say it was rubbish

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330775991' post='1562783'] Not sure I can stomach listening to Muse twice in one week but I'll try and have another listen later... [/quote] Think it's the 3:10 mark. just basic low pass filter i think?

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330735890' post='1562498'] The main riff? Sounds like octave - gated fuzz - wet sounding envelope filter. 'Typical' synth tone as it were. [/quote] Theres a filter sweep in the mid part

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330734281' post='1562484'] What do you want it for? Envelope/Auto Wah duties? There are so many now it's hard to choose. I'm Still very happy with my Groove regulator. The MXR was good if not a little too wet for me. I picked up an old Tone Factor 442 Analogue Filter and that sounds awesome after fuzz! If you want an LPF and the Moog is too big it's got to be the Iron Ether - but Tonally it's TOTALLY different as a resonant filter. [/quote] You heard the muse song uprising? Theres a filter part in that which would work with an idea i have!

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330733691' post='1562475'] Really keen to hear the Dubscope - let me know how you get on!! So many toys, not enough hours... [/quote] Agreed! I wonder how well it will play with the BEF. Any suggestions on filter? The moog was too big!

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330733284' post='1562466'] Totally unacceptable! [/quote] I've got a dubscope on the way, interested in an EQ pedal (thanks to your blog!) and tempted by something to raise the octave.. Need a filter also.. Not sure what to get..

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1330732505' post='1562460'] I've got a Diago Tourman you can take off my hands if you like [/quote] Hah! I 've been down that road before. It was a really heavy road.

My guitarist now has a bigger board than me. This must be changed!

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1330693026' post='1561695'] Yes it does. [/quote] Hahah that smiley is far to suitable!

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1330688684' post='1561546'] Hehe. Currently working on something very purple this very minute. [/quote] There's a joke in here somewhere The thing you're working on - does it have a purple head(stock)?
