[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1509699570' post='3400901'] I'd be careful with weddings, definitely need to be well prepared. I've seen some wedding bands that you think aren't that good but their set list is huuuuuuge. Realistically your wedding band needs to be able to deal with the mother of the bride demanding her favourite Elton John song while the best man wants you to play some iron maiden. It is the biggest day of their lives for the couple and probably their nearest and dearest so I would want to be a slick operation that can pull from a massive range of songs, especially if going for "big" money. It's why my band won't play weddings! [/quote] Yes requests can role in , ideally you manage the clients expectations of what you can do before the day , if your set list is limited that's not a problem if that's agreed up front As in all business , communication is key

My first bass was home made , fretless crude neck 4x2 neck , hamerite painted play body etc Old Pa as amp , then an old 410 Fender guitar amp

I want to hear that tape now

What first attracted me to my wife was her looks , is that bad ? 20 years on she's my best friend and I love her as a person None of us can judge the OPs comment unless they know him and his underlying character.

Like that , I'll Be checking the band out , cheers

Best - setup of my Jazz bass with new dimarzio and kIOgon loom Worst - Fender A/B switch for bass / synth into my rig , awefull buzz on it

[quote name='darkandrew' timestamp='1509298260' post='3397883'] I have wondered what Martin Kemp's bass playing ability is really like. In his autobiography he is quite self deprecating and says that his brother Gary had to show him what to play, yet over the years I've seen Spandau Ballet play a few times and he's never played a note out of place. [/quote] He seems solid to me live , I think he came across quite rightly very humble because his opposite number in the day was John Taylor

Avant-guarde ?

[quote name='thegummy' timestamp='1508751653' post='3394101'] To put round wounds on and with a pickup like a SD Quarter Pound. Not actually sure how much that pickup differs from the pickup in the 50s - rounds are the main reason I want another P. [/quote] I get it I've got a p bass with really old flats on and it sounds amazing , but I can't use it for hardly any gigs

If I was going to play a booked function , I'd say my wife "I've got a gig on Saturday" If I was playing at a mates party or a charity do , I would say "I'm playing mikes party or doing the fundraiser for X" No real reason but it suggests I think a gig is a service I am booked for and a favour or fun session is not a gig It doesn't really matter and if someone wants to call a band playing in thieir own garden a gig , then maybe it is, who cares ?

What does Modern Pbass actually mean ?

Great thanks everyone

Thanks son much , wasn't sure the headstock seems more pointy ?

Adam & the ants 1984 ToTp Can anyone tell me what bass it is

This song went down well in our 80s tribute

I wish more recordings where like this

I'd play / buy one happily and just call it a limelight , my questions more along the lines of aren't Limelight risking a lawsuit or do they have this covered somehow ?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1507672866' post='3387228'] Let's say Limelight isn't forthcoming with the information. And we're derailing this NBD thread! [/quote] Asking about the components of the bass in the OP is discussing the bass in the OP , surely that's not derailing , it's discussing the bass and the builder? I've no doubt limelights are great , never heard or seen anything but positives about them , and I'd like one My only question is how do they end up with a Fender badge on ?

Thanks , so how does it work with applying a fender logo , is that not protected ? Thee bass on this thread and every limelight I've seen looks stunning

I'm not able to teach as I have no musical academical knowledge , but this is a topic that has interested me as I've played with people who know everything about music but have no real ability and the other way around. Can this be taught ? I don't mean improved , but is it something you either have or don't have ?

I keep seeing Limelight basses that look fantastic , but I'm not sure what exactly they are Are they complete new builds or actual fenders which have been worked on ?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1507620587' post='3386750'] Really? Sounds like a niche market to me. [/quote] Yep teenagers in sliders and socks

Yes Modern music evolves and goes in circles , even if it became uncool to play an actual bass for a period , it would soon come round again Heck , socks and saddles are in now

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1507052856' post='3383064'] Fair comment actually, it did sound a bit like one long song lol Wishing you well Lojo, I've just spotted your signature too. Saying 'Hope you feel better soon' just doesn't seem enough knowing the effects of Chemo. I send my warm wishes and huge positive bassy vibes to help kick the Big C right square in the nuts. [/quote] Cheers , I only really say it as I'm on here a lot now with the time on my hands and I know How prone I am to posting stupid stuff I had to play the song a few times to hear the change , perhaps good editing to whoever put it together

Ok silly me , song sounded the same on my phone In my defence I've got Chemo brain today
