One of the jobbing pro musicians I spoke to in the last few years went on tour with a formally successful rock front mans new project, he told me he did quite well as the crowd peppered them with coins that he collected from round his drum kit.

I've always thought unless your doing some fairly big gigs with established artists that an average pro musician is a similar life to that of a tradesman , no promises , no sick pay etc.

You don't have to be in any band you don't want to be in, only thing I think is that if anyone leaves a band it should be done in such a way that you honour any commitments that you agreed when they where booked or make sure a new player is in place.

Congrats , that looks like a labour of love , nice one Now all you need to do is puncture your drivers

My issue or endless chase is not so much as to what bass covers all the basses, its that you can only have flats or rounds (please don't mention 1/2 rounds )

[/quote] Add to that he most likely can play the chords, the baseline and sing it live as good as the recording all at once

I though DK requested strings in thanks for his free videos , he must have loads of em

Pretty good

My p bass volume is really a mute control

I guess it's possible to get Alright now, highway to hell and honky tonk woman on a set list

Nice one

Sadly I don't have any pictures of the first 2 basses I had

Nice to see a thread about simply enjoying life , best wishes for the future

Never sounds right in E IMO

Where's Ashes ? If you emulate some of the Mark Plati live versions , the line is great fun Hope to see you live one day

Orange - no contest but Mark bass is lighter

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1422183904' post='2669496'] Radio 2 has become ( amongst other stations) so bland and mainstream that anyone who comes along and has some passion seems like a breath of fresh air. When I say "mainstream" I know it is national radio but Ken Bruce joshing Sally about the travel is hardly gripping listening.. [/quote] I know what you mean , but I like the routine of 2 during the day , easy to follow during work, pop master and vine etc As the thread title , Craig Charles is a great Dj , I play his compilations on spotify. He started out on I'm a celeb (watched it with my kids) but left through a death in the family, seemed like a really genuinely nice bloke

Just had a scan through, will play some in full later, some genres hit my taste, but there's also some unique invention , enjoyable

Spotify is like getting your first dishwasher , until you've lived with it you'll not know how much you'll love it.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1422042365' post='2668212'] Amazing how much faith people seem to be putting into streaming services. I'll always be able to listen to the music I have on vinyl and CD as long as I have something to play them on. If my favourite artist decides to pull their music from Spotify then it's gone and you want to be able to listen to it again. If you haven't downloaded the tracks using one of the paid for accounts then you are totally dependent upon having a network connection to be able to listen. Also Spotify won't be around forever. Something better/different will come along and then you'll have to start all over again building up your playlists/collections. [/quote] Im not sure there is much faith required, if streaming stopped tomorrow, Id move on to the next thing or go and buy some CDs next few months on spotify are 99p as I opened a new account from my wife's Facebook

Got it , was over complicating it

Found this on a google search whilst looking for clips, really struggling to get the muting right on the consistent D's , can certainly play it well enough to gig, but it's one of those parts I really want to get nailed as the record?

Now you've got to down bottle everyday also and still play spot on to pull it off
