A lot also depends what the rest of the band going though, if the pa is decent then you don't need anything big as you will be able to go into that and just use a cab as a monitor, if the pa is not man enough, vocals and drums etc will suffer anyway, so a large rig won't automatically equal a good band sound

these early jamiroquai years were great, used an old 410 trace elliot last night in a rehearsal room, they really are great, just a shame they are so heavy now

I guess you just find a gigging bchatter who lives in hand over distance from you and it goes from there, sure this could be done without posting, we all live close to someone else and a lot of us travel. Id agree to play a song on it with a pic if it found its way over this way ever, sure others would also.

Shake a tail feather, then gradually the whole street joins in

it looks like it should come with a 15w practice amp and a instruction booklet

these things are so subjective, we all want different things at different times, and the dynamics of any group vary so much, and effect us all in different ways. for me though, id not join a covers band who where not already organised and gigging or in the process of doing so, unless it was with people I know or have some common ground with and the being part of it/practicing was a worthwhile fun or social activity within its self, gigs then would only be a bonus. joining in with a group of disorganised strangers does not appeal to me, even if they have good intentions.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1357841695' post='1929437'] I wasn't sure if i should say "Your the one that i want" because i know it's a good bassline in an unlikely place, but i thought most of us would have known that already? [/quote] I think I meant unlikely due to 1. its music the kids are into and 2. Im enjoying the whole album, not just the track you mention.

My daughter keeps playing the Grease soundtrack in the car, and Im quite enjoying some of the baselines .. Life's better when you go with the flow

It's just fun, don't think he is taking himself too seriously either, and bet he can play less notes and impress that way when asked, this just wasn't that time.

welcome to the world of bass guitar Someone who bumped into my wife a few years back joked with her that I was having a midlife crisis due to purchasing a rickenbacker, she replied, if thats all he's going to do he can buy 4 ! Better to take up bass than buy a sports car and get a 20 something girlfriend eh !
