ok so he may have some effects on his bass (not sure on that one) but here's a great example of 3 guys playing where the drums and bass create a groove and space for the guitarist without the need for anything fancy (check out the guitar solo part at 2.00 minutes), Im sure there loads better examples but this one came to mind first! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7DFsBcVMDA"][b]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7DFsBcVMDA[/b][/url]

gotta say i just concentrate on getting in the groove and being as tight as possible with the drummer while the guitarist strokes his pe*is, sorry his ego with the solos. Too many effects just make a mess IMO. Saying that a little compression helps.

ta for that, now watching!

thanks guys, lots of good choices, especially like the primal scream stuff, very dancey yet rocky (just watched the sreamadelica making of as well!) Chilli peppers also tick right boxes. Anyone do rocked up versions of disco numbers? I always fancied some high camp rock up of a) Born to be alive [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UaJAnnipkY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UaJAnnipkY[/url] yoyu make me feel mighty real [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkrKYvJpxcg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkrKYvJpxcg[/url] oooo get her!

just thought of one Lost art of keeping a secret [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l0nzPpvbFs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l0nzPpvbFs[/url]

just watched the making of Aja by Steely Dan on You Tube, now feel strangely humbled and inadequate, don't know why!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH3l4mjh2y8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH3l4mjh2y8[/url]

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1339338359' post='1687007'] What about Jailbird by Primal Scream then? [/quote] thats brilliant - exactly what im after! Thanks

[quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1339336034' post='1686967'] The fact that you think Blockbuster isn`t cheesy precludes me offering any sensible advice. [/quote] ok point taken! Do you have any suggestions then? Gratefully recieved!

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1339344139' post='1687120'] There is a great place in Bournemouth which would be ideal for a bash. Its a rehearsal rooms, very nice and fully equipped. Its also next door to a huge music shop with some great basses. All refreshments on site. I think we need a minimum of about 20 guaranteed from Basschat to make it interesting for them. [/quote] sounds great but last time i checked Bournemouth aint in the South West!

ok so anyone got any actual suggestions then? based possibly from thier own set?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1339250271' post='1685899'] My offer still stands ... [/quote]

loose the slippers dude!

[i]Anyone?[/i]

BTW that lick sounds suspiciously like something Mark King "dreamt up"! (And before anyone kicks off, Im sure the good Mr King would be the first to admit to being inspired by the master himself!)

great lick, weekend sorted thanks!

A revelation! Saints be Praised! After last nights gig, driving home, our solo obsessed axe meister turns to me and said "you know what? Its great when there's loads of girls dancing isn't it? Ive got a great idea (!) Why don't we do more rock stuff that people like to dance to? You know, not cheesy stuff but classic rock with a great groove.?" I roll my eyes and say "thats a great idea" whilst silently offering thanks to our lord Jesus for delivering the 6 string buffon into grace. So, with that in mind, and hopefully after the Otter Ale has worn off and he still thinks the same way, anyone got some ideas? Nothing cheesy please, you know "get it on", "long train running", "play that funky......." yuuurk! I was thinking, to start things off, "sufragette city, blockbuster, slightly less done to death stuff but its gotta groove! Thanks for any ideas guys!

great review, thanks! Im interested to know how using a delay/echo gives you a bigger sound? Does it not get muddy in the mix of your trio? I only ask cos im in a rock trio and have a great BYOC delay but have taken it off my board as I couldnt find a use for it. i'd love to put it back if i could find one!

just had a look on ebay, they are cheap aren't they? I have a Pearl 80s phaser and its analogue heaven! Sounds loads better than myt guitarists MXR. Is the Rocktek 9v battery only or can you power em with a multi plug (ie fueltank)?

Just say that the courier turned up to pick up a guitar not the item listed.

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1339098173' post='1683710'] Isn't it against EBAYs T&Cs to say you are from one country and in another? [/quote] probably, but it didn't seem to cut any ice when i went on the help-chat thing, as far as they were concerned they could see from my email correspondence that I had reluctantly agreed for a courier to pick the damn thing up, it was when i noticed it was to be sent to Hungary, apparently only weighed 30kg and was labeled as a guitar on the UPS printable post notes that i started to feel uncomfortable. None of this, plus the fact that the origional terms were pickup cuts any ice when the auction is over and you have agreed to change terms (apparently). I can see where they are coming from, I agreed to accept a courier and then got cold feet when i saw it was abroad. The reason for this was i feared a sting with Paypal if the buyer claimed the item hadn't arrived, then i would have lost both the money and the amp! At least this way all i've lost is some percentage on my ebay feedback, I'll live!

nice!

nope, wouldnt remove negative feedback cos i agreed in principle after the sale to his terms. So stuck with cab, ebay charges and negative feedback - RESULT! I hope goulash sales plummet!

theyre looking into it now, calling him a dick and a jerk may not have helped
