Singers or vocalists, singing or vocalising
Rich replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
To my mind, a singer sings. Even if they've got a terrible singing voice, even if they're trying but failing, if the intention is to set words to a tune, they're singing. Even if those words are "Shana-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip bmm-bmm-bmm-bmm-bmm-bmm, get a job", they're still words, to a tune, ergo singing. The moment the tune aspect entirely and intentionally disappears from the performance, e.g. rap etc., it's vocalising by a vocalist, not a singer. Michael Bublé and Tom Araya are singers, Chuck D and Dani Filth are not. Yes this is a bit of an over-simplification and I'm sure there are gaping holes that can be picked in it, but I know what I'm trying to say. -

Follow-up to my NSBD (New Skirting Board Day), finally got some in place. Very pleased with the design. I don't do a lot of DIY so I'm quite chuffed with this.

I fitted a laminate floor in our bedroom and replaced all the skirting at the same time, rather than going the beading route. 2nd time I've done skirting. A satisfying job if your walls are square and plumb like they were on my 1st attempt, not so much when they aren't like, my 2nd attempt in a much newer house... But decent wood filler, decorators caulk and some patience with a paintbrush covers a multitude of sins!

I've always far preferred the GA24 shape to the normal Supernatural/MK, and I don't just mean the pointy tail. As a package it's much more pleasing to my eye. The Calibas shape was v.nice too.

I've got an old Zoom 509 that I've had for more years than I care to think about... I think I probably bought off Noah. It's all plastic and at first sight might appear flimsy, but I've gigged the hell out of it and use it at home a lot as a headphone amp. It's taken a licking and keeps on ticking, as they say. No qualms whatsoever about their build quality. I'm using an MS-60B now and it's built like a bomb shelter. I would sooner buy Zoom gear than Boss, quite honestly.

Nope, there are only 21 frets.

Top three attributes of a drummer - your opinion?
Rich replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
Our drummer uses a similarly tiny kit. 18" kick, snare, two toms, hats, ride, one crash. -

Looks great! I must give waterslides a try at some point. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a 'bleen'..?

Those would be my top three. I'd have to add taste, punctuality and knowing when to stfu. -

Is this the built-in tuner I've seen in some of his basses? Does he still offer it?

For preparing the enclosure for my latest build, I finally bit the bullet and invested in my first step drill bit, and have used it for the majority of the holes. So much better than plain HSS bits, especially for the bigger holes. Highly recommended if you don't already have one.
