Great original idea. If it get's to the south west I'm in. Good luck everyone.

I've been in Off Topic mostly!

Possibly yes. If your heart is not in it anx you are not inspired by the songs don't bother. If you are reasonably keen on gigging then keep looking.

Cool. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

[quote name='hollywoodrox' timestamp='1357676487' post='1926637'] i love pointy charvel s Kramer Jackson etc especially with awesome paint jobs 80s hair metal style [/quote] No paint jobs or 80's hair (although did in the day). Thanks for your pointy support.

What's with the pointy vote? My Charvel get's plenty of good comments in this day & age.

Did one recently. +1 for a Gramma Pad, reduce the bass & boost the mids to suit. It can work.

Some good info here from everyone. IMO your 60w combo will struggle as a backline unless you are playing something quiet or soft. What type of band are you? Either a bigger combo or decent active monitors will allow you to hear yourself properly. It will become frustrating if your FOH sound is great & you can't hear yourself on stage very well. You don't want to drowned out by the drummer. You may be one but now you are the bass player!

I'm on my mobile so can't paste the link to a post. In General Discussion there is a thread called what are you transcribing at the moment. On page 2 i posted the first part to wherever I lay may hat. It's tabbed & a bit limited as there is no rythm given but the bars and chords are show. If you know the song you will be ok. Enjoy.

A decent 15" powered monitor should get you heard. For best results you will want a few monitor mixes.

Saw them do this on Graham Norton and was was well impressed. Great moves to boot. Pop is interesting again.

Heard it on the radio the other day whilst driving. Had to stay in the car when I got home to listen to the end. Awesome bassline.

I know what you mean. I have mine in a 3u flightcase along wit a TE uv light unit. It looks the biz but weighs a load more. On the plus side if safer to transport. You could always find someone hand with a sewing machine?

Mine was well past it when I bought it years ago. My advice would be to get some rack ears and put it in a 2U flightcase.

+1 for the Rotodounds. But don't fotget the mirror scratch plate as well.

Stagg foldable guitar stand that fit's nicely in my gig bag. Great for practice & rehersals were I don't need to get my Hercules stand out.

We have started to play Knights of Cydonia. I have mentioned to the rest of the band that it would be great if I played the harp piece that Chris Wolstonhome plays live. We have agreed it could sound great. Ok so he doesn't play bass & harp at the same time which sounds insanely difficult, but he plays both.

News to me. Saw the recent documentry and he had a 6 string behind him in his garden room when being imterviewed. Hope we get to find out. Entwistle had quite a collection.

I am always heard with my Stingray and the low mids boosted on my TE head. If you want to know what you and the rest of the band sounds like then during the sound check get right out front. I use 2 leads linked with a double female connector just for that & then change back to 1 lead for the gig. It's a cheap solution top an age old problem.

Hope it doesn't give you the cold shoulder cos it' frigid! Sorry, had to said given the title of the thread. Good luck with your dating though. Don't worry if it's too old as many a fine tune has been played on an old fiddle!

Welcome to the jungle by Guns 'N Roses. Great bassline that needs to be picked for max impact. Had a couple of run throughs so should be good for first gig in the new year.

Don't know about this version, but years ago a band i was in did the Fast Freddies Fingertips version. Sounds similar though. Wasn't too dificult i seem to remember, just keep up with the semitone key changes.

The newest song in our set.

Err no, never have & never will. Go for it all all of you who do though.
