The three most annoying things a punter can say are, in no particular order: 1) "Can you put xxxxxx on?" - Do you see record decks? 2) "Can you sing xxxxxxxxxx?" - well our singer can but what are the rest of use meant to do? We're not a barber shop quartet (thankfully) 3) After being told that we possibly couldn't do a song because no one of us have heard of it, punter says "its easy, it goes ner ner ner ner ner".At which point our singer says "Do you want to sing it?" which usually has them doing a David Copperfield and vanishing to the toilets. My wedding band has been together now for nearly 17 years and we pride ourselves on being able to try most stuff but even our male singer might struggle with a Kate Bush Song.

Cheers buddy, that does sound promising.

Yes I have read through everything but was wondering if anyone who had used it with an active Fender found that they could use it without having to run the extra thingy to get the transmitter away from the bass. I don't want to buy one then find out that I have to buy the extra bit. Not having a cable at all is the one thing that's winning it for me between the G30 and the Stageclix.

After using a wireless system at last weekend's outdoor gig I can now see what all the fuss is about. The stageclix is my first choice as the transmitter just plugs straight into the bass but on some active basses you have to buy the lead and other thingy and attach it to your strap as it interferes. But I don't want to. I just want to plug the transmitter straight into my bass. Is anyone using it with an active Fender straight into the bass and not with the extension strap thingy? If I have to get the extra bit then I'll decide between this and the G30 or G50

Lemmy, Chris Squire, Nathan East, Flea, Sting, Mark King, Derrick Taylor, Tom Petersson and a few others that I can't think of

We did a demo about 15 years ago and the sound engineer told me that I sounded like James Finnegan who was with Hue & Cry in the 80s. Funnily enough I did get lessons with him for about a year when I was 15. Another influence that I'd completely forgotten about is Derrick Taylor who was with Roachford in the 80s as well. Such a fantastic player as well

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1343131066' post='1745692'] Read the headstock! It's called the "Jazz Bass". [/quote] Read what I wrote again The Jazzmaster guitar was originally aimed at Jazz guitarists. The Jazz bass came out as the bass version to complement it and that is why it has that name, just like the original Precision complimented the Telecaster then was updated in 1957 to be more like a bass version of the strat with the headstock change.

It was to match the Fender Jazzmaster guitar wasn't it? The guitar was initially aimed at jazz guitarists AFAIK

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1334314805' post='1614280'] IAll of this can be altered/changed outboard with amps, effects,[b] wang[/b], EQ etc... [/quote] Wang? I've always loved the Precision sound but no Precision I ever played ever sounded right to me compared to what I was looking for. It took a PJ, my current bass, with active EQ to get the Precision sound I had in my head all these years. Combined with having a Jazz width neck which I prefer means that I'm as happy as the proverbial dog with 2 wangs. The only reason I'm selling my Rickenbacker, or at least trying to.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1342820157' post='1741642'] Just been thinking about these again and I still want one. Big mistake? How do I get a good one?! [/quote] Ahem

I like the Beatles to an extent and can see the attraction. I've heard some of the music that was about before everyone heard them and for the most part it was bloody aweful so its easy to see the attraction of them and their music. The Stones are touring simply because they are still alive (although they don't always look it) They were overshadowed in the 60s by the Beatles and by Led Zeppelin in the 70s. If anyone happens to be in Liverpool for Beatles weekend then check out the band's website [url="http://www.getbackband.co.uk/gigs.htm"]here[/url] and give me a wave if you happen to come along to one of our gigs. I personally cannot bloody wait.

A band I am currently in are playing at International Beatles Weekend at the end of August in Liverpool. Personally, I'm not that big a fan but we're doing a lot of McCartney & Wings stuff as well which Iike a bit of. I'm doing it purely for the experience, because I love to play and so that I can say that I've done it.
