[quote name='Jase' post='243156' date='Jul 19 2008, 12:27 AM']A band showing interest?[/quote] Nope,got my hopes up..all silent...oh well. (Just put my 9 up for sale locally,£3k if anyones interested)

Ok,check this out,I got asked for a photo....(fingers crossed)

[quote name='Jase' post='242454' date='Jul 18 2008, 10:18 AM']Weird that type of thing, all goes well and.......nah, not what we're looking for! It doesn't take long before you start asking yourself WTF is going on, is it worth all the nonsense? Oddly though, we keep going back for more.[/quote] Which brings us back to my original point,Its just bastard rude,you are left high and dry,and you dont know what you are to do? Ive learnt 8 songs in 5 days,nailed them,been told I was the "best they had had all week" and then recieve the email of rejection. I have come to the conclusion,where I might just ask,"Are you really bothered..?"

30,full pro rig,4,5,6,9 string,fretless Bassist Tour/Studio exp,Transport,seeks Band. Infs:-Butler,Angelripper,Lemmy,Ron Royce,Ain,Edling,Harris. Sings too.....

Last night & today I scoured all the websites (partysounds,Formingbands,Bandmix etc),reupdated my details,any extra info,on what I can do,and into....put new ads up....I seem to do this EVERY 3 months,its quite depressing me. Worryingly there ISNT anything about,unless I was 15 again,It saddens me,but I scan for hours,and cant find anything or anyone with much in common,once again,covers and covers/Indie/pop punk bands galore,but nowt else. I feel slightly doomed,as Ive had a shot in the sun and botched it.....Where did all the bands go.

Im a TOTAL Tech21 head,Landmark 300w head,matching cabs..... Its NEVER let me down,dragged through all manner of gigs,and has not been an ounce of probs.Ive used the Sansamp for longer,it isnt an LA clean amp ala SWR,but its made for dirt merchants such as me. If you like an Ampeg type of sound without the weight,and hassle of an all tube head,its the way to go. P-Bass and this set up,really shifts air.

Hobgoblin can get them,I could get you one made...

I just wish there was more cash,I see the crowds,I see the draw,and some tightwads wont dip their hands in and pay another 20 quid.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='238838' date='Jul 13 2008, 11:13 PM']Wow... everyone round here is really down about stuff these days.[/quote] Its the fuel,credit crunch thing,people are being stiffed at gigs,and theres not a lot of hope/money about. I only do the covers for money,not really love anymore,but as a single,live alone,Morgage,Garden,Garage,Car...y'know...the most taxed person on the bracket,the chance to earn ANYTHING that stops the red letter through the door is most welcome,and often has been a lifesaver,without coverswork,I would not have been able to feed,fuel,clothe,myself or keep a roof over mine and my loved ones heads (and buy some decent gear). but it sucks,esp when Managers that promise you £250,and the place is packed,'dissappear upstairs' and leave £180 on the side for the staff to pay you.... ANY COVERS PLAYER IN YORKSHIRE KNOWS THE VENUE IM TALKING ABOUT!

[quote name='metaltime' post='238686' date='Jul 13 2008, 07:12 PM']does your covers band not fancy doing some original stuff too?[/quote] I doubt they are even capable.....or would want to. The guitarist is 58,singers 54,Keys is late 40s,the drummer...I tried suggesting he come and jam with me,he didnt want to do that because there was no money to be made.....Im the youngest at 30. With my bitchmoaning hat on again,Its endemic around here.

Last night at 11:06pm,I turned to my keys player and mouthed the words "Im bored",Dave smiled..."Yeah...me too" was his silent reply.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='238667' date='Jul 13 2008, 06:21 PM']Did you sort this?[/quote] Think she did. You never answered the question of the Airline adaptor being sold,so how many flog one??

Its not whats being played,its weather its got punters in the door,buying pints. If your gonna slag off covers fair enough,but Ive seen sh*te onstage playing whatever,covers,originals,it didnt matter,it was sterile crap,and just because you play originals only,does not give you a godgiven right to an automatic audience or cash,if you are good you get rebooked,if you aint,you wont,its as simple as. I bemoan that all I do is covers,yet one look at partysounds in my area and theres FAR more places for coverswork rather than originals bands,in fact Ive threaded about my dissapointment about 'Original' musicians,being total flakes or blowouts,with crappy gear,no idea that what sounds good in a bedroom dosent always translate to the stage......its a totally different environment. Regardless of this,I would rather see a good originals band,but Ive yet to see anything in the last 3 years that isnt a copycat or clone or soundalike of summat Ive seen or heard already thats signed.....and then theres stage persona,Im not looking for Sinatra,but I wouldnt mind watching a band that dosent copy DOWN TO THE HAIRCUT,their heros. Good bands,get paid,and get paid what they ask. My lot wont play for £180 anymore,its £200-250+ now for a pub,Functions can command whatever,Weddings more so.

Get a job,work harder,get both. Learn Patience.

7th fret A string,9th fret E string,7th fret E string,4th fret B string (though that may be a 3rd fret..but I think its 4th so...),5th fret B string... You are also playing it in the wrong position...but given as they are tuned differently it dosent matter,but my ways Phatter.

NAILED IT...I Think

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='238373' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:41 AM']Oooh no not that bit. ok... so you've got the chorus.... 55555555 (I'm noooooooooooooooot) 2222222222 (Sad at all) *little run here*[/quote] Oh THAT fill....its nowhere near 3:21....hang on

no im wrong its A string...2nd,2nd,3rd....open E. (Minor 7th to major 7th...If the root is C sharp...its early...)

ok..its chromatic...B,C,C sharp... 2nd fret A string to 3rd..then 4th..then back into the riff,snd fret low B...but its a f***load easier if you were on a 4 playing to they're tuning.

Right sarah...I think this lot are tuned C sharp..you are in regular tuning,is it the really small climb after the 'drop-out' (as in no bass..just drums and vox)..then everything comes back in....

ok...from 3:21 to when?

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='238354' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:22 AM']Tab only for all my sins.... and thanks [/quote] Mutters)...Fookin blind metalhead..... Hang on.....its coming up

Gimme 5 mins...do you read..or are you a tab only person?

WE got paid,nice place,bit odd,but was told alot of people are on holiday,hense smallish number....Met someone who could teach me German. 2 drunk birds were annoying,but harmless,I need sleep....
