If it's on 15th feb I'll be in Aberdeen playing at His Majesty's theatre so i'd pop along. But don't take this into account when organising it.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1386590675' post='2301764'] Sorry chaps, but you are also doing the same to me! [/quote]Touche sir!, Touche!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1386379823' post='2299624'] This is no good Nige, you keep having gigs on the same day I do, how am I ever meant to get to see you guys again? [/quote]He's doing it to me too. the one time i'm in London for a couple of days and his gigging same day as me. Selfish!

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1386417152' post='2299843'] It won't But learning to relax and feel the music without stimulatory aids is the key. You need all your physical faculties to play properly, the more smoke and drink, the higher the latency [/quote]i wondered why the drummer was always a song behind the rest of us. I thought he was being experimental With the couple of drinks thing its just in the rock band. With other gigs I'm usually jacked up on coffee....hardcore me!

Ah bugger! Cheers man, have a good gig!

Saw this down in the Bass player wanted section. It's killer.It's Prog but a tune too. The right amount of prog. Thought i'd bang it up in this section so maybe more people would see it. http://youtu.be/0_e4YX73Ww4

What time would you be on? I would be playing that night, we get wrapped up by about 10 ish.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1386442253' post='2300250'] maybe i was a little specific in that percentage but ok that makes no sense. unless you can explain to me different Mr Sausage. [/quote]I'm no good at explaining anything!

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1386416620' post='2299830'] Did a gig last night and could have kicked myself after. Wasn't feeling it at all, didn't feel like I was playing at full capacity. It definitely happens to everyone! [/quote]Maybe it's my fault and this stupid thread got subliminally into your head!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1386429052' post='2300013'] Good thread Nige. my heroes in music are 50% women. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEyJmR7z4ng[/media] [/quote] What if you get a new hero who's male and it tips the balance. Do you jettison an older male hero to keep that perfect balance!

Awesome balls. I've always wanted to do world of pure imagination! Great little medley and good playing.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1386407796' post='2299701'] Tum te tum.. I'm just filing me nails while I wait for Dingus to get here.. [/quote] are you sure you are alright to use a file. Be careful woman!

Also, i didn't know the Tom Daley thread got locked......that is a surprise!

I was reading the list thinking oh dear! It's ridiculous. Then at the bottom there's a list of best songs by a woman....and the majority are sh*t. It really doesn't help the argument. Also a few of the women trade of T&A so that doesn't help the feminist cause. The singer in my band is a girl, sh*t not girl a bird, no what they called..oh yeah a woman. (she prefers being a girl and calls us boys, we're all in our 30's no one gets offended). But we do get comments like as if she can sing Zeppelin or as if she's rocks that much. A lot of people think she is Hot tho and that usually comes first!

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1386352841' post='2299246'] I'm happy with my playing most of the time mate, there will be times when I feel frustrated or like I've got bass player's equivalent of writer's block but every musician on the planet must feel like that from time to time. There are aspects of my playing that I'd like to improve on but I'd be happy if I could stay this level and get no better if you know what I mean. You don't have anything to worry about though, surely! From an outsider's point of view you're a great reader and play with feel feel and dynamics, which are what counts when it comes to being a great bassist. [/quote] Thanks pal, that put's it better than i did actually, the writer' block thing. I suppose i'm not unhappy with my playing but not 100% happy. I don't think you have to worry about not improving, your class. It's like Rory said You're a Monster!

That tune is amazeballs. I will be in London in the last week of Jan for shows in Hackney. I'm assuming i will be there for rehearsals for a couple of days before the shows. If so I'll have some evenings off. what I'm getting at is do you have any gigs at the end of Jan?

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1386343429' post='2299059'] Comes and goes, and depends on what I'm trying to do. In my current band the playing is mostly pretty straightforward and I feel pretty good about it. When I was recently trying to get a prog-metal band off the ground and trying to play Dream Theater-type lines, I felt very inadequate. Likewise in a couple of jazz-funk bands I have felt unable to play what I would have liked to be able to play... But then I realised that I just don't spend much time [i]playing[/i] those kinds of music these days, so it is no surprise that I have not built up a broad repertoire in those styles. I am OK with that. I think it [i]is[/i] a part of the musician's psyche to always feel that there are better players and to aspire to be better. Problem is, when full-time jobs and families come along - where does one find the time?? [/quote] It's not so much about aspiring to other players for me. What it is, for example, is about 10 yrs ago if you gave me a chord sheet and a groove i could do something good instantly everytime, blaze and improvise over most things. I was happy with my playing. Now if i looked back on some of that stuff i might think it rubbish now but at the time my playing matched up with my musical mind. Nowadays though, it hasn't kept up and my mind is infront of my playing. Does that make sense!?

Recently i was speaking with a guitarist I was working with and i remarked how i wasn't happy with my playing currently. He said "Who is? Musicians will always be never happy with it. Always looking to improve." I agreed about always looking to improve but surely you can still be happy with it. I thought back though and I haven't been happy with it for many years. So who is?..............and who isn't?

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1386271527' post='2298152'] Don't forget to get a good coat of lacquer on it when it's finished, then t-cut it back to get a good shine on it. It's looking good though. Well done! [/quote]Cheers! It has got a good coat of lacquer. Used a full can!

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1386260257' post='2297884'] Great book that. [/quote]Aye, it's the one with his biography and style breakdown etc. I only got it for the transcriptions but all that is pretty cool. Glad it's not tab as using it as a reading exercise too and it's too easy to cheat when it's there.

This been on yet? http://youtu.be/aYBT90PFmoM
