rogerstodge Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I was playing for a "glam" tribute band when i met "the Bass god", got chatting to him and he asked me what band i played with, when i told him his reply was... "so your'e one of those glam rock tossers then".. Luckily i was in a good mood or i would have er.. erm.. Ahh.. Perhaps not.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothers Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Just popping in to say that JJ has always been my bass hero. I have the honour of playing some Stranglers songs in my band. We cover No More Heroes and Hanging Around at the moment. We did do Grip, but since we lost our keyboard player we dropped it. As for the sound, good pick ups on my custom 'Rothers Punk Bass' turned up to full treble and a little natural overdrive on my Laney rig.

Lozz196 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Keep trying to put a Stranglers song in The Daves set. Something Better Change - with me on vox - or No More Heroes. But the rest of the band think the solos go on for too long and are boring as they`re full of keyboards. Fools, like solos can`t be shortened to compensate for having no keyboards?

lojo Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 You don't need keys to gig a stranglers song ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I know - which makes it even more infuriating. Both songs work great without keys - have seen/heard it done, and the songs really work as guitar-based songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Vincent Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 As solo artist Hugh Cornwell ably demonstrates,although Toiler on the Sea didn't quite work with the bassist singing the keyboard line.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW we've just added 4 studio demos to our Lemonrock page and our website.
