Doddy Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 [quote name='Pete Academy' post='802926' date='Apr 11 2010, 07:16 PM']I think my soundcheck is the shortest in the whole band. Is that good or bad? [/quote] I bet it's not. Mine basically consists of a two bar,two octave country-esque lick in G,and some quick walking down in the lowest register. If the sound guy has his act together,it literally takes seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Something with dynamics and space in the song so we can get levels of gtr against keys. Usually something like "Hard Rain" or "Come together" work well and we can stretch out as well...sets the gig up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 For checking bass only, I'll just pedal some notes in different registers for a while. As a band, we usually do a bit of one of our songs that has as much variety as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaches always sorts out the people who know what's good from the people who don't.[/quote] [quote name='munkonthehill' post='803215' date='Apr 11 2010, 11:21 PM']my drummer loves that song peaches, we also used to do lump in a prevvious band together[/quote] That threw me as I suddenly realised that in the past I've regularly covered at least 3 songs called Peaches... and all of them good songs in their own right! Presidents of the USA The Stranglers Prince (OK that one doesn't have an 'es' on the end ) So which one was it Owen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderHorse Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 When it's me on my own I usually play The Enemy Within by Rush or Police and Thieves. Both good bass lines that cover plenty of notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3V17C Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 bass wise, just noodle about.. band wise we normally do Thin Lizzy 'Are You Ready' as it covers everything we need: both guitarists get a solo, backing vox etc, plus its nice and easy with lots of open E,A,D string bits which means easy amp tweaking without stopping playing. c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
