    Lead Guitar player quits over Newyear gig.

    +1 agree on that. I played alot of years in a core band. None of us were great, but we all worked at the same goals. To gig, make money, and have fun. We played out 60-70 dates a year, never argued, no one ever missed a practice, or a gig for that matter. Greatest band Id ever been in. The new...

    Lead Guitar player quits over Newyear gig.

    He was pretty bad to deal with. And to believe I almost didnt use a sub and go forth Newyears. Well now we still have an everymonth return gig at "rathole" and really the place aint that bad. Band I was in for 5 years prior to this one, played at "rathole" 4 years , and never had a problem with...

    Lead Guitar player quits over Newyear gig.

    Our Lead guitar player, who Ill call "A", informed our lead singer, that "A" was leaving the band. Ill give a little background information on the matter. "A" is a great player, puts on really good show and generaly easy to work with. But sometimes we would text or...

    Tired of my bandmates?

    Ive been In a similar situation before. Hated practice, even giging with these guys was no fun. I felt , though, that as long as we were giging out, that I would stick it out. I was talking to a friend who's in a very good band in the area, and he asked one day, "do you enjoy the people...

    Set Killers?

    A set killer is pretty much decided on the mood of the crowd.. What works tonight, or an hour ago depends on reading the crowd. A great song works when the timing is right. Timing is everthing.. Loose touch with your crowd.. kill the set. Ive seen weird, or songs no one would give a chance...

    hey we got this idea about......

    I run our sound from on stage.. I walk out a couple times.. and take a listen. Never been a problem. Some one mentioned about it looking more professional with a sound man.. How unprofessional will it look if he"s the bass playing soundman from the back? Thats just creepy.. Will the venue...

    I have a problem with cover/tribute bands.

    Some one allready mentioned the fact that most major acts, do play covers, not to mention remakes are covers too. So no need to look forward to someone who plays covers "showing you something" with original music.. its been done. Turn on the radio.

    Is a P bass necessary?

    I can understand Johns position on this subject. The (Icall it progressive) type of music Johns playing is a good example of a style and sound where a P bass dont get it done. Not just the extended range aspect, but the sound he needs, in an upfront almost soloist melodic style, ( that most of...

    Is a P bass necessary?

    A p bass and a jazz all have ther places. That being said a jazz will never (replace) sound like a p. This " I solo my neck pickup" wont make you have the full rich tone.It makes a jazz fuller than with both pickups on, but thats not the nasty growl a jazz is for. Some settings a jazz sounds...

    Whats the difference???? Fender vs. Squier

    News flash for most of you..THEY DONT SOUND THE SAME! not even close. Granted I play a Squier, alot I love it, has a better set up than most MIM's. I found out something Id forgotten about, American fenders sound better. Id played a Geddylee, and a Squier for a couple years in a band. Last...

    70's Reissue, Highway one, or Geddy Lee

    I played 2 of the 70's mim's..at gc for about an hour. Both could use a set up, but they were passable as players.. Although nether were in the ballpark of the Geddylee. Ive played one for a year now, evey weekend. Great sound, super fast neck, with thin profile. The 70's have differant profile...

    New American "P"

    Yea those G&L's are great. Chrome steels should wake that thing up. Strings were a concern of mine, Ive never liked Fender strings. But I can live with these, they must be fresh. I walked into G.C., and saw this one marked $1009. I couldnt pass it up. If you change pups, post about it...

    New American "P"

    And gig it I did. Played the Jazz the first set, and the precision the other 2 sets. I didnt plan on playing it that much. But I couldnt stop, even with it toned out for good clarity, it has this heavy massive sound! Fender did good on these.

    New American "P"

    Yep thats the look. Ill gig it tonight, alternate sets with it and the Geddy Lee. In fact I think Ill go over our set list and find the songs more suited to the P-bass tone. And use it on them.. Use the J on songs its suited for it. Since we change setlist every week, I wont know what those...
