FYI; i remember a next gen episode where jean luc playes a flute, so there's your band

i was in school with a guy that turned out to be a music teacher later on in life, but during the 70's when i decided i wanted to play bass he gave me a great tip (he played double bass in a jazz band at the time) he said less is more.

undoubtedly john entwistle was one of the worlds greatest bassists along with chris squire of yes, you play your instrument to compliment the music whether it be bass or any other instrument. as the who were a three piece and townsend was not one of the best guitarists or kieth moon a steady timekeeper, the part he played needed to be almost a lead instrument, a role he played well.

i cant imagine "yesterday" being played with an entwistle riff banging away.

i have a few sure's, but my favorite is a beyrdynamic TG-X60. it has the deeper response that i like. before that i had a sure, i keep that so others can use it which was to replace a yamaha mic which was the best i've ever had or heard, it conked out but it's still in a drawer cos i cant bear to throw it away, and someone may be able to fix it some day...ever the optimist....

hi roger, i've been using one for about 2 years now and i think it's great value, the only downer is that though it has reverb it doesnt have echo, and you some times need it! to be honest i heard someone else use one and thought it sounded great, as you can get that eagles sound or the everleys harmony as long as your guitar stays in tune. i can recomend it.

hi amy, i deliberately haven't read what the other guys have said not to colour what i want to say.

you say you may join a band...great, you also mention a sound guy with a large mixing desk, even better. then you want advice on mics and amps for your guitar and vocal?

so if this mixer guy has a big mixer and presumably a large PA system to go with it, why would you need a personal amp? my advice would be (if he does have a PA system) get a decent pick-up or mic and plug directly into the PA. you should also get a better sound than a guitar amp.

it's always worth buying a good vocal mic.

if he doen't have a PA, bigger is always best, as you can turn down for small venues, but if you have a small system you cant turn up for bigger ones! and plug your guitar into it as well.

looking forward to hearing some band recordings.

thanks jimmy, i didn't actually get a ticket, that would cost me 100 pounds and 3 points on my clean lisense, which i've held for 40 years, so i opted for a speed awareness course for which i pay 80 pounds and no points. if you get (i think) 13 points you get banned for a year or till the first points elapse then your insurance costs an arm and a leg! hence "slow down"

hi dino, walmart has a uk branch called asda, and they sell house, car and life insurance as well as lots of other finacial stuff like credit cards. i'm not with them my self but with a competitor called tesco which are another supermarket, i find their sevices are good and recomend them to anyone. of course they could be totally different in the us! check them out first.

so many guitars but only two hands, isnt God cruel?

excellent, very emotive. great voice/guitar and recording. i'm jealous....

my ex too! i've tried it in a rock and/or pop style but it didn't work (for me) i don't know if anyone realises but it is on my-space if you'd like to click web on the left

i have a theory that explains all the spam that no one reads or wants.

there are internet companies that pay surfers to plant this muck anywhere they can, it matters not that the forums accross the web are nothing to do with what they are selling or that no one will read it, they just get handed their 30 pieces of silver and they go away happy. when they get banned they just get another email address and do it again.

thanks to all our diligent members who report them, cos if we cant get rid of them then there'll be no room for relevent conversation.
