DT this is not the first gig I have played I was on the road for over 40 years with bands and I retired to just recording and composition this is the first paying gig I've played in over 10 years I did do some church productions and lots of jam sessions but I haven't done a single in over 10 yrs and I will shoot some videos and get some photos to chronicle this event

It really is a sad day not only Michael but Farrah Faucet she died earlier today, I remember seeing Michael when he did "Billy Jean" and did the moon walk I thought he was fantastic and the Thriller album was his best because of his association with Quincy Jones after that he went on a strange trip and I lost interest but he was great no doubt

I believe its for the reason that Chordie IS the largest search engine on the internet with almost a quarter million members

yea I think I played it at a gig its an interesting bit of history 35,000 years I wonder how they determined the date, carbon dating?

The thing I dont undestand is why you had to supply them with a brand new set of strings to begin with? if all they were doing was installing a pickup they could have used the old set to test to see if the pickup worked if you would have asked that question they might have had to come up with the restringing fee charge or at least informed you of the charge even if they were putting the old ones back

of course! it may just catch on there are a lot of loopers looking for a inexpensive way to mount a bass I know I could have spray painted it black along with the mic stand that was scraped up and I also could have put some padding so the back would not get scratched but no one but me is going to see it anyway I thought of making a video of the process but it was to hot to hassle with the equipment (98 degrees at noon) and tons of humidity I am staying in my cool air conditioned flat till later and then go to the lake I had a rehearsal useing my small practice amp and everything worked so when I get my new PA it should sound really nice still waiting for delivery I will be video taping some songs when I get my PA and upload to myspace so let ya know when

That is a beautiful photo the guitar is unusual especially the sound hole Ive never seen one like that and you are a very attractive lady good combination

I think Adobe has a zoom feature where you can increase the size of the font and get a print preview before printing I also have Adobe 9 and have printed out pdf files of Bobby Fishers chess games but if you want larger font this has to be done with the program that comes with the printer or a word processor I use Jarte a free word processor it works the same as note or word pad but it has a spellcheck and you can insert photos or change the color of the font but along with larger font go's more pages cant escape that

Thanks Phill I did have to rewire the pickups on the bass the rear one didn't work so I took the front one and moved it back it was a hassle rewiring because the pots had short wires and I had to improvise I also had to rout out the pickup cavity and pick guard because the mountings were smaller but I used my old utility knife and whittled away and shaved the plastic till it fit so everything is working but I'm still going to get another pickup and mount it closer to the neck so the bass sound comes out more it was a nice project and everything came out OK I have assembled a nice play list and I'm rehearsing it for a gig I booked still waiting for my new PA to be delivered so I can really push the envelope and crank it up right now I'm just useing my little amp with the volume turned down so I dont blow the speaker I figure it will take a month to really get comfortable with my new gear (I hope) the songs are coming along fine I added A Tom Petty song "free falling" and a Harry Chapin song "Cats in the Cradle" to the list which includes "Shooting Star" and "Ricki dont loose that number" and Reeling in the Years" which aught to get the audience going,so many songs keep me busy I haven't had time to compose anything new but as soon as I get a break or when the creative juices start flowing I will get back to my own stuff again

I think I will get a small clamp and mount it on the bottom so the bass rests on it and that will take any strain off the small mounting screw I also can loosen the screw and the tripod stand pivots and collapses into a compact unit that fits in a gig bag so I dont have to assemble and disassemble each time, naturally the clamp will be padded so I dont mar the finish but I only paid $50 for the bass and if it looks a little beat up who cares? just adds more "earthyness" and soul to it

no to any rap! I would rather endure Chinese water tourture or be stuck in an elevator that plays only Bobby Vinton or Tiny Tim for eternity
