Well, I try my best to contribute. You don't have to approve.

Glad to see you've found some new people to annoy.

Regards.

Well dont I feel stoopid...

You live and learn mate, live and learn.

The thing about chops coming from woodwind players I never knew before but it makes sense (I'll smack you in the chops e.g.). It's got some fancy name like embouchare (which also makes sense if you know a bit of Italian).

Always!

Keeps the fuckers on their toes.

That's what surprised me!

just had a wee look on allmusic.com

Riff: "Riffs are repeated phrases of pronounced rhythmic character but often not strikingly melodic"

Lick: Basically improvising over a passage (in key and in keeping with the style).

Chops: Originally meant the cheeks and lips of woodwind players and applied to their technique. Now a general term for technique.

Remembering that riff stands for rhythmic figure should make it a bit easier to understand.(although my dictionary says it could be short for refrain)

I've always understood lick to be similar to a riff but relying more on melody than rhythm for impact.

As for chops Frosty, I've always understood that to be the ability to play cleanly and accurately. e.g. 'When I got the plaster off my arm it took me weeks to get my chops back'

Ya big sook Marj. It's past your bedtime too. Go!

Hook is also used to describe the point in the song that tells u whats happening next eg the build up to a chorus or the first chords of the verse.

When do I get my thanx?????

erm, when did this start. A hooks always been the bit in the verse or chorus that sticks in your head for days. It 'hooks' you.

Swim little fishie.

Put the head on the larger cab and move the purple cab onto a chair or something...looks like the wierdest stack ever at the moment....still...purple and cool.

Since the wheels fit into the wheel wells on the bottom cab, where's the problem. Moving it onto a chair would give you more phasing problems. It's fine as it is.

who'd sue malboro? what's the point? like everyone thought smoking was good for them? duuuuuuuuh!

Yea, they got sued for like a squidillion pounds by some dudes cos they started smoking in the fifties when the advertising said it was 'cool'. Should've been dead by now anyway.

Don't go and see Mr Onz on Wednesday then.

I just heard the original version of word up on the radio - never heard it before!

Strangely I knew all the lyrics to the song as well....

That can only mean the mighty atom have played it TOO many times, hehe...

Have you seen the video for the original. I sometimes waken up screaming because of that red codpiece.

Lester, change your profile before the guys see it. It's Real Shocks, not THE Real shocks.

I only use THE when I want to wind up Del. It works when he's pissed anyway.

That seems like a better game. Person closest to the loss (oops, I mean profit) of the next F/N gets to lick Craigs ciggie (live on stage) at the next DL'MF'SS gig.

Obviously only the one ciggie, cos you don't want Craig getting sued like Marlboro.

Give the girl her hair back, you fiend. Girls are touchy about such things you know.

Committed and talented? Remember this is Aberdeen!

Should be committed is probably as close as you'll get.

You should know better than to crosspost, you naughty boy!

i may have to ban you both, as this thread is no longer on the stated topic of 'blacklisting'.

the aberdeen-music.com code of messageboard practice does not allow for this. you've broken rules 12.44.6 and 4343.675.65, section (b)

today, i shall blacklist FINCH for being utterly shite at reading...

That's a bit harsh, maybe they're dyslexic.

The band with Mackie, Keith et al was Damage inc. I haven't seen any of these guys recently.

Chris and Kev from Last divide are playing with Pete Duncan in a band called Floored. The last time I saw Jaff he was playing in a ceilidh band. Ali now lives in the sticks and every time I see him he's normally a bit the worse for wear (country loon in the big smoke).

I know it's not helping you find Jens, but informative nonetheless.

Me too. I think they're thick enough for fast riff playing but thin enough to give the strings a bit of a thrash or play bass chords.

Get some more money and buy something good. You really get what you pay for with bass amps!!!

The way I read it is this:

1) A sign on the door stating the policy will make it easier for the doorstaff to exclude groups of these people. If several members of a group are into the same sort of music, their dress sense will tend more towards the image percieved with that music. I doubt if 4 or more guys in full ned gear will be in there for the music.

2) People on their own or small groups dressed as such shouldn't be refused if they are coherent.

3) People known to the doorstaff, and people with ''appropriately' dressed friends wouldn't be refused.

I think that's the gist of what Moshulu are saying.

If so, it's perfectly reasonable to me. The management think they have a problem and this small measure is what they're doing to address it.

Remember that the staff walk round more than you so see more, don't drink on duty so remember more, don't dance or get involved in meaningful conversations so don't miss much.

But then the tonal variations on the distortion would be absent from the DI signal, you would get a cleaner DI'd sound to mix with the distorted signal, but a lot of distortions remove the bass content (one of the reasons you can get off with no compression before your amp), and this would still be present.

Nice try though.

As Keilan said the Shredmaster is a wicked pedal. I use a Danelectro Fabtone, along with an EBS Octabass octave for my death bass!!!

As for the compression question, you shouldn't really need one if you set you pedals correctly and your technique is sound. Ian, am I right?

I like it when my bass is both DI'd and miked. It gives, for me, a better sound. I hate my bass just being DI'd. I didn't buy a quality amp to use it as a stage monitor.

Yea, as long as your amp has enough headroom to deal with the increased power required by the clipped waveforms. I generally tend to mic bass amp if the amp sound wouldn't be heard, which normally requires a bigger pa than most venues in Aberdeen. Also, as I mentioned, it's a good get of of jail free card if the DI goes down, which is why I don't like using balanced outs on amps cos some don't have a power fail hard patch.

Does anyone remember the old Pelican dress code. White stilettos and moustaches (especially on the same person) were banned. Presumably to stop the Metro crowd from getting in.

If memory serves, you were on the list anyway Del. For exactly those reasons too.
