Its been a while. I had to take a break from the computer. I think that the computer is more addictive than many drugs. I had not seen the "homework" page until just now. Sweet. Finally got a group up adn running. Vocals, bass, and drums. Thats it. Had people up and out of their seats 1/2 through the first song and that makes me happy. Jonathan

A few other questions... At what point in this thread did you say to yourself "what the hell was I thinking" Jonathan

I will look through the thread but pages are opening slow for me this morning in the anus of america. I need some advice on retubing a fender bandmaster quickly. The local tech cant get it done by this weekends gigs. Long story short, vibrations/tapping were producing distortion through the amp. We waited for it to cool and I pushed the tubes back in. Then we tried it again and no distortion. Should We Retube it? If so, can I put a matched set of the same kind of power tube in and not have to have the bias set for 2 gigs? Or is that still to long to wait? How does a bassist check the bias? Does that make me a bias bassist? Thank you Myles. And if you dont wee this by friday at 6pm, dont worry about it. Jonathan

Last post, i'll stop with the many small ones soon:) Maisie, nice score on the bass, maybe he will develope some senial tendencies and forget the bass. Can you get us pics? Jonathan

Yes, this brings up my current dilemma. I need to fix the suspension on my car. Here is the background: Its a 93 audi with about 165,000 miles. I have beaten the thing to crap on the inside so no real chance to sell it. Everything else on it works like a charm. Just had diagnostics done on it and everything is in tip top shape. I like the car and it fits my bass rig with no problem, the PA is another story which is one reason I have thought of getting a truck with a topper. The suspension is going to cost me about $1,500-2,300(new front axels, new struts, one new Joint). In 3 years that will make about $3,000 in repairs which seems alright to me instead of paying for full coverage Insurance and for a car payment. So my question: is it worth it to fix up a car that does everything I need or do you guys think that at its age(14 years old.older than Maisie) its time to put her down and get a newer vehicle. Since Im buying used I might just be getting someone elses problems and have to pay more than I would to fix this one. I think I have answered this one myself, but do you chaps have any input besides the ones on your bass heads? Jonathan

In a town called Bedford, not too far away, I have a gig at a strip bar ! ? I'm not sure at what level I can expect genetic stability in Bedford, and I imagine chickenwire and breastfeeding babies all in the same room. It's not till April so I'll get back to you guys (by then I will have a camera and will take pics for you guys;) ) and let you know what happens. Luckly we will be in a different room than the Girls(wait, my guitarist didnt say if it was a male or female strip joint... oh well) and we play from 10-12 which keeps us away from the way too drunk people. Have a good one, Jonathan

I tend to cycl;e caffeine out but going from coffee to tea to nothingand then start again. This is so I dont ever get a huge addiction and so I dont have to drink 5 cupsto get up in the morning. Interesting thing about caffeine... it makes your body release adrenalin so you can kill your adrenal glands. Not 100% about this lst part, but I think it makes it harder for you body to release adrenalin on its own terms if you become too dependant. They drink coffee in England? I thought that was illegal.

How many times do you suppose an open E note has been hit on a bass guitar in frustration? Also how many times have people played 1 5 1 5 etc since the 50's? Jonathan

Jonathon, I'll see your eleven year old and "lower" you by one year. Benyamin Check out the rest of his videos. This kid is scary good for a ten year old. I'll see you 10 year old and raise you an 8 year old drummer! Wow that kid on Piano shure was amazing. If I could just get him and this drummer to play music with me life would be much easier.

There is already a bass part to it... you jsut play the root note exactly as the guitar player plays the power chords. So really, he is a glorified octiver. Jonathan
