EVIL J'S BASS STOLEN ~ Evil J's fretless bass was stolen at a show in Idaho on Feb. 1st. PLEASE keep your eyes and ears open for anything being offered on ebay or any other similar site selling used musical instruments.

The bass is a 4 string Carvin fretless bass, 13 years old, brown Koa wood body, no fret markings on the fretboard. He'd modified several items on the bass, so it is unique and should be easy to recognize. If you were at the show and saw anything suspicious or have any information about the whereabouts of Evil J's bass, please contact me IMMEDIATELY.

Zenfish....the Chromeboy/Alum one....yes!

Heyas ppl... and especially the SATCH man... I hope Your health is gaining strength.... !!! ;)

I have a question... I have been playing and composing music for some odd 16 years. My technical expertise is "OK" - My worry is that I have hit a brick wall. I cannot compose music "the right way" anymore. It seems that my playing and technique is more or less sublime, but my composition and phrasing techniques suck big time.

I wonder, has that happened to anyone here... ???

It seems the harder I try to create a 16 minute canvas, decorate it, and cut off the edges and surplus material I get 5 minutes of "too" controlled noise... without any edge at all...

Anyone out there with some FEEDBACK...

Stevee T : RUN....do not walk......out and pick up the LISF DVD ASAP. (I've exceeded my daily acronym allowance now).

SLANSH IN FORMER DAYS

Slansh in former band days in the link above. I am not supposed to let u hear that one ssshhhh. It isnt posted on his webpage.

Slansh will correct me if I am wrong but this one has Mr Agnew from Nazareth on drums. Also Beard and Gavin from SBM - amazing professional musicians.

There is a live video from Lorient, France though - playing to 7000 people. Go to SBM tunes and open. play with real audio player.

Delfino - Oh of course; the hot chick is the main thing. Where are my priorities? Tut tut...

Clarky - Cool. See you tomorrow!!!

Suzie - Well, I doubt it was the same one since the one we played was down in Hastings. Which makes it even worse, since I drove the best part of 100 miles to play even when we didn't stand a chance of winning... No, I don't study at Surrey Uni but I do study at the Academy Of Contemporary Music (ACM). I'm in my final year of a degree in Contemporary Popular Music Performance.

I'll get the LISF...soon....thanks for the advise....

Zenfish,

you're right it will

Master Yoda- No it wouldn't have been the same one then, sorry! More annoying for you though, having to drive all that way as well as the irritation from the ONE judge... Is the ACM building right near the Wetherspoons pub? If so, I think we've been past it. Good luck with the rest of the course though! :-)

chesse101: oh yes, its smelling soooo good here. My buddy came by to visit with his fiancee and baby. Were making some porterhouse, t bone and sirloin on a charcoal grill. Mashed potatoes and gravy for ths steak has already been prepared, while the steak is looking better by the second. I like mine medium well, so its talking a while. I am super hungry and I think I'll have some salad as an appetizer......

I'll keep this dinner event posted!

2 pages to catch up with?

suzie; are you a vegetarian? I did have some Linda McCartney veggie burgers. They were spicy and tasted fantastic. Mashed potatoes is actually Cream and butter with potato added as a garnish!
