Question: Where do old field marshalls go to play?
Answer: Anywhere they want to!

Howard - too much information!!

Tony, good to see that what initially might have been a bit of a shock to you, has jolted you into making direction change without any aggravation from fellow band members. Good luck with the blues.

Best wishes, Tony. Hey... my band needs a full-time bassist. Eh?

Hope it works out for you.

Good luck on the new venture, Anthony.
Is the Carnivores' drummer in need of a band? I'd like to replace mine!

Hands of Jerry....Kits in the new band!

There seem to be plenty of bassists on the forum. Why don't a couple of you move to England, there's a real shortage of good bass players over here....I know a good blues band looking for one

Hey Jerry, drummers are always the problem, aren't they? We've got some cool possibilities for overseas dates with Hautewerk but the drummer . . . great though he is . . . is always too busy to prepare for these. Frustrating!

Hey John, you know you'll always have a drummer available over here should Hautewerk ever decide to tour Down Under!

Hmmm, I have an idea for a cunning plan.....

Tony, I've now read this thread from the start. I hope your new project brings you success and satisfaction. I know how daunting it is to see the end of one band and the beginnings of another.

As far as your choice of six string is concerned, and being a blues-based guitarist myself, I have reached for a Strat nearly every time I've been playing blues.

However, on the last occasion when I was invited to join the The King Bees for a set, I used my '60 360 FG Capri. It's lead tone was every bit as 'stinging' as a Strat, but with more 'wood' to the tone.

I'm also a strong believer that the players attitude to the instrument makes a difference to the overall sound. For example, if I approached the Capri like it was some precious museum piece jangle twanger, I'm sure it would have affected the sound. Instead, I decided that I was going to attack it with the same gusto I would on a Strat or Tele, and bingo, it smoked like a demon!

Best of luck to you, Tony

I've been using this combination for the demos, plus of course my Marshall stack. I'm really pleased with the results, but I'm also going to try a Ric. I managed to get a fireglo Tele....

Thanks for all your wishes guys & gals. I've really dragged my heels on the forum CD, but still feel that I'm amongst good friends...thankyou so much.

JH, you're welcome to my drummer!

Enough drummer bashing already ... unless some of you crazy cats can get back there and lay down a solid groove of your own. Also, remember, when it comes to rock music, it's all about the drums ...

shamustwin · Post by **shamustwin** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 7:36 am

Yeah, but if he can't even play in 5/4 time...

steverok · Post by **steverok** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 8:05 am

I can. Rush's "Kid Gloves" is in 5/4. Covered it in 1991.

It our case, it's nothing to do with ability or even the drummer persona that is the basis of so many great jokes; it's strictly a matter of schedule.
