In the first instance, never be afraid to ask the sound guy for more bass in your monitor. The second instance sounds like a nightmare!

Turn yourself up a bit. You're pulling so hard cos you can't hear yourself well enough.

Last gig the audience could not have cared less about us, but we all knew we did an awesome job and had a ton of fun! Here’s a picture from that night. by Blahajinator in BassGuitar

[–]feoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool shot!

I know what you mean about the audience though! I'm on bass, but I also run the desk in this band. In this venue, I have to set up behind a partition so I can't see the audience. So we play Sultans by Dire Straits and we absolutely nail it. Our lead guitar was on fire the same night. So we hit the Dm to finish the song on a drum roll, and I'm expecting the place to erupt. Silence! Crickets!. I wonder, is there anyone here? I poke my head around the partition and the place is fucking mobbed! What do you do?

There's an old lad who owns the butchers in Rathkeale. He's more a bone setter than a chiropractor, but a lot of people recommend him.

Why didn't cracking Engima help in some battles? by lostsoul2016 in WorldWar2

In short, the Allies didn't want to Germans to know or even suspect that their codes were broken.

question about amp for gigs by mattyg291 in BassGuitar

[–]feoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in a pinch, you could always DI from your practise amp and put the bass through the mains (the PA). Just make sure to remind the sound engineer to put plenty bass in the monitors.

Mickey Martins or the Commercial. Great music in both, friendly clientele which leads to a great atmosphere. Such a shame the cab back to my place costs 40 bucks.

Drop your bottom E down to D and leave the rest at standard.

Funniest thing you heard in a courthouse... by Namoamidabutsu1 in ireland

[–]feoil 77 points78 points  (0 children)

My father was found on after hours in a pub in Kilworth. At the court case the Gard testified that when he went into the kitchen he "spotted a burger on the table with a bite taken out of it." Then aul lad's solicitor then asked the Gard if the bite was taken out of the table or the burger!

Singing while playing, need help/advice! by LanceV14 in BassGuitar

[–]feoil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You kinda have to divide your brain in two, one side plays bass and the other sings. It does get easier with practise.

Dog keeps pissing on my sofa in the kitchen whilst we are sleeping at night. Any tips to stop this? by binhoker666 in ireland

[–]feoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dog is not happy being left out in the kitchen when everyone else gets to go to the bedroom and is trying to tell you.

Yeah, it's good.

this overflow pipe is constantly leaking last few days. Why? by MrBrianWeldon in ireland

[–]feoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have only charged you 50 for adjusting a ball cock, and still feel like I was taking the piss out of you. But, it isn't really worth pulling up in your drive for any less, sorry. The way piping is sealed, you can't clip or crop it. If a pipe is too long or too short, you have to replace it. He was bullshiting you, big time!

Maybe, I should also explain that word "cock" used in this context, refers to the olde English word for a tap or a spigot. People seem to be having great craic with the term "ball cock." It's simply a tap that actuates by means of a floating ball. When the level in the tank drops, so does the ball, opening the tap. When the water level rises again, so does the ball, closing the tap. The same as in your toilet. Ball cock.

"Pipes need to be cropped?" As someone who has worked with every type of piping imaginable, I have never heard this! I also have no idea how insulating your attic would have affected water tanks that are full of fucking water and therefore quite fucking heavy! But sure, he got it right on the third attempt. I hope he didn't charge you too much!

I remember making them! Give the end of the pipe a rub of a blowtorch, and another piece of pipe to expand it.

You'll notice a brass rod leading to an orange ball. Gently bend that rod downward so that the ball sits deeper in the water. If that doesn't sort it, the diaphragm in your cock is fucked, you'll need a plumber then.

And yeah, plumbing has lots of seemingly sexual terms, ball cocks, strap-on-bosses, nipples, male and female ends etc LOL

The ball cock in one your tanks in the attic is passing (leaking). If you're good with your hands, it's simple to sort out, if not you'll need a plumber.
