Sky Arts ,Worlds greatest Basslines .28/11/25
Lozz196 replied to martin8708's topic in General Discussion
Two things I really like from last nights episode were for one the appreciation from bassists re those who can do lead vocals when on bass, and secondly the comments from MADM about how much she enjoyed her role in a band when she didn’t have to do any vocals and could just play bass. I really get that, just sitting back and providing the groove/foundations for the song. -

Immaculate Barefaced SuperMini (silver cloth grill) with Barefaced padded cover. Less than a year old. I have two but just don’t need them both. In fact, have only used both together for one gig, hence moving this one on. This is the version without a tweeter. It’s incredibly small and light, sounds absolutely fantastic and goes loud. Tech specs are. Height: 17.5”. Width: 16.5”. Depth: 11”. Weight: 8.5kg (with cloth grill). Max amp power: 600w. Max output: 127db. Impedance: 8ohm. No trades thanks. Price includes shipping to locations within the UK. Collection is also possible, I live approximately 15 minutes from junctions 14 and 15 of the M1. Photos on the way once I’ve taken them.

We're in the same spot. Having to look out new venues for 2026. Clubs especially are finding it difficult selling tickets and turning a profit. What we don't want is playing the same venues too often as people get fed up seeing the same bands too often. We're also considering venues South of the border which are relatively easy reach for me. I'm 1 hr from Carlisle on M74. Newcastle also an option we're looking at. We had a few venues contact us last year from as far down as Brighton but the distances just weren't justified for one gig unless we charged silly money to include accomodation. Dave

Cheers Dave, you’re right, sometimes people are not up for it. We’re having a bit of a cull on venues for next year and looking at some new ones which keeps it interesting.

I remember the Art of Drumming series featured more than just rock drummers and was really interesting. Although I am glad it's been made, I think the heavy bias towards rock a bit unimaginative. -

They're rubbish!! or maybe you just don't like them
Stub Mandrel replied to police squad's topic in General Discussion
Seriously, I have basses with all levels of jack socket. My experience is that when the single spring returns to that position, it's got many years of useful life in it. I have instruments from the 60s, 70s and 80s with original sockets tgat look just like that. But yes I've seen that type fail and become noisy/intermittent, always a poorly tempered spring that takes a set and doesn’t return to its proper position. My experience suggests it usually happens fairly soon in the life of the instrument.. I happily accept there are good and bad quality examples, and visually they are virtually indistinguishable. YMMV, of course. -

Vocal Microphones, what are you using?

Would be posher if I was better at it! But good on Steve who made us try. -
Nord Electro 4D 61 Keyboard Weighted Waterfall SW61 Superb Nord Electro keyboard - this has all the classic acoustic and electro mechanical keyboards you could wish for for live and studio performances. Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, acoustic grands and uprights Hammond, Farfisa and Vox organs. It even has Mellotron and Chamberlain samples, plus strings, harps and guitars. This version also has drawbar control. It’s a classic in its own right but still updateable using the Nord site and sample library. Included is the keyboard, user manual, mains lead, damper pedal, sample library on CD plus a nice heavily padded gig-bag. I have added a custom ‘half moon’ switch to control the rotary speaker simulation from the keyboard rather than using a foot switch like an old Hammond. If you collect in person I’ll also include a stand. The price is non-negotiable and sorry no trades. It is feasible to post but only in the UK and at your cost and risk. See pics - I’ve not gigged it but have used it in rehearsals occasionally. To be honest it’s been used at home as a piano and the other wonderful sounds have been wasted! Selling as I use my old Korg live as I’m not worried about it being knocked about and I’m going to buy a simple piano for home use.

A Basschat Ukulele Bass sub section now needed?
miles'tone replied to miles'tone's topic in General Discussion
That's a good point Bleat and a great idea! Especially seeing as we also have the Gold Tone Micro Bass (when I'm richer 🤞...) which lands between the two. As an aside, feel free to hit me up on any ABG questions you may have. I've owned and gigged quite a few over the years and may have some useful insights on the matter. Always happy to help. Cheers 👍 -
So an update on this bass, after tinkering around this week getting it set up as I like earlier on this morning I played it for about an hour and a half, just along to fave songs on YouTube and when I put it down I was absolutely buzzing, I’d enjoyed playing it soooo much. Safe to say I consider this was a good purchase.
