Would this be what you're thinking of. Our very own @woodyratm I think 🤔 Now where did I put that piggy bank / kids inheritance? 🤣 ....and even rarer is a JD Calibas. I've only ever seen 1 in the flesh, which I owned, and one 6 stringer advertised in the last 30+ years.

Fantasy Island - M People

I was at that gig too Steve, yeah sound not that great but was pleased to see them as always thought there was just something "more" to them than a lot of the other bands around at the time.

Wonderland - Big Country

I’m not sure I quite understand your first sentence?! In that case, you’re not making the amp break-up, you’re just introduce a drive circuit before it, which is then being amplified. The test would be putting a significant clean boost in front of the amp capture, and seeing if that drives it. With no horse in the race, I too would not expect an amp capture to break-up, as it doesn’t have the information to do that in the same way a dynamic, controllable effect does, it’s just a snapshot of a single sound. I’d probably expect digital clipping (bad) before you achieved anything useable. But happy to be proven wrong of course. Si

As used by John Deacon and John Entwistle, among others.

I saw Supergrass open for Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium many years ago. They were great but the sound sucked. They're all local to me and quite often see one or more of them out at local gigs in town. It's nice to see seriously successful pros out enjoying amateur local bands playing in a pub/park/festival.

Earthwood ABGs.

My Lionel is ash body, 3.8kg / 8.4 lbs. Not the lightest, but fine for me. Could be lighter, yeah...

It's still a big lottery for £250 when you can get 2 proper Harley Bentons for that price...

Has anyone actually been “triggered” by this? World gone mad.

Nah just bass cab, bass and some clothes..

Was hoping for "bass cab in the hold" experience

Final rehearsal last night for the folk and cider festival gig on Saturday night. Ran through the full one hour set without major issues, plus tea and biscuits afterwards. Apart from playing through the songs, it gave me a last opportunity to sort out a few issues before the gig, including setting the volume balances between the two Uke basses I'm going to be using. With one having the poly strings and the other has phosphor bronze, there's a slight difference between the two, so for ease of switching mid-set, just had to back the PB strung Uke back a little to match the poly strung one (couple of slower songs mid-set that sound lots better with a more upright bass type sound). Looking forward to the gig now, on at 8pm for an hour, so a fair amount of the cider should have been consumed by the crowd by then. Total gear load in for me will be the two ukes in a Fusion double Uke case, small pedalboard and my new DB Hype 8 in a small holdall - one trip to and from the car! 👍
