  1. Past hour
  2. Ive always found at Glastonbury its great when there's an enormous act on the main stage, it makes it easy to get to the front at any of the other stages. Ive never enjoyed performances on the pyramid stage, its too big there and even if you get to the front you're still a long way from the stage and sound isn't great at the front

  4. The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm
  5. Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!

  7. Make sure you have good monitoring if you use the Labella tapes as they get buried in a mix very easily, Rotosound are better in this regard though they are noticeably stiffer feeling.
  8. DR Sunbeam Nickel plated steel roundwound strings, 45-105, for 4 string electric bass. Bought new, cut for Precision, played for no more than half an hour. Nice well balanced tone and relatively smooth to the touch for rounds. Round core. Selling as I prefer flats these days. They are like new with all original packaging. £20 posted to UK address
  9. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the fingerboard turned out to be ebony. I think most of them were on the 320/325 series. The body is probably Sen Ash so the bass should be fairly light.
  10. Haha - now you might not think it misleading if your bandmates wrote their particular parts, but how about Elvis - didn't write any of his own stuff (co-authored a few)? Tbf he never claimed otherwise = full disclosure? And apparently audiences weren't too fussed?! (See earlier comment about performer / audience interaction surviving AI).
  11. As you get older recall becomes as issue, whereas stuff you played 40 years is still burnt into you. For me, at the start of anything new, I always went off rough tabs during rehearsals, very much a case of walking before you run. Tabs then go away after a couple of weeks and you just fumble through the next couple, then it becomes muscle memory. There's no tricks or tips here, it's just how and what it is.
  12. Great link/ thank's
  13. At Glastonbury a few years ago, Beyoncé was on the main stage and it was absolutely rammed on the field, me, I wandered off to see the rather wonderful Suzanne Vega on the Acoustic stage, stood only feet away from someone who’s music I have adored since the first album. Happy days.
  14. I was playing the garden stage at the Isle of Wight festival in 2011 while the Manic Street Preachers were on the big top stage. And it was peeing down at the time.
  15. Yes, yes and yes!! I've been lucky enough to work with a wide range of students for many, many years - those at school, retirees, SEND, those with greater complex and specialised needs and even groups of sufferers of dementia. I slammed like on your post! I'm also a fan of that lil quote by that chap who was quite good with science: “If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.”
  16. theguitarshow.co.uk I'll be there Sunday, my first music show of any kind, so getting excited already. I'm planning on taking my main bass to try out effects and whatnot. Anyone going, fancy meeting up there? Would be so good to meet fellow BCers in person.
  17. Full disclosure labelling. I like that! So for example: My Generation - P. Townsend (didn't write the bass line) Every breath you take - G. Sumner (didn't write the guitar part) Etc.
  18. I've spent far more than I really should on a couple of tickets in Manchester. They'd better play Dog Years.

  20. This 100% and as I was always told, its not the students fault that they don't understand what they are being taught, it just means the teacher hasn't explained it in a way that the student can understand. Its not always that simple or black and white as you do get students who don't want to learn or can't learn for one reason or another but the emphasis should be on the teacher to understand their students and their learning style.

    What Jet did next

    The designers are clearly heretics and should be burned. The website states that the pickups are custom-made by YHL (for both the P and J 5ers) but I haven't heard of them.
  22. Thanks for the contributions. On the topic of 50-105's vs 60-115's though? (Certainly, I can try tapes on another bass - granted).
  23. Today
  24. Absolutely, one size definitely does not fit all - an argument often levelled at mainstream school teaching in general. However, on a 1-2-1 basis, if lessons are 'too restrictive' or 'hold a student back', then that is the teacher at fault. They haven't understood the students needs or are not experienced enough to cater to those needs. That said, personal drive is necessary for progress and if the horse doesn't want to be led to water or accept the water is there to help them..
  25. Trapped my sciatic nerve just looking at this, but it is aesthetically beautiful!
  26. Well the first thing anyone wants to do is play their favourite songs, but I don't think just learning songs is the best way. I would learn some basic theory such as intervals and chords, proper fretting and plucking and holding the bass(including minimising injuries), learn the fretboard well, learn notation(not tabs). This way puts more meaning to the songs that you want to learn, and you can understand why a song is played the way it is. Being able to transcribe is also a massive plus.
