  1. Past hour
  2. The 2 best B strings I've played, I own. A Vigier Excess 5 and a Spector Euro LX 5. I'd give the edge to the Spector if you twisted my arm. Only have GAS for more Spector's now... Honourable mention to the Stingray 5 I had in the late 90s which had an OUTSTANDING B string. I've tried a few including custom builds from Shuker and ACG, Dingwall AB1, Fender RB5, MM Bongo, Lakeland, Sire... None were awful but I'm coming round to the idea that stiffness of the neck is rather more important than scale length to a good B string.
  3. In my defence I was young, inexperienced and foolish, but essentially, yes - I buggered off! I left all my gear and went back for it under the cover of darkness (well, late afternoon).
  4. This and the passive Warwick are going well. the Free The Tone EQ is such a cool pedal
  5. Our new single "Adore Me" is out now on all your favourite streaming and download sites: Bandcamp link
  6. I’ve had my XR18 about 18 months now. About the same time I got a lap steel with palm levers and had to learn an open tuning. They both had a steep learning curve but I started using the XR18 on rehearsals within a month, whereas I’ve just done my first lap steel gig. Even so, I keep finding things with the XR18 that I’m either doing wrong or could be doing better. I mainly use Mixing Station as it allows you to group together the controls you actually need on a couple of screens, plus I can set up other band members so that only mess up their own monitor mix! I occasionally use X-Air at home for deep dives to check what I’m doing. The biggest problem I have found with Mixing Station is locations where there is little or no Internet. MS then decides that one or more users doesn’t have an iOS Pro licence and we have to go somewhere with Internet to refresh the licence. It’s a right palaver doing that 4 times in a row before playing a note!
  7. Yet another example of a Drummer having bad timing...
  8. How is this still here? Absolute steal at this price.
  9. Don't blame us, we don't have a lot going on in our lives outside of Basschat. Pleased it went well.
  10. And there is even one in the ads here:
  11. Maybe it needs two posts in 20 forums?
  12. One of the Levy’s straps now sold. Still got the other one and the Fender strap folks…
  13. Location: Teesside (N.E.)
  14. By the way @Amando, check the Alembic basses as their "entry level" models resale at the price you're willing to pay and these have the thunderous low B you're looking for plus an extraordinary note definition and if you find a model with one or two Q filter(s), you'll be over the moon.
  15. They are well used as they have done many gigs, so some corners are chipped and the fabric covering is worn in places, but they have always been transported and stored in the good quality padded covers made by Hot Covers that are included in the sale. They work flawlessly. 15" (381mm) speaker with 3" (76mm) voice coil 4 Ohms 300 Watts RMS continuous, 600 Watts program Frequency response: 45 Hz - 300 Hz Efficiency: 98dB Two 1/4" (6.35mm) jack and two Neutrik® Speakon® sockets High pass output for mid/high frequency satellite Resilient carpet covered Black steel grille Satellite pole mounting Teardrop handles Only selling as we have moved to an RCF active PA for live work. For obvious reasons, these are collection only. NB: STOCK IMAGE USED. PHOTOS OF THE ACTUAL SUBS WILL FOLLOW THIS WEEKEND.
  16. Maybe it's the 20th post in 2 forums when hitting the enter key exactly at the same exact precise moment. Only Peter Noone could do that, well done, mate.
  17. What is amazing @proy900 is the stupid answer from Darkglass... How dare they answer that as almost everything is always fixable electronically speaking (yes, it's been my job at some time, among others), furthermore as it was the power module, it's even more stupid as a simple swap fixed this. That said I've repaired a lot of these power modules, but must be the only idiot still doing this as a swap is way faster and easier. All this confirms that I will NEVER buy any of their products as I never trusted the brand marketing...
  18. All great CDs btw. I'd grab the lot, except I already have them.
  19. Very well put together US-published book of in-depth interviews with guitarists based on a TV documentary. Refreshingly, not all are the usual suspects. Rarely seen here. 300 pages, very good condition. £13 posted UK. Now just £10
  20. For anyone who hasn’t heard this, it’s superb, good luck mickey
  21. The drummer in our band gave us notice that he wanted to leave because we weren't making any money; he had previously played in covers bands and made a few quid every gig... So we got in touch with an old mate who was between bands, he was very happy to be asked to join, so we told old drummer who was pleased, and we agreed that our next gig would be his last. On the night of that gig, while we were on stage actually, we got an email saying we'd been accepted for Rebellion. And old drummer threw his toys out of the pram - accused us of knowing in advance and forcing him out, then stormed off and immediately unfriended us all on FB as did his wife and daughter. He's recently re-friended me, wants to know how everything is going with the band, possibly in the hope that everything's worse without him. Which it isn't - different but not in a bad way, in fact better in some ways, and slightly worse in others... Still, life's too short for ridiculous grudges!
  22. Today
  23. It wasn't a band as such as there was no singer and it never got out of the practice room. The guitarist especially was really unpleasant. We auditioned a singer to do originals. Great voice. After she left at the end of the audition the guitarist and drummer slagged her off for being "clueless" in the attempt she made. I pointed out she wasn't a mind reader as they'd not given any guidance as to what they wanted. A few weeks later I was told that the project was on hold as the guitarist had too many family commitments. The dopey pair forgot about social media though. I found out I'd been replaced a few days later on Facebook. I contacted the guitarist and had my longest swear rant at him. Another band, the singer told us she was leaving after our first gig as she was moving away. We had possibly 2 more gigs before she left which she would do. Next gig, a set list is produced and it's minimal. I said I was concerned there wasn't enough material on it. Was told we'd pad it out with tuning up and talking. I said I thought that was cr@p. All hell broke loose, and ended with me telling them to sod off and I wasn't doing the gig.
  24. When I was younger, I had pictures of BC Rich, Warlocks and Buzzards as my desktop background, so was definitely in to a bit more ostentatious basses. I still like to do things a bit differently. Whether it be a Yamaha BB over a Fender PJ or a Reverend over Fender, that type of thing.
