JPJ started following End of an era
-
So yesterday I sold the last of my SWR gear. This ends what has been a thirty plus year obsession with the brand, started by my love of the bass playing of John Paul Jones. Over the years I have owned and gigged: 1) Black Beauty combo 2) Black Beauty combo with Workingmans 210 3) 750x head with Goliath III (4x10) and Son of Bertha (1x15) 4) 750x head with two Goliaths 5) Grand Prix preamp (twice) 6) SM1500 head with two Goliaths 7) SM1500 head with one Goliath Senior (6x10) 8).SM1500 with one Goliath 9) SM900 with one Goliath 10) Marcus Miller preamp (twice) 11) Marcus Miller preamp with Amplite poweramp (the setup I should have kept). I know that Fender swallowed up the SWR brand and then promptly did nothing with it, but boy would I love an SWR pedal sized preamp with the semi-parametric EQ and the famous aural enhancer (marmite to many),

Help - I have fallen for Velvet Animas
olihayhurst replied to adriansmith247's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Yes, Tempera strings are not cheap but I am currently loving the hybrids! Stupidly easy to bow. They seem to do what Evahs claim to but are so much nicer. Rufus Reid uses them and he was on Animas before so I guess they are similar. I was a Velvet Garbo fan back in the day. -
The joys of promoting your band on social media to friends
SteveXFR replied to Cat Burrito's topic in General Discussion
I was listening to the What Makes This Song Stink (Lenny Kravitz special episode) podcast yesterday. It included a spoof advert for bandcamp which used the slogan "...because three of your friends have to listen to half of one of your songs somewhere" seems accurate to me. -

redd started following Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170
-
£250 plus postage (probably about 12-15 quid, it's quite heavy). Brilliant piece of kit. I used it with various amp modellers and preamps. Sits comfortably on a pedal board and powers cabs of your choosing. Condition is good. There are a couple of superficial marks on it. The fan in this is fairly loud so if you've never heard one It can be quite disconcerting when it fires up! It has double lock stuck on the back at the moment but I can remove and clean if that's a requirement. I'll be sorry to see this go but it's become surplus to requirements and I'm trying to follow my new year's resolution! Thanks for looking, Andy Specifications Product Title: Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 Product Code: 11901-002 General Power: 170 W @ 4 Ohms Channels: 1 Output Impedance: 4-8 Ohms Controls: Bass, Mid, Treble, Level (Master Volume) Level: 0 dB to 47 dB Treble Control: +/- 13 dB @6.61 kHz Mid Control: +/- 13 dB @712 Hz Bass Control: +/- 13 dB @87 Hz Inputs: 1 x 1/4'' Outputs: 1 x 1/4'' Length: 5'' (127 mm) Dimensions Height: 5.24'' (133 mm) Depth: 2.84'' (72 mm) Weight: 0.9kg (2lbs)

Choose a 5 string bass for £500 (ish)
Cornwall Steve replied to Cornwall Steve's topic in Bass Guitars
Terry, I should have asked you yesterday when you (very kindly) flagged up the BTB805 in florid natural, have you ever played a BTB ideally one of the later models. If so, what did you think? -
That might be referring to the fact that the “speed” option in the pitch tracking priority mode can now be used in the mode out too (previously it defaulted to “accuracy and so was a bit slower).

How was your open mic or jam night last night?
tauzero replied to tauzero's topic in General Discussion
Had a pretty full card tonight. Postponed from a couple of weeks ago as the organiser was unwell, there was a fairly small number of performers and as that included one drummer and one bass player, we were quite in demand - plus me playing guitar for Mrs Zero for four songs, and then we got called back for another couple later. We have another open mic night with the same organisers tomorrow night too. -

Here you go... Noble with flat EQ followed by Luce. Noble is about 4/5db louder in this setting.

Harley Benton flats - they're a bit good!
TheLowDown replied to mcnach's topic in Accessories and Misc
I think they're awesome and can't be beaten for price. All my basses use only HB strings now, i don't see the point in spending silly money on other brands when the HB strings do their job well enough for me. - Yesterday

LukeFRC started following P / L-1000 kit bitsa build
-
having owned a L1000 and played L2000 ... I would use the L1000 passive bass treble and OMG wiring for it - it's' great.
-
I had come to that conclusion myself - with the added thought that I could drill a couple of the speaker mounting holes to hold the batten.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
zbd1960 replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
I attended the rehearsal this evening of a local (adjacent town) brass band - they've asked me to be their conductor. My main aim this evening was just to listen to them, but I did end up conducting some of the rehearsal. Looks like I start properly next week.... there's a full diary of concerts and gigs.... eek. -
