All Activity

Did a dep gig for The Bonnevilles at bike night at Darley Moor. All went well and I suspect they'll be rebooked at the agreed higher amount (and the regular bassist will benefit!). Forgot to take a long lead and my MS-60B fell off the amp so finished up going Sei Flamboyant fretted 5 -> Lekato WS-90 wireless -> Tecamp Puma 900 -> GR Bass AT212. My leather waistcoat with all the bike badges on has shrunk. Feets were encased in Caravelle memory foam trainers, as always.

The Grill From Ipanema - Astrud Gilberto

I would hate to contradict you but an ex Pino signature Stingray fretless (his spare one) sold via the Bass Gallery for getting on for that figure. I think they’re only making 15 of the exact copies of Pino’s bass. The other ones (fretted or fretless) are not relicked but are to the exact same spec as Pino’s bass, as it was when new and at the lower (£3700) price.

Actually, “they” have - available via the configurator on the Custom Design Experience for a year or more! However…… only as a Stingray Special. The Pino Palladino one has the 2 band preamp, of course.

Sunset Grill - Don Henley

I'd like to try one. I'd be interested to see what the asymmetric neck feels like. Bit of a cheek not supplying a hard case for that price.

His one of my favourite!!! Just finished watching this and came to share. Glad you shared this gold of a video.

Bake It With You - Bread

In my experience, they pretty much always do...!

Pedulla MPV 5 string fretted pj. Would be very difficult to replace, even if I could afford to.

Big Pino Palladino fretless player fan here, and for those who are astonished by the use of poplar as body wood, CLF who were building the Music Man instruments up to very late 1979 (November), when Leo Fender left (CLF), have been using poplar intensively back then, just like they were finishing the instruments in nitrocellulose, polyester and polyurethane finish upon what was available... So a quite ugly multi pieces unmatched poplar body was the norm and Pino's signature model has it ... sadly.

Post an example of the type of overdrive you're after, it'll make it so much easier to make suggestions!

Marmite Told Me Not To Come - The Stereophonics

Believe it or not, Smoke on the water 😂😎. Last time i played it in public i was at school.

Ive always thought it makes sense for the band members to call the final shots over the monitors. After all, they are the ones that will be using them.

I have the 115MkII, which works fine for practice and small club gigs. MkII has two freely configurable tone print slots but only one of the can be active so I can select 1, 2 or none. As I understand the MkI you can select 1, 2, both or none which is one combination more. Which is better depend on your needs. The BG250 115 sounds fine an is reasonably light and reasonably loud.

Nurse! Nurse! 🫨

Full Maple Road Festival Gig this coming Saturday night. We'll close the event with an 8:30 start. Daryl

Good Lord, it gets worse! £8000! 🤣

One of my concerns about sound checks is guys that check your monitor from the house. Shouldn't they check it on stage while the band is playing? Daryl
