Demetori - SECRET GOD MATARA ~ Four seasons where Starless disappeared

it was me

Late again... Friday night we played The Parish in Huddersfield which is an amazing venue. Outstanding PA, crew, and sound. Great beer, and great food. Far too many songs in the set left me absolutely drenched and drained. 23 songs in an hour and 20. On the way home the other guys were saying "it flew by, we need more songs in the set". One of our fans posted some great photos on facebook so I've put a couple here Despite my protests there were 2 extra songs the following night. This was The Gifford in Wolverhampton and I am really starting to hate this venue. The PA is knackered. The landlord and pub staff don't want you there. The load in is horrible. The load out is worse. I enjoyed every minute on the stage and hated every minute off it. There are probably loads of photos and videos but I'd sooner forget it

I'm not really an 'open mic' attendee, but see posters for them about regularly, actually in town the main ones seem to be: The White Swan on Mill Road - Every Thursday The Alma - Third Sunday Venues I'd recommend to play / meet local bands . musos are mainly: SixSix Bar - The only real dedicated, grass roots venue in the city centre Portland Arms - Dedicated music venue, but just outside of town (crap parking, but well served by busses)

Not boring but surprisingly perplexing once you start looking into it - so many different sizes and specs to consider. I replaced the tuners on my MIM Player bass with Gotoh Resolite GB640. Not cheap but made of duralumin, so much lighter, vintage style with long shaft and with a large backplate which will probably cover any existing holes you may have.

On the one hand, things like the Brassmaster enclosure are silly. But also going too small is silly given what the pedals are used for. It's just asking for trouble having squeezing it all that much with delicate tiny dials and switches right next to something you stomp on. And those red dials and small switches are far too small to notice if they're in the wrong position (especially with this on the floor at a gig). The mini enclosure doesn't even really save much space when plugged in on a pedalboard compared with something like an Origin effects Cali 76 Compact (a well designed pedal enclosure).

Nice one, and a great outcome

😄 No problem!

Sold out Saturday so just a few tickets for Sunday left

Great news that its finally been returned. Nice looking bass too. Dave

I’m REALLY impressed with who is the exhibitors are. I’ll see if I can make it.

I'm getting very intrigued by the Monza. I'm typically gigging in small pubs using a pair of BF One10s driven by a Genzler Magellan 350. Despite playing with a reasonably loud drummer I find setting the volume at about 9 o'clock is usually enough. Some previous posts suggest a Monza can replace two One10s. Does my Magellan have enough power for this scenario, or am I going to need a beefier amp?

Off to the big blue bin in the sky, sorry Stevie

A$$ Back Home - Secrets

I'll be there Saturday

UPDATE 25/2/26 At last the bass has been returned to me. It took over 3 weeks since being spotted on an auction website, and I must say the auctioneers weren't very helpful at all, and wouldn't return phone calls or emails. I think the Police getting involved helped. It would have been very easy to find me if anyone had spent a few minutes googling. A receipt was inside the case with my details and the detail (name and address) of the person it was going to. I feel no effort was made to find the real owner - and saying it was lost/unclaimed is ridiculous. I'll leave it to the Police investigation to establish if there was any criminality involved, but I feel it passed through several hands before it got to the auction site, and these people had the opportunity to find out who really owned this expensive bass, but no effort was made. Someone was set to make several hundred pounds from its illegal sale. I have drawn my own conclusions..... Anyway, I'm very glad to have got it back. It's caused me a huge amount of stress, time and frustration (mainly stress)and I would like to again sincerely thank the person who contacted me with just hours remaining on the timed auction and alerted me. Also the Basschat community members who emailed Wellers Auctioneers in Guildford. I'm sure this really helped, so thank you. One last thing, the person it was made for has had a change of circumstance and is no longer in a position to buy it (I refunded his money in full as soon as I knew it was missing) which is fair enough, it's dragged on a long time with no guarantee I'd ever get it back. So it does mean it's now for sale, so if anyone is interested pls contact me for full specs and pics etc. Thanks again Basschat members......
