I tried that. Debbie Does Dallas is taken. 

Yeah it does depend who’s dvd collection you’re going through 😝 

I usually go through Someone’s DVD collection and normally find a suitable name.

Souljacker pt1 by Eels. Has a great simple grooving bass line that just changes key the once.

Like it, had a real NIN vibe from the Pretty Hate years. 👍🏼

Brilliant seller, just love the thing.
 

worst

would absolutely own another in a heartbeat and it was a lovely bass (after a lot of work)

The Guy I bought it from was vile and the experience totally cocked it up for me. Sold it at a loss. 

 

Let me know when you want to part with the sparkle. What hardware has it got??

A few different looks over the past few months.

I seem to remember the lead singer from Eat not only get naked but he stage dived into the crowd at the Phoenix festival.

I use my nose to turn the page if its more than one, I'm so professional lol

I purchased my modulus from a guy in Italy through BC.  Never met him before, but put over £2k in his account hoping a decent bass would turn up.  Sure enough it arrived as stated and I’ve been as happy as a pig in 💩 ever since.  If you want a bass bad enough you’ll take a bigger risk.  Sound the seller out,  see the tone and quality of their previous posts etc and good luck.

This topic has been done to death (which doesn’t usually stop us doing it again on BC 😕 ), but it obviously depends on how you like your strings to sound.

Arguably making the biggest difference out of any component of your overall sound, not surprisingly it’s different strokes for different folks.

Personally I love the zing of brand new strings. Rich, bright and harmonic. Whilst my stings may not sound dead for a number of months after they stop sounding brand new, I still prefer the fresh on sound.

I don’t change them every time I play obviously, but if money (and the dubious ethics of discarding that number of strings) were no object I would 😊

For now it’s new ones for every gig and every 2-3 rehearsal (few more on the fretless) if I don’t gig in between. Which is a less daunting financial proposition now I’ve switched to Newtone Diamnonds from TI Jazz rounds 😕.

😲 What do you do with all your strings?  If you only gig them once and bin them, I’ll take them off your hands 😝

It is just a song that is well known And gives the average drunk punter a chance to wail some lyrics, simple as

These were the 2 years I went to Reading.  Either popular music has become softer or the nature of the Reading festival has changed cos the lineups I went there for were somewhat different 😝

Bollox, I didnt even know they're over here. I'd have gone to see them in a trice. Saw them at Download in 2017 and they were the best act of the festival IMO

Yeah it’s the third time I’ve seen them and they’ve got better each time. I’m still aching all over and bruised, they make you forget how old you are 😂 

👍🏼 

Super night at Shepherd’s Bush Monday to see Prophets of Rage, the band and crowd was in fine form!

Sounds great, I'd have ripped those tables out tho and cleared an area to dance, gives people an excuse to sit there and foot tap if there's tables set up in front of the band.

I’m only down the road in Herne bay so I’ll sure pop down when I have funds to part with.  Good luck with the venture. Looks great!

What an amazing thread!  I say amazing, I mean dangerous. I had thought I’d quashed my GAS and then I find this thread!!  Anyway here’s my single ray that ever owned, bought new in 94 and still in nearly new condition, gigged heavily but treasured.  I’m on the lookout for  matching 5 but unsure I can handle the extra weight...

My current rig.  Gets me the tones I need to cut through nicely in my function band.  A lightweight rig for me as I’ve had old skool TE gear for many years.  Might have to add a 4x10 cab at some point but more than happy with what I got.  My only GAS is for a Wal.....

Only time I used JMB was to audition someone and he ended up nicking my flight case with my cables, leads,some pedals, mics and all my guitar tool accessories. Still waiting to come across the little nasty pasty again.

I think the best way to find musicians or bands is to use local music shops if you have them, chat to owners/people working there, put a card up etc.  Other ways could be local jam nights, or going to see bands on the local circuit, chat to them and punters.

good luck

I’d only need it for gigs, borrowing an xvive off the guitarist at the moment but it likes my modulus but not my ray.

don't know whether you saw my earlier post about the flimsy power supply socket, it will probably fail without some sort of support bracket, both me and the guitarist had to do this, apart from that it is an excellent unit with no other issues that I have found even when we were both using them at the same time

Yes thanks I did see that and will no doubt have to do the same thing, it’s a silly thing to have to do but the design and operation apart from that seems perfect

Think I’ll be going for the line 6 G10, the ease of use and the clever way it charges up is a winner for me.

It’s possible to have the best time there without going to any of the main stages. When I used to go many years ago all the entertainment began when the main stages ended....
