From a looong time ago, in pre hipshot & passive mode on the Wal (before it was upgraded to Custom electrics) but I bloody love the sound on this Also the crafty detune on the fly around 4 mins in - so much easier with the Hipshot but not a bad retune mid song even so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLw3UDJnVqk EDIT: Not sure why it's not showing in a play box now. I'm sure I used to just post the 'Watch' link & it worked in the past

Bugger! That's now three things I'm missing due to holidays ... still it's HOLIDAYS so it can't all be bad

[quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1406530129' post='2512074'] Tip of the day! Never wander off the set list, when you have tuned to Drop D, for the number you have just done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Panic and a lot of quick thinking. . . . . . . even that didn't really rescue me! Anyone else confess to this? [/quote]Get yourself a Hipshot. Flick. Done. Just been looking at a video from 89 pre Hipshot on the Wal & I noticed that at the end of one song where I wanted to run down to D in the final part of the song I just retuned as we went and pretty much hit it spot on ... well certainly spot on enough for live. Quite chuffed looking back at it (I am currently in major nostalgia '5H1T we were tight ...' sigh where did it all go wrong mode) EDIT: of course I have already been beaten to the D-tuner option/hint

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH CR@P! I am going to miss this after all as I have to go to the Wirral this weekend I think there's a Streamliner coming anyway, but I can leave the Tonehammer 350 with Nik to plug in if anyone wants a listen to that. I could also leave the keyboard, Korg bass pedals & synth if anyone wanted a play with that I 'spose. I'll have to wait for the SE Bash at the end of the year

[quote name='julietgreen' timestamp='1405975853' post='2507214'] Yeah but maybe we played it badly! And then we play bloody Guns N Roses, Sweet blah blah... and everyone loves it. [/quote]Fear not. The punters sadly know sweet FA in most instances, just what they want to hear that every other band does Walked off a month or so after a car wreck of a first set dep (definitely NOT all down to me by a looooooong shot) as was told by most of the crowd how brilliant we were. That was a night I came close to giving up after, even though the second set got slightly better!!

Currently having fun with[list] [*]Thunder - Dirty Love & Backstreet Symphony [*]Little Angels - Too Much Too Young & Way That I Live [*]Rival Sons - Pressure and Time (where the triplet loop kills me at rehearsal, but Saturday night just flowed) [*]Queen- Now I'm Here (and what possessed me to say over the intro guitar chug in cod strine "Kin ya till wut it is yit?". I 'spose I can't do that anymore) [*]Chickenfoot - Dubai Blues (easy but keeping the space and getting a bit funky with the drummer was good) [/list] Probably not very difficult, and not well known enough (mostly) but with the right crowd in a receptive frame of mind bloody good fun. The Queen song in particular went an absolute storm as the second set closer DAMN was it fun & still on a little adrenaline/good gig bubble I've not had often enough recently. Now wait for my second gig report without the friendly crowd to hear the downside

First full gig with the new drummer, and the old drummer (who is will a great mate) was there as well, so the fact that it was a good night was pleasing. Aggie & Super12 sounding particularly wonderful with the L2500. Some new songs some old (very old for us for some) but all went well and with a friendly crowd was a great star for the new lineup. From a long layoff and a tail end of the previous lineup that got 'difficult' with pussyfooting around song wise we have got back to more what we're happy with and the fun was back again - noticed & commented on by MrsW

Unfortunately I sold my BH250 the day before I got the first email about these ... DOH!

I have a Streamliner 600 which is a great warm amp and have just acquired a TH350 for smaller gigs. Loving both of them even though I'm still getting the sound on the TH350 at the mo. Used the 350 for all this weekend's gigs and it was sounding nice. Think I should really be changing the Elixirs to get it fully sorted. Currently in the do I need to change them or not window

Not sure I really need one. Definitely for the Streamliner, as it has something similar built in already, but possibly for use with the Aggie?

Got the Gruv Gear Duo installed on the L2500's & Wal now for any with knackered shoulders who want a try & see how they work. Managed a 3 hour r/h Monday night & could still walk & function without painkillers the next day!!! So I'm loving it at the mo, even if it has worked out a tad on the expensive side. Health not wealth!

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1401740075' post='2466455'] How's this going to differ from the usual format? We'll plug this at the Herts Bash too and hope that we can raise the numbers too... [/quote]It'll be a much smaller affair. It's a little country village hall that you could probably fit into the main hall at the SE Bash a couple of times over Just wondering Nik, will the cricket season be over by then or might it be out as a venue ... and will be getting a visit from Grouty's boys up the road if we make too much noise!?

I really should log in / come back more regularly!! See you there 01. Silverfoxnik 02. JapanAxe 03. KiOgon 04. kristinaelias 05. WalMan 06 07. 08. 09 10.

Another fun night of prog @ The Holbrook Club along with hAND, but some [b][u][i]REALLY[/i][/u][/b] wierd gremlins. MIDI cable between the bass pedals & keyboard came loose during the first set. All the cables were neat & tight to start with and I was hardly rocking the keyboard like Jon Lord or Keith Emerson Then at the end of the second set for no obvious reason between the end of Day for Night & Roundabout the second stage input gain pot on the Streamliner got turned from 12 o'clock to off. So the bass went and I could not see why in the panic of wondering WTF!!!? That pot is relatively inaccessible to accidental adjustment and nothing else changed so HOW THE #### DID THAT HAPPEN!? Spent most of Roundabout trying to work out what had happened & ended up plugginf the amp DI XLR into the Wal, which got something going, though I could not hear what I was playing an nbothing was coming through the monitors

[quote name='Gary Williams' timestamp='1399373940' post='2443494'] I use the Ernie Ball straplocks on the Duostrap and they squeezed on just about.... [/quote]Oh dear more expense. Sorry to divert this thread further re the use of the Duo, but do you swap it around basses & is so how much of a faff is resetting for each one? Last slightly OTQ I promise!!

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1399317888' post='2443118'] Would still like to see Epsilon sometime, ever get beyond Watford gap? [/quote]Would love to mate. LA on Saturday was the first time we've played more than 5 miles outside Horsham since I joined Would have been nice to have a few more bodies in the venue, but it wasn't too bad & response was generally favourable. Good thing is the chap who is there for most every gig & does photos & multicam vids. His pics are really good and the vids aren't too bad either

[quote name='Gary Williams' timestamp='1399217353' post='2442154'] Thanks Walman - I got pretty good results with the (cheaper neoprene not leather) Duo strap but had to do a bit of research. I didn't want to drill another strap button onto the back of my basses so I was left with the remaining option of using the canvas strap that stretches between the 2 strap buttons on the bass (left to right) and use the leather loop to support the right shoulder strap. This canvas strap was a so flimsy it felt quite loose so I ordered the leather version of this strap from BassGear in the UK for £8 or something (which comes as standard with the more expensive leather Duostrap) and this made this left to right support much more rigid so I got a usable setup with this strap. I did struggle getting more weight onto the right shoulder strap than the left shoulder strap without the bass shifting sideways into an unnatural playing position.... But to anyone who bought the cheaper Neoprene version of the Duostrap, I highly recommend to upgrade to the leather version of this "left to right" strap. BassGear stock these and as I said, only £8 or so. [/quote]Bugger I ordered the nylon strap with it rather than the leather as I thought that the strap locks I use wouldn't fit the leather verson May have to go back to Dunlops to fit

... And the evidence from the night of prog in General Henry's, LA (that's Lil'Ampton to you mate) Epsilon - Time (Pink Floyd) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptxnsC24UR4
