    Just taken delivery of Gary's Squier P. Very easy transaction with the one causing all the problems being me making up my mind, then sorting collection. Very easy bloke to deal with & good comms so we both knew where we were. Cheers Al

    ...and it's here. Now I just have to wish I wasn't tied up doing other things for the next two nights & unable to give it a proper blast. Need to pull it apart for the tarty mirror plate to be made now. Just call me Phil

    The two I have seen from yesterday so far I am the one at the back on bass who appears to have eaten all the pies and is nodding along to the tracks out of time - though I have kidded myself into thinking that is the difference beween the speed of light & sound to the camera (yeah right!) Currently falling out of love with everything I'm involved in

    Horsham Festival of Sound, Carfax Stage. 15 minute changeovers & 45 minute sets, but amazinly they all seemed to work & run to time. Took my rig, but if we get to do it again may not bother as the Behringer rig was actually sounding pretty good Being prog we managed to clear the place - well not quite - but it seemed to go pretty well, if in a blur. Everything seemed reeeeealyy fast, but actually looking back at bits of video about so far it was about right. Set timed to perfection Chatted to one BC'er. Finished off the night watching Mainly Madness who had the crowd bopping.

    [quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1346548228' post='1790525'] Which gig was that? Not what used to be the John Peel (can't remember it's new name). Used to be a great gig in the 70's & 80's. We went back there last year & a complete waste of time for all concerned. [/quote]Carisbrook is what I was thinking but I se it was the White Horse. Used to be some good gigs down that way, but people just don't seem to go out anymore. Smoking ban probably hasn't helped, though it helped meas I gave up 26 years ago and really hated coming home smelling like an ashtray after gigs

    Now there's interesting for small gigs & r/h's

    Used the Boss CE20 (currently for sale in my sig below) that allows you to store 4 patches and have a 5 manual optio. That is good, though a double pedal so a bit larger than normal. Currently using an EBS Unichorus that I really like. A smidge on the doubling setting sounds good with the fretless

    Dan, Has Saurus bitten the dust or is this as well? I've now added PK5 & DSI Mopho to my arsenal of gear, but you know what Ican/can't do from before. Good luck

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1346359477' post='1788415'] The pub will be fairly flexible on the gig dates I'm sure and a couple of gigs there will be handy to get us started anyway. [/quote]So that's your NYE gigs sorted then

    Anyone else playing this? [url="http://www.festivalofsoundhorsham.co.uk/"]Festival of Sound[/url] - [url="http://www.festivalofsoundhorsham.co.uk/epsilon/"]Epsilon[/url] I am due to play the Carfax Bandstand @ 19:00 with my proggy lot, but hope to get up for the day & a wander to see what else is on

    [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1346480202' post='1789665'] Awesome, so simple and so effective, does it have a low action? [/quote]Yup that's pretty low. I like my basses set that way, despite the way I play it's very easy to play. Was starting to waver on letting this go last night, but I have to be sensible. 1 in / 1 out & I REALLY cannot justify 5 basses for the amount of gigging I am doing at the mo! So go it must

    Sorry to hear that chap. Not had it yet - though am expecting something similar with one (could be wrong) - but I did spend a few days chuckling at the dirty washing that got aired on FB when the funky band my drummer is with ditched their female vocalist.. Top tip. - Don't take it out on FB, it does noone any good, even if it makes you feel better at the time. Tell anyone who asks you what went on if you like, just dont make a huge fuss on social network sites - IMO obviously

    [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1346437033' post='1789303'] I listened to your sounds and I love the sound of this, can I ask what effects gave you that please? I'm considering your bass... [/quote]Tom It was recorded into Mackie Tracktion on my Mac throught an EBS Microbass II (but using that purely as a DI switched to pre EQ) to a Novation nio 2|4 into Mackie Tracktion. All that has been added is a smidge of plate reverb with IKMultimedia CSR Plate reverb on the Vintage Plate default patch on a low level send on the fingerstyle versions. So bar the reverb it was recorded completely flat, volume & tone controls full up on the bass & then three versions sweeping from the J pup on its on, to both on the centre detent on the pup pan pot, to the P on its own A

    Slow?

    WalMan replied to geoffbyrne's topic in Site News

    Me too - the slowness of the site that is. Thought it might be work & lunchtime, but it has been lagging quite a bit each time I have been on tonight

    [quote name='Paulgm1' timestamp='1346360142' post='1788426'] Gillan - Southampton Gaumont with John McCoy on bass. All I remember is it being bloody loud! [/quote]Ditto at the Bognor Regis Centre Legend has it that their soudcheck started & less than a minute later the council switchboard lit up

    Goodness!! I was searching on Precision Bass & found [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-GDR-MADE-PRECISION-BASS-WITH-MARTIN-NASH-ARTWORK-FRONT-BACK-MARLIN-SLAMME-/130755443065?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e71a1b979"]THIS[/url] Interesting design, but it's a Marlin Slammer so presumably you're paying for the artwork rather than the bass?
