looks like a cowboys billycan. Lots of love there i guess. do you have to intercept flying bottles on a regular bassis with the headstock. Nice one. are you sure the neck isn't older, I thought we were well into the numbers under the logo by then or did they stop a while.

Always had you down as a Lemon Cello 'n' tonic man

Pm'd

I mean, [b] Banned[/b] of course CSE English let me down again. I was offered a gig to play bass behind a curtain whilst a celebratory mimed on stage. I turned it down for lots of reasons as well as fear of a black eye if I Fccckt up.

I thought, " we gunna mime so lets not pay Pino, grab one of the game volunteers" Athletes have to train for four years to perform live and have blood tests in case they cheat, Then they plan a musical finale' in front of the world to celebrate British music, and crap miming should be band full stop.

Will you be running courses on talking to drummers and guitarists?

Your credit card company will charge you a poor exchange rate though. Just check what it is first so you don't get a suprise

Bump for a rainy night out

Nice to see you are talking about this. just to clarify. Fuses are there to protect the installation and equipment on the end being fed as Flyfisher was stating. No fuse or MCB (miniture circuit breaker) in a distribution board will save your life it is calculated to interupt the flow of current at a set value in a set time to protect equipment and cable. The RCD( residual current device) are designed to detect very small current losses not returning back down the neutral. This is why they are now used on showers and also all down stairs sockets if you have a new house. see below While any amount of current over 10 milliamps (0.01 amp) is capable of producing painful to severe shock, currents between 100 and 200 mA (0.1 to 0.2 amp) are lethal. This is why RCD's are usually designed at 30 mA you can get 10 mA sockets. Stay safe guys

We all need to be checking for venue wiring faults, we should treat it like tuning, as we would not go on without tuning up. Our Guitarist got a belt on Saturday night from his mouth on the mic, and back through his guitar. I am a bit annoyed as I am a spark and carry the kit to test this but don't always do so in plush new Hotels. But on checking after the gig, there was an earth fault on the socket his side of the stage. So any stray current in his rig used the earthed mic back through the desk to find its way home. Answer is get one of these cheap devices could save a life. oh ya and use it every gig

BigRed, that’s my finding too. Manufacturers do a disservice to themselves and the customer by thinking to put a cheap 5 string on the market compliments their product range. I view a five string bass as a different instrument, it needs to be approached in a different way and benefits from quality material selection and set up. But to answer the question yes quite a few 5 strings suffer from bad 'B's

You just needs some basses on there. it'll look fine. use different colour basses to tie it into the room decor. Job done.

I have owned 8 bass amps in 30 years. If I was made to choose one it would be my LMK Mark bass head. Plug n play good sound straight out of the bag. They let the harmonics breath and you need that presence cutting through in a gig environment. I really like my GK MB500 fusion which I got as a backup to the MB. Great for low volume jazz gigs, and I used it all last night with two different basses to get to know it more in louder band situations, I'm getting there but there are too many sounds variations to mess up if you need to change styles throughout the night. So ease of use I still give Mark Bass top slot. Not so keen on their Cabs don’t know why possibly built to size and look rather than physics. My stock setting is finger style Bass = 12<1 Low Mid= cut 10<11 High Mid = 12 High = 12 VPF= scoop 9 VFE= off channel two for Disco Funk Bass= 12 Low mid = cut 10 High Mid= 12 high =12 VLP = scoop 11<12 or 1 oclock I do think MB have too many product lines that will be their undoing.
