    Couldn't agree more. Healthy lifestyle is sooooo important. I have had a shoulder injury recently and let it become an excuse for not exercising. Since that point i've become miserable, stressed and have been sleeping badly. Losing my job didnt help but you need to take care of number one and a healthy body really does bring a healthy mind.

    Played at Sooty & Billy's custom bike show in Northampton this afternoon. Our usual drummer was being a cock (as usual) and said £300 wasn'tenough for a covers band on a Sun afternoon so the drummer from my other project, who is friggin mint (spinal tap drum tech and session drummer for multiple big names), stepped in. Gig went flawlessly but we had to let a "Burlesque" group dance in the interval. Nowt against burlesque but these were just fat heffers in underwear. Agreed to play their songs thru my PA but got the hump big stylee after one lump gave me her iPhone to plug in so I could play her tune from her itunes. Halfway thru her dance her mate rang her and she blamed me. No offence love but if you don't put your phone on airplane mode first, dont look at me when your tune cuts out and the room is filled with the sound of an old phone ringing. Great bike show tho. Lot's of mint bikes to see.

    [quote name='dakanoosh' timestamp='1342610267' post='1737761'] I'll have a search around, I'm using an American Deluxe Jazz and was more worried if the actual size of the bridge could be a factor.

    [quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1342802172' post='1741286'] I've got a pair of ACS 15 and they're great for me. [/quote] +1 ACS plugs are great. £130 may seem like a lot but if you get tinnitus or worse you'd give anything to be able to go back in time and buy some. I took a few months to get used to them as initially you can feel a little detached from the music but you MUST persevere as you will get used to them and then you're set for a lifetime of playing. Too many folk have had to give up due to ear problems. Plugs should be as impoprtant as an amp and a bass to you. I always keep some cheap spares in guitar cases, amp bag, glovebox and microphone case - onceyou get used to them you'll never know how you lived without them. If you take bass playing seriously then you have to take looking after your hearing seriously too.

    How would this work if you're using an amp with 2 channels? Some sound guys are a pain and I don't agree with the "my way or the highway" approach. I've run sound at several big venues in the past and it makes chuff all difference if the bass player wants to use his amp's di or a mic. As long as the signal is reliable and safe then you work with the sound the bass player provides. It's up to him as long as he knows his time constraints and works to them. Sounds like the guy is a bit of an amateur. I used to love it when bass players used sansamps. Great tone served up in a nice clean signal. Players who constantly tinker with the sound throughout a gig are a nuisance tho.

    Very depressing that this is still available. Shows just how slow the market is. This is a smashing combo. Good luck with the sale.

    I've got G.A.S so why not make me an offer.

    Very tidy rig indeed. Love the BF cabs, although I have a berg (if I could have had a super 12 with a years interest free that's what I'd be using) but have never had the chance to try the orange head. Looks killer tho and will undoubtedly get plenty of attention at gigs. If it doesn't just slay them with volume!

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1342212283' post='1731959'] You have not seen 'Vera' my mushy pea green £930 Morris 1000 then? [/quote] If Vera was a bass she'd be worth £1000's. Vintage, British, terrible colour.

    Seem to be playing an old Yamaha BBG5 more and more these days. Worth £150. I have a nice US75 Jazz which I've gigged loads but the Yamaha sounds better at the mo. Money is irrelevant tho. I kitesurf and my kites are over £1k each and could be torn in a moment of non concentration or even lost if I needed to ditch one in an emergency. Likewise we all drive round in £ks worth of cars which could be banged, smashed or stolen. Insurance is key and after all a bass is just wood and metal and a bit of plastic.

    Friday morning bleary eyed bump.

    I think we should remember that there's a place for all these rigs but ultimately a bit of theatre never harmed anyone's live show. Big cabs look cool as .... so if transport and stage space was no issue then I'd have a monster rig in a heartbeat. As it is I have reasonably tidy size rig that sounds great and does the job brilliantly but it still feels kinda sterile. Much rather have a dirty great big cab behind me with half a metric ton of valve head sitting on the top. Mind you my guitard uses a little combo so it'd look funny.

    Back up for sale my TC Electronic Classic 450. This is in lovely condition which works perfectly with no marks and comes complete with a Gig Skinz bag which houses the head snugly in a fur lined bag that's made to measure. This is a great light yet powerful head which is very simple to use with on board multi band compressor and a genius pre and post amp valve drive emulator. I can't fault this head at all but am after a change to go with a cab I'm hoping to aquire in a trade here on BC. I bought this from Mark at BassDirect in October 2010 and still have original box, manual and power lead. I want £340 for this as the condition is great and it comes with the gig bag. Would also trade for: Trade wise I'm looking strictly for a GK Fusion 550 with cash your way or a Genz Streamliner 600 also with cash your way. Prefer collection but will meet / deliver within 40 miles of OX26 for free. Will ship for £10. Feel free to come and try this. I'm in Bicester, Oxfordshire (J9 M40). I'll hook it up to a quality cab and you can put it through its paces. [attachment=112889:IMG_3431 (1024x502).jpg]
