[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='598329' date='Sep 14 2009, 03:59 PM']I'm hoping to get along to the Gasworks. Don't know if you've been before - the dressing room's a bit naff but it's stocked with bottles of Carlsberg. Sadly the only bottle opener that was there is in my gig box!!! It's the daddy of bassy sounding stages too.[/quote] Excellent news Dr!! So, you suggest a bit more 'mid' and less 'bass' on the Ampeg head /Boogie 2x15 then Sir?!

Hey Jono! She'll be happy because we will almost definitely play both of those No worries for you though as there will be plenty of 70's classics, some deep cuts and very likely the new KISS song 'Modern Day Delilah'!

Spectors have always been the other way around too....

To look at AND to play.... [b]pre-Kramer 'Spector NS2'[/b]

[quote name='Russ' post='587665' date='Sep 2 2009, 04:46 PM']Different basses on different albums... this isn't comprehensive, but to summarise, the early albums, up to Mother's Milk were mostly a Spector NS[b]2[/b], BSSM was mostly a Wal (with a 5-string Stingray on two tracks), One Hot Minute was mostly an Alembic Epic (apart from Aeroplane, which was obviously a Stingray), Californication & By The Way were pretty much all the Flea Bass, and Stadium Arcadium was the Flea Bass and a '62 Jazz with flats.[/quote] Corrected for you

QUOTE (Clarky @ Sep 1 2009, 08:33 PM)[i] I quite like the really hammy Kiss version on Kiss Alive III! And Gene Simmons didn't have too much of an image problem, or height problem in those stack heels [/i]QUOTE [quote name='EssentialTension' post='586888' date='Sep 1 2009, 08:47 PM'] I've never understood how anyone could take Kiss seriously. Or take them at all in fact. Sorry guys. IMHO.[/quote] They never were meant to be taken seriously. It's all about a thing called 'entertainment'.... .....and very successful they've been at it too Getting back to the original 'Argent' version.... very cheesy but GREAT band nonetheless. There's no knocking Russ Ballard etc....

[quote name='beerdragon' post='582016' date='Aug 26 2009, 11:17 PM']I saw that you were at Music live this year. that's on a Sunday right. We usually go on a Saturday. might try get to that one though.[/quote] Yep, we're on the Sunday afternoon. Each band is doing approx 40 mins from approx 11am.... and we're on at approx 3pm. Gonna be a Greatest Hits set with hopefully LOTS of pyro Might go for a wander in full gear earlier in the day too.... see what 'endorsements' I can pick up! lol!

[quote name='coasterbass' post='583259' date='Aug 28 2009, 09:39 AM']As for the cabs... well, I've played a lot of cabs in my life and I've never heard anything that beats my current 1x15 Road Ready. If I had to describe it, its like it adds in its own tube warmth. Really lush sounding, but devastatingly loud and cuts through anything. But It Weighs A Tonne and the 4x10 weighs even more, despite only being a Diesel rather than Road Ready. The magnets in the old EVs are just immense and the cabs themselves are really really well put together. The newer cabs are slightly lighter, and slightly more transparent, but you'll still know its a Boogie.[/quote] I LOVE the old Diesel cabs.... superb build, EV speakers and thunderous tones.... Never had or wanted a Mesa head though.... :/

Me next, after YouMa, please...

US made Spector NS2 or NS4 if you can afford it Czech made Spector EuroLX if you can't

Get a used Spector Re-Bop or Spector Euro/LX and put it through a Sansamp...

Things are going to hell in a hand basket there at the moment and it seems that even a contract evidenced in writing is absolutely no guarantee against being fleeced by the moron currently in charge. [/quote] I've been watching that thread closely.... By all accounts we are the big boss' favourite (we even played his private birthday party) so I'd be surprised if they tried to pull that crap on us... If they did, our lead guitarist is MORE than a little tasty with his fists.... and has a martial arts background too...

[quote name='davidmpires' post='562819' date='Aug 7 2009, 03:01 PM']It seems to me that YOU sir have a problem with Kent when are you getting your ass here? [/quote] When someone invites us

Wear it a little lower and it will cover any er.... problems.... lol!

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='561380' date='Aug 5 2009, 07:18 PM']If you're not in full Gene Simmons stage regalia, I probably won't recognise you! [/quote] It'll be fun being incognito....

[quote name='molan' post='559245' date='Aug 3 2009, 02:28 PM']I've got an 80's SVTII non-pro. Bit temperamental at times tho![/quote] Oooooh.... would be nice to hear that through Paubass's NV610!

Anyone got a Berg NV610 and/or a 70's/80's SVT head they can bring along? How about a GK 1001RB or 2001RB?
