    I have to agree, whilst I don’t dislike Teenage Kicks there are much better songs from The Undertones, You’ve Got My Number, Wednesday Week, Julie Ocean to name a few which are all quite different showing just how good a band they were.

    I can’t see that happening, none of them will have credit cards to use for food/drinks/toilets/use of emergency exits……

    Well that’s a good question, I think I have to go with head rather than heart and take the Mustang for live work.

    Just got in from a Spacewasters rehearsal, going through 3 songs for recording tomorrow. Used my fave Precision as figure best to record with the instrument you play best. Went well, all sounding good. Then we get the call that it’s had to get cancelled due to the engineer having a family problem. Shame but we’ll reschedule. Edit - I should also point out that a full scale bass (both weight & size) really isn’t the right choice for me now, and although my Precision is my fave bass in all honesty my Mustangs suit the sound of the band better.

    For me it was Ashdowns ABM amps. I’d heard them being used and the people using them always had them set to that warm mushy “woolly” sound so I’d never bothered with them figuring that was all they did. But at a gig the provided rig was an ABM500 and matching 2x15. Precision & Sansamp plugged in I was amazed at the depth of sound available, and dare I say the H-word, heft coming from it. It wasn’t far short from the same Precision & Sansamp through a full Ampeg fridge set up.

    Good point, from what I understand was the same as with Saville

    Congrats, I had one of the Tony Butler Sigs and it was a really good bass, forget for the money just a really good bass.

    Great song, we started doing it a couple of months ago, got a really good groove/feel to it. And that break-out part, well it showed me where Is it Just Me by The Darkness may well have got its inspiration from, Dan Hawkins being a major TL fan.

    I reckon the neck may have been shaved down as the nut width on those should be 44mm, with a shallow depth to it. Great looking bass btw, never got round to owning a Road Worn Precision but did play a couple and loved them.

    I think Dave is soon going to have his own fan club here on Basschat. I’ve always had great dealings with him.

    My intention is to learn a whole load of JJ/Motown material when I retire, give me something to aim for.

    Pretty much the same as the above post. I missed out on the item that Ander bought but Rhys messaged me about another one he was selling so the deal was done. Good comms throughout and swift delivery.

    Looks great

    If you can find one - think they’re discontinued - an Ashdown CL310 would do it, a vertical 310.
  15. Lozz196
    Well as your gear is Ashdown a solution could be their RM500 with the footswitch that adds in the valve drive and the sub harmoniser. Just adding a touch on each would add in nicely to the sound without any drastic changes.

    Sounds great Pete, good look to the band too, understated but you def all look like a band together.
  17. Lozz196
    Good point, those ride cymbals can be brutal in a caffeine fuelled chimps hands.
  18. Lozz196
    I like Radio 2, and especially the evening/night shows that I listen to on way home from band practice. Also used to love listening to the midnight/early morning shows on the way home from gigs.
  19. Lozz196
    The only part of that I liked was the Read Less option.
  20. Lozz196
    If at all possible I do this as this way means I’m nearer the snare & hi-hat which makes it easier to lock in with the drummer. Plus the clumsy lead singer is unlikely to blunder into the headstock of my bass.
  21. Lozz196
    Adding in a touch of drive, especially if the drive has a middier tone can help. Doesn’t need to be a total change of eq but it does make a fair difference.
  22. Lozz196
    That is really amazingly good, well done Dave & Ashdown

    I used my new MIJ Mustang at rehearsal last night. Sounded great though a couple of buts. First I need to get some Ultralite tuners as it was dragging a bit on my shoulder towards the end. Second I really need to put some hours in on the thinner neck, on the more complicated parts of songs my fingers were falling over each other. For years I’ve played Precisions so am used to the wider necks, just got to get used to it which means hours & hours of playing - not a bad thing at all imo.
  24. Lozz196
    I had one of the Fender Mex Classic 70s Jazzes and it was a very nice bass, def worth checking out.
  25. Lozz196
    Agree, the drive from Watford to Northampton about an hour, to Banbury look to probably double that.
