In general I use the Shape function, then back off on the lowest frequencies to suit the venue. I know a lot of people aren’t keen on the Shape but it suits me nicely.

That’s great news and a brilliant turnaround from Barefaced.

I don’t think, in all my years of playing bass, that I’ve ever played through any SWR gear. Nothing to do with the gear itself, just none of the bands I’ve gear-shared with had any.

Good to hear

Thanks Dave, Burn is on my list to add in at some point.

Thanks, the Gates of Babylon we do is by Volbeat.

Had a great rehearsal with the classic rock band this evening. Keyboard player has just got himself a new keyboard and it’s really added to the sound. Went through the below and all went well.

I bet that was a great gig!

Very interested in this, an actual magazine much better than online for me.

Sadly his demons were too strong for him to beat, a great shame as imo he was an amazing talent.

Music goes in cycles, loud guitars for a while, then pop with just singers for a while, then solo performers for a while, whatever the "in thing" is. I reckon we`re due some scallys with guitars again soon.

Yep, often people come out with this rather than just say it’s not their thing. I've even found it with bandmates, with people in one band reluctant to come and see my other band for example.

ORANGES! Looks great though, a very individual look at gigs I’d think.

Would be my recommendation too

Excellent, well done

Yes, it’s up to the buyer to read their small print, which specifically states no musical instruments. They’ll take the money and then when they lose it say it was in the T&Cs, this is a reading issue.

Yep, JJ Burnel and Bruce Foxton were big influences on me sound wise.

A good sax player really adds to a band. A bad one makes every song sound like One Step Beyond.

For me it’s the imperfections or going where wouldn’t be expected that make music interesting, such as Cliff Williams playing C# in Back in Black when the guitars play A. Would AI choose to do this?

I like the BOSS WL20, but if finding 2.4 an issue the NUX C-5RC works on 5.8 and is very good.

Thanks Dave, I still can’t do much but I’ll take that any day of the week compared to where I was 2/3 years ago. Pain free and pretty decent mobility, if that’s as far as I can go will suit me.

After a tiresome few years my osteopath has just advised me to start going to the gym again, as I’m now pretty much pain free. But she’s said the very lightest weights only, and machine-weights only, no free weights. So whatever machine I use one of whatever weight is on it, with the intention of now building some strength back to protect it going forwards.

Your gigs sound like my kinda thing!
