  4. Looking for a new/different amp company to try that has good artist support in the UK/Europe? 

    1. Lozz196

      I`d agree with the Ashdown comments, great sounding amps and very good customer service. Their smaller Class D range, the RM amps are very good and make touring nice and easy.

  5. This year's band Christmas song and video in the can and ready to go. 
    Not entirely in character with our usual style but has elements...and it's for Christmas, soooo :)

      I think it sounds good, I got sent the link via Bandcamp (I think)

  6. No more long scales - last two now sold - quite a catharsis! :)

      In terms of basses I`m keeping I`m down to one regular scale bass (my fave Precision that I`ll never sell due to our shared history) and from now on will only buy short scale basses, they just work so much better for me.

  7. Listening to Madness - great basslines.

      A few years back we played The 100 Club the day after Madness played there, I considered it an honour to hang my jacket up on Bedders` coat-hanger (they were all named).

      I’m pleased about this. Whilst they - going from reports - aren’t used much they are pretty essential to those that do use them.

      I think it`s once you`ve acquired the next bass after your next bass purchase.

  14. Finally joined the Covid club. Feeling utterly dreadful 

    1. Lozz196

      Lozz196

      It can be nasty, I had one really bad day, the next 10 or 11 were like a bad cold but when I returned to work afterwards the fatigue and brain-fog were rotten for a further 2 weeks.

  15. Just got word that UPS is picking up my new bass at Andy Baxter's today. Can't wait.

  16. Loads of bc'ers stopping playing, no judging obvs, reasons their own, still makes me feel sad though

    1. Lozz196

      Lozz196

      Maybe it`s due to lack of gigging opportunities as venues decide more & more that they can`t afford bands - though the pub I went to see a covers band in a few weeks back was heaving, and only so because of said band (that prob got £250).

  17. I already have five Jazz Basses and have serious GAS for a sixth one. What's wrong with me? Please send help.

    1. Lozz196

      Lozz196

      I think the real issue here is not acknowledging that once you have the six that a seventh will be in order.

  18. Should I sell my spare head? Been wondering for a while. I have a Markbass LM3 & a Markbass LM800. I generally use the LM3 for gigs etc, and the LM800 for practice. How many amps have you got? Ever thought of shifting them? Do I need two amps, or should I shop one in? Hmm…thoughts?

    1. Lozz196

      Lozz196

      I have two amps, main is Ashdown ABM600, backup is Ashdown RM500. I rarely get to use either as most gigs are shared/provided rigs but I`ll always have two, though only take one to gigs. I have 2 gigs this week where I`m using the ABM but of course before I leave I`ll make sure it`s working, if not then the RM gets the job. And I have a Sansamp as well which is always in the bag.

  19. Was getting all excited over a 300 quid long service award from work. What to buy? Liked the look of the Origin Bassrig SV... Maybe go towards an Alpha Omega Photon... 

     

    Arrived today.... Vouchers for your choice of vendor. Fashion outlets, Amazon, Argos, M&S, Sainnsburys... FFS... 

    1. Lozz196

      Lozz196

      I got similar for my 30 years of service so got my shopping with the vouchers and then spent the money I would ordinarily have used at the supermarket to get the gift that I wanted.

  20. Gotta love online sellers who live in the derrière end of nowhere but refuse to post pedals* 

    1. Lozz196

      Lozz196

      Yeah, I just naturally assumed bass/heavy amp-head/cab. Whatever next, pick up plectrums?

      I think that offering to meet half way has to be a workaround on this. I understand not wanting to post, given dubious courier experiences on many threads on here, but without doing something like this it can really restrict the number of buyers,

  22. Fretting hand cramping up more often now, even after a good warm up.

     

    Maybe it's time to go to the dark side. . . .

     

    And get a P bass . . .

    1. Lozz196

      Lozz196

      Are you finding this as your current bass has a thicker or thinner neck than a P-Bass? Although I find Jazzes easier to play for some reason I find I can get hand cramp when playing one, but once I jumps back the thicker precision the cramps fade.

  23. Yeah, that's just what you want at bed time isn't it... back pain that gets worse when you lie down. Great. :(

      You have my sympathies Rich, back pain = not good

  24. got a real hankerin to throw out the Orange 410 cabs, go barefaced 610 and say to hell with it all 🤠

    1. Lozz196

      Lozz196

      Well your back will certainly give thanks for that Andy, not sure how BF & Orange cabs compare sound-wise but I can`t see the BF610 not being a worthy replacement.
