  1. Many moons ago my then band played a gig with a bunch of youngsters who were called The Jennifers, later to become Supergrass.
  2. We do it (and all our songs) in E, so we learn them with regular or detuned guitars, but then play them in the right places in E. Does make them sound a bit strange the first few times, soon get used to them tho.
  3. Just been learning Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy, tomorrow will be the first time we play it with the band, it’s a great song.
  4. Pretty much the same settings I had with mine and my Precision.
  5. Ah poo, I’ll have to check the others out, fairly sure there were others quite nearby.
  6. I used an Ampeg SVT plus 810 at a gig there, the payoff was helping carry it all up those stairs. To add insult to injury both were flightcased.
  7. I’ve always used the meters on the nearby streets when playing there, fortunately gigging there 12 April, really looking forward to being back at The 100 Club.
  8. Will do, thinking of the St Albans one as it`s just down the road from me.
  9. That`s the DI I was thinking of. seeing as it can go between amp & speaker, but couldn`t remember the name. The more highs above 4kHz to the desk might work to your advantage, enabling the sound desk to have a better balanced signal.
  10. Yep, good luck to ‘em.
  11. I stuck with Precisions for gigging for years (though am now on Mustangs due to back issues). Over that period I also had Jazzes, Stingrays, PJ basses, active basses etc but only ever used the Precisions for gigs/band use. Nothing wrong with having a variety of instruments for noodling on at home. Up to the individual if they think it’s a waste or not. I do agree with Chris’ point though, having loads of basses won’t make me a better player, no matter how much I’d like that to be true.
  12. The Fender Rumble combos are very good and def worth checking out, though an idea of the type of music you play will help in recommendations.
  13. Would appear that the collective description of Spectors is a hanging.
  14. Def not. Have played a few places where the punters have tried (unsuccessfully) to intimidate but the main thing was don’t return.
  15. I wonder how long it will take for venues like this to close, once they can no longer offer bands as the entertainment.
  16. Given my back issues (and that our singer only has one leg) if we play a venue with these types of load ins we only do them once.
  17. This thread obviously made me think a bit as I had a dream last night in which my flat was on fire but knowing all the risks I decided to enter it to get my fave bass.
  18. New bridge & new (but very retro looking) volume/tone knobs.
  19. Both of my bands rehearse about a 30-45mins drive. My gigging bands gigs are always at least an hour away, tho me & the drummer paid up so share the drive on these. We only gig about 10 times a year and only really rehearse if we’ve a gig.
  20. I have the PRO 17s and they’re very good, they turn my classic rock band from a band that really endangers hearing to a band playing at a volume not unlike that of a home stereo. Additionally unlike some cheaper ones you get a really good balanced sound through them, no focusing and removing specific frequency areas.
  21. Oi/Street Punk: The Last Resort - Never Get a Job Booze & Glory - Only Fools Get Caught The Old Firm Casuals - Perry Boys
