I had Dave, but there’s the possibility that’s my last gig with Knock Off (I’m only standing in and they think they’ve found someone permanent) so wanted to go out playing my fave type of bass. Plus with a great gig like that, time to bring out the big guns so to speak. Am a bit sore today tho…..

Aaaaaarrrggggh, want one!!!!!! Looks amazing, I’ve seen these on the Shuker website and have been seriously tempted, the resolve is weakening…….

Just got in from a Knock Off gig, supporting Therapy? at 229 Club London. Journey up not too bad, and managed to get parking right outside the door - result. Great backstage area where we could chill before and after the gig. Signal chain was Fender US Precision, via BOSS WL20L into my Sansamp, with my RM500 as a power amp. Therapy? kindly allowed us to use their cabs so I went into an Eden 810, so with that and monitors no trouble hearing myself. Therapy?s monitor mix was perfect for us too so soundcheck was one song and sorted. On at 7:45, for a 45min set, venue holds 600, probably 500 watched us. Being a streetpunk/Oi band we’re not really on the same scene but we went down very well, many people coming up to us afterwards saying how much they liked us and how well we complimented Therapy?, being not just a clone but offering something different. Footwear was my Vans trainers.

With the irony being pretty much all participants are against hatred and intolerance of any shape or form.

Just where was Rylan when he was needed……

Def another rehash of Fender there @Hellzero……

Good call, a pre-match pee is essential

In that case I must be

If I ever get round to gigging mine I think I’ll do this. Even though I look after my gear I’m always wary about cloth grilles on cabs.

Agree @danbanbass, I think they look great

Def possible at your age @Agent 00Soul, I`m 59 and currently in two originals bands, one (The Spacewasters, garage-type rock) where we range from 30s/40s/50s, the other (Knock Off, Oi/street-punk) 50s/60s.

I think the downside is due to the current saturation in the media, and the hysteria being raised, he`s only likely to be pushed further in his current direction. The thing is, with a mate like yourself who will enter into dialogue with him, rather than someone who just shouts him down/over him, he can see a reasoned viewpoint so I`d say stick around.

Def, if you like the sound of one cab doubling up on it imo induces a very silly grin, an almost "I can`t believe it" sort of thing.

Really like the looks of that bass, congrats

I must be fortunate that I`ve not really encountered much actual racism at all throughout my life. Had a mate who when drunk would spout off about the Irish (his Mum was Irish so no clues there) and another mate who although it appeared he didn`t much like black people he had two black children, so again no actual clues there. Me & my other mates just thought they were a bit/lot confused/stupid.

That is a pretty stunning looking bass

Leave the band immediately Burn all your instruments Change your name If you do the above the association might just not follow you for the rest of your life

Being on the Oi circuit we have to research gigs we’re offered to make sure no far right or far left bands on the bill, once you’ve played with them - even if unknowingly - you’re forever tarnished with the same brush so to speak.

Been there, it’s infuriating isn’t it?

Apparently one of that band did an about turn and is now far left. I remember mistakenly going to my local one night when they were playing, a very hasty retreat was made.

I don’t think any of us in my bands would be in bands with someone who held far right/homophobic views etc. I’m not sure about far left as aside from myself everyone in my two gigging bands dress to the left so to speak.

I think two BB3s should work just fine, from recall, having had both, two of the BB3s would stack approx the same size/height as the BT so essentially the same cab, but in a more convenient to move set-up.

I`m wondering if it was a "snide", happens with strings, maybe people are getting in on the act with leads & stuff now.

Check out Shake Some Acton promoters - based in West London obviously, but put gigs on all over London, mainly garage rock & psychobilly stuff. Some good bands on that scene, many of similar ages to yourself @Agent 00Soul, new personnel often needed, put your name about, you never know.
