    Now Sold One set of Cobalt Flats. Had them on my Stingray, probably less than 10hrs of play so still plenty of zing in them. Not been cut, and were strung as per Ernie Ball instructions. Price included delivery in the UK

    May not be any good for metal, try Irn Bru?

    Unless the strings come with instructions to not cut I always trim them down to about 13cm,, which allows for approx 3 winds.

    For years I was a rosewood man, never even considered instruments with maple. Then in my last band we started playing brightly - sometimes too brightly - lit stages and I found it difficult to see where I was on rosewood boards, so switched to maple. Made the seeing bit much easier, and I found that there wasn’t really that much difference in either the feel or the sound. At home I could detect a slight snappier response but in the mix not a chance.

    Looks great, love that rack of Warwicks.

    That’s very interesting Stew, and links in to that post which has musicians stating that their instruments are an extension of their bodies. I’ll have to check one of these out, they get such good reviews, the only other ones I’ve seen people rave about so much have been the Nate Mendels and the Matt Freemans.

    I’d look at adding in a preamp pedal - have the OTB set clean and then use the preamp for the better top end and grit. Sansamp works nicely with the OTB, Para Driver would give more options in the mid range.

    Fingers crossed then.

    I’d reckon that although you’d have PayPal to assist it has to be better having Ebay available as support as well.

    So assuming that the EU only do similar bands/performers will still be able to do week long tours as currently, with no costs. Well that will be a result, both for artists/musicians, and for common sense/practicality.

    Quick question to those in the know, is the fee per visit, or is it for a specific time period (year/5 years etc). If per year I know that, although it’s a fair initial outlay, my old band would have had no issues (other than getting three dumbos to complete the relevant forms that is).

    I’ve just bought a set of Alpines. Much better than the other set I had (no idea what brand). They do just what I wanted, reduce the whole overall sound levels, no dramatic reductions in any specific areas - or at least none that I noticed. The drummer I’m working with has a pistol shot sound to his snare and after a rehearsal without ear protection it was telling on the the old lugs, a rehearsal with the Alpines and no problemmo.

    Stiff Little Fingers, with support from The Professionals & The Adverts at The Roundhouse on Sat 28 March. Going to be a strange experience, I’ve spent the last 6 years gigging with many of my fave bands so going to a gig as a punter, and actually paying will all seem rather odd.
  16. Lozz196
    I was going to see them in Watford just before Xmas but the gig was cancelled due to works at the venue not being carried out properly. Was gutted.
  17. Lozz196
    A band I know travelled to the US undercover for a gig, but made the mistake of having set lists on them. Don’t know what line they spun but they got in and managed to do the gig as well.
  18. Lozz196
    Pretty much nothing. I know of many bands that play in one area of the world which has rather stringent regulations and from my understanding all of them manage it as above. You run the risks of course, but it can be done.

    The Fleece is a great venue, totally ridiculous putting those flats up there. Played many a good gig at The Fleece, one of the venues I will miss now I’m no longer gigging.

    On the gigs which we did in Europe where we just needed guitars we flew. I wish we’d taken the train, both for the above reasons and, much like Mr T, I hate flying.

    Now Sold One rather nice US Precision in Oly White - or as our drummer used to call it, cheesecake - it’s much creamier looking in real life than the pics suggest. In good condition, a couple of slight knocks as per pics, has graphite rods in the neck for stability, Custom Shop 62 pickups, hi-mass bridge and I’ve added a string retainer to the A tuner plus a Graph Tec nut. Comes in a Hiscox hard case. All important Basschat answer is 3.85kg or 8lbs7.8oz In true Basschat spirit am looking to recoup what I paid for it, £850. No trades. Can look at shipping at buyers expense.

    Quite agree Gary, it started out about musicians and the difficulties that we’ll be facing due to recent changes, which as far as I can see fits in General Music. Yes there will be added difficulties but the bands that really want to do it will work with those difficulties and find their way. I agree it will have an effect but so do many things in life.

    It’s a nice grind that he gets, especially on Superstition. I think I’d be looking at the Tech21 VTDI or the Ampeg Scrambler/SCRDI, something warm/valvey sounding, but what doesn’t colour the natural sound of your bass too much. I can do similar with my Para Driver if I keep the blend back to midday rather than on full.
  24. Lozz196
    Very 80s, love the look of those.
  25. Lozz196
    Think of how difficult it must have been for bands back in the 60s/70s to do all this without the benefits of the internet to help and take the strain. They all managed, why would we be so pitiably unable. Sure it’s more to do but those that want to do it will do, and reap the rewards that those that can’t be bothered let them take.
