I really hope it is one of these.

Would love to see how a Mustang bass measured up in that.

Well I suppose because we weren’t that bothered about instruments in the monitors it made hearing the actual instruments/amps on stage easier. But re moving about, well yes you do get a sweet spot where everything is clear/massive as opposed to when moving to other places on a big stage but that never concerned me as the benefit of the 810 thing was that unless directly in front of the guitar speakers it could be heard pretty much wherever on stage I went. Set amp volume to that of the kit and enjoy the gig.

Agree, I saw a live concert of theirs on BBC4 last week, I’d forgotten how good the bass lines on their material are.

In my last band I was fortunate enough to play through the classic Ampeg 810 set up a good few times. As none of us were keen on bass in the monitors what wevheard was the full 810 going - admittedly with my Sansamp shaping the eq. Was wonderful, didn’t have to be mega loud (same as stage volume drums) to be heard all over the stage.

Go for it, you might end up surprising yourself. I say this as I’ve done similar. I joined a band that I’d seen a couple of times when they played with my old band. We were street punk, they were psychobilly so although I quite liked them not my favoured genre. But when I got the CD through to learn the songs for the audition I found I really enjoyed playing them so put my all into learning them as really wanted the position. Fortunately I got it and I’m really happy in this band even though I don’t really listen to the genre that much.

Can’t remember what band it was, saw them on Guy Garveys Vault program but it was Liverpool based and Holly Johnson was the bassist.

I use a Wenger rucksack, very strong, well put together and plenty of compartments so I can keep things separate rather than in one big jumble. I did recently buy a Mono Pedalboard & Case - mainly for the case - and now I’m going minimal will try this. I do like Mono gear.

Guns N Roses, if Slash, Duff & Matt hadn’t left the three of them probably wouldn’t have formed Velvet Revolver, likewise Duff & Matt probably wouldn’t have joined The Neurotic Outsiders.

That’s poor, thought Orange had better customer service than that.

For me it would be a pedal that added gain/drive with no increase in volume. Additionally there would only be one control on it, for the amount of gain/drive, nothing else.

I’d say, if wanting to stick with Ashdown, there are two options, lightweight being the RM500, heavier though not ridiculously so and - dare I say it - heftier the ABM600.

You can probably get a gig on Trumps Campaign Trail

I tried putting it into Google Translate but smoke started coming from my phone….

That’s awesome, as are the other 2

I think I’d rely on that too, and maybe my skill in suggesting someone else.

It was Don’t Go Away Mad that he used this Schecter on when I saw them last week. Maybe they were trying to prove a point but the cameras zoomed in on his fretboard on the melodic bits and he was certainly playing the right notes.

Mine will be (as not done it yet) Sansamp BDDI v2.

Great venue, was where I did my first “proper” gig (as oppose to rubbish no-plan performances), was 13 June 1987.

Very true Mick, the difference in price and quality isn’t proportional.

If I recall correctly Cliff Williams of AC/DC does this, then backs off of the treble a tiny bit.

Really pleased for you Dave, glad you can keep playing

I can’t think of any songs i specifically hate but there are a few bands/artists I’m not keen on so feel conflicted if a song of theirs comes on the radio that I quite like.
