Same here. Except Wednesdays, and next Monday, I'm usually ok. 8pm-ish to make sure I can get there. Let's do it

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1453191586' post='2957168'] Cool. It's a nice pedal but more subtle than I was expecting (not a bad thing). [/quote] indeed! It can do pretty distorted if you want it to, but I like how you can get a wide range of mild overdrive sounds, which is what I prefer

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1453164605' post='2957113'] Just tried out my Bass Soul Food tonight and whilst I like it it seems like you have to go past 12 on the drive knob before you really begin to get "noticable" distortion. Does this tally with everyone else's experience? [/quote] it also depends where your tone control is: the more towards the treble you are, the sooner you hear the distortion.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1453119811' post='2956444'] Not tried it...mine is the old white, yellow and red one with the -15dB pad switch [/quote] same one I had, I liked it.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1453025027' post='2955527'] Well come on Jose, gigged yet???? I'm on an enforced gig hiatus (work travel/meetings) until next weekend so mine haven't been tried in anger yet. Home trial (which I'm never a fan of) has immediately revealed great, punchy cabs, just how I like them . LOVIN that Blue . Thinking of getting my grills powder coated with a big white stripe down the middle, (Toon colours). [/quote] Not gigged them yet, not even rehearsed with the band I was supposed to get a rehearsal plus gig this week, but we had to cancel last minute due to illness And we have 3 weeks of silence because of a band member's holidays now. But at least I will get a rehearsal of sorts on Wednesday, so they'll be coming out. I had someone coming on Friday to check a bass I was selling (my G&L L2000) and with neighbours away we pushed the volume up a bit It felt very good, but still far from being a very informative test... So frustrating! I want to give them some proper use already! Let us know what you think about them once you use them in 'real life'!

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1452908267' post='2954740'] The BBE OptoStomp is less than a ton. I like it [/quote] +1 for a very transparent subtle compressor that can fatten up the sound nicely. My favourite right now is the EBS multicomp, 'though. It does colour the sound but I like the way it does it.

Let's do it!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1452950829' post='2954977'] He would have probably been just as much of a **** if his dad hadn't died. [/quote] +1

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1452947813' post='2954940'] I know, plenty more fish in the sea [/quote]

[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1452946658' post='2954925'] One useful gadget thats always in my gig bag is this by Mark bass. If I forget my regular bass stand I can use this and it's secure and held in place extremely well and as long as you don't leave the jack lead in the bass it will stay put until you open the velcro.

I like the idea of carrying one of these in my gig bag permanently.

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1452796597' post='2953635'] Not the same cabs, but I'm running two 350w 112s (Bergs) with a Streamliner 900, and I have the Bass at about 9 o'clock on the dial - partly for the sound, but also because, like you, I'm just a little wary still of cranking too many deep lows through them. I'm sure I'm worrying unnecessarily, I just need to do a few more gigs with them to relax... The Streamliner has a High Pass Filter, too, so the ultra-lows get, erm, filtered out, but even so, I fret a bit. I do hit the thing quite hard sometimes, I'm a pretty dynamic* mostly-pick player... * AKA 'Ham-fisted, gets carried away'... [/quote]

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1452890847' post='2954580'] I have had to push drunk punters away from my monitor and mic stand and will do it again if it looks like they are going to fall over it or spill drinks. The last time it was actually the landlady! On NYE we had a drunk older woman singing backing vox with a friend of ours. She was getting a bit frisky with me and after groping my crotch I told her to f**k off and shoved her off the stage. She was shocked but realised the seriousness of it. Luckily hardly anyone noticed but she knocked my A string out of tune. [/quote] surely it'd be the G string out of tune (grabs coat, runs away fast)

[quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1452932585' post='2954768'] I flat out don't understand why G&L aren't more popular, even ones that have had their beating hearts ripped out in the name of modifications! [/quote] *especially* the ones that have had their uninspiring beating hearts ripped out in the name of a more sensible control configuration

Curious, I had never seen the MM humbucker in that shape (long ear, rather than two individual ears on the bass side)... I guess I haven't been paying attention! That blue looks lovely with the maple neck! Yum!
