    Meet them both, go with whoever best matches your interests. Be that: best setlist, nicest people, most accomplished musicians. Make an informed decision so that you don't regret rejecting one of them a month down the line.
    [/quote] i guess that's the wisest decision, Thanks.

  2. The fIrst with the not so great set list i don't know from adam but that doesn't mean much, the second one i used to work with a couple of them , and i have just found out the first gig is a week on Saturday.

  3. Been looking for band to join for a while now, so i put an add in a Join a band site and after a week someone local invited to join a band, they practise where i used practise with my old band just down the road so thats great .He emailed a bunch of songs for me to learn (they are not so great) and grafting away when i have phone call from someone i know saying phone so and so the bass player has just left and it's your if you want it. What to do, don't know if i could cope with learning two set lists plus the gigs could clash, Argh!.

  4. I suppose it must be true.
    Why were you going through all those different basses?
    I was trying to find something I could play. I felt comfortable with the Rickenbacker, but the neck warped, and it started sounding very strange, so I changed to a [Fender] Jazz Bass. The first [i]proper[/i] bass setup I ever used, I had a big cabinet with curtain material on the front, and we used to carry our own equipment then, hire a van to take us to the concert. Because we thought it was too heavy, we used hang the 18″ speaker on a nail every time we’d go to a concert, and when I played a bottom [i]E[/i], it would fall off the nail. So we’d have to stop halfway through the number and hang it back on the nail. The first time I could ever play my [i]E[/i] string was after I’d been playing bass for about three years. I’d never actually touched the [i]E[/i] string; I was just playing on the first three strings. And the first time I actually touched the [i]E[/i] string was when I got my first 4-12 cabinet, and I was using an Epiphone semi-acoustic bass.

    There's one on ebay from a german seller at the same price.

  6. Supported Andy Scott and his brother few times when they where in a band called Elastic Band, Proper Prog Rock. Hammond organ, Flute. they made one album, split.The Singer joined Love Affair. the Drummer joined Mayfields Mule and Henry Cow.

  7. Looking for Wooden Scratch plate for a Jazz, The one's i've found on google all seem to be in the US. Maybe making one wouldn't be all that hard, But if anyone has a link it would be appreciated, Thanks.

  8. This Stand came with a Jazz Bass and Case i bought off ebay, i'm guessing it's for an upright Electric bass, everything works ok it's just no good for a guitar.is it any use to anyone,? no idea how to put pictures right, [attachment=219578:DSC_0540.JPG] [attachment=219575:DSC_0541.JPG]

  9. Watching the Dave Clark five thing on BBC4, Noticed the Bass player was playing what i thought was a ordinary six string guitar, turns out it was a Burns six string, only 20 where produced between62/64. the bassist in the Human League own one. https://reverb.com/item/3863-1962-burns-split-sound-baritone

  10. Thanks for the Manual link, I removed the drivers and they are wired series so i should be ok. i thought it best to ask before i use them.

    this what the manual says, [font=Optima][size=2]The 7210H and 7215 combos produce around 200Watts into their respective internal speakers which provide an 8-Ohm load in both cases. There is an additional output socket on the rear of both combos to allow an additional 8-Ohm cabinet to be used. They will then produce the full 300Watts into the combined 4-Ohm load. If you want to run the combos with a single 4-Ohm speaker cabinet, (or indeed two 8-Ohm cabs), then the internal speaker must be disconnected. This is achieved by the removal of the jack plug in the rear socket. [/size][/font]

    If your cab contains two drivers which each have a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, you can wire them in series to make the load that the amp sees 8 ohms, if they are wired in parallel they will present a load of 2 ohms to the amp.
    [/quote] Right that's what i thought. Thanks.

  12. Hi, Excuse my ignorance on this subject, I have a Trace 300watt 1715 Combo which i think is 8 ohms, i would like to pair a cabinet which sold then bought back off a friend, it's one i made up of Two 10inch Celestion 300 watt BN10X 4 ohms. is this possible without doing any damage, am i right in thinking this will just cut down the amp 150 watts? Thanks.
