Meh. Dave Grohl is a bit of a two-trick pony for me.

Going to see a band called Slaves tonight - 2pc electro sort of stuff. Never heard them before but apparently they are good!

I could maybe have a go at it Jass but the equipment I'd be using would be quite basic! It is a very 'Ray' sound anyway with the treble open, and leans more towards that 70s pre-EB Ray tone when treble is cut. I will see what I can do this weekend -
BUMP! Had a bit of interest on Facebook but would rather sell to a trusted BC-er! PM me

Price drop to [b]£280 including shipping to UK! Bargain![/b] If I posted soundclips of this baby (which I might well do!) you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between it and a 70's Ray!

It varies from region to region, although there are many crossovers. One tip I found helpful was to start thinking of songs as progressions e.g. Stand By Me is 1-6-4-5, which means that you can pretty much transpose on the fly no matter what key the song is called in.

[quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1445165151' post='2889181'] "Substitute" by The Who. [/quote] Love it. That big open Precision sound is incredible!

Start your week off with a healthy dose of BUMP!

Ibanez K5-BKF Fieldy Signature Model 5-string Electric Bass

Cracking bass. GLWTS -
The one thing I would say in defence of Ashdown is that their warranty and aftersales service is really second to none. I would have no hesitation buying some of their gear.

BUMP!

[quote]If they stand/sit there casually busking with a view that cause its not enough money ect...... I would question why they accepted the gig in the firstplace. i wouldnt have advertised it as : dep (insert instrument here) required for £50.00/£200.00 gig[/quote] I once had a dep who turned up in foul form and complained that if he were running the gig, he would definitely be paying the musicians £x amount. This was despite him having agreed in advance to do the gig for a fee. He grumbled the whole night and needless to say, was never asked back again. I am aware that despite considering himself a professional player, he regularly sits in on the busy nights of the week when others are out gigging. I wonder why! There is a very definite difference in someone who makes a living from music, and a [u]professional [/u]bass player.

Most gigs I've done as a dep in function bands have featured a setlist which is around 80% the same as the last - no matter what the band. Learning a pop/rock function set will do you the world of good in many senses. I wouldn't look at it like it is learning a full set for one gig. It's great experience and will work in your favour long after the gig is done.

I had exactly the same combination of cabs a few years ago. Thunderous! Best of luck with the sale!

I love not having a normal Saturday night. Friends/coworkers talk about how they love sitting in watching X Factor, eating Chinese food, getting drunk etc. I couldn't think of three things I'd rather do less! Plus - when you have a day job like me, it is something to look forward to in the evenings or at weekends. I like living a double life!

For the guys who use a U5 straight into an amp and cab - Do you find that you miss having control over EQ at all? I am intrigued by the simplicity of the setup.

Cruises - just missed out on one - will be going at some point!
acidbass replied to Telebass's topic in General Discussion
A few friends of mine do it. Generally I think the best preparation is to brush up on your reading, as sometimes you can be playing as part of 5 or 6 different bands on one cruise, meaning 5 or 6 different pads with 30 - 40 songs each, and it would be impossible to perfect in advance. Make sure to have fun when you are out there! Great experience by all accounts.
