    I don't know how The Ox did it. If I were playing with a drummer as busy as Keith Moon (and I sometimes do!) - my instinct would be to keep the bass playing tight to steady the ship. I don't think there will be another rhythm section like Entwistle and Moon ever.

    Michael your cabs and basses make me feel all funny! Absolutely beautiful!
  6. acidbass
    Lovely bass! P/J is my favourite pickup combination - so much versatility and real growl! GLWTS
  7. acidbass
    2 x 1hr15 minute sets generally with a 10-15 minute break.

    Hi all Up for sale is a mint condition [b]Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2[/b] 900w lightweight amp head. This is a very popular head among forumites and I purchased mine from another member a few months ago (whose name escapes me!) 900w @ 4ohms, 500w @ 8ohms This head has a valve in the preamp that sounds simply lush - really beautiful warmth to the tone with the valve gain utilised, and the EQ section is super versatile. I can dial in all sorts of tones with it, from a nice bright zing for my Stingray right through to a midrange thumpo for my fretless Precision. I have never had to have the master up past 11 o clock with my Barefaced cabinet - this head has headroom in spades! Also sounds equally great at lower volumes. Not in a hurry to sell this although my reason for sale is that my current work requires in ear monitors, and so my backline is sadly redundant. Such a shame to let a monster setup go, but I fancy some custom in-ear moulds and they aren't cheap Payment by Paypal or bank transfer (preferred to avoid fees!) - asking [b]£400[/b] which includes a snug padded gig bag (shown in picture, not GB official one though), and postage by courier. PM me for more info Cheers [attachment=170685:gb1.jpg] [attachment=170686:gb2.jpg]

    Very interested to hear your opinions on how this compares with the GB, especially volume-wise!

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1408654454' post='2532333'] There's a bit of demand for this, so I thought I might as well kick it off. C'mon you Limelighters... get involved! [i]([b]Note:[/b] If the 'F' logos upset you, I respectfully ask that you start your own thread, or write a strongly-worded letter to the Daily Mail.)[/i] Here's my '63 relic: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/239185-nbd-limelight-63-jazz-medium-relic"]http://basschat.co.u...zz-medium-relic[/url] [/quote] Beautiful bass, Michael. Is it getting the playing time up against your vintage Fenders?
  12. acidbass
    George Ezra - Budapest Ed Sheeran - Sing Sam Smith - Stay With Me Paloma Faith - Only Love Can Hurt Like This Not the most lively selection but definitely recognisable

    Hi all, Anyone on here use one of the above? Got some serious GAS for one but haven't played one in the flesh (although I will get the chance in a few weeks) Are they worth £1600 or would I be better going for a Lakland/D Lakin/Sadowsky? Active not a necessity - I favour passive basses anyway. The Fenders are real beauties though! All opinions valued Danny

    [quote name='dand666' timestamp='1407784827' post='2524041'] Hate to bring up old threads, but for my own ego I thought I would. We've just been offered a 4 month cruise on Princess, leaving LA and down the east coast to Mexico starting in Jan! Over the moon. So to anyone trying, you can do it! I never ever thought I'd be able to play music for a living but it is possible. Keep working hard and it'll come. [/quote] Congrats! I know a guy who does FOH sound for Princess - he's from Northern Ireland so if you hear the accent you'll know he's the guy!

    Brilliant! Well done buddy!

    John Glascock for me, class player! Love his playing on SFTW. Again another one taken from us too early!
  17. acidbass
    Best of good health to you, Howard! The scratchplate you made me is a fine bit of work and I hope you can continue doing what you love at some point in future.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1402986058' post='2478460'] Ah.. I see where the confusion has come from! What I meant is that the neck pickup AND tone are backed off. Same for the bridge pup. I'll re-do the clip and update it later. :-) [/quote] Thanks for confirming! No need to go to that trouble - I read it wrong! Top sounds either way

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1402944349' post='2478178'] I made some sound clips. (Disclaimer: I'm just a dabbler when it comes to home recording) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6np-PCYITrw[/media] [/quote] Michael - lovely sounds - am I right in saying that the Bridge pickup and Neck pickup are noted the wrong way around?
  20. acidbass
    Would you all say that the TI's have a looser tension than the La Bella DTFs? Considering putting a set on one of my Precision basses - currently have DTFs on two Jazz Basses and sometimes find the tension a bit heavy.
  21. acidbass
    Did you buy the neck undrilled?

    I bought a Stingray recently (albeit an OLP version) and modded it to include a Nordstrand MM 4.2 pickup and a John East MM 2 Band preamp. I must admit - having come from a Fender background, the tone has taken a bit of getting used to. I'm very much a 'plug and play' bass player and usually just have my amp EQ set totally flat, and the tone/volume controls on a bass maxed. However, I've had to take a very different approach to playing with a Stingray. I find the midrange of the Stingray quite unmusical - I suppose this is to be expected by having a humbucker at the bridge position. I have had to cut the mids considerably on the amp, as well as back off on the bass boost control onboard, but have found a lovely sweet tone which fits perfectly in the soul band I play in. It has justified it's purchase thankfully!

    [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1400640478' post='2455721'] Nowt wrong with a Lakland! Hi IBWT I've lived in Belfast for about 10 yrs but now in Edinburgh. You'll enjoy Belfast and for good food (and now beer) go to BubbaQue and bask in their slow cooked meaty delights. [/quote] Oh God yes! Sugar Rays in Dundonald also great on a similar theme!

    [quote name='Gareth Hughes' timestamp='1400533261' post='2454790'] Hello IBWT - Pleasure to meet you here. For some lovely low end rumblings get yourself down to The Empire on a Tuesday night for Mr. Conor McCreanor and to The John Hewitt on a Thursday night for Mr. Trevor Dyer - two absolutely wonderful bass players and fine gentlemen indeed. [/quote] Does Trev still do that gig on a Thursday Gareth? Must get down some night! +1 for the Tuesday slot at the Empire too - great stuff.
  25. acidbass
    Great guys thanks for the advice! I've only heard good things so far and seems to have all of the right faculties for my type of sound! Will see if I can try one pronto. Lozz - what did you replace yours with and why?
