It's never worried me. How many times have you ever run your head flat out? NV610 is probably 5.3-ohms anyway, they only label it 4-ohms for those who don't understand.

Boss TU-2 tuner has 2 outputs as long as you don't want to mute or just get a Y-cord (one jack socket to two plugs)

The Crimea in Aldershot, one of our regular venues. Great Landlord, average crowd. New drummer has found his feet (and hands). New numbers all worked well. Roll on the next gig on the 22nd

I had a slightly embarrassing moment when singing Road To Nowhere though. Because of the stage issues I could only see the words out of the corner of my eye and started to panic a bit which resulted in continually playing C instead of C#, oops! I did wonder why the keyboard player was prodding me in the back, I thought it was because I sang the same line twice Think we got stiffed on the money though, hmm Never mind, we did get paid and it was an absolute blast, great audience with some very nice feedback from another bass player for yours truly, always pleasant to hear, especially from a complete stranger. [/quote] Where were you playing last night?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1362040758' post='1994756'] If anyone in a band really hates a song, to my view the band shouldn`t play it - unless said hating person joined the band after the song was already in the set-list. [/quote] Interesting point. I joined a band last year on the basis of the their Set List. Since then we have added quite a few new songs, all of which are fine however I detect a move on the part of the singer and guitarist to move in a musical direction that does not appeal to me. I've already said no to a song which I detest so it'll be interesting to see how things develop.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1361958558' post='1993510'] I haven't had any email notifications for about 18 months. I do get notifications at the top of the page when I log on so it's not too bad [/quote] Same here.

These days Paul Geary, [url="http://www.paulgeary.com/"]http://www.paulgeary.com/[/url], undertakes bass duties for Nik, live and in the studio. There are some live gig videos on his web site.

[quote name='Phil-osopher10' timestamp='1361740431' post='1990190'] Personally I think each of the amps are targeting the same market, ie similar in price and power. But I can see how you would think the amps are for beginners and I would probably say you are right! [/quote] They might think they are targeting a beginners market but thinking outside the box makes the MB200 is very flexible and cost-effective tool. It can fulfill a number of different functions as already mentioned plus it makes a very good DI box.

MB200 is an excellent amp. I've used mine with a Schroeder cab for Jam House Band with loud drummers and it was fine. It also gets used for rehearsals and to drive the monitors when we're gigging.

Ditto.

Have a great gig tonight.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1361031088' post='1980064'] There's something about feel on this song that reminds me of Nick Lowe / Rockpile , and I mean that as high praise indeed . [/quote] Thanks. Very perceptive. I know for a fact that Nick Lowe was one of Micky's early influences. Interestingly my current band do "Cruel To Be Kind" and "Peace, Love and Understanding". Cracking bass line on the latter.

Here you are Nigel. My meagre submission recorded 10 years ago in Austin. [url="http://www.myspace.com/music/player?sid=25231875&ac=now"]http://www.myspace.c...25231875&ac=now[/url] Although many of the tracks were roughly tried here in the UK the parts really only came together in the studio. Nothing very technical or exciting but that's not my style. I reckon the bass drives the song along nicely with a nice bit of tension from the use of 3rds in the verses. Stingray 5 through a Sansamp straight into the desk. There's a bit of fret rattle as the actioned had changed following the transatlantic flight. When I was playing for Micky this was always a popular song - the alternative title is "Die You Bitch".

When I owned this cab I used an Orange AD200B which gave a great tone.

[quote name='GUI101' timestamp='1360700418' post='1975072'] Hadn't considered these obbm, off to their website for me, any downsides?? [/quote] None that I have found. I know several owners like myself who are very happy with them and have no plans to move them on. Using a pair effectively gives me a 4x12 but much lighter and easier to move than a single cab. I'm quite small but can carry a 1212L single handed without any problem. The latest ones have two front facing drivers. I have the ones which have one front facing driver and one angled plus a horn.

Schroeder 1210L or 1212L, if you can find one. I use a single 1212L, sometimes two, and they are light, loud and cut right through the mix. That is all.

RIP Reg, you wild thing. 71 is no age at all these days.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1360001762' post='1963350'] +1! I've waited and waited a LONG time to get the right neo 2x12 for me...this might be it. [/quote] That's what I'm hoping.

CN212 looks like my sort of cab.

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1359979927' post='1962754'] Its a really good design, it just doesn't fit a big neoprene strap that doesn't really fold: There is a pocket underneath the neck which is perfect for holding a lead / pics / earplugs etc, but my big chunky strap doesn't fit in it. The fit around the body of the bass is so snug that the strap doesn't fit there either. [/quote] I have the same type of Hiscox case. As well as the bass I keep a tuner and short cable in the pocket and fold my chunky Comfort Strapp around the headstock. Job done.

Mike bought an Orange pre-amp board from me. Very quick and smooth transaction.
