    Dont fancy putting screws into my Mesa cabs like that. Something like this. The elbow sits over the edge of your cab and the strap attaches somewhere either on your cab handle on the top of the cab/amp or to the other side of the cab handle. Other options might be an adjustable plastic clamp to suit cab width or depth ? This is the company i found but they dont make them anymore. Dave

    Really looking for something that will take the weight of the bass as i dont like standing my bass on the strap locks. The ones i'm thinking off must attach to the top of the cab somehow and sit at the edge of the cab with the hook for the bass. Off to a gig now but will see if i can find a pic of what i'm thinking off. I came across one but they dont make them anymore. Dave

    Does anyone use amp mounted bass hangers. Was thinking of getting one to save taking up a lot of floor space with normal bass stands. Cant seem to find any. What i had in my head was one that hangs across the top of my cabs but below my amp if that makes sense. Dave

    That's a handy tip to know as i usually like to keep as active as possible when i have a flu like illness as i feel it helps keep my lungs clearer. Dave

    Half an hour into my drive home the adrenaline has gone and i just feel sleepy. 😂 Dave

    Got a punk gig tomorrow night. Not sure how its gonna go as our singer got hit quite bad with Covid few weeks ago and she's getting out of breath quite quickly. She still wants to do the gig but will be taking it easy with no jumping about like she normally does. Lucky enough that its a small venue usually filled with followers of the band so that should help make it a bit easier for her. Audience participation will be required LOL Dave

    I like that. Dave

    Now that's a late night gig. I've never heard of that before. Personally its a bit too late for me, i'd be falling asleep during it but that's an age thing. 😂 They do the same in Glasgow area with the motorways shut down completely after 11pm on a Sat for repairs. Some of the detours have taken me an hour just to get back on the motorway again. A journey that normally takes me an hour to get home takes me 2 hrs. Dave

    Enjoy and have fun. Sounds like it could be a great night. Dave

    I think i'm already at that point after 4 yrs with the band 🤣 My problem is i like to learn a cover song as close to the original as possible and tend to write out the bass line note for note. Dave

    I hear good things about some of the HB basses. Certainly great value for money. Dave
  12. dmccombe7
    That could present a few problems later in the evening. Dave

    Paid rehearsal is how i view some gigs. Dave

    Still No Name is a good name for a band. 😂 Dave

    Nice bass, nice tone. What is it ? cant make out the headstock. Dave

    If i wasn't expecting my TT800 in the spring of this year i would have jumped at this. Very rare to see any of the Mesa SW gear for sale at the moment since they stopped shipping outside US. Grab a bargain while you can. GLWTS Dave

    Go on you know ya wanna. Dave

    One of the best sounding amps ever made IMHO. Superb depth of tone but still retaining clarity. I've got the 600 and its way too loud for the Glam and Punk rock bands i play with. Never had my master volume any higher than 11 o'clock with GAIN at 11-12 o'clock and that's playing some large club gigs without going thru FOH. This amp is more than enough for most bands. You can get some amazing tones from lovely low deep mellowness to some biting overdriven rock tones and everything in between. I only use the paraEQ to balance the tones for each venue if needed. Mostly in the off position. Superb build quality. You cant go wrong with a Mesa especially at that price. GLWTS Dave

    I've always been under the impression it was his finger nail but you never know. Dave

    Always nice when you see a pro bassist playing a song same as you do (Waterloo) Great tone from that bass. Dave

    Not sure if this was deliberate Rob but Geddy has a different bass in the pics for the last 4 Rush songs you've posted Yes i'm a saddo that notices these things Dave 😂
  22. dmccombe7
    Definitely !!! Who are these people and what an odd thing to set up. Still.....if everyone was happy then all good. Dave
  23. dmccombe7
    What kind of gig was that ??? Dave
  24. dmccombe7
    Sounds like you have it all in hand. I operate our smoke machines when used but lights are all on sound to light. Drummer owns all the lights but they have a sensitivity control on them for S to L use. Dave

    Exactly what i do. I have lots of notes to the point bands find humour in my love of notes but all in good humour. The other benefit from it is that i know exactly what the song structure is from my notes where others tend to have listened and learned their part but can't remember the structure especially after a break like covid or we reinstate a song we've dropped for a bit.
