  1. I think i've posted this in the calendar too, but here goes.

    A Little Bit Outlaw (See sig) are playing at Manchester Academy 3, supporting Boomin on the 12th of November. Tickets are £6 or £7 on the door, and the lineup is as follows:

    Boomin (Headline)
    Finding Emo
    A Little Bit Outlaw
    New Avenue

    These guys sold out their last Academy show, which was only a 2nd support slot (Same spot we are) which led to the venue putting on an Afterparty for them at a pub across the road. The same will be happening for this gig, so as soon as it finishes we'll be heading across the road for one hell of a night.

    I'll add links to the bands pages later when they aren't blocked (I'm at work) or ALBO can be found in my sig.

    Thanks for reading, hope to see some of you there.

    I actually like the Picato flat wounds! Regardless of the Price and have had several sets with no problems, in fact I am sure I have a set taken off a Spector Rebop if your beater bass has two a side machine head layout, then you can have them FOC,

    Not to Hijack but if Iconic doesnt take these i will. Quite interested in a cheap set of flats myself, just to try them out, as i've never used them before, so this could be of use to me, and £16?! That's less than i pay for the rounds i use on my Squier!!

  3. Local charity festival thing last year, the start of our set was in D Standard, so i had brought my 4 string along too because it was easier than transposing it on my 5 string. We're all onstage ready to go, just tuning up and PING! Snapped my E and A (Well, D and G really, as i was tuned down) strings. 5 string with a capo it is....

    Another gig, last month. I had sat on the edge of the stage for a slower bit in a song, and tried to do that thing where you jump up and backwards to get back onto the stage, only i didnt jump high enough. So for the last chorus of Teenage Dirtbag i was lay in a heap on the floor, having hit my head on a cymbal stand and somehow sprained my wrist in the process, whilst still playing along.

    It's even better playing with a drummer who can play an acoustic kit quietly... :)

    I'm in a band with one. He's so good at it that we can have a band rehearsal with 2 acoustic guitars, 25w bass amp and an unmuted acoustic kit (Rock sizes, 22x1 8 kick, 14x6 snare, 12" and 16" toms) with cymbals.

    I know what you mean about many things being too loud, i think a lot of pub bands are, and i'm 16. I tend to find that i have my earplugs in my pocket any time i'm going out and know theres a possibility of live music.

    Sounds like what you need is a nice MAG300-210 combo with a built-in sub-harmonic... :)

    That isnt as stupid an idea as you made it out to be. There's a local band (You've probably heard of them) called [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KicsxptiFw&feature=related"]Boomin[/url] who's bassist uses an Ashdown ABM and they have a huge sound every time i hear them play.

  6. HI all,

    I'm after some relatively cheap matching 2x10 cabinets, and unfortunately when i've actually got money theres never anything on here. I spotted these on Thomann for £157 each, and they don't look too bad for the price. They're pretty light (18kg) but have a tad lower power handling than i want, and theres nothing on SPL anywhere either.

    Anyone got/used any of these cabs, or any ideas on what to look at which will suit me better?

    Liam

  7. Nobody'll notice that when you're onstage, its not too shabby of a job, better than i could do, and that actually looks like quite a nice P bass. I'm doing the reverse to my Ibanez, going from PJ to P.

    [indent=1]I use them to whip students who can't spell properly. Sometimes I'll flagellate the ones with bad punctuation too, but only if I'm feeling [i]really[/i] cantankerous. :)[/indent]

    Remind me never to take one of your evening classes.

    Back on topic, i stick mine in my gig bag for the rest of eternity (till i break a string really) or when i change strings again.

    Edited for better punctuation so i don't get whipped.

  9. I'm sure i've commented on this before, but nonetheless...

    The only thing i would change about the gear i have no (Amp wise) is the fact that i wish my head was a little lighter. I don't have any cabs as of yet (Till i get paid next week :)) so i can't really comment on those. I have had a few dealings with other cabs over the past few months with my head, and i must say, that a Warwick ProFet 5.1 coupled with an Ampeg SVT-810e is one hell of a combination.

    In short, im not 100% happy, as i don't have any cabs, and i'm still gassing for a Mesa Boogie BB750 + 2x210/2x410/2x212 rig....

  10. Welcome to the forum. Looks like you have quite a few projects going on there, i'll have to check them out later when i get chance. When i joined BC i didnt know about the marketplace, but i soon discovered the amazing deals in there...
