Yep big fan. Only know the Tim Buckley or This mortal coil version of this.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1413235294' post='2576291'] Gear 4 Music have got an Ampeg BA115 combo on offer at £199 (down from £374) which is 100W and would just about do you for small venues. But it's 62lb (28kg). I think you may have to compromise, somewhere.

It's got a DI out though, so you could go to PA for bigger gigs and use it as a stage monitor. [/quote] Ive used one of these in a rehearsal studio nice sound and good for small gigs and with pa backup bigger ones.

Hartke ? S/h?

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1412886131' post='2573077'] Well, I was going to avoid watching it but that rant provokes a sort of perverse curiosity... [/quote] DON'T DO IT !

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1412862368' post='2572774'] Didn't know what all the fuss was about. Until I listened. I am not a prejudiced man and - though some may believe otherwise - it is a [i]very[/i] rare day when I find myself reduced to sheer, choking rage Let us set aside the ham-fisted arrangement, lumpy mix and turgid 'beat'. Let us quell the nausea we may have experienced upon viewing the soupy, simpering visuals which accompanied the 'music'. Let us ignore issues of provenance and draw a veil over questions of faithfulness to the original. The truth is that this performance of 'God Only Knows' is truly the most appalling piece of sh*t I've heard in a long life that includes enforced exposure to the [i]oeuvres[/i] of Paper Lace and Mr Russ Abbott. One may not even recline on the old chestnut of 'the valueless-ness of subjective opinion in musical criticism'. By every objective measure the song falls so low as to be skimming the bricks at the bottom of the sewer. The fact that it is intended to support a charitable effort in no way detracts from its unutterable loathsomeness. In fact it makes it worse; if this is the best the BBC can do in a noble cause, God help us all when they aren't much bothered. Stuff for charity doesn't [i]have[/i] to be half-arsed, y'know; the authenticity of the charitable transaction is not [i]undermined[/i] by professionalism, taste and talent. In any event, it is immaterial whether a musical performance is intended to relieve - say - the suffering of the Thomson's gazelle or merely to line the pockets of its composer. A song's ulterior purpose is irrelevant to its inherency. This being the case I shall now proceed to youtube, there to seek out 'The Horst Wessel Lied'. It may have been the Nazis' marching song but it's musically superior to this bloated, formulaic, self-regarding train-wreck. It will also make my ears vomit, the better to resume normal listening.

[quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1412771166' post='2571812'] You beat me, I only lasted about 5 seconds and had to stop and go out for a fag. [/quote] If I'd watched any longer I would have probably started smoking again

Somebody just sent me a link to this awful piece of cheesy crap. I want the part of my licence fee spent on this latest BBC sub strictly calumny refunded. I only lasted as long as the bit where The Anita Dobson look a like that used to be in Queen appeared and had to stop. Why oh why as they say on points of view.

[quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1412238127' post='2566945'] That bass looks like it got dressed in the dark! [/quote] Brilliant

Having defretted my old bass awhile ago id say £90 is well worth it

[quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1411794457' post='2562842'] That was only for research purposes. [/quote] So err just how is the book coming along Pete?

Also there are interesting similarities to both Apple's and U2 plc's tax policies

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1410440110' post='2549453'] Great marketing move from U2... wonder how much that cost them..??? My phone is music free unless I youtube it. That is not what I want from it, tbh. [/quote] According to Private Eye this week Apple paid Bonio and friends £100 million to use their new album.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1410206822' post='2547183'] We played at small Nottingham festival Medfest on Saturday. When we arrived, I was disappointed to see a sparse turnout, with a smattering of people passively sitting watching the great Mike Rutherford Band pumping out some blues crowd-pleasers. A couple of reggae acts followed and then us as the final act. Thankfully a group of friends/fans came along and we got a great atmosphere going, with people dancing and kids with too much candy floss in their systems dancing and running like mad things. My six year old daughter, Maya, had been promised last year that she could sing with the band on her favourite song 'Lollipop' so we decided that this would be the gig. It was lovely having her on stage, and she did brilliantly - she was chuffed to bits and is really proud, especially as she was very nervous beforehand. Thats a really nice pic. Welll done Maya [/quote]

Cold turkey, a couple of days of extreme grumpines and I was cured alright. Been clean for about 8 years now and can't ever imagine smoking again after spending most of my adult life as a serial quitter Go for it and if you fall off the wagon get back on again and you' will stop if you really want to.

Love my sx p bass bought from WHUFC on here a few years ago. a good ash body and ok neck although its now a bit of a trigger's broom: wizard pickup,gotoh hardware and cts pots. Ive also added a mighty mite fender licenced neck and its really good and still has only cost me less than £200 in total Suggest similar mods to your mm one would work really well

[quote name='dand666' timestamp='1409602263' post='2541464'] Duane was, like many others, ahead of his time. He got the best out of Clapton, if there are a few of you that have not (for some silly reason) checked out the Derek and Dominoes album, do it now. Phenomenal. [/quote] Absolutely

[quote name='dand666' timestamp='1409577998' post='2541053'] Can't get enough of Whipping Post. Too good. [/quote] Me neither The live (filmore east ?) version of Stormy Monday is terrific too! Great band

These are different to the one I have Mines the later one with 4 knobs

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1408736229' post='2533143'] Hi Lonestar There's another TL 5 up for grabs ATMO. Timing is lousy my contract has been put back 2 weeks so I should be curtailing bass buys. If you're stuck for parts in future try over on TB, a lot of Peavey owners there strangely not so staunch MIA as owners of some other brands. Sure someone there could help locate parts. [/quote] Thanks mate.

Great band I wish I was going. Watched the Kate Bush biog and kate at the BBBC last night on BBC4. Brilliant

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1407785476' post='2524050'] Lonestar that was a great deal for the Landers. You're right about buyers AT I counted only 10 items with bids tonight out of 50 lots. [/quote] Sure was for a US made signature bass. Had a reall problem trying to source replacement stacked pots though. Even Peavey USA couldn't find one.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1407932608' post='2525435'] Not much you can do about poor time. It would be a deal breaker for me. [/quote] Me too. Id be looking for a new gig straight away. Everyone should be responsible for their own timekeeping to some degree although I find it's always best blame drummer if things go awry.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1406924656' post='2516019'] Anything by snow patrol or coldplay, boring. [/quote] Oh god no I don't think that I can think of a worse couple of artists to cover. I've had a big falling out with a guitard in a previous band after refusing to play anything by Coldplay.

I bought my peavey tim landers signature bass on fleabay a few years ago for £323 . There were no other bidders
