Thanks for the comments. Having been bowled over by a RH750 through my Eden XST, I'm holding out for the pennies at present...Unless someone has an RH750 they wanna trade! -
Saturday 8th October - Good beer. Good atmosphere...and me and my Lakland JoBo5 & Fretless with my band The Bridge. Pint of beer to the man who taps me on the shoulder and says, "oi mate, stop overplaying and buy me a pint!" [attachment=90836:NYMAD.JPG] Ooops...too much beer on stage in Finland!

[size=5][b]Welcome[/b][/size] [size=5]Up for sale, or limited trade, is my 2006 Eden Metro Combo which is in in excellent condition. I bought this amp from [i]Andertons[/i] as an ex-demo product, which had been accordingly serviced and checked over by Surrey Amps, (Eden specialist) before being dispatched. I have subsequently changed the pre-amp tube and serviced it a couple of times in the last four years that I have owned the amp.[/size] [size=5]The amp shows very little signs of use. The covering is clean, with the corner caps still looking good. I have always kept the amp in a Roq-Solid cover, (included in the sale) and it's condition reflects this. I only gig in 'nice' venues and then put my amp back under the stairs![/size] [size=5]Have a read of Bass Guitar Magazine's review of the amp...[/size] [url="http://www.eden-electronics.com/info/reviews/pdf/BGM_06MetroReview.pdf"][size=5][b]CLICK HERE[/b][/size][/url] [size=5][b]Impressive![/b][/size] [size=5]A two channel, valve/solid state amp which delivers more than enough grunt, (clean grunt at that!) for most gigging situation. Or do what I do and add another cab....It'll run down to 2 Ohms.[/size] [size=5]Transport arrangements.......[/size] [size=5]Pick up from Cheltenham[/size] [size=5]I'm happy to drive for an hour to meet up[/size] [size=5]You get the quote and organise a courier at your expense[/size] [size=5][b]Price is £525 ...or you could buy the same amp in the same condition from the [i]The Gallery [/i]for £1099.[/b][/size] [size=5]Very happy to answer any questions. 07837 595384[/size] [size=5]All the best.[/size] [size=5][b][attachment=89677:Metro face.jpg][attachment=89678:back panel.jpg][attachment=89679:valve.jpg][attachment=89680:fet.jpg][attachment=89681:cover.jpg][attachment=89682:back.jpg][/b][/size]

Playing at [i]Kivenlahden Seurahuone[/i] on Friday 29th July at 9pm, in Espoo which is right next to Helsinki....2000km journey from Cheltenham...the car leaves at 3.30am..... A large pint to anyone who taps me on the shoulder and says, " I saw the link on BASSCHAT and just had to come!" Of course, if you live in the area, the offer still stands! Mark

Gents I'm playing in Helsinki, Finland next Friday. The rest of the band are really happy with the gear provided, but I've been provided with an ABM 500 1x15 Combo and an RBX 170. I'm gonna take a set of strings to liven her up, but does anyone have any experience of whether she'll be good enough to play a gig with...It's mainly Pop/Soul/Rock...but there are half-a-dozen "thumbed" lines...is this a disaster waiting to happen!? I really don't wanna take a bass with me! Any input.... Mark

Hi folks... Couldn't see where else to post this.... My band The Bridge www.4thebridge.com are playing at a pub in Cheltenham on Friday 10th June. Our support has let us down and we'd like another one! So...Are you a covers band in the Cheltenham Area who would like a gig. Play for an hour? Use our PA & backline with our sound engineer, (he's a real one!) There is no money in it for us...so I'm afraid there would be no pennies available.. Anybody fancy it.... Mark

The answer... Eden 210XST...frequency response from 30Hz, 500W and excellent quality A sound engineer working on a gig for me called mine EVIL because of its capability... Food for thought.

Location?

I do hope it's nice...My band is playing in Espoo in July! Looking for gear to hire if you know anywhere good? Mark

How do I get more gigs with the function band?
okusman replied to bassfunk's topic in General Discussion
Have a decent website, that is updated and relevant. Think about what you can do differently as a band from every other function band out there. There are hundreds and hundreds of bands playing a very similar body of music in a very similar way. My band has decent musicians, but realise that most clients remember the fact we were smiling and dancing and putting on a great visual performance. They won't remember the set list; but they do remember the interaction that they had with you. The whole band BOTHER when they met the client. Everyone is gushing and polite and nothing is too much hassle. You might not mean it, but it means recommendations. Great kit is important. We didn't take a penny for years, because we've spent a fortune on having a great quality PA etc. We always have a professional Sound Engineer mxing the band. How the hell can the bass player be expected to mix a sound whilst playing. We spend money promoting ourselves on Gig-Guide and it pays us back 1000-fold! Spend money on proper cards/promo material. Play for nothing now and again... We played at the local pub, promoted it via friends and the internet and got two weddings out of it.... We turn down far more than we play. 11 years together, and each year is better and better....We are flying to Finland to play in July! Oh...and the main thing. Enjoy the music, the friendship, each others company or it will die very quickly. Best wishes -
I was optomistic....Nice village location in the Cotswolds. 200 guests for the evening 'do'..... HOWEVER.... Forced to get there VERY early to have background music while they ate....and the groom forgot his Ipod! "Don't worry...we've got an Ipod with appropriate music on..." Groom then realised the "First Dance" was on his Ipod! "Don't worry...we'll download it from ITunes and sort it out for you" Set up gig and retired to the pub across the road....Hmmmm....very scary locals who wanted to fight the band....errr...couple of pints and get the hell out... Back to gig, and concerned by the number of tatooed/bleached haired female guests assembled... First set great...went down a storm...retire outside with a plate of food... Joined by Trace & San from the Fat Sl*gs cartoon strip who proceed to eat MY food and belch and hiccup.....I wanna go home. Payment received..redouble efforts for the second set. Going well...but everyone is blind drunk.... Bride and groom leaving now....The whole audience disappear....we're playing to the bar staff.... Knock it on the head and get the hell out of it! Packed up and on the M5 in less than an hour. Who'd play in a band ehh! My highlight of the evening was the drummer inserting Sherbet Lemons up his nose...and them getting stuck...FACEBOOK seemed the obvious place for the picture. What about you lot?

I tried both when I finally bought my JO5. It was down to styling for me too ......and I've gone mad with an Audere Preamp and Bartolinis since then. It's a great 5...I think I am the only man in Cheltenham that's got one!
