Mark bass stuff. It's the yellow. They sound good but they're yellowy. Warwick bass body shapes. Just wrong. Custom woody single cuts. Worktops more like. Sunburst finishes. Tories.

Sweet bass. John Paul Jones uses a maple board fretless p iirc.

I always bump up the insurance though to cover replacement of the item just in case but have had no problems. I also always package stuff to withstand a nuclear strike!

loved AOTGL, its a brilliant album. Not heard anything else but will check out their later stuff based on this thread. Thanks MB1!

Rog bought my mixeramp & was a pleasure to deal with, good communication, swift payment & top Basschatter all round! Would heartily recommend dealing with him, folks! Cheers, Si.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1375262841' post='2158898'] just my opinion of course, and I play in a punk band where using a pick is almost compulsory [/quote] Downstrokes only or it aint proper punk! ;-)

To me it sounds mainly in the way he plays, bass up treble up, mids cut, hit hard & fast with a pick for max clank & buzz. Cool sound but a bit wearing if used in every song!

Had a bright blue one of these in my 80's NWOBHM days! Hideously ace, used to play it low round me knees, if I'd ever let go the neck it would of smashed into the floor in a microsecond, ha ha, horrible triangular neck too. Fun though!

Like the combination of spoken & sung vox, even the super speedy jazzy noodle bit (of which I'm not usually fond) fits the groove well. Like it, good work fellas! Cheers, Norm

Excellent party band, 2 great lead singers, they are both honeys! Top notch stuff, the gigs should come flying in! Bass players alright n'awl ;-) Cheers, Norm

[quote name='njr911' timestamp='1374578685' post='2150321'] Thanks for the suggestions! Why passive and not active ? [/quote] By passive I meant non powered speakers ie just speakers in a box no amp. Maybe I'm getting mixed up? I equated active with powered? We had the amp in the mixer not the speakers. I've also used Mackie kit with a mixer & powered speakers, very good kit too. Either way round the kit with the amp is going to be heavy! The Peavey stuff is workhorse kit, nowt fancy but tough & relatively cheap & a good place to start IMHO. I take it you have mics, stands, leads etc already so roughly £280 for a s/h mixeramp (mine inclds 3 speakon speaker leads!), £280ish for a s/h pair of speakers & £150 for a s/h powered wedge plus £200 for ancillaries, speaker stands, extra leads (dont forget spare!) That comes to £910 so say a grand & that will get you a pub gig ready system. Split between band members shouldn't be too painful. All the best, Norm

For a start buy the Peavey mixeramp I've got up in the "other musical equip" market place! ;-) plug plug. Its 9 channel 500w per side into 4 ohm cabs. Then pick up a pair of passive 4 ohm cabs from the market place here or t'bay, Peavey, yamaha, Mackie etc decent makes but not too much s/h. That would get you started & then add monitors when you can afford. We used it for vox only Indie covers in pubs, perfect for a small band. Also you should be getting a few quid playing pubs, £100-£200 per down my way. If you're not you should be! Cheers, Norm

Just dull really imho. Critically acclaimed I know but I didnt get it either like earlier posters. Could of been due to the usual beeb sound but I couldn't hear the bass. or was he just holding it for show? Like the hipster spills expresso quote, :-) very funny & also prob why I dont "get" them!

Hopefully, still playing with the blockheads, as they are headlining the godney gathering this year! Down in Somerset on 20th July.
