[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1447161068' post='2905357'] What is the "overkill" 1800w SS amp you use and what cab(s) do you use with it? I also play with a deep, clean reggae tone and I'm quite happy with my Markbass LM11 into 2x15" cabs, but it lacks the sheer oomph of a big rig.

I play with a deep, clean tone,and this needs more power than usual. I've tried various amps ranging from 100w (valve) to 440w (ss) to 900w (class d) None have come close to the tone that I get (at gigging volume) with my "overkill" 1800w SS amp All of these amps can do gigging volume, but it's about the tone.

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1447005925' post='2904094'] Surely a cabinet maker is an Artisan just as a Luthier is (there are many synergies between these craft skills) and can build to the customers requirements. 👍 [/quote] I could build you one, but it would cost something in the region of £2k Great idea though. A cheaper option would be to pick up a chest of drawers or printers chest from an auction and convert

Yeah, could have had someone's eye out

I'd never have guessed that - those are sixteenths Great song, and a proper workout for those plucking fingers.

Gravel/concrete/brick wall I agree. I wouldn't be bothered about a garden chair though

Just one, a polytune mini. I really don't like the look of headstock tuners

The show has sold out already according to Planet Rock

Stone Roses' "Breaking into Heaven" is a pretty long intro, maybe four minutes? Just checked this, it's 4:57

You're not giving us much to work with, umm the Beatles rooftop gig?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1446386365' post='2898934'] I like the look of it too, but 'Surine' reminds me of 'ursine', i.e. bear-like. Just sayin'. Ooh look, it's time for my meds. [/quote] Looks notice, and brings to mind both the MM Big Al and Alpher. I'm not sure I could have a bass with 'urine' in its name though

This is pretty dinky https://www.vein-tap.com/product/little-horn-guitar-boost-pedal/ A simple clean boost, but I'd check it does bass as well as guitar. The Markbass Super Booster is good, but huge!

Cheers HJ, yeah, next up is with Neville Staples which is pretty cool - need to get some booked in after that though. Here's one from the Black History Month gig at Nottingham Contemporary last night: [Img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/FB_IMG_1446578948054_zpsnu1skapr.jpg" class="ipsImage" />

Next up is a gig supporting the original rudeboy Neville Staples and band (the Specials) The Maze, Mansfield Rd, Nottingham 20th November

Yeah, the Shuttle is tiny, so well worth bringing this first time just in case. Good luck!

Well done for getting through it, and glad you're on the up!

The Sundays: Here's where the story ends

Have we had Fleetwood Big Mac?

"Do you play any latin music?" "Well, I've been known to dip in and out of salsa"

Tricky to pull off, but could be great. Also an excuse to buy crazy reverse effect pedals.. http://youtu.be/eFuE-thYZ1A

Gorgeous song from the chemicals http://youtu.be/Cj7F0KU367s
