    I use a cut down version of [url="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60150176"]this[/url] underneath my Aggie GS112 and LMII. It flexes a bit but seems man enough to support the cab and amp no problem. When travelling to and from gigs it sits on the cab under the padded cover. I made it slightly narrower so that it didn't stick out either side of the cab. The cut off strip I use on the top of the cab to stop the amp slipping backwards as there's a convenient lip which fits over the front of the cab and then provides a lip to support the back of the amp. I'll post some pics of it in action if anyones interested. There, bet you never know that Ikea catered for bassists Pete

    Up for sale is this great example of an SX Precision Currently strung with Status Hotwire flats and has a spiral barreled bridge and a Wizard Thumper pickup. Originally bought from another basschatter (neilb) who will attest to how great this bass sounds I'm sure. :-) I believe the bass was shipped from Rondo Music in the US. This bass has been mainly used for home practice and for a couple of gigs playing as part of the house band supporting a local choir. It's great and gives a lovely thumpy sound, but I've decided that I prefer jazz style necks and as I've just recently aquired a new Mex Classic 70's Jazz this just isn't going to get the use it deserves. The bass is in excellent condition with just a few light scratches on the pick guard and a tiny tiny dent in the top of the headstock (which isn't really worth mentioning but means I can't list the bass as 'mint' :-) ) (It has sold me on flats though, so I'm definitely going to string one of my Jazz basses with flats). I'm looking for £130 collected or P&P at cost. I'm willing to arrange a meet up to 1 hours drive from Bristol if that helps. Cheers Pete

    [quote name='karlthebassist' post='734400' date='Feb 3 2010, 07:33 PM']Thinking about getting a cover or two for my Aguilar cabs after getting one really wet the other day... My problem is I just want something thin and light that I can fold away when I'm not using them. Most covers seem a bit ridgid. Anyone know of anything? Karl[/quote] Hi Karl I managed to knock up a couple of cheap covers for my pair of GS112's (co-incidentally) by picking up some faux leather fabric from Hobbycraft and badgering my mum to get her sewing machine out to make two simple drop over covers. The bonus is that this fabric appears to be fairly waterproof (apart from the small hole in the top to allow the cab handle to poke through and was cheap. (Less than a tenner to do both cabs).

Now I need something to play on... Haven't progressed the workshop idea though - are folks still up for it?[/quote] Definitely count me in for the workshop session if it goes ahead. Cheers Pete

    Actually, how about a DB Workshop where a group of wannabe DB players could turn up. (I'm another who is thinking of taking the plunge and based in Bristol) :-) Just askin...

    Just bought Andy's Zoom H2 recorder. Arranged a halfway meet, comms were excellent and Andy is a thoroughly nice chap to deal with. Cheers Pete

    I've got the mp3 version and think it's great! You can add loads of mp3's onto it split into different folders for different projects etc. Set up a playlist of tunes and put it in gig order if you like. Enhance or remove the bass from recorded tracks. Speed up and slow down stuff and change pitch etc at will. If mine ever dies (it's decond hand off a fellow basschatter) and its looking well used now, I would definitely get another. Tascam have a version out now that's a recorder as well. Pricey, but could be even more useful... YMMV etc, etc.

    Tabs

    xzodar posted a topic in Theory and Technique

    I've needed to look for some Tab's to learn some tunes for the rock covers band I'm playing in. Universally I've found that the majority of Tabs available seem to be either wrong or incomplete. I can read notation if that's available, or slowly work stuff out by listening so no problem really. I've read numerous other posts on this forum with the same comments regarding how inaccurate most tabs are. Are we all as bassists reading these tabs and then making the corrections but not posting them somewhere when we have done the work to make them right? If that's true then surely lots of us are just spending loads of times working out the same tunes for ourselves. Would it be possible to share the (correct) knowledge of Basschatters somewhere with all of the correct versions of these tunes (for educational purposes)? Just askin...

    Thanks for your replies guys. Yes, I'm going to go in at the higher end of what has been mentioned and see what they say. As you say, if you don't ask...

    The thing is, really this will be 3 days in total. A day to drive out. A day to rest after travelling and then setup and play the gig, followed by a tear down and drive home. Personally I'd do it just beacuse it would be great experience and probably a laugh, but some people in the band would probably expect to be paid something at least for each day of their time. Maybe I'll just put in a silly quote and see what reaction I get :-) (Cos I'll be the poor sod who has to organise everyone) Did I mention that there are 14 people in the band and its like trying to herd cats sometimes

    Hi Guys I'm looking for a bit of advice really. I've just been approached regarding the 14 piece band which I run doing a gig at a military base in Germany in December. The agency doing the booking wants a price from me to do the gig. Apparently they cover the ferry costs, fuel and accomodation. I need to get 16 people (14 musicians and 2 sound guys/crew) instruments and PA/lighting rig etc to Germany and back in one piece. Anyone have any suggestions as to the sort of ball park figure we should be looking at? To give you some kind of idea, we would normally be expecting around £1800 to £2000 for a wedding gig with anything more than an hours travel time involved. Anyone had to quote for this kind of thing before (I'm sure that some of you have...) Many thanks in advance for any words of wisdom. Cheers Pete

    Hi The band I play tenor and Bari sax in called 'Bring Down The House' are in need of a new bassist as Matt has decided to move on after over 6 years in the band. Bring Down The House are a covers band, playing a mixture of weddings, private parties and public gigs with a broad mix of tunes to appeal to different people. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings usually 2 - 3 times a month and generally play anywhere between 12 and 20 gigs per year. The band are a great bunch, but you have to be in it for the love rather than the money as well paid gigs when there are that many people in the band seem to be few and far between. There's a sample of the kind of tunes that we play at [url="http://www.bringdownthehouse.org"]www.bringdowwnthehouse.org[/url]. I'll be looking to run auditions in July with the aim of the new bassist being ready to gig at the end of August. Please get in touch if you would like more info or call me via the mobile number listed on the site. Cheers Pete
