  1. as a song writer,musician producer in my humble opinion he was one of the best, such a shame his personal life over shadowed his talent in later years seemed as if the self destruct button was pressed but I was looking forward to the new album ect next year rip george
  2. firstly thank you very much for all the advice given it has given me lots to think about, so the bass I am using is a squire vm jazz it has upgraded p/ups,the action is very low as well but other wise is standard,the stings I currently use are extra light gauge strings,not because I bend a lot,but small hands,short fingers, thanks again stef
  3. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1481993652' post='3196860'] Strings will feel smoother...think you mean Danny not Alan (who played football)! [/quote] aha now I did mean alan thomson who played on the piece by piece tour, danny played double bass
  4. so here I am throwing myself at the great fountain of knowledge that is bass chat, as long as I can remember I have used ernie balls on all my basses the only change is that as I have got older I use lighter gauge strings so now I want to try some flats on my fretless jazz, and would like to know roughly how different it will sound as to having roundwounds on, cost is not a issue, more of a how will it feel on my fingers I am looking for that alan thomson type sound he that playied with john martyn ect ect thankyou in advance sfef
  5. thanks a few people here have heard and they have all said the same thing I absolutely love playing and would play at the opening of a letter but what is right is right funnily enough some one said does that mean you refuse to play for charity then no I reply but when was a tight money grabbing landlord charity oh and I also found out they were turned down by a couple of bands and to add insult to injury they were offered more than us just makes you wonder what goes on in peoples heads cheers stef
  6. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1481465902' post='3192451'] I think you did the right thing. [/quote] thank you sir still not heard a thing,not really that fussed its their loss
  7. here in east sussex £250 is average, and we are a five piece so this is what happened to us, a pub asked us to play for a lower fee,given as we had never played in this pub before we all agreed on the proviso that there would be full paying gigs to follow, that's is not a problem she says we played the gig,pub was busy,people drinking and dancing and a good time was had by all guvner left at the end saying good job yadda yadda yadda nothing not a peep,for a few weeks always not there or busy ect ect, then right out off the blue last week I get a message would we like to play on boxing day, nice I thought,200 I am told only to find out later that day its 200 for the band so I automaticly say no way the drummer is the same the other guys say why not really I said are you that desperate,I for one wont be there, absolute insult then this big thing kicks off, about no budget ect ect,and they would not see that it is a piss take, the pub had a band cancel ect ect big band meeting me I am the bad guy,ut no I aint doing it they can if they want to, I have said get a dep in, they then said don't I know how much that will cost rest my case enjoy the gig guys funnily enough not heard anything since hey ho
  8. ah memories, back in the day I gigged with a hh bass machine,only stopped using it when I got my ampeg svt 4x10 combo which was equally as heavy then got a 2x10 combo with a extention cab, just got rid of that now use 2 1x12 cabs and a mark bass head and my back is very gratefull I thank you
  9. [i] guitarist in the band I was in said enough is enough,when I questioned why he replied that I like a laugh too much and now I quote,my questionable morals makes me someone he would much less know than play with,so I thanked him for the glowing reference wished the silly old fool all the best,given that I am happily married in my late fifties who does not drink,smoke or do drugs did make me chuckle [/i]
  10. cheers, looking at 2 1x12s and amp

[size=4]g[/size][b]ood evening one and all[/b] [b]yet again I throw myself at the combined expertise known as basschat,[/b] [b]the dilemma that I have is at present I use a gallien kruger backline 2x10 combo [/b] [b]with a matching 2x10 cab, [/b] [b]I want to go down the 1x12 or 1x10 cab route with a amp,oh that would be two cabs, [/b] [b]it is a case of given that I play a five string ect and what I use now handles that,[/b] [b]but I am unsure about only having two by one ten cabs which is just down to my own inexperience with them [/b] [b]so my question is what are your recomendations given that I play blues,covers ect,pubs and the like [/b] [b]budgets well [/b] about 700 to 800 plus trading my gallien kruger kit thanks in advance for the advice, cheers stef
