[quote name='jezzaboy' post='852159' date='May 30 2010, 09:51 PM']I play in a covers band and am very happy with it. The only problem is we only play twice a month at the most. We can`t do any more due to our singer getting a hard time from his wife and we have knocked back umpteen gigs recently due to this. I would like to gig every weekend if possible, so, I have thought about joining another band to fill up my time. The only problem I can see is that there are obiously a couple of saturday`s a month that I am commited too. Now, I know that some of youz guys and gals are in 2 or sometimes more, band, so how do you approach this? Understanding bandmates? Any pointers will be gladly taken in. Cheers, Jez[/quote] My first wife did similar things and eventually gave me an ultimatum. I play every week now and have done for 15 years + Somethings are just more important.

Do you think Neil Young's "old black" might be the most valuable guitar on the planet? Unless Jesus Christ played a strat I can't think of anyone else.

Considered a Jap? I think they are great.

I had a Marcus sig bass but after some endeavour couldn't get on with the active pups. I sold the body and put the neck on a 75 RI Jap body. I also installed some meaty wizzard pups. I have had no neck issues and it's been over 12 months. I think the necks are more or less the same except the Marcus is a 3 bolt.

still do .. get coat ...

I have always used the term "caggy handed" perhaps this is a Black Country derrivative of cack handed? +1 for spaker.

Very, very, very nice.

Alright mate! My great grandfather and his brothers spent a lot of time in Belgium during 1915. A couple of them are still there. Like your tone.

I'd love 10 minutes with her, although would probably struggle to find something to do for the last 7 minutes.

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='830068' date='May 6 2010, 09:37 PM']Just checked this to be sure. The Markbass Sa450 owners manual gives guidance on the characteristics and use of frequencies of the low, low - mid, upper mid etc Helped my understanding by more than a tad !! T[/quote] Yes will have to dig it out and a general mess about. Always pleased with this amp though, a real Rolls Royce of an amp.

I have my markbass SA450 flat. You can hear everything. Might give the mids a whirl though as ther are the extra ones? I wonder what they would do?

I'd put money on her having an inexplicably orange face to boot.

Does anybody else think that the Leon Quan badass II sounds like a wok?

Remember Father Ted's car

I modded a jazz with a nice chunky gotoh bridge. I have had a badass on a Marcus Jazz and the gotoh was just as good but 1/3 of the price.

[quote name='cetera' post='823804' date='Apr 30 2010, 10:39 AM']I'd now that stage anywhere.... The Robin2 in Bilston?!? [/quote] 10 out of 10. We headline there once a year and occasionaly support a named artist, The Blockheads usually. It is our Wembley Stadium. Most weeks we are scrunched up in the corner of a pub. It's all good times though!!!

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='823663' date='Apr 30 2010, 07:43 AM']Was Craig David on the same bill that night? [/quote] Great picture mate, I have saved it and will treasure it always. Nice one.

Somebody told me I looked angry when I played last week? Perhaps I will appear constipated at tomorrows gig?

I'm not a miserable git as pictured.

[quote name='ikay' post='820659' date='Apr 27 2010, 02:13 PM']+++ a pair of Bergies is a great way to go, fantastic depth of sound and easy to lug around. I use mine with an LMIII and it's a no hassle great sounding rig. Not cheap but the best gear investment I ever made[/quote] ditto, beat me to it.

[quote name='alanbass1' post='818847' date='Apr 26 2010, 08:19 AM']Don't dismiss 12" cabs. I use a pair of Bergantino 1x12's and they are great as well as portable - huge sound[/quote] Yes! I also made the plunge and got a MarkBass SA450 amp to go with the bergs. Cost a few £ but I have everything I need for every occasion. Loads of power and the tone of my Jazzes cut through loud and clear at all frequencies. The lightweight of the bergs is also a big +. I also used Ashdown Mag 300 and 4x10 ashdown cab for years which was great in a covers band. I just wanted a little less wool and more true output as most gigs the bass is not through the PA.
