I was at folkestone, bugger, i didn't realise it was 9 below zero as support and yes bass was far too low in the mix, and no mosh pit ??

[quote name='mark_random' timestamp='1394185145' post='2388771'] Hi Pete. Mark from GAK here. Thanks so much for this. Always nice to get some good feedback! [/quote]hi Mark, how you getting on hunting down my left hand Gibson sg special bass? Paul

There are some straplocks (not mine) for sale in other musically related on here, schallers i believe

The Stranglers, saw them for the 1st time in 1978 and went to see them last night in Folkestone,

[quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1394193601' post='2388969'] Andertons are now listing all of the Gibson 2014 basses in left handed, with piccies that do not look like they have been reversed in Photoshop........pity the arrival time is 'No ETA'. [/quote]thanks for that, i've been after one for ages, they shouldn't advertise them if they can't get them.

We're all too blind to see our set lists

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1393927376' post='2385805'] The energy changes - it doesn't go. In the case of someone like Roger Daltrey - worldwide mega star - seen it . done it . had a flunky buy the T shirt for him , I imagine the opportunity to get on stage and just rock out is an absolute breath of fresh air to him. That's where energy comes from. I have slice of this sometimes. We walk in a strange venue and the eyebrows go up. They see a bunch of grey hairs and think they'll be getting a clapped out lounge act. When they're pinned against the back wall by a wave of aggression and attitude they change their tune. We get the young bloods in for a gloat - they usually leave thinking 'for fcuk's sake how do we top that ?' Easy - they don't ! Folk do what they want , for as long as they want. If they want to change - fine. If not , what's wrong with playing the material you're proud of , that made your name , to punters who want to hear you do it. Sorry , mate , but I look around me and see many of my pals getting older ( in mind and in body) by the day. They all seem to have one thing in common - that's a mind set closer to yours than mine. The young bull and the old bull spotted a field of cows in the distance. The young bull said 'let's charge down there and shag a few'. The old bull said 'No - let's stroll over and shag the lot'.

[quote name='nash' timestamp='1392987318' post='2374960'] Is the standard iRig mini jack interface good? [/quote]i use irig and find it very good, i think you have to pay for a bass amp in app store, i downloaded the ampeg one but no doubt there's loads more now.

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1392986382' post='2374936'] I've never used the volume control on a bass as anything other than an on/off switch. [/quote]yup, me also

I left my old band after 10 years, we travelled the world together and got on really well, i went to see them at the Dartford Orchard theatre and walked out half way through. Although we had good times i REALLY had had enough of it.
