At least when you saw some dodgy geezer in a sheepskin coat outside Hammersmith odeon you knew that he was a tout

nuff said interesting solo on 6 string with octave (>>> 1:47) [media]http://youtu.be/zxQHRhMpM8Y[/media]

Nay nay and thrice nay hope this helps

we played a 50th birthday party last night at local pub for a lady with pink hair dressed as a mermaid shame i didnt realise until packing my gear down that my 115 cab had come unplugged and was only the 410 working all night

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1417957904' post='2625395'] The 410 however, pretty much handles whatever you want to throw at it and is an affordable, good all round enclosure. Adding the 115 just phattens out the tone. [/quote] +1 i use a vx115 with my 410 at the moment until i can afford the hydrive 115 - doesnt add much at all in the way of definition or clarity but it does give that extra bit of air moving right down the very low end (as well as sucking the full remaining power out of the head running it at 4 ohm instead of 8ohm with just the 410)

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1418548090' post='2630983'] The triplets in "Roadhouse Blues". The worst thing is that there's a youtube video (the "how to play bass" guy) who describes it as "beginner" level! B*****d I really struggle with a lot of funk style stuff. Although I can nail the notes, the feel is real struggle and I'm at a bit of a loss for how to fix it. Just not in me I suppose. [/quote] you mean this one? shame if it's so easy that the triplets aren't quite 'even' [media]http://youtu.be/uqOZyTNSO-w[/media]

Had one for two years and very pleased with it - has a 3 way switch - off 1 2 - for the compression driver which is very bright - plenty of low end drive and mid punch - cab isn't light but what 410 is? But it is about as compact as you could make a 410 - the tolex covering is not the tuffest so will start showing scuff marks unless you use covers for transport - if you find a good used one at good price if say they are the best bang for your buck in that range

Boss LMB3 adds a nice boost and colour to the tone Sansamp boxes are v good too

i guess so but a proper kick drum mic would obviously provide the optimum response - and shove it right in the hole (kickport that is - some people put it just outside the hoile but a friend who is a recording engineer of some considerable experience prefers putting the mic head into the kick port) or alternatively keep him out of the PA and just send him to the gym to do some squats hope this helps

the venue was rather splendid playing a social do for the horticultural researchers at east malling in the fantastic bradbourne house - but the buffet didnt start until half time but once they had been suitably fed a significant number of them ventured on to the dance floor - just a shame my head decided to develop a fault half way through so second half was done at slightly less volume with me playing direct through the PA - not the best of sound due to the extremley lofty ceiling this along with our last gig at leeds castle have been the best two green rooms so far but much better food here at bradbourne than at the leeds

does he have a kick port?

[quote name='deepbass5' timestamp='1416740385' post='2612995'] Conservative club in Oxford - we wore purple ties and the singer a matching purple dress. no one said a word - they seem to be accepting the colour now [/quote] should have offered them some fruitcake as well

i would personally give them a sharp dig in the ribs with your antlers - that headline font is dreadful tsk tsk

sorry no groove - was all recorded one track/instrument at a time? not a bad song - has potential but needs more groove between drums and bass

you will NOT be able to 'unwatch' this [url="http://youtu.be/mxzgwJ8tSE0"]http://youtu.be/mxzgwJ8tSE0[/url]

did the heart of kent hospice winter ball on friday at leeds castle (not in the castle itself but in the fairfax hall which is one of the buildings in the whole complex) - i cringed when i first walked in at the sight of all the stone/ceramic tile flooring covering the entire hall however the walls and roof were a mass of timeber and stuff and it turned out to be one of the warmest sounding gigs we've done imho

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1415466451' post='2600676'] I wouldn't say shot, but Ferry has always had a 'weak' delivery so I just think this is a smart way of keeping the gig going. And to be fair, he has ALWAYS featured great backing vocals from way back. I still think he can just about cut it and is still valid as an artist... who doesn't totally rely on plundering his classic back catologue ... He can still mix it up which is why he is still watchable, IMO. That is why I say he knows the value of great bands... and great BV's are always part of that in his bands. [/quote] and after all who is going to be scrutinising the man himself too closely when he some skimpy black leather clad ultravixen on drums ?

Greetings East Kenters, please feel free to come along and laugh and point at me grappling with my bass along with the rest of our merry band ta http://www.thedecksandgate.co.uk/#!page4/cfvg
