    Gigged with mine last night. Guess what? Within two songs had a guy come up to the front of the stage to get a better look at the bass, and then after a couple more came up to tell me how amazing it sounded. Keeps happening.

    Very simple in this instance. One loop clean, the other with the star shaped distortion pedal. Just to give me a completely clean blend with the dirt

    Yeah. That's definitely a good plan. I used to be in The More Specials and we played a load of scooter rallies

    Don't usually get to post here as I generally try to avoid rehearsals. However one of my bands is changing direction which necessitates learning a new set, so we got together to make a start. We're switching to an all northern soul set in a bid to get off the pub circuit, aka the Eternal Valerie Chore. Last night we added four tunes, one each from Dobie Gray, Brenton Wood, Shirley Ellis, and The Four Seasons. Nothing challenging bass wise, but all fun to play. Need to get my backing vocal game up to speed now 😬

    If my dusty memory serves, Carlsboro were the poor man's Trace Elliot. I was certainly a poor man who wanted a Trace but had a Cobra 90. I seen to recall it had an on/off compressor built in which so comprehensively killed the sound it put me off compression for life. At least I thought it had. Until Basschat came along and now I own enough compressors to build a scale model of the Great Wall Of China. Anyway, back in the innocent days of my youth the Carlsboro was great. We simply weren't fussy, didn't have the option to be. Years later I upgraded from 90 Carlsboro watts to a Trace 130 watt combo. It was fifteen times louder, and 100% better sounding.

    At my age you'd think I'd be playing in more salubrious locations. You'd be wrong.

    For anyone unfortunate enough to play there. Car on the pavement, double yellow lines, unload drive around looking for parking and hope the gear is still there when you get back to the pub

    A beast of a pedal!

    Anyone played there? Do you have any tips on parking, unloading etc? Thanks Stew

    Yep. Super pedal, great shirts too.

    Superb basses. Whenever I gig mine it attracts so many positive comments .

    As @itu says. It's a mic stand holder

    Dammit. I'd have taken your hand off if I'd seen this in time

    If there was a way to prove this was 1963 it would be my birth year. Might give me the incentive to dip into my savings...

    Surely the best bargain buy Basschat has on offer right now?

    I have a Sandberg Electra. If you're havering over this, just buy it, seriously. I also have a higher end Sandberg and these easily hold their own alongside their more expensive stable mates. The look feel and sound is extraordinarily good.

    Played a small festival in Wiltshire yesterday evening. Not much money but lovely to play out of doors in the sun. We bass players don't get much attention as a rule, but yesterday I had a couple of folk with kind words. The second guy was a keyboard player in awe of the sound of my bass. A Harley Benton jazz. He was quite right, it does sound awesome.
