    Loads of times - usually when playing in London with local bands......... "Hey man, can our bassist use your bass and amp and stuff maaaan, he's got to get 3 tubes and a night bus so can't bring any gear...good vibes, good vibes......" "sorry maaan, we have a 5 hr trip back so we're leaving immediately........"

    I recall playing a gig about 20 years ago with a band called MetABBAlism - they covered ABBA songs in a heavy metal style........

    I think it depends on the specifics. There's a few scenarios to this as have already been discussed. If it's an already well established artist and you're being employed to be 'the bass player' and play what you're told to - with some artistic licence, but ultimately defer to the 'name' as singer, songwriter, arranger etc then I'd be ok to do that so long as I was being paid appropriately. I think really, that's my ideal role being honest.........in the background, just play, go home, get paid. If it's a new 'band', then it depends on your required input - if it's originals, are you contributing to the songwriting process, are you having a share of any of the writing credits - lots to consider. If it's a covers band playing the dog and dildo then again,I'd have to give it some thought - are you all getting an equal say / share in the responsibility, running the band, getting paid etc etc? Musicians eh...........🙃

    When I was younger I spent a lot of time listening and playing along to 'Blood sugar sex magic'

    Near, but from Chester area as a band. Think there's a link to Flint also, but not Wrexham specifically.

    Wrexham: Neck Deep K Klass Andy Scott - guitarist from The Sweet Gallops @Wayne Firefly plays bass for Vice Squad and Owain Williams was the guitarist in Xerath I may have missed some more..........

    sounds great Mike, Thanks.

    Thanks Mike. I agree with the simplicity, but great range of sound and breadth of sound also. If I 'had a gig' going forward then I'd certainly be holding onto this and the BF Super 12 I'm selling in another thread.

    SOLD!!! so, as per my sale thread for my excellent HB R400 head; it is with an equally heavy heart that I put up for sale my MINT Barefaced Super Twelve (with silver cloth face). Again, having only owned this for just over a month, but with a severe lack of gigs on the horizon, it is a waste being sat in my office. The Super 12 really is a beast that weighs naff all! It also comes with a lovely Roqsolid padded cover. It pairs up wonderfully well with the R400 and anything I say just doesn't do it all justice!! Again, I'd totally prefer collection or a meet up within an hour of Wrexham - postage would likely be prohibitive cost wise, but PM and I can at least get a quote. Firm again on the price, but if you want the cab and the R400, then pm and we can discuss. https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/super-twelve.htm DIMENSIONS 30" H x 19.5" W x 13.5" D 76cm x 48cm x 34cm WEIGHT 40lbs/18kg (Super Twelve) 42lbs/19kg (Super Twelve T) BROADBAND SENSITIVITY 102dB - louder than many 4x10" cabs USABLE FREQUENCY RANGE 37Hz - 4kHz 37Hz - 22kHz (T) RECOMMENDED AMP POWER 150-1200W RMS MAX CONTINOUS BROADBAND SPL 130dB - Louder than most 4x10"s and many 4x12"s NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 4 ohms GRILL OPTIONS Black steel or silver cloth

    SOLD!! Hello all, so with a severe lack of gigs going forward, it is with a heavy heart that I put this absolute corker of an amp up for sale. I only bought it just over a month ago (from here) and have done 1 x 2 hr rehearsal and 1 gig, however, with no gigs or live 'action' remotely on the horizon, I have realised that this is a silly luxury to have sat at home. It's been paired with a wonderful Barefaced Super Twelve which is also for sale - see my other thread. I would consider selling them as a pair - pm for details. It is for sale for the amount I paid for it and I'm firm on that. I would totally prefer collection, or meet up within an hour of Wrexham / Chester - if you want postage then PM and we can discuss options. There's a tonne of info on the forum about these amps and they really are brilliant. If I had gigs and a regular band then there's no way I'd be selling. In summary - The preamp utilises three 12AX7 (ECC83) tubes A/B power supply based on an efficient toroidal transformer and large capacity electrolytic capacitors, delivering a powerful 400W into a 4ohm load. WxHxD: 375mm x 108mm x 315mm * Weight: 10.5kg input jack * MUTE switch * BRIGHT / DARK switch: Engaged: +3dB @ 100Hz, -3dB @ 750Hz, +2dB @ 10 kHz * DRIVE switch: (The DRIVE switch raises the level of the signal at the input stage by about 6dB – great for heavier genres, or for instruments with lower output). * INPUT GAIN: Using the INPUT GAIN, you can access a wide range of tones - from crystal clear to a fat, saturated harmonic crunch. 
 * BASS / TREBLE * CONTOUR: Introduces 0 to -12dB @ 1kHz * OUTPUT VOLUME * 3-state LED indicator: PROTECT / READY / LIMIT. * LINE OUT DI: a professional-quality DI, with PRE / POST gain and GROUND LIFT switches http://www.handbox.pl/R-400-MINI-HEAD-p142.html

    £180 delivered to UK mainland for this weekend. I'll withdraw from sale sun eve if no interest though as it'll make a decent spare amp if nothing else. Cheers.

    has this 'query' been answered and have the collective 'we' come to a satisfactory conclusion now?
  23. bassintheface
    Ah, no worries. Yes thanks. Cheers.
  24. bassintheface

    So, after 15 months of not playing a gig or anything, I have woken up to a message from my old function band saying they need me to dep on sat night. Think it's a wedding and think its relatively local. Hope the suit still fits after lockdown! Rehearsal tonight - set looks like all stuff I 'used to know' in a previous life, so a run through of 35 odd songs tonight. Keys shoudl be fine and hope the old grey matter kicks in with forms and arrangements, so just need to play some bass today and tomorrow! I literally haven't touched a bass since early December and haven't' played a gig in well over a year. Should be fun and I'm well looking fwd to it...... Only trouble is that I don't have a bass rig anymore, having sold it off due to covid and redundancy! Now need to make some "can I borrow your rig" calls to some pals!!
