Collected a 6U rack case from Steve today. Nice friendly guy who makes good tea! Thanks Steve. Pete.

I just spat coffee over my keyboard laughing. So funny

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='110547' date='Dec 29 2007, 02:34 PM']my musical ear that is. I've been playing a fair few years now, and have never had problems listening to stuff from CDs (etc) and working it out, but lately I've been checking out bands and learning stuff for auditions and it is such a struggle. I spent a hour trying to figure out, what turned out to be a simple 4 note fill. Maybe it's because I haven't been in a band for a while, and haven't gigged since July? Whatever it is, it's annoying and frustrating [/quote] Discovered jazz Nice

[quote name='Machines' post='111559' date='Dec 31 2007, 05:04 PM']So can I use a 15w head with an 810 cab ?[/quote] Of course! It just won't sound as loud as with a 1kW amp. Assuming the cab isn't mismatched impedance-wise to the amp.

Completely hat stand!

Good links, thanks.

Ta mate.

Hi Steve, Can you share this info with the rest of us? IMO it would make a useful pinned post. Pete.

Many thanks for the useful post Jon. Pete.

[quote name='WalMan' post='109106' date='Dec 24 2007, 08:44 PM']Wham - Wake me up before you go go[/quote] Also "I'm Your Man" features a nice bass solo (I think by Deon Estus) on the extended 12" version. How about Faith No More - We Care A Lot? The bass line is the song! Saying that most FNM songs have great bass lines that (to me anyway) make the song.

Eddie and the Hotrods - The Beginning of the End - Paul Gray is a bass god in my opinion (said it before and will say it again).

What happened to the original thread? [attachment=4343:RackFront.JPG] [attachment=4344:P1010396.jpg] Pic from the Midlands bash.

Sounds like a blown speaker to me. Have you tried the amp into another cab?

Beautiful collection, love the rics. Pete.

[quote name='jammie17' post='104467' date='Dec 14 2007, 07:32 PM']Ahhh, you see I did not know that about them. So, an an amplifier that has say, three different outputs...say 2,4,8, ohms, has three Autoformers?[/quote] Only one, with two (possibly three) taps. Pete.

[quote name='skywalker' post='100413' date='Dec 6 2007, 06:07 PM']Hi Gazm Was that at Woodville?? I went up last night to watch and observe, not to play, but was handed an old battered Stingray and asked if I knew Hey Joe. The intro was fine, unfortunately the guitarist then started to sing in several different keys, none of which we were playing in. He also had some kind of pedal board thingy that sustained his chords for ever, so there were no changes that we could hear, so I watched the drummer and he watched me and we made the changes in the right places (at least we were together, intentionally or not). After my Jazz the Stingray felt like playing a shovel (I am sure this can't be representative of all stingrays). I will practice a couple of rock numbers (not normally my genre), and take my own gear next week. See you there if you're going up Steve[/quote] Hi Steve, I'm talking about the Greyhound at Woodville so I guess it's the same one. Shame I missed you. Last week, Rob the landlord said the jam nights were done for this year and as I'm in Wakefield at the moment on a course anyway, I didn't go. The battered stringray is a (horrible) copy and definitely [b]not[/b] one to judge genuine rays by I always take my own bass for that reason usually a MM Stingray strangely enough. The guitarist sounds like Ryan, he's in his own little world most of the time. In the summer most weeks there were about four or five guitarers, two or three drummists and two or three bassists, singists always seem as a bit thin on the ground though. Over the last month or two there's been less and less people turning up. Last week I was the only bass player, there were two drummers and Ryan on guitar. Sometimes after 11 there's an accoustic session which is good fun and usually a good laugh - but only when people turn up Trouble is, sometimes it goes on really late!!! I wasn't going to turn up again this year but might if I can. Pete.

Thanks Tony, Might take a trip to the Snooty Fox if I get a chance. Pete.

I'm in Wakefield on a course this week. Any good live music venues or open mic nights not too far from the Holiday Inn? Welcome Tony and sorry to steal your thread! I have a TRB6II, lovely bass but it ways a ton. Pete.

I think he missed a 't' out of his user name Pete.

This thread is brill, keep up the good work! Pete.
