  1. Subs in pubs?
  2. Yes, watching it now. Hmm.
  3. In practice, I have the mic closer to the table - about 10mm. This picks up a stronger signal with less susceptibility to feedback.
  4. I’ve used a few in the past including two DPAs at various times but would agree with Bilbo re ATM 350. It’s not too expensive and performs well. Here’s an old pic of my home-built mounting.
  5. Strings, all leads duplicated and Tecamp Puma under the passenger seat. And torch.
  6. What are the dims and weight? I had a MAS 45, daftest thing I did was to get rid of it. A great cab.
  7. I play in west Reading every Tuesday but agree re town centre. Upcoming appointment at the hospital, practically in the middle of town. Not looking forward, especially as I don’t get paid:-)
  8. A hard case takes up a lot of space in the car, and it adds to the overall carry weight. Good for flying and the band van but that’s all.
  9. A great day, thanks Nick, Colin and Sarah. Pete’s talk was pure gold, a lot of sense there!
  10. None, the keyboardist does it with his left hand.
  11. So, do you get modal jazz?
  12. I haven’t rehearsed for well over fifteen years.
  13. Well done, Marc, for getting it back on track.
  14. I’ll come along with my Kolstein travel EUB, ex Clarky, ex Dave Swift. Plus a Genz Benz combo.
  15. Great story! We all had to start somewhere and you’ve started well. Irrespective of what walking lines you play your biggest contribution will be the constant tempo you maintain to support the drummer, just slightly pushing the pulse. There’s a whole world out there to be explored and enjoyed. Have you got access to iReal Pro? That’ll give you all the chord sequences you’ll need.
  16. Last night I played Freight Train. With Chas McDevitt!
  17. Shipping and insurance UK mainland included.
  18. The bass always wins.
  19. Bass face plus!
  20. Genzler Magellan 800 amp for sale. 800 watts into 4ohms, 400 watts into 8ohms. There is a switchable output of 2.7ohms that will allow three 8 ohm cabs to be connected to produce 800 watts. Clean channel, dirt channel and A,B contours controlled by footswitch included. The amp is pristine and comes with a Genzler carry bag. New, this package would cost north of £800. Offered at £550.
  21. Breda Jazz Festival. We used to go over each year, seven of us and all sleep in sleeping bags on the floor of an upstairs room of a pub, the Fruchtvagen. Four inches between each bag and a near-derelict loo upstairs. Until we found the basin cracked one year we used to bring our own sink plug. And, you know, it was a lot of fun. The last time I went I was with a pro band and we were put up in the best hotel in the city, one to a room with en suite facilities.
