That Infinity just has all the sounds covered. Super clear top end, fat bottom and Thumb bass like mids. Best bass I've ever played, and I always get positive comments about the bass sound since I bought it last year.

Thanks

We organised a cracking gig at The Cluny in Newcastle over Christmas.

I was using my 2003 Warwick Infinity NT5 and 1991 Thumb Bass NT5, Thunderfunk and Trace 4x10.









It was a great gig, coupled with the fact that I had the best bass sound I've had in 23 years of playing

Come out and have some Christmas fun

It's a nightmare getting people in at this time of year. We have a good crowd now but it's been hard work.

Please come down and suport us, it will be a great gig.

Looking for a review. I think it was in a mid-November issue.

Can you message me if you might have it.

Cheers

Neil

TTT.

Come down. Have fun. Listen to great music.

I've seen them a couple of times now and they are a cracking band, and have a great frontman. Jose on the bass isn't bad either.

Tickets £4adv or £5 on the door.

Went to see the Richt Hoat Chili's on Saturday in Edinburgh and they put on a great show.

I ended up playing a song with them too...




Not sure how the singer didn't knock himself out.

This is going to be a top night. And tickets are selling quickly

If this hasn't already been posted, this looks like it should be good.

[quote]To coincide with the 30th anniversary of Fishbone, Norwood "Captain Nutt" Fisher is chartering a trip for bass players and musicians from around the world to study under his direction at the NABA Institute (Norwood's Association for Bass Advancement). The experience will take place online for a select group of players that will be learning from Captain Norwood through a variety of mediums at their convenience throughout the week.

Norwood will be providing lectures each week, along with excercises, and community tools to insure that all players who come to NABA and study with Norwood will take their playing to another dimension.[/quote]

Norwood's a great player so I'm sure they'll be lots to learn

Should be able to make this one

These AH300 heads are absolutely amazing.

I just plugged mine in for the first time in 6 months after using my Thunderfunk and I was literally blown away by the sound and power.

300Watts doesn't adequately describe the power and punch of this head.

Good luck with the sale - you won't get a better rig for £400.

We're organising a big Christmas party/gig in Newcastle.

The Cluny 2, Newcastle, Sunday 20th December

On the bill we have my band 300ft Gorilla, Scottish Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute band - The Richt Hoat Chilis - a local metal band called Skneepa.

Don't know if anyone made it along.

Great Music festival, not one of our best gigs but was fun to do. Great weekend - gigs, beer, loads of good bands to listen to.

We'll be doing it again next year hopefully

Anyone fancy coming along to the Head of Steam Wednesday?

Interested - PM sent

Sneaky Pete's on Sunday cancelled

Looking forward to Montrose

Probably easier for you to spot me. I'll be the one playing bass!!

We're on 7pm. Looking forward to it.

Hello,

We've got a couple of gigs in a week or so.

30th May - Busby's Montrose. Part of the Montrose Music Festival. Free entry with lots of other bands on

[url="http://www.montrosemusicfestival.co.uk/"]http://www.montrosemusicfestival.co.uk/[/url]

31st May - Sneaky Pete's Edinburgh (this isn't actually 300ft Gorilla but we're all playing in The Rain King band as session players - should be fun)

3rd June - Head of Steam Newcastle. £4 with 3 other bands.

It would be great if any of you want to come along. We particularly appreciate it if we could fill the Head of Steam. I'm sure many of you know our guitarist Paul Hindmarsh from his Sound Control days
