My son is 29 nearly 30, and got married on Wednesday. Now I feel really old.
Mere baby.... My eldest was 40 this week!
Oh and ...
Lovely photo's of your daughter (and you) Mr Travis.... I missed this thread last year somehow.

I had a Laney 100watt Klipp guitar amp( they had no bass amps in Mum's catalogue!) A Carlsbro 2x15 cab and an Audition p bass copy in 1973.in '74 I swapped the piece of carp bass for an Arbiter Ric copy. To be honest I would be happy to have kept that set up for ever!

Good luck Daryl. I hope everything goes well.

The only new stuff I buy without question is anything by..
The Achievers
Church of the Cosmic Skull.
Anything else is buying stuff I used to own but sold when I was poorer than I am now. If Burke would agree to release the Budgie stuff he hasn't put out I would buy that definitely.

I don’t mind a little bit of Dire straits, they are on sky arts today at 18.00
I know it's not "cool" to admit that you like a bit of Dire Straits,but now that someone as cool as you...someone who posts Trojan stuff...has admitted that they like it, I feel safer....
I don't mind a little bit of Dire Straits, they are on Sky Arts today at 18.00!

Absolutely. I only commented to let people know the documentary was on, come on Ray, back to the gentlemanly civility of The Den, my round.
See my reply to Maude Franky baby ...
I'll have a drink, as long as I don't have to watch any of those interminable train videos!

I feel I should point out that my description was purely tongue in cheek. But also realise that my lack of smilies means nobody knows that.
I'll happily take the twerp tag though. 😉👍
I feel that I should point out that all my comments on here are light-hearted...
I apologise if I gave the impression that I was annoyed!....
The twerp thing is a joke we use in the DOI thread ...
it is most definitely NOT a slur on your good character sir.

I’m 60, hardly young, listening to a band made up of a 50 and 49 year old.
I hardly feel that anyone needs to defend their opinion of the Sleaford Mods (or any other act) on here.
Surely we are all musicians and accept that music is subjective?
I don't like them ..no biggie...they won't care, and their fans can cast sobriquets my way to their hearts content ( I'm quite proud that I have been labelled a "boring old fart" though 😉 ).It doesn't make me right (or wrong) it's just my opinion.
The esteemed Mr Blank ,and their fans have theirs...so be it.
This name calling and derision is what is wrong with the world of soshull medja (IMVHO)
Twerps!

Unlike some of the old farts on here I like the Sleaford Mods. Punk ethic, a little political, passionate, honest. A lot of their stuff is bass driven, even if sampled, melodic.
OI!
I resemble that remark!

I love Rock City, some of my favourite gigs have been there superb venue. Doubly happy Sleaford Mods were on, one of the most important bands since Crass for me.
I fully accept that I am out of line with current day thinking. They did mention that Bowie played there in the 90's and Skin from Skunk Anansie was interviewed so it's not all bad. 😉
I just can't stand the "rapping" to tracks format of The Sleaford Mods, it just winds me up.
It's easy though ...
I don't go to their gigs or listen to their songs and they don't notice.

It was on Yesterday...I recorded it.
I enjoyed it, but it did just skip from one venue to another with a few songs in between.
It did make the point that we need these venues.
On a personal note I was well miffed at the coverage of Nottingham's Rock City.
It's among the top venues in the Country and has a history of showcasing some amazing bands,that went on to become superstars.
It's the place that I am most proud of playing at but ...the program featured....
The Sleaford Mods!
Sorry fans.... I can't stand them.
Two full "songs" from them too .... spot the grumpy old Rock fan comment there.

Good luck with the recording 'shell.

Oh, I thought you were being devious; apparently not. 'FRFR' stands for 'Full Range, Flat Response', indicating a very 'HiFi' type of design and phonic result. The idea is to have no colouration in the sound. Used for PA rigs, and is useful when using modelling amps, as they can produce (By... Erm... Modelling...) the sounds of different rigs. The 'FRFR' will reproduce this modelled sound with fidelity.
Hope this helps.
I honestly had no idea.
Now that you have explained it I'm ..... wiser, but being technologically challenged, not able to converse knowledgably .
I plug my Precision (bass) straight into my AmpegB2R which in turn sends the signal to my 2x15" cabs and I'm happy.
Does that work?
Oh and by way of being on topic with the OP... I have shared my gear before and I have used other peoples.
I don't particularly like it but sometimes it's nice to be nice...HOWEVER... I have fallen foul of the "Headline" gig, every other band uses your gear...they all bugger off when it's your turn to play and there is nobody left to play to!
You then have to pack it all away without help.
Try to avoid that scenario if you can.

You, Sir, would love it.
I'm sure I would If I only knew what FRFR meant.
Unless of course it means ...

Since changing to an FRFR set up I no longer have this problem as most bassists take one look at my rig and just scratch their heads.
I'm scratching my head at FRFR!
The great tea pot in the sky knows how I'd react on seeing your rig Frankie boy.

Didn't think jokes were allowed on this thread...
Nothing's going to happen about this. There's been absolutely zero movement from any of the relevant law or legal services and he's gone off the grid. His tribute bands are booking gigs, his band members are aware of what he's been going and don't care. It'll end up with him getting off scott-free apart from the small punishment of being banned from a handful of Facebook groups.
Several people have had E-mails from the Police asking if they still want to support the action...that's movement isn't it?

I'm old enough to have bought Desmond Dekker and the Aces' original my ears are alight, not long after it was number 1 in the hit parade pop pickers.

Anyway, my tone. How would I describe it?
Round, hefty, punchy, reminiscent of pear drops, liquorice and monkey spunk.
Copy cat...
You must have been in the audience at my first ever gig, Clifton Village hall youth club.March 1st 1952.
We did it for the exposure.
