    https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1961195121498875&id=1808464263 Overall not a bad night at our monthly spot. First gig with new drummer Paul. certainly has done his homework, great player. A little loud but has an E kit he’s going to use, hopefully.

    First Gig of the year for our six piece, centre of Hull. we have a residency there- once a month ( residencies have changed over the years ! ) Our Dep drummer did great and was a great change having a drummer that actually speaks. My thoughts were that it was going to be a quiet night but seems most of the punters in the Town centre noticed we were on and a full house was experienced by the band. We all played great and after a good soundcheck sounded spot on. Some good comments on my Bass tone- first gig with my Origin Bassrig 15. Sounded epic with my fender Jazz Ultra 5 string. Should be a good gig this one, easy to load in and park, which after doing this for 40 plus years is a real positive!

    It really is excellent, and very simple to dial in.

    Our male singer couldn’t make the gig on Friday so Laurie our other vocalist sang like a bird for 90 minutes straight. Wish I could do that! cbf49fb4-bd9f-4bfb-be3e-57ae883ac503.mov

    No one as bitchy as a weekend warrior, who thinks they should be pro.

    I have the mxr. I think it’s more your touch on this pedal for ain’t nobody than the pedal itself. I think you have to get used to playing the pedal like a musical instrument itself. I just wanted this to get one synth sound though am using this as an octave and a chorus pedal too. I saved the three settings I need on preset one and two, three and four and five and six as I’m using the foot switch to change presets. Just in case I miss one. overall for live use it does the job.

    I’ve got the tv15 and a TV 10. Great amps, very reliable and look fab. I use a bassman 800 and fender 410 for gigs and just use these two for practice. probably real collectors pieces, or not - who knows.

    I have two CS P basses. One a 57 and one a 61 reliced both great instruments. I bought them brand new in the last two years. Didnt pay anything like £5k. Got the two for less than £6k one was £700 more than the American vintage. both great great basses. there are deals out there. I’ve had vintage fenders, Japanese Fenders, Mexican etc. I do think it is the law of diminishing returns and I’m sure some people would actually prefer a Squier if blindfolded but for me and the enjoyment of playing and the actual feel of them I consider them good value.

    I’ve got one of these. Absolutely fantastic basses!,
  13. thumperbob 2002
    The band leader has no idea........simple as . I think I would be out of there forthwith

    Was bedroom to pro to bedroom in 40 years.

    Again, same as a few on here, got very nervous at first few gigs. a few month later all nerves were gone. Mind yiu I did start when I was 14 and was playing four nights a week by 16. Im now 54 and only get a little apprehensive with major speaking engagements!!

    My 100w ampeg v4 is louder than my Mesa bassbuster 200w amp. Both louder than my 350w fender tv 15 ( which is still loud enough for most gigs ). Your cab will make more of a differenc3 than you would think; as will eq.

    Just go back to a four. Miles cheaper.

    Manchester Apollo 1977. Elvis costello and the attractions richard helll and the voidoids john cooper clarke what a great gig and for a boy from the back streets of hull very eye opening to be sure.

    None this year and for the last three. Last gig I had was backing snake Davis. Gone are the months of 28 gigs. If the average is 55 go for it guys- at least you have time for a life ( think I’ve got that now).

    Haha! Proper old school, well other than the techie platform. Quite curious about that for sure.
  21. thumperbob 2002
    Pretty good for a mid price cab. Quite old school. Seems to be quite sensitive and actually quite deep for a 410. Light enough but not super light. Pretty small for a 410 too. Matches my amp perfectly.
  22. thumperbob 2002
    Here you go chaps- I had a V4 in the late 70s and decided for an early Xmas present to get the reissue, and pair it with a PF410. Sounds great, real old school. Dont know if I prefer this or my Mesa Bass buster 15 combo, but no doubt the speakers will take some wearing in before I decide. Cant believe how light this one is though, compared to my old one.

    I had one of these. Superb warm tubes goodness. Very tempted.

    Really good thread but impossible to say a single name. It has to be someone popular as Im not on it. Strangely enough Prince does come to the thought process quite early, McCartney, Lennon ( in that order ), Miles Davis, Monk. Its all in the ears of the listener- initially I thought Monk couldnt play, but that was a long time ago. Now listening to him, he was so good I could forgive myself for thinking what I did. Seems if you are that good you go full circle.
