Hi, we use 2 of these ( sometimes 1 in a small space). https://www.jpleisure.co.uk/item34.htm We fit these onto poles fitted into upside down top hats in our speakers, so no extra stands required. Works really well ( via a small controller) . Due to room constraints we often need to sit one top speaker (hiSys 2) onto a sub, including a suitable piece of ply between, to form a support shelf for controller and my cider.

Hi, we are in Exeter and Lemonrock is really useful for advertising gigs and finding bands and venues to see.
Also a good resource for suitable venues to chase.
Plus, handy for uploading a few sample tracks for people to check out.

We use Gaslighting Abbie as a P A and monitor check to gauge the room and then plunk a few notes as a line check. That’s normally it.
Nothing much changes on our desk, our backing singer/ driver/ lighting switcher goes for a wander about in the first number to have a listen.
If working with a proper P A system, once in a while, we tend to play something nice and simple with not too much going on.

My bruv always called my bass a rumbly thing, so that covers all of them for now.

There goes my heart…the mavericks
took a while but an old mate “tonksy” did a dep with us and having completed a tour with Raul Malo showed us what for. Made sense all of a sudden.
and of course, achy breaky heart. Say no more.

Hi, I suffer with this, along with my brother and several friends. I guess we are all Vikings.
I have had some treatment given by a myofascial release practitioner and I do think it has helped, at least to slow progress.
Her aim is to avoid surgery but possibly not effect a cure.
I hope things work out for you.

No apologies needed.
I love looking at gear…
I love that period at a gig when you stand or sit looking at a stage In anticipation of the possible magic to come

Just came across this. It is a recording of our first get together after the 2nd lockdown, after starting to get withdrawal symptoms from no gigs so decided to have a play.
Bit of a squeeze between all the building materials but the old barn turned out to be a great fun space to record.
Had to mix on headphones as the monitors were in my office and, my home office is too tiny.

As I usually play with a cymbal stand wedged up me chute while being repeatedly stabbed in the right armpit by a Les Paul headstock you know what you can do with all that smilin' and gaddin' about, quite frankly.
Perfect ...

Hi,
Not sure if this adds much to the thread but here is the story .
I bought this Pearl precision bass many years ago, advertised in the local paper "express and echo" where I bought most of my things back then; cars from budleigh salterton ( because it's a retirement town and they never went anywhere), furniture from topsham (posh), hifi from all over the place...
Anyway, this bass was advertised by Norman, a local guitar hero and I loved it.
Then I couldn't get on with it. Took the frets out...na. Added a rear pickup (from my steinburger q5) and cut a hole in the back for a battery, ....Na, decided to re finish the body, sandpaper or a blow torch wouldn't touch it, so my mate Malcolm took the finish off with a belt sander. I Finished it with tung oil. Wow, a revelation, like playing with its straight jacket off.
Then a mate (joe) offered me a jazz neck he had bought but didn't like the feel, so I fitted this, plus the old machines, lovely. Then I thought BEAD tuning.No bottom end. Oh well
Next, after building a lap steel with lollar pickups, decided to fit a pair of his jazz pickups. Needed a custom scratch cover to hide all my previous holes and channels...filled in the old screw holes with match sticks, snapped off. Back to standard tuning.
Then tried a set of flats. Bingo I've arrived.
It's a total mess but it's the bass I picked up most over lockdown.
Not worth much but wouldn't sell it, and bits of it are old.
I've messed up a few basses over the years, and sold too many, too cheap.
Oh well.- 2

Hi, Had this pre amp for probably 25/30 years or so, always lived in a flight case and gigged regularly at weekends.
Now for sale as i have decided to downsize.
Please excuse the rather pose ridden photo, seemed like a good idea at the time. I will post other pictures if required.
Condition is good, a few minor marks on the case and slight "smoothing" of the paint around the knobs. Actually looks worse in the picture than it is. Seems that a mobile phone camera feels the need to enhance everything. Collection from Devon or i can arrange shipping at cost.
Thanks, rick

Really useful BMC Pedal for sale, Unmarked condition, few months old. Just bought a new preamp with its own parametric EQ. so this is redundant.
From their blurb "A small but powerful pedal that provides frequency control adjustments between 120Hz ~ 3kHz. When using 2-band EQ or passive bass, the Frequency control provides excellent manipulation of the mid frequencies, while the Boost/Cut gives you boosting or cutting capabilities of up to + / - 12dB. "
Photo pinched from the net, i can send actual photos if required.
£95.00 incl UK postage. -
