I also had one, actually I think I've had 2, but the first one may have been a 50 watter I used the 2nd one as a guitar amp, with a marshall power break. Great sounding guitar amp but I swapped it for a Gibson SG JR 17 years ago. (The junior is 1967, so not a bad swap)

https://reverb.com/uk/news/how-to-date-a-marshall-amp I reckon, from the reverb thing, it's a '67

ethanol should remove thos

My brother's Italian band supported Maiden when Bruce first joined. Steve was using Hiwatt amps and cabs in those days. My brother complimented Steve on his bass sound and Steve was very flattered.

so I gigged twice over the weekend, with the Lekato and it was mighty fine, except (this is operator error BTW), I do a bit of 'violining' with the volume knob on my guitar and I managed to knock the transmitter in just the wrong place and managed to switch it off. I am now aware of this ham fisted thing I do and was more careful for the rest of the set. I gigged it with my duo and my full band, where no one else is wireless. (except my vocal mic which is channel 38 anyway). I was never more than 2 metres from the receiver which was plugged into my vox tonelab thing on the floor in front of me.

I would try and get hold of second hand, QSC K12s. You do see pairs of them for about a grand. I've had mine 10 yers now and they're awesome
-
well I tried it last night and it sounded very similar to using a lead. Wandered around the house a bit, it cut out when I went 2 rooms away and came back in when I got a bit closer. All good really as I'm not going wandering when I gig. I'll try it saturday night for proper gig

summer of 69 always goes down well at the end. Play it with conviction. This is the same with all songs IMO. I've played most of that set list and they are all well received. You need to own it. Have fun and it rubs off on the audience
-
so I've plumped for a lekato at 47 quid on amazon. Cheaper than saturday afternoon when it was 59 quid I'm going to try it for my 80s duo. I get tangled up every time I pick up or put the guitar down (I dont play on every song) I'll be stood right next to the receiver at all times, so we'll see what happens. If it's no good, I'll send it back
-
me too. Bass, lead, amp. clip on tuner new band starts today though and there is talk of us all going IEM, so then it will be Tech21 di pedal instead of amp

Bingo finishes at twenty-five past nine...

that was great. I remember playing clubs like those in the late 80s -
it does work great. It keeps the left hand in the right position. Mine felt like I was a little trussed up when I got a bit fatter. Great tone too Nice score

Bands of Theseus aka Trigger's band
police squad replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I was in a pub band that had a 30 year tenure. For the first 10 years 4 out of 5 were original. By the time the last original member stepped down (he passed away shortly after from cancer) the lead guitarist had been there 20 years. We carried on for a bit and then the original singer rejoined (he was in his 70s at this point). It still had the same values that it had always had. To entertain, look good, sound good etc -
well I tried it with a bass and it sounded like my ac30. Not great for bass. Not enough EQ to make it sound fat. Just middly really
-
I'm 42 years in now. Started with a Kay bass, next Fender Musicmaster, Manson Explorer, Aria SBR150, Vox White shadow Fretless, Aria XRB then Fender Precision. Bought my main bass, a '73 in 1990. Still have it plus a few more precisions and a Mustang. Been through all sorts, Jaydee, Spector, Musicman, Rickys, Status, Steinberger, Hofner always back to Fender. Mustang mainly, due to neck/back issues, but I always bring a P bass as a spare
-
I will try this out for you to see what it sounds like. I'll do it when I get home today and try to make a video on my phone
-
No just a normal ac30 with blue speakers
-
I have the MV50AC and it's awesome but I've not plugged a bass into it. I might do it when I get home but I imagine it won't sound that great. I actually have an AC30 in my office and when I've plugged a bass into that, it has lacked bottom end but it has been ok to practice with

My JMJ has Fender flats on it and I like them I recently did a load of gigs with Fender flast on one of my P basses. Sounded enormous and I can now hear flats on many recordings, that I didn't know about. They didn't really work on the Jam numbers, Stranglers or The Clash but probably only I really noticed. The Fender ones work for me and I have no intention of trying anything else but if someone gave me a bass to try, with flats and I liked them, I would consider trying them I started with a set of Olympics, which were from ebay about 12 quid. I lasted one song, far to stiff and quickly switched back to my JMJ. The Fenders tension are very similar to the RS66, although they are a slightly lighter gauge

yep, I've been using the Zed-fx series for 14 years now. Works well and sounds great

The IEM (in ear monitors) Bible thread
police squad replied to EBS_freak's topic in Accessories and Misc
I've just finished a 6 week depping job where they all have IEM. Great job, very simply I took aux 6 via a mono lead to my P2. By the end of my stint I had a really good mix. We did a festival last Friday and the sound guy gave us all wireless packs and we all set up our own mix. (the sound guy asked us what we wanted, as opposed to using our phones) It was great. I had a meeting with the BL of The Americana Revue last night. This is the new project I'm involved with and we will be mostly using our own PA man, who will rent us all the PA etc and he is onboard with IEMs, which is wonderful news. We will be doing shows to about 800-1000 people (hopefully) so reasonanbly big theatres etc. I even showed him the Vox MV50 amp, which is incredible, light etc. So his load in as a guitarist is easy. -
thanks mate, yes they are great things. I have the VSA500 too, which is immense and a keeper -
It's something I was going to learn do to. To see if I could play differently but in the end I couldn't really be bothered with it

I would like t have less injuries. I did both shoulders playing cricket (diving after the ball) and my back went ping a few years ago and I have to be much more careful. I'm 55 soon and have no problem with my age, I only really play gigs that I want to play. I have recently been depping for @spongebob s band, Heroes. I have enjoyed every gig with them and I would play nearly all the venues again, they were nice places with great people. When I was younger I failed an audition to join Bernie Torme's group. I let that get to me and never bothered chasing the dream, I think I should have continued chasing it, but I don't really regret anything. Life moves on, you've just got to go with it and try and enjoy yourself

it's the acoustic thing I really ought mine for. Changing between acoustic and electric in the same song. Every Rose by Poison and More than a Feeling by Boston
