  1. bathroom scales tell me 7 pounds and 4 ounces almost 3.3 Kg
  2. I had one of these for a while. Sounded great in my bedroom and I did a couple of school gigs with it It was fine
  3. Had a banging sunday afternoon gig in Sandwich, Kent People were dancing in the first set and throughout the 2nd set I've lost about a stone in the past 2 months and the affect on my voice is amazing I felt like I could sing for another hour New venue, new audience meant I could tell my Bucks Fizz story again 😀
  4. I do this to entertain people. I only play at home when I need to learn stuff Yesterday's gig was awesome. People dancing and having a great time Landlord offered more money to play another set, which I would have done, however there's been a death in the family and my wife was picking me up and she's had a diffficult week following the loss of her brother She is one of the reasons that I still play, she encourages me and says that would i do is great Like many of you, I've been doing this a long time, just shy of 40 years I've played every sh!t hole known to the area But now I play for nice landlords and places that I like The tribute bands I'm in only do good gigs I'm lucky that I don't need the money but many years ago, I did need it I'm nearly 57 but can't see me stopping just yet
  5. crikey, I've been here 13 years. I have no idea why I joined either but what a place I've had very pleasant dealings with some on here, I've even met one or two
  6. to be honest, I've never cut strings for a P bass I make sure they wind down the post, nice a neatly Keeps a good break angle over the nut
  7. lol yes agreed I meant my playing years
  8. absolutely I have an outdoor, on the seafront gig in Deal next week I'll be taking all of them for this one, it should sound epic I've had the K12 s and Ksubs over ten years now and they are still so good. I reckon they'll see me through to the end (at least I hope they do)
  9. so I've now done a duo gig with the K10s in quite a big venue they were ok, but the K12s are better on their own. More bottom end they will be fine in smaller venues so I'll continue with them on some gigs but with the bass bins, always the 10s now. They fit in the car easier too
  10. I think we have found a winner That's commitment right there
  11. Not a bass, but my 1967 Gibson SG junior I drove to newcastle upon tyne from Dover. It was a 700 mile round trip and I did it in a day (it was a long day)
  12. if there's problem with them, I'll send them back there are lots of good reviews too worth a punt, especially as the strings on both my Warwicks are too light
  13. cool, thanks for this. I've given it a go
  14. it's like a drug. I want to do more lol
  15. I took my WS50 to a gig recently (I normally use it for guitar on my duo gigs) and I didn't think it sounded good with my bass but I can't remember which gig it was. I think it was U2 and the Reverso sounded odd with it Maybe I'll try again, next gig on the bass
  16. I didn't know he played a Lakland P type Looks very cool
  17. that looks fab
  18. I initially had success with the MS1 but it dropped out at a band gig twice on one gig. Its a shame because it sounded great and was small and light went MIpro 58 and haven't looked back
  19. it's actually only the guitarist who is original but the current bass player, Frank Allen did join them early on The new singer has been there 35 years now I saw them a couple of years ago, they were fabulous
  20. last sunday I did a band gig with QSC K10s and Ksubs instead of the K12s and subs sound man (keyboard player) said it sounded the same, it's a result as they're 4Kg lighter each Will be trying them on a duo gig (80s stuff, lots of keys and backing tracks) this weekend (the K10s) on the deep setting I'm really hoping they cut it because they have wider dispersion and are lighter
  21. it's a lovely surprise when they go together so easily I've done 2 recently and am amazed at how good they are
  22. I absolutely love the remix, the whole vibe, magic
  23. thank you this is all great info It turns out we already have some images that we have used in the past, on a laptop So we need to check with the venues that are up next
  24. actually that's a really good point do the venues you play at, charge for using the kit
