Rootmaster 500 evo II for me. My first Ashdown amp and I love it. Very light at 2.5 kg. As far as I've seen their customer service is second to none too.

check what equipment the venue has first. Which venue btw? (I was up there recently)

agreed, NEVER offer her any more work, even if it's last minute

He was once thrown out of his flat by his 'Landlord' and the 'Fall Out' from that is his girlfriend, 'Roxanne' left him which left his bed being to big without her, but undeterred and living on 'Peanuts' he told another girl, 'Sally' that he was 'Hungry for you'. Sally said he had a 'Deathwish' but she had him ;wrapped around her finger'. Sting said it would be ok 'on any other day' as he gazed into 'visions of the night'

we do anyway, it's called VAT. If they export it directly to you from, say, Germany. The German sale won't have German VAT (19% IIRC) but it will attract a duty and VAT charge in this country. But the price paid may be a little cheaper due to exchange rates. We'll have to see what happens

what a shame,

My Police tribute played a beach festival in Crete. Matala, where there are caves to explore. Joni Mitchell sang about them I think, or it might have been Janis Joplin. We played to thousands of people, it was just incredible Then, one night, we played in Worcester at The Marrs Bar. 7, yes, 7 people came to see us. They got the full show.

sounds as good as it gets really. When I was building my range of valve guitar amps, the major companies lent me stuff for the shows. JHS were lending out HK pa equipment (until the whole lot got stolen at a service station), Gibson lent me a Les Paul, someone else let me have a left handed guitar. PRS even lent me a Johnny Hiland guitar (Johnny was trying our stuff out with my Strat, so we ran to PRS and they gave us the JH guitar)

I won't tell how good the guitar is that's just arrived but Even I'm amazed how they do it for the money. The proof will be in the pudding as the guitar will get gigged with the Weller tribute that I'm in

imagine that lol

yes

Different JHS lol

I got my brother a V4 when they first came out and was really impressed with it

Colour boxes? I'll have a look

Used Hartke for many years. It was always very good. I still have one of the later HA3500 with the silver front. It sits in my practice room, unused these days as I've just put my old ampeg in there, since switching to Ashdown

actually my first is a 335 a like. The VSA500CR because I'm in a Paul Weller tribute (playing Steve's parts) I already have a Vintage Geoff Whitehorn signature guitar, which I've had over 10 years now. Extreme bang for buck and I'm done with buying expensive guitars, if I don't have to. I'll probably get a vintage bass or two aswell

It's means I have access to their products (at artist rates), which I will promote. It's a great thing.

Thanks Rob

The lovely lads at JHS.

I have recently been given an artist endorsement deal. I'm actually chuffed to bits about this, even though I'm 50 years old and have been gigging for over 30 years. It's made me all excited!!

wow, this REALLY is an old thread

I'm just in the process of rehearsing a Paul Weller tribute band, called 'Stanley Road'. It features my Police tribute guys and their bass player from their Jam Tribute called 'Total Jam' I'll be playing the part of Steve Craddock. Some of those solo songs are REALLY good

as Terry Pratchett wrote in one of his books, Money In.......Music Out. Can you bring your band and play for free? Er I would, of course but they need the money as it's all they do, so couldn't afford to play for free. I also often say that I'm not really interested in music, it's the performing thing that I really love

Washburn Stage guitar!!

First actual gig on bass was a school concert. We were the support band. I had been playing 6 months. We played some T.Rex, Buddy Holly, The Jam, The Knack It was November 8th 1981 (Rememberance day) I was 13 years old. The drummer from that band now plays keys for Toyah and we still see each about First Pub gig, The Louis Armstrong in Dover. 1986. I was 17. Same landlady to this day
