Covers band are bands that play other people's music at various levels of pub and club to weddings. Some even putting there own spin on the tracks,some of the finest musos I've ever met are in cover bands, some even making a living from it. This just my definition of it...

I struggle defining Jaffa Cakes though..

Well the good news is that Watford Valves do an SVT valve kit so if it ends up being just that you won't have any trouble sourcing the right valves for the job

Thanks for the info main man

I sold my SVT2 Pro and have regretted it. It's not as if I can even lug one around now having knackered my back, but it was a sublime sounding machine.

So if I live vicariously through you for just a moment - keep it if you can

I've biten the bullet and been given a number by a fellow bassist who I trust for a reference who has the same amp to get it repaired.I await next week when I take it in to await my fate ... It's only money ...

Friday a local one for us at the Freebird Newcaslte Under Lyme as the headline act. All the band played great but as per when last on most punters left, slightly deflating but our new drummer played a blinder so every cloud We also landed a few nice comments at the end which is cool.

Well it's still here so far, let's see what fate decides

Sounds like you're not gigging much or you'd already have a backup.

I'd get a D class backup, my backup is an Aguilar TH500 (from the classifieds), and get the SVT fixed.

I have a backup, just bummed out I cannot use the SVT that's all

Yes aftre my grumble, i will hang on to it..

Sell it to me for five pounds!


Oh alright, I can throw in a Hiwatt 'Hurricane' 10W combo to sweeten the deal as long as you pay for postage.


No?.....


Maybe just keep it and get it fixed then

Love the optimisum haha!

£700 cash,a mars bar( brand new) and a bounty (a taste of paradise)..

So my trusty SVT pro 2 has gone wrong tonight, the light flashes at the front intermittently. It could be a valve has gone or something less costly but I have no money to fix it. Do I sell it and cut my losses and go back to solid state and if I do sell it what do I ask for it. Or save it and then when some cash comes my way get it sorted , bloody hell ...grumble moan.

Excellent I shall investigate

I ate the mars bar, sorry..

Now with free Mars bar, possibly duo ...

Kahboom..

Bumpy

From my POV the Stingrsy HH is far more versatile. But like I said, I only clicked with the neck pickup on the Thumb, even though the bridge pickup and combined pickups have a great tone of their own

Don't rule out Sandberg basic models imo they are just as good as stingrays and have quite a growl

Basses don't sound amazing, the person playing has to play amazing.

This 100 percent, my advice for what it's worth make sure your rigg and bass are to a similar standard. Try as many basses amps and combinations as you can, make friends with your local music shops, they can be invaluable in helping you land on a bargain.

I'm pretty sure it's 2011.

Didn't mention,comes with the hardcase...price drop £750.

Thanks Robbie, the bass comes in at 11lbs on the olde bathroom scales..

[/quote]

No neck dive the balance is great, will weight it when I'm home later..
