    Thanks for the PMs, all answered. But the cab is sold pending the usual.

    I work on a first come first served basis. Except, say, if I have a pub gig in for a Saturday night, that pub band accept that if I get a decent paying bigger gig for the same night with enough notice, I'll dep out theirs. I'm up front about it, it doesn't often happen, and it hasn't caused any problems so far. I also play in a bunch of bands, with very few clashes.

    Compressors

    ratman replied to RagaMuffin's topic in Effects

    I swear by my BBE Opto Stomp. A great soft knee optical comp. you can't tell it's on until you turn it off, then you notice the difference. Mine is one of the old yellow label ones. Apparently the new 'moustache' labelled ones just aren't quite the same.

    Zoom B3

    Just get one.........

    I had one for a while. There's no point in me saying it was brilliant, or crap, as that's just my opinion. Yours will differ. What I will say is this, it doesn't have much variation of available sounds. But that is a common problem with most 2 knob filters. Have a look at the MXR M82, that's more versatile, and cheaper. Or if you've got lots of spare cash, the WMD Super Fatman.

    Zoom B3

    There's lots of love for the B3 around here. For best results stay clear of the factory presets, set up your own. The wet/dry blend is your friend here too.

    I used a Standback for years and they're great. If I remember rightly, they say it'll easily support a 4x12 so it should do the job for you just fine. First impressions are that it doesn't look that strong, but don't be fooled, they really are. Mine still looks as good as the day I got it. And they fold up flat and will easily fit into a bag or the back of a rack case. I got mine to improve my stage monitoring with my old single 1x15 cab set up, and it did the job brilliantly. Instead of the backs of my legs getting all the bass, once the cab was tilted I could hear everything. But, if you have a separate head you won't be able to put it on the cab as it'll slide off. I had to stand my flightcased amp on it's side next to the cab. No big deal for me, it still did the job just fine. I don't use my Standback any more but I'll always keep it, just in case the need arises. A great accessory.

    I know all about that. It sucks. If it's any consolation, it sold in under 20 minutes.

    The Berg is sold. Ashdown still available.

    ----- S O L D ----[s]First up is my Bergantino AE210. I bought this cab from fellow BCer steviebk six weeks ago. Although it's a fabulous cab I have done a few gigs with it and it's got a bit too much mid range for my taste. I've had it working with my HD112, but I think I'm going to get a second 112 instead. The cab is in tip top condition and comes with a Berg cover. It's rated at 400W at 8 Ohms. This is a really loud cab. And at 18kg it's dead easy to move around. Here's the original ad: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/222087-items-are-both-now-sold2-bergantino-ae-210-with-covers/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] I'm asking £425, which is exactly what I paid for it.[/s] Second up is my Ashdown ABM 210T Compact II. I've had this for a couple of years and I just don't use it. It's rated 300W at 8Ohms. Swithchable tweeter too. It's in perfect nick and comes with a Roqsolid cover. £100 for this one. A bargain. I'm in London N4 and would prefer collection in person as shipping is going to be a pain, but I'm up for meeting anywhere not too far away if there can be a donation for my fuel.

    Deep Purple's Highway Star. I rehearsed it once, about 10 years ago, for a gig that got cancelled. It was awesome. Never got to gig it though. Tonight though, I get to play Sir Duke for the first time live. The band is top drawer too so we'll be all over that
  17. ratman
    +1 to that!!
  18. ratman
    It's one of those parts that just has to flow. And it's all about the right hand. I don't get to play that one too often these days, but it is still a killer bass line.

    Sweet! I used to have a Rumour. Those GB's are lovely basses. Enjoy 😀

    The stickers remind me of a Red Onions looper I used to have. They went out of business 4 or 5 years ago as far as I know. Not to be confused with Bright Onions pedals, who are a different company, and still trading.

    [quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1392621409' post='2370616'] My point about 'professionalism' was really that in my view, a break between sets should be 20 minutes max, maybe 30 at a stretch [/quote] I'm sorry, but the length of the break has got absulutely nothing to do with the bands professionalism. 15-30 minute breaks are ideal IMO, but in the real world, dealing with clients, events organisers, caterers, venues, bridezillas, weather etc it doesn't always work out like that. Whoever is organising/paying the bill has the final say on set times, rightly or wrongly, so to blame the band is a bit harsh. And. why are you upset that you missed their 2nd set? Surely you already knew what time the event was finishing, and that you would have to leave early?

    I like to hear the hats clearly, so it's that side for me. And it's well away from those nasty china cymbals too.

    [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1391723410' post='2360713'] Sound City (Dave Grohls documentary about the studio of the same name) was on the BBC over the weekend, and is currently on iPlayer [/quote] I just watched it, well worth it.

    Great. Get practising then

    Depends on the standard of the band members. But me, I'd do 1 max. I turn up ready and prepared. If I do a rehearsal it's mainly for topping and tailing anyhow. No need to go over songs again and again as we have all done our homework and learned the songs already, right?
