    no worries

    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
  7. ratman
    +1 to that!!

    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?
  16. ratman
    Everyone's saying the same thing. Get to your doctor.

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1391122235' post='2353655'] No such thing as a final board! [/quote] Too right. Everytime I (foolishly) think 'that's it done' I guarantee soon enough I'll find a new pedal to add or I change it around, again. This week the Bass Big Muff is back in for a couple of gigs.

    I just bought a Nano and they are really tiny. Check out the Pedaltrain site - they give the sizes there.

    You can get lots of different opinions of what is right & wrong. The only one that counts is yours. You could experiment with changing the order of pedals, you might be surprised how they interact in new ways. If you don't like it just change it back. As long as you like the sounds you get, then enjoy making your music. That's what it's all about

    14 basses!!!!! You're going to love this place
  21. ratman
    I'd worry about not being able to tweak for different venues, but you'll need to get it out there to find out either way. If that is an issue, you could get it rehoused in a new case with knobs on top. I hope it works for you though. Keep us posted eh.

    Do we talk gear here? Ha ha! When I joined I had a bass pod. Now I've got 2 fx boards, a new amp & cabs and more stuff lying around that I care to admit to. Welcome

    Hi Rob. Think of the past 8 years as a mere blip. Now you're back to the dark side, you're gonna need a bass, an amp, cabs, effects board, and an estate car to put it all in. How can we help?
  24. ratman
    Two weeks? It'll be quicker than that lol. Welcome aboard.
