[quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1472753978' post='3123963'] I've been using this head for the last few month and have to say it sounds great. It's the later Peavey head with all the bells and whistles. I use it with everything engaged. Drive, compression pre shape etc and it spits out a wonderful clanky crunch. As this head is getting on a bit I was wondering what else is available that could offer up a similar racket. I'm thinking maybe an Ampeg svt pro 3 but have yet to actually try one. I did have a Ashdown evo 111 but it didn't quite have the attack. I also own an Ashdown Ctm 100 but that's way to nice for my current requirements so will be for the chop if I can find a TE replacement. Any recommendations? Cheers [/quote] If it ain't broke don't fix it!! Many a person on here has regretted selling an older(not that old)amp thinking something else will give them the same mojo!!

[quote name='Maude' timestamp='1472838004' post='3124707'] "I think that must be one of the most lethal loads I've ever seen in a car! The lack of view to the nearside could be equally lethal...." I think the OP had weighed up whether life was worth living or not when he bought a KA To be fair I used to load up a proper Mini like this years ago. The front seats tipped forwards pivoting on two bolts which I replaced with two pins with R clips so the passenger seat was 'quick release'. With the seat out I could fit half the PA on the back seat , my big, heavy Peavey amp where the front seat was and loads of other bags in around it all with a couple of basses in hard cases on top of it all. I had to break hard in a back lane once and one of my basses slid forwards with enough force to push the front screen out (perished screen rubber), the bass slid down the bonnet and I had to embarrassingly get out in front of the car I had stopped for and pick up my windscreen and bass. The screen was broken but the hard case did it's job. Moral of the story? Always transport your bass in a hard case [/quote] I'm sure someone will be along to point out the error in your ways pretty soon!!!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1472759514' post='3124049'] I'm now thinking about Uri Geller playing bass ... [/quote] Does he have a bendwell???

[quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1472768168' post='3124186'] I understand there's a traffic policeman on this website, I wonder what he'd say about that! [/quote] There appear to be plenty of traffic police on here judged by some of the driving threads!!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1472675481' post='3123244'] Nice Job Barne!. Those vocals are not easy. Blue [/quote] Cheers Blue!

My lot, Asylum Affair, at the Ash Music Fest a few weeks ago! A bit of Boston!! http://youtu.be/fimhFFODHzs

Guitarists are strange animals! Ours does a large pub gig at reasonable volume with his cab miked and then does a tiny pub with a hole in the the corner for the band with it cranked up and no PA support!! Thank f*** for decent earplugs, although I'd rather not wear them! The singer doesn't like putting the bass through the PA, she reckons it's blown the powered desk before so I've ended up getting a 500 watt head and 4ohm 800 watt cab to keep up with the buggers!! Actually, I'm only on volume two at the most so it's more than capable!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1471809808' post='3116090'] For starters drop the were "just" a pub band. Your a pub band and there's nothing demeaning or lower rung about it. Blue [/quote] Well said!!

BUMPAGE, Got Saturday 27th August September 2/3 9th 16th All free at the moment if you need a sub, mostly rock but also some funk/soul/blues, pretty versatile.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1471685005' post='3114975'] Another couple of pics of the WB-100 have just been posted to FB... [/quote] That whole rig is one sweet looking piece of kit!!!

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1471341220' post='3112222'] At a gig last month "if you can play that formula 1 bit, you're a proper bass player and I'll buy you a pint..." Worked. [/quote] We've done this song from day one, we get comments varying from "can you play it again in memory of my uncle who died at Brands, it was played at his funeral" to "I love the way you put the F1 music at the end of that song!!" Along with Another One Bite the Dust probably one of the most recognisable bass lines ever!!

Don't know how this got into my Facebook photos, I think someone got it from a bootsale for a crappy birthday present many moons ago! I just loved the way there was no room for orchestra!!!

My old S1 banger!! Lots of cracks and knocks but still plays well! [URL=http://s218.photobucket.com/user/widget42/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_9.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc296/widget42/Mobile%20Uploads/image_9.jpeg[/IMG][/URL]

In my defence I'm using the mobile version on my iPhone and that doesn't show like it does on the full version!

The Chain!!!

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1471333318' post='3112122'] Oh, I didn't know yours was headed! Interesting...mine's headless but suspect the string spacing might be similar. Is yours thru neck too? [/quote] Yeah through neck. It's my home practice bass now, quite a bit of mojo and crackly pots, still sounds good though!

Does the up to £50 free include the sell anything forum? Been trying to post a £15 item and it keeps going to the payment page?

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1471328566' post='3112088'] Please bring the red Series 1? It sounds nearly identical to mine which I won't be bringing on account of baggage allowances. [/quote] This old thing? I'll be bringing it!!!

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1471105745' post='3110591'] Right, I am definitely going to be able to travel down to this, having arranged to combine with a visit to an old friend in Lightwater on the Friday. I'll put my name on the list later, as I am just posting from my phone atm. Won't be bringing any gear, just the ol' Fender P in case there's a bit of a jam going on. Looking forward to catching up with some of you that I haven't seen for a couple of years! :-) [/quote] YAY!!

Wonderful!!! 👍👍

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1471028728' post='3110145'] Those 3 lessons were money well spent by Mr Clayton senior [/quote] 😀😀

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1471081726' post='3110381'] Despite several misgivings during all the rehearsals leading up to it, last night's gig turned out to be a corker. I think I felt like a proper bass player for the first time in the five years since I first started out. We're a Stones covers band, playing anything from 'Satisfaction' to 'Doom and Gloom'. Very small venue, packed out with friends, family and regular supporters, so the atmosphere was great. I felt relaxed enough to rock out a bit so it was all really enjoyable To add interest to the evening, the audience included my Ex, my Boss and the estimable Kev B from BC who has threatened to post a pic or two, so watch this space! :-) [/quote] Well done Shell!! It's a good feeling innit!!

A boy came home from his first bass lesson. His dad asked him how it went. "Today we learned the E string." The boy came home from his second lesson and dad asked him how it went. "Today we learned the A string." The boy came home from his third lesson. Dad asked, "So did you learn the D string today?" "Nope. Today I had a gig."
