One night stand with a bit of rough sir? Ooo....Suits you sir!

[quote name='Hamster' post='305706' date='Oct 13 2008, 07:00 PM']It's been done with the 3 tenors - how about a band of bass players - The FOUGS - I'm sure several here would be well qualified (me included) - [/quote] Miller,Clarke,Wooton?? Not sure about the Fat bit though! Oh, and the talent (certainly mine) might be a bit lacking.

[quote name='Clarky' post='303875' date='Oct 10 2008, 02:22 PM']Sorry if this is something you have already tried, but the Forming Bands website got me into two bands. Worth a try [url="http://www.formingbands.co.uk/site/index.php"]http://www.formingbands.co.uk/site/index.php[/url][/quote] Cheers mate, didn't know that one so have signed on to it.

[quote name='OldGit' post='303777' date='Oct 10 2008, 12:37 PM']Hey![/quote] Bugger, first I'm told I can't be Fat and Ugly,now I can't be an Old Git! Next you'll be telling me I can't be a bloody Bass Player!! Still looking BTW!

NICE!

I had a Pre-ErnieBall Stingray that was my first proper bass that I sold in a moment of skintness many years ago, I suppose the regret is that at the time I had no idea of the prestige and value it would have now. But the main regret was my Musicman 5 string that my old guitarist got for me very cheap as he was in the trade. I was playing Arias at the time and we went down to a dealer in Torquay for him to do some sort of dodgy deal on something and the 5 was sitting there looking at me. I had a play and fell in love. A couple of days later I went round the guitarists flat and there it was waiting for me. He'd done the deal without telling me and got it for a song. A few years later and after the band split my money went down the pan again and the MM got traded for a Yammy BBN5 plus cash. If I could find the MM again I'd sell a kidney to get it back!

[quote name='barneyg42' post='268168' date='Aug 22 2008, 10:03 PM']Well I'm totally overwhelmed by some of the the classy kit on here but as I'm only just starting back on the road to greatness here's my cheapo rig, not the bass I hasten to add but the rig only cost me £100. We're looking at a Jaydee Supernatural Roadie fretless(cheers Rich), a Peavey Mark3 series head(cheers Labougie) and an unknown custom built 1x15 bought VERY cheap on Ebay!(cheers Stuart) Better find me self a band then!!![/quote] Err.........it's grown a bit!!

A few pics......... [attachment=14170:27092008179.jpg] ACGs, bit blurry sorry but nice basses [attachment=14171:27092008181.jpg] Ah, a nice piece of old wood in front of a nice piece of new wood! Now which bass was in the raffle again?? [attachment=14172:27092008182.jpg] Walman's G and L was sweeeet!

[quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='294562' date='Sep 29 2008, 02:38 PM']I asked a similar question and got the response that if you've got two outputs use 'em! Twofold reasons, one: if it's got it as an option, there must be some benefit two: if the lead from amp to cab-A dies mid gig, you loose all sound, whereas if you're running two leads from your amp to two cabs, if one dies you get a drop in volume but can carry on playing. BTW, was good to put a face to the name! wish I'd managed to have a go on the JD, mebby next time eh? [/quote] Sounds reasonable to me. Jaydee next time, your first on the list!

My gear is now as below having added the two cabs bought from Monz at the SE Bash (cheers). Both cabs are 8 ohm, amp runs down to 4. Ideal! Question is do I run a lead from both speaker outputs,one to each cab, or one lead into one cab and then from there into the other cab to get maximum performance. Colin

[quote name='Mickeyboro' post='293785' date='Sep 28 2008, 10:57 AM']I was in two bands, juggling dates, and have finally accepted the inevitable and bowed out of one. They're based in Bishops Waltham, Hants and gigs are usually round that way (Eastleigh, Winchester, etc). The MySpace is in my sig below (Somethin Else). Music is 60s/70s R&B, rock, soul. Star man is the sax player (ex-pro) who is breathtaking; it's a privilege to share a stage with him. Other players are 2xguitar, drums, vocals; nice guys if lacking Dave's star quality. Ages mid 20s to mid 50s. Healthy gig sheet through to New Year's Eve. PM me if interested and I will make the intro. Not my decision, of course, but would be nice to pass this nice little gig on to a fellow BCer. Mick[/quote] Bugger, about 40 miles too far! Good luck to the new man, looks a good crack!

Bumpski Lumpski for a still Ugly Old Fat Git Bass Player who has upgraded with a couple of Ashdown cabs and needs to give them the beans they deserve!

[attachment=14058:22082008156.jpg] I've just upgraded my cabs so here is a home made 1x15 bass cab free to collect from Woking Surrey or I can deliver very locally. I got it dirt cheap on the Bay and it works fine. It's a bit tatty, but is pretty light weight and has handles on the side. I have no idea of wattage or ohmage so it's a case of suck it and see. Please note this is just for the cab, yer not having me little Pervey!

A collection was made at the Bass Bash and I believe flowers and a card are being sent to his family on behalf of the forum. I didn't see the name of who it was who took the collection but thanks for doing that and as said before RIP Leftysteve........too bloody young to go!

Well it's been a cracking day, only just got home after the Bash and then going over to South London to see a friend playing in a swing band in a massive church. Was great to see the faces of the names, big shout to Silverfoxnik and Merton for all the organisation. Hey Monz, glad you made it home ok, yeah that M25 can be a bit nasty sometimes, my work takes me round it all the time and it ain't pretty. Cheers for doing a fantastic deal on those cabs, they will get a work out later today. I was told the money might be going towards a GB Spitfire fund, well good luck with that, you can't go wrong IMHO, Bernies basses are the nuts! Good to see Adrian again, he used to relieve me of many quids when I was in Devon and he worked the shop in Mansons. I took a few photos and when I get up later this morning I'll upload them, also I videoed most of the GB demo by Bernie and if the quality is ok I'll put it on youtube. sh*t, it's 1.30am and I'm still buzzing!! Nighty night........can't wait for the next one!

Just checking, is the bash open to non BCers too, got a friend who plays a bit wanting to come along.

Squeeeee!...........I'm so excited!! BANG!!! Oops....
