No gig in the diary for the 18th and I'd be interested in coming along (subject to the infinite perversities of life, the universe and everything of course).
I'm a newbie when it comes to 'Bass Bashes'. Do I need to confirm or otherwise my attendance and who's the best person to contact for more info and answers to my dumb questions?

95% Plectrum (Dunlop Tortex 'Purple' or Ernie Ball 'Hard') + 5% Fingers.

Hi CK - How much for the bridge unit? (assuming it's for sale of course).
[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='26831' date='Jul 4 2007, 07:48 AM']Yes, its an integrated 5 string unit rather than separate units.

Little Feat - 'Spanish Moon': Kenny Gradney just grooves on this track.
Greg Lake Band - 'Love You Too Much' and '21st Century Schizoid Man': Trevor Barry doing exactly what's necessary.
Peggy Lee = 'Fever': Don't know who played it but it's the sexiest bass line ever recorded.
And three by the Ox: 'Won't Get Fooled Again', 'My Generation' and 'Call Me Lightning' -
1 John Entwistle (THE bass Guitarist)
2 Charles Mingus (Soulful, moody and charismatic)
3 Kenny Gradney (The groove behind Little Feat)
4 Trevor Barry (Makes ability look so easy)
5 John Myung (Technique with feeling) -
Hi All.
My current speaker set up is Mesa Engineering Powerhouse 2x10 and 1x15 cabinets. (Amp is a Warwick ProFet 5.1)
I've recently checked out the Schroeder website and it's set me thinking about maybe going 'light-weight' so I'd be interested to hear comments from any BCers who have used Schroeder cabs - I guess I'm thinking of the 21012 or the 210212.
Looks like the UK distributor is SHX music in Brighton, which is a bit of an excursion from Oxford - so it would be good to hear any comments, opinions, thoughts and experiences from existing Schroeder users before facing the A34 and other selected highlights of the South-East road network.
Cheers.

I'm quite happy with bass guitar + amp + speakers and a few leads.

Definite touch of Deja Vu here.
So Bassworld became Basstalk has become Basschat - and it's good to see some familiar names from the earlier sites. I've been visiting for several years now and I echo the sentiments of others in that this site is a mine of useful information, informed opinion, entertaining threads and thought provoking comments.
More power to the elbows of those who make this site happen and long may it continue.
ME: Home is near Oxford, I'm on the bus-pass side of 54 and I've been playing Bass on-and-off since I was 16.
BASS HERO: John Entwistle. As far as I'm concerned there ain't nobody comes close to The Ox.
GIG-RIG: 5 String Status Stealth II (Red Tint, Headless, Red side LEDs), Warwick amp and Mesa speakers - which all combine to make a rather nice noise.
I'll post some pics of the gig-rig in the near future.
Meantime, take it easy.
Chris.
