    Bass bash-- Top gig!

    in Events

    Posted

    Thanks to Ped for a great bass day.

    Good to see so many different bass rigs and a vast selection of instruments.

    I found the folks attending to be very friendly and helpful with advice.

    For some like myself who doesn't play slap style I was amazed at some of the playing there today, I thought it had gone out of fashion, obviously not!!!!!

    And just to finish off a fantastic day I got a phone call this evening offering me a job in a Free tribute band, just up my street (Mr Big solo).

    How many bands

    in General Discussion

    I would like to see this from the other side of the coin.

    I was in a long term band doing very well until the guitarist decided to get involved in another band, the drummer was then playing in two other bands and the vocalist was also involved in another solo project.

    It ended up being a bloody nightmare and no longer any fun as we were cancelling more gigs due to double bookings because the other three could not keep their diaries up to date.

    The outcome of this is that the band has now folded.

    I am currently in the process of forming another band and have made it abundantly clear that all the musicians have 100% commitment to this new project, being involved in other bands will not be an option.

    Maybe I have just had a bad experience due to the incapabilities of other people and my thoughts are if you want to get involved in other projects you have to be really on the ball and super organised.

    MY NEW MARK BASS RIG

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I have just purchased a new Mark Bass rig to replace my trusty old Trace Elliot rig on the recommendation of one of the best bass players in my local area.

    It consists of a CMD102P Combo and a 151HF Cabinet.

    I am still playing around with the settings and have only used it once so far in a live gig situation playing classic rock covers, Free, Bad Co , Floyd etc.

    In the live situation I was well impressed with the bottom end grunt, but I still feel I may need to tweek the settings a bit more to give me an optimum sound.

    I would love to get some feedback, good or bad on your experiences with Mark Bass gear?

    Maybe some guidance on settings for playing Foreigner, Toto, Journey covers?

    The Lightweight Cabs Thread

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    This is my new set up I have just bought to replace my old Trace Elliot rig.

    The Trace gear was excellent but the weight just bust my balls.

    I was recommended the MarkBass gear with the lighter weight being a large factor, I'm still playing around with the sound.

    I will be playing AOR classic rock (Foreigner, Toto, Journey) with my Musicman Stingray.

    Can anyone out there suggest the best settings for this type of music?

    My set up consists of:-

    CMD 102P COMBO

    151 HF CABINET
