I have the Steinberger Spirit 6 string to match the bass. I never use it so I'll add that to the pile if you want it RhysP? PM me with the address and a name and I'll put it in the post

I use a Zoom TAC-2R. Works brilliantly for me via the Thunderbolt port. Got it on offer from Gear4music. Cheap as chips but really nicely put together and simple to set up.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1465164506' post='3065846'] Skinnyman and his prize [/quote] It's rather unfortunate the way those stone washed jeans make me look like I've wee'd myself. Or maybe it was excitement. Or age.

Well that was a great day (made even better by walking away with a new bass having won the raffle!). Thanks to everyone involved in the organisation and to everyone who turned up with an incredible array of interesting gear. Although the highlight for me was the Tangerine Drizzle cake. Mmmm. This was my first bash and won't be my last - and it was all in the name of a good cause. On which note, I have no intention of selling the signed bass. But let me state for the record that if I ever do part with it, I promise that at least half of the proceeds will go back to the Youth Centre to support the work they do. There. Said it now, you can hold me to that! So thanks again - it was good to put faces to names. See you all next year

[quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1460116193' post='3022715'] Nothing to worry about, if you have problems just post here for assistance or start a new topic. Worse that can happen is you get bumped several times a week. [/quote] Surely not?

Good to see this finally dropping down the pages and being quietly laid to rest.....

UK on the promo tour for their first album, 197-something Lancaster university. Bill Bruford is the loudest drummer I've ever heard. When he hits a snare, it stays hit! My ears rang for three days

[quote name='Froggy' timestamp='1457295691' post='2997162'] Are we sure it's done and dusted? Otherwise someone will only resurrect it again. [/quote] Nope, pretty sure that's it....

[quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1457257725' post='2996694'] Nope all done and dusted now. Nothing to see here or discuss. [/quote] Phew. I'd hate to drag this on unnecessarily

Just checking....... Are we still doing this?

I think I'm tending more towards Roger2611's view. Or maybe I'm just looking for validation so I can keep them all. Oh, and a typo - it's a VM4, not 5. Finger trouble (and subconscious GAS, I think. Ironic, given the subject of this thread....). But I've never had so many (positive) comments about my playing as I've had since I got the Sandberg. Which is weird as I'm not playing any differently - I think I can just be heard better. I guess there are a couple I can cull. I should probably lose one of the SGC 310s at least.... But then, I put a lot of time into refurbishing both of them and it's really handy having an inexpensive but good bass kicking around.....

Over the years I've amassed a nice collection of basses, all of which have been gigged regularly. But a few months ago I bought a Sandberg VM5 that, for me, is just perfect. It's exactly the sound I've been looking for. It's now my only gigging bass. So now, I don't know what to do with the other basses. I've spent a lot of time (and money, but don't tell the wife) getting them and they're all fantastic in their own way - but I know that they just aren't going to get the use they deserve. So do I thin the herd and take a massive loss selling them? Or hold onto them for the occasional rehearsal? Anyone else been in a similar position?

Bought a Roland gR55 off Ian. Very promptly dispatched, good comms throughout and the GR55 was exactly as described. Very happy. - a pleasure to deal with. Thanks, Ian

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Mr Clayton is completely indifferent to our views. Personally, I think his playing suits the band he's in but I'd be very surprised if he cares what I think. I quite like some U2 stuff, not all of it though. I doubt they care. I don't think I'd choose to spend time with Bonio but I also doubt he loses sleep over that. And I've never met Mr Clayton so have no data on which to form an opinion of his personality. And, again, I doubt he gives a sh*t

Can bring any or some of; Genz Benz shuttle 600 or fender bassman 300t Berg cn112 or fender 410 neo Dingwall super p/j Rick 4003 Sandberg VM4 Will decide on the day unless anyone has a particular interest in one or the other?
