    Band of Gold!
  2. Clarky
    Wow, the O2. Impressive! What's his band called?

    Hi Ralph I really appreciate the offer. To be frank I have taken a listen to Bouquet and they are pretty far away from us genre wise, so that I can envisage the crowd being at the bar nattering while we are prancing around on stage singing about being valiant in Spanish! Many thanks for thinking of us but I think we need a more folksy evening to capture the crowd's attention

    Hi Keith, I'd be happy to put it on hold for you if you wanted?

    I recently started a thread about getting hold of an fdeck HPF-Pre (which are not available for sale in the UK). It was pointed out that a custom builder in the UK could make a copy as the fdeck owner, Francis Deck, is happy to make his electrical design public. BC'er Andyonbass mentioned that he had just had a clone built by Dan from custom pedal builder 4114 http://4114customeffects.co.uk/ so I contacted Dan and around two weeks later this arrived: [attachment=157862:DSCF0691.JPG] Its very solidly (metal) encased and - although I haven't used it on a gig yet (was ill with flu over the weekend) - from home experimentation it seems to be just the ticket. Cost me £73 including postage which I consider very good value for such a useful pedal and given how solid and well-made it appears to be. Even has my name on it! You can of course still get hold of an fdeck from friendly US-based TalkBass brethren but this arrived much more quickly, had no issues over import duty and exchange rates and is exceptionally sturdy.

    £475 would make it yours

    Thanks for all your suggestions gents!

    Funny isn't it. I used the wrong name yet everyone knew what I was referring to

    Catchy

    Thanks all for your advice and comments. I think the answer has to be 13A on the highly scientific grounds that this is what I have ordered!
  11. Clarky
    I definitely fall into the camp of uninformed user! Many thanks. 13A it is then. Back to Amazon ....

    Hi all, quick and easy question for anyone that isn't an electronics numpty like me. I need a kettle lead for my MarkBass combo (lost last one at a gig). Just went on to Amazon and there are loads of choices but the fuses vary from 5A to 13A. I have no idea which is right for a bass combo and the one on my PJB combo doesn't specify. So errr what do I need, pretty please?
  13. Clarky
    You know the score with these handy portable combos (but I repeat specs below). I got this a few months ago and its in the less common oxblood livery. Its in vgc and could probably pass for new. Reason for selling: I also have a MarkBass CMD121P combo which has more oomph and doubles well with DB and electric bass and I prefer that, despite it having a larger footprint and being more unwieldy (less wieldy?!) These don't seem to be widely available at present. GuitarGuitar has a couple in black at £675. I will take [s]£500[/s] £475 collected in London (unfortunately I don't have a box of the right dimensions to post at present) MIne looks identical to this stock photo: [attachment=157712:tn1_62039.jpg] Specs from Phil Jones website: Specifications for this product: [b]Model[/b] [left]Briefcase[/left] [left][b]Type[/b][/left] [left]Practice/studio combo with battery power option,100W output,1CH,5 band EQ,limiter,Active/passive input,headphone out, DI out, pre-amp out[/left] [left][b]Size[/b][/left] [left]15.5 x 6.7 x 17.3 inch (H x W x D)[/left] [left][b]Accessories[/b][/left] [left]Power cord, DC cord, Allen key set,nylon cover[/left] [left][b]Poweroutput[/b][/left] [left]100W RMS[/left] [left][b]Speakers[/b][/left] [left]2 x PJB PIRANHA TYPE B[/left] [left][b]Net Weight[/b][/left] [left]30 lbs/14 kg[/left] [left][b]Volts[/b][/left] [left]120 or 240V AC or 12V DC[/left]

    Cheers Michael. Thankfully the bass lines are pretty simple!

    A chap I met at the Sorefingers bluegrass weekend last year asked me if I wanted to play bass for a tribute evening of songs by fabled 1990s alt-country band Uncle Tupelo. I'd not heard of them but like what I hear a lot (raw-edged country rock, bit like early REM and Dinosaur Jr mashed up). So I agreed and with trepidation will be strapping on a fretted electric bass for a gig, instead of upright or fretless, for the first time in several years. The evening takes place at The Gladstone pub in Borough (nr London Bridge) and the poster is below. Its free, by the way! [attachment=157638:1926753_10151906185571097_1317817966_n.jpg] Couple of songs by Uncle Tupelo to give you the flavour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy3WkIfgkSQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7CGkuLEs5U

    [quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1394823510' post='2395702'] Oxford sucks. Live music other than metal struggles as all the venues were so up their own @r5es that they went under. Even the Bullingdon arms has gone downhill and that used to be ok. For a city with such a student population it's really disappointing. [/quote] That sounds very disappointing I was there more years ago than I care to remember and it was quite lively back in the 1980s

    [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1394823572' post='2395703'] He means me... [/quote] We knew that

    We don't have a manager and the main voices in the band (not me ....) seem somewhat reluctant to get one, although I have suggested it on several occasions. I agree with you but its not down to me unfortunately

    Hi Dave, just googled and its says 2h 15 drive time which works

    Hi all, was discussing with Nigel xilddx the other night how hard it is to get gigs in London and how we end up gravitating to the same venues (usually Camden/Hoxton/Shoreditch way), playing to the same people We (All The Queens Ravens) would love to play further afield but to do so we would have to have some idea of venues and/or promoters that would be able to put us on a sensible non-clashing bill (ie, don't mix our folksy/poppy/flamenco stuff with a death metal band and an indie shoe-gazer band!) and it would probably have to be within say 2 (max 3) hours drive so that we can all get back. So pretty please does anyone have any suggestions of venues/promoters in the likes of Brighton, Oxford or within the 2-3 hour catchment of London that we could approach that might fit the bill as discussed above? Cheers in advance For those that don't know us, this what we are like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0noHL4khCeM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EysgZI-BPc

    In short, BassChat might miss some fees from the odd naughty seller but this isn't going to the bring the site down (if someone REALLY doesn't want to pay fees then they wouldn't pay to use BassChat anyway and would use Gumtree or the like). Restoring the old system would allow bumping and useful discussion, (eg, "I want a VT Bass pedal?" "Really, have you tried the new VT2 its got a DI." "OK thanks, maybe I should get one of those instead" etc etc )

    [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1394816785' post='2395606'] If this is the case (and it may be, I don't know...), how would bumping help..? Further still: if there are so many ads being placed, all being bumped, the effect is the same as today, no..? [/quote] People bump ads at different rates and - even if people don't keep a close watch on Items Wanted - the top thread appears on the home page
  24. Clarky
    OK thanks icastle but that just entails (potentially) a load more hassle for the mods. Do the stats suggest that the site was missing tons of fees by people taking advantage of Items Wanted threads? I rather doubt that was the case as anyone wishing to sell would know that they would get a guaranteed wider audience and potentially better price by simply posting a For Sale thread. Seems to me a re-think should be at least considered
  25. Clarky
    I think this is a problem. Lots of people who might be potential sellers probably don't watch the Items Wanted forum and, with no ability to bump, blink an eye and your advert is on page 7 and completely ignored/forgotten Is there no way that [u]only[/u] the poster can bump the thread (ie, so that noone can try and covertly sell, avoiding fees by replying)? As it stands the Items Wanted forum is decidedly sub-optimal IMHO
