    I have the alpha omega amp and it’s brilliant

    We had 15 gigs booked for this year, our drummer decided he wanted a minimum fee from gigs and so we had to cancel 4 gigs because they weren’t paying what he wanted, a week later he quit with no notice which has meant we’ve had to cancel several more, which means I’ve lost out on around £600 which I’m not happy about! currently looking for a second band or dep opportunities in the mean time. I have been going to the local jam night though, just to keep my playing going

    Just FYI GAK have moved their bass department to the upstairs of the next door shop and they didn’t have a huge amount of space, or bass gear when I last went a few months ago

    I’ve not watched this documentary since it was released, I’ll have to try and watch it this week. I saw Jason Newsted with Metallica a few times, he was brilliant and still one of my favourite players. His bass playing on Load & Reload is great.

    I am really annoyed. I understand that someone wants to move on, but to give three weeks notice is not cool. we have been together for over a year and he has really dropped us in it

    Played at The Penny Theatre in Canterbury tonight for the first time and it went really well. They usually have tribute acts on a Saturday but the manager wanted to try a covers band and so we managed to get a slot. Wasn’t sure what to expect as we were told it emptied out by 10pm. We were a bit late on due to various issues and didn’t get going until 8.30 and then we had wireless and Wi-Fi issues but on the whole the gig was great and the manager said it was the busiest Saturday that they had had for months. I used my @Tech21NYC Steve Harris pre amp tonight. I saw the great man himself playing in British Lion on Sunday and so thought fit to use it. Unfortunately our drummer announced he was quitting after the gig, and said he would only do one more gig in a couple of weeks and that is it. Quite annoyed to say the least, as we have quite a few decent gigs booked this year including a wedding, and he has really dropped us in it.

    I want one, but definitely don’t need one! I have till the end of March to get the want out of my head!
  8. markbunney
    They are shipping at the end of March, the digital version looks very flexible. It has a compressor, noise gate, octave, tuner and access to 5 different Darkglass distortions

    I have been looking at getting a Darkglass 2x10 cab which are on sale for around £800-£900, now I am thinking for a few hundred pounds more I can get a whole combo. Pricey overall though
  10. markbunney
    They look fantastic, v jealous of those who bagged one!
  11. markbunney
    I dread seeing how much these will cost, given their 2x10 cabs are around £900 and the heads £750
  12. markbunney
    Some new combo's have appeared on the Darkglass website (presumably ahead of NAMM) https://www.darkglass.com/creations/ No info on pricing yet that I can find, but they look good. I have been looking at buying a Darkglass cab to go with my Alpha Omega amp, but might hold off and see what these are like.

    I saw British Lion (Steve Harris solo band) at Leo’s Red Lion in Gravesend this evening. It was brilliant, and just as good as when I saw them in the same venue a couple of years ago. I find it amazing that he gives just as much effort and enthusiasm playing in a tiny place like this as he does playing at The O2. I managed to shake his hand as he walked past at the end as well.

    That theatre is just a few minutes up the road from me. The land that the temporary theatre sat on was a huge patch of bare earth for years since an old coop was demolished. Quite a feat to get it up and running so quickly

    How are you finding the 1 x 12 cab? I have an Alpha Omega 500 and am looking to swap my Orange cab for either a Darkglass 2x12 or 1x12. I’ll be using it for pub gigs, and not sure if 1x12 will be enough
  16. markbunney
    I had my eye on ordering one of these when they were announced but missed out

    Our local shop often leaves parcels piled up outside ready to be picked up by Evri!

    From Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son: Can I Play With Madness The Evil That Men Do Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son All classics. I was 8 when the album came out, but was fortunate enough to see the Maiden England tour 4 times in 2013/2014 when the toured it again.

    I’ve got my eye on getting a Digitech Drop. It’s looking like the band will be down tuning a couple of songs by 1/2 - 1 step. A lot of places seem out of stock at the minute though
  20. markbunney
    That wireless looks cool, it would be great if the release a 5.8ghz version
  21. markbunney
    The Dug one looks like it has a small headphone button on it, maybe they changed the design
  22. markbunney
    This pedal sounds great. I have the Steve Harris version and I love it. I wish Tech 21 would include a better option for headphone use on these. The Steve Harris one is supposed to be able to power a set of headphones, but I have never had much luck in doing so

    Its really annoying, as it only seems to work properly at 50% of gigs. I pair it last after the other items are set up, but often just get a weird pulsating noise from my bass. I prefer using the Boss units rather than the Lekato ones as they don't move around as much
  24. markbunney
    At our gig last week we had 2 x lekato XLR on 5.8 and I was using lekato guitar wireless on 5.8 and everything seemed ok. i tried to soundcheck with my Boss WL-20 which I prefer to use, but it kept cutting out so switched to the Lekato guitar wireless. I am finding more and more that the Boss WL-20 doesn’t work properly at gigs anymore.
  25. markbunney
    I am using the Lekato 5.8ghz XLR mic transmitter set with Behringer P2. Its a bit bulky, but once it's clipped on my belt, I don't really notice it. It has really clear sound, and I have had no issues with it in the 6 or so gigs I have used it for now. I got mine off eBay for about £65, they are more expensive at Amazon at the minute, but the price seems to fluctuate all the time between Amazon & eBay. At our last gig, we had 3 things running on 5.8ghz with no issues. https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEKATO-Wireless-Microphone-Transmitter-Receiver/dp/B099ZBHQ3C
