We'll be loading in up 4 full flights of external stairs on Friday. 🙄 On the plus side there is at least parking but my 58kg ABM610 will still be left at home for that one.

I've already shared this elsewhere on here but it got some nice comments so I'll give it a go here. This is my band Rawkas paying our version of Hold the Line by Toto. 🙂

Post your pictures, Lets see what you all look like.

PM'd. 🙂 -
I'm lucky enough not to have to worry too much about the weight of a bass right now - it would probably have to be about 12-13lbs plus before or bothered me even on a long gig. That could obviously all change in future. Anything under 8lbs just feels too insubstantial to me though.

If you want to get a bit more break up then it's fine to crank the input gain right up and push the VU needle into the red but as everyone has said its more a bit of grit and extra harmonics than full blown distortion.

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2019?

My wallet doesn't! 😕 -

I think I've been pretty lucky not to have made any bad bass purchases this year despite acquiring a fair amount of gear. So far I've gained a load of ashdown stuff (ABM610, ABM 48 Mini and 15 Mini and a little AAA Five Fifteen BBH head to use as a backup) and a couple of pedals (Tech 21 Vt Bass and Leeds). I think my favourite though would probably be the Ibanez SRMS805-DTW that I received just last week in a trade. -
Just spotted this on Facebook and apparently delivery is available: https://www.facebook.com/groups/695109303873154/permalink/2905272466190149/?sale_post_id=2905272466190149

Well that's gonna cost me a year's subscription fee! 🙄 😁 Congratulations mate!

Well that was quick! SOLD! 🙂 -
Up for sale here is my Dod Fx84 Milkbox Compressor pedal. The much respected Ovnilab website which (just in case you didn't already know) is an excellent resource of information about compression and includes hundreds of detailed reviews of a huge range of different compressors, lists this as their top pick for budget friendly compressor pedals. I've added a link to their review here:- http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/milkbox.shtml This is a brilliant compressor pedal and is in pretty good condition considering its age. The Rubber base however was removed by the previous owner to allow velcro to be added for fixing to a pedal board but I have tried to reflect this in the price. Apart from that though everything works exactly as it should. The pedal can be powered with either a 9v battery or mains adapter but please note that neither is included. I'm happy to post out by recorded delivery at the buyers expense. 2nd class Royal Mail would be £3.90.

Just came here because I found an advert for this on Facebook but you've beaten me to it. 😁 https://www.facebook.com/groups/992440637527378/permalink/2253009454803817/?sale_post_id=2253009454803817

I'd happily take either of these - although, assuming we're talking about the original artists playing in the current era, Burn would be with Glenn Hughes for the vocals (Coverdale's voice is shot).Having seen GH perform this live a couple of weeks ago, I'd have given my left b*ll*ck for the chance to get up and play. If I was allowed to resurrect Keith Moon though then The Real Me would be the one. I got to see The Who play it live back when I'd just started playing myself back in the 90s with Zak Starkey on drums and John Entwistle's playing completely blew my tiny teenage mind!

We're based in Norfolk but gigs also spread into Suffolk.

Thank you very much! It's a lot of fun to play (helped immensely by the fact that I play with some fantastic musicians) and always goes down surprisingly well considering it's not Sex on Fire or Mr Brightside. 😁
-
How about one of these? Only holds 6 but at this time of year it could double as a Christmas tree. 😁
-
Yeah, it's manageable enough with the tilt back casters and I can just about lift it into the boot of my car okay without giving myself a hernia (it's a big boot). The Mini Cabs are for less accessible venues. We're playing a hotel after Christmas where we have to load in up four flights of external fire escape stairs so they're getting a run out for that one. If we play really big venues then I can run the whole lot together.

ABM 6x10, ABM Mini 4x8 and ABM Mini 15.

I got my ABM head a couple of years ago in a trade on a whim (it's the chrome fronted rack mount version - I guess I'm a bit of a magpie). I'd had an Ashdown head about 15 years ago that developed a fault which the store I bought it from failed to get sorted so I just gave up on it. If I'd have know at the time about the level of customer service that I'd have got by taking it directly to Ashdown if have saved myself a lot of money going through other amps over the years. Anyway, my current ABM head was a revelation - powerful, punchy and I don't know about anyone else's but mine is 100% wool free. I recently got myself some Ashdown cabs to go with the head and a little Five Fifteen AAA head as a backup and honestly can't see myself using any other make of amp in future.

Thanks! Well if a homemade case is good enough for him then it's good enough for me. 😁

The staccato low notes felt like sledgehammer blows to my back! I loved it! 😁

Finally got to take this to a gig for the first time last night (we'd had to cancel all our gigs through November because our singer developed an abcess on his tonsil). I also decided to try a little experiment running my big rig and my little rig together. Anyway, I posted up a picture on Facebook and got a share by none other than Mr Mark Gooday himself. 🙂
