I recently bought an ng3 to use in a hardcore band, but decided to take it to an 80s cover band gig on Friday night. Used the neck and bridge pick up, with a slight bass boost and it was fantastic

Turnstile - Glow On

Amazing band and this album release show was class 

I went VIP for Green Day and Rancid in 2017, definitely worth the extra money if you can afford it.

Enjoyed it way more than a typical stadium type show. You don’t have to miss a quarter of a set if you want to get a beer, loads of places to sit, decent food etc. I’d defo do it again

This is in our set list, I thought I had the sound pretty close with just my envelope filter but got some tweaking to do now!

Rancid have been mentioned a few times here, but check out Operation Ivy. Matt Freeman’s lines in Op Ivy are fantastic.

Also, listen to Todd Kowalski’s playing in Propagandhi. The bass playing on their last album Victory Lap is incredible! In particular on Failed Imagineer, Adventures in Zoochosis and Lower Order. 
 

Since pub gigs are still banned, my 80s cover band have decided to some videos. Here’s the first one, hope people enjoy it!

I’m a recent convert to cab sim since getting an x ultra and can not wait to to get back in the rehearsal rooms and try it out with the band. The Forrester Monster cab sim in the darkglass suite sounds incredible. 
 

The element looks amazing, just not sure I can justify it since I’ve already got an ultra pedal with aux in.

Bought a microtubes x ultra last week and been playing along to Pantera to get used to it! Loving the Darkglass!
 

Normally I stick on some Ska to lift me up but recently the Postmodern Jukebox stuff has become my go to for a bit of a lift. Some of the singers are amazing.

These are my favourites at the minute.

I really want to buy a Sonic Blue Fender Original 60s Jazz Bass. I already own 8 Jazz Basses!

Why????

I think I need help 

I want one of these as well 🤷‍♂️
I have a Darryl Jones but am finding myself looking at fender 60s jazzes more and more the last few weeks. I also have a sonic blue AVRI 63 P Bass, so the jazz would be a lovely companion for it 😂

I also abide by the 3 month rule, and I still want a 60s jazz and I also want a darkglass x ultra and a Sandberg after nearly 3 months of lockdown. So, the next few weeks might be a challenge 😩

Sandberg Nighthawk Plus in Dark Grey 

60s Fender Jazz

Lakland 44-51

They’re just the basses, I’ve got another list of pedals headed by the Darkglass X ultra at the minute 

I ordered mine 7th April, got the email requesting payment about 3 weeks ago, super 12T was delivered on Friday, I was in work so picked it up from the fedex depot Saturday morning and I have to say it is an awesome cab and well worth the wait. I just can't believe how loud it is.

I didn't get an email saying it had been dispatched so it was a pleasant surprise when I got the call from FedEx!

Haha It's been about 17/18 weeks of waiting all in so I think I'll pass on the trading of places. It was absolute torture but yes, as you say, i'm sure it will be worth it! What did you order?

I'm nearly 13 weeks into my wait! Look like it'll only be a few more weeks if you've got yours.

PM'd

Yes it is. It went from bassatnight to Clive H, to me, to Lloyd to Peety. Me, Lloyd and Peety are renowned gear changing tarts, I had a year of pestering Clive to get it but it ended up going for the next MUST HAVE.
The volume control is down/active, pull out passive. Super bass so bloody hurry up and buy it. My recently imposed 2 basses only rule is struggling

Ha ha! It is very very tempting indeed!

I'm gonna sleep on it but you may get a PM early tomorrow peety!

I'm very tempted by this!

Is it the this one, does anyone know? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/139408-help-required-lakland-p-mystery/page__p__1260792__hl__duck%20dunn__fromsearch__1#entry1260792

Had a search round for info on active DDs and that's the only one I can find.

Rancid - 2000
Pour Habit - Suiticide
The Wailers - Burnin
Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way
The Specials - More Specials
Millencolin - For Monkeys
The Beatles - Revolver
Dillinger - Cocaine
Reprazent - In The Mode

I saw them play it in Liverpool a couple of years ago, it was quality. NOFX put on a seriously good show.

Some of my favourite lines are Mike's. Reeko, Johnny Appleseed, All Outta Angst, Food Sex and Ewe, I Don't Want You Around, they wrote some amazing ska tunes.

Pantera at the Royal Court in Liverpool. I think it was 94

I've bought a Bob Glaub from there. I haven't used the website but the shop is top quality.

I've got a Darryl Jones and a Bob Glaub and they are both very very nice to play. The necks are just lovely!

Sounds good mate!

Got to agree with Wayne, I've seen them a few times and they get better every time. It's like a gig and a comedy show in one, pure quality.

If you can read it, you can find the sheet music if you google it. There's no tabs online so I learnt it from the sheet music. It's a quality line as are most Wham basslines
