    Car of choice for lugging gear

    [b]VW Passat diesel estate[/b], spacious, easily consumes my long scale bass, TC BG250 combo and a small PA (Flight cased mixer, 2 x RCF ART10's plus 1 x dB 12' bass bin)!!
    Averages 45mpg round town, 60mpg motorway.

    If you're looking for a good older car, I would recommend a low mileage [b]Peugeot 406 diesel estate,[/b] (if you can find one), even more space and TOTALLY reliable. My old one did 250,000 trouble free miles and was still going strong when I sold it!!

    Good Luck!

    You silly man! Shouldn't edit a perfec pos! [/quote]

    Gotcha !!.........you thought I took the bait, but I was just jesting too. :D

    Wonderful place Kristiansand; I used to gig in a cellar bar called "Yeppes"; as I remember, below a hotel called "The Hotel Christian Quart" (or something like that); quite a sedate place, 4 x 40 min spots each night, sat on a stool with an acoustic guitar, for a month at a time, one night off a week!!
    Also worked another bar across town that I can't remember the name of , but it was more like a wild west saloon, lots of booze & fighting......as I said, happy days :lol:
    You are very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world, I would love to get back there someday......best wishes.

    Welcome, long time since I frequented "Qorry Bonk", is Ma Pardoe's still going strong ?

    Yeah, Pardoes (wonderful local "home brew" pub) is still very much going strong and I should know, I contribute quite considerably to their profits!! :D

    Right................I'm off to have a look around the forum!!

    Hey Brian,

    Welcome!
    I like your style. Supposing, that is, that you DI, and the guitars are unmic'ed. ;-)

    Enjoy the site!

    best,
    bert

    Ha Ha, I get it :D I have edited the post to acoustic/electric to avoid any confusion!!

    So where exactly is Soegne? I had many, many happy days & memories of playing (bars & busking) in Norway, but it was a long time ago; mainly in Oslo but also in Stavanger, Bergen & Kristiansand...............aah, GREAT days!!

    Hi
    I'm just an age'd rocker who's recently picked up a bass again to join a local pub trio; two acoustic/electric guitars + bass [i](with self-programmed drumtrax[/i]), after thirty years performing (and making a living) solo, but having health issues that have restricted my singing/vocal range. Not a reader but a reasonable ear!!
    Gear is simple but efficient & all I want or need; Gibson EB2013 bass, plus a TC BG250 combo that we DI into the PA as required.
    Music genre is wide & varied, acoustic rock, 60's & 70's (Stones/Clapton/Lizzy/Cale/Petty/Free/Fairport, etc) plus originals.

    Hope to pick up some helpful tips and to being able to donate a little too in the fulness of time.

    Cheers.............Brian ;)
