Really need to give mine a try with this. I have now played it twice, once being at a bass bash (when it did actually sound pretty good).

Not sure I want an amp with a built-in Essex, I like to keep all my Essexes very external

Playing songs in a covers band you dont always like.?

How about groupies that can carry an 8x10 cab and know how to wire up the PA? -
Is there a wanted section?
Woodinblack replied to VociferousDavey's question in Site Issues and Questions
I shall look into it. Although now their post count is enough to see it -
You are right, I didn't realise that. Which is a little sad as I have an ABM600!

Especially if you were singing it as well! -
Yes, we used to be vat registered, but it wasn't necessary when I no longer shared the company. It isn't worth the effort for her and she would end out considerably out of pocket with it as well as requiring more work in a field she doesnt know (and she already runs her company on her own so she can't cope with additional work). So just take the financial hit of losing all her european customers.

Depends if they sell enough to be vat registered. Thats the reason my wife has lost her european market, she isn't big enough to be vat registered, so its no longer viable to sell in europe, but obviously that isn't an issue in the UK. And as I previously said, the price didn't say that taxes were paid.

Yeh, but it keeps your gigs carbon footprint balanced! -
It clearly shows on the invoice that no tax is included or paid so I don't think it would be successful.

As in "Aint got no style, I strictly roots"? -
The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash 2022 - Sunday 9th October
Woodinblack replied to scrumpymike's topic in Events
Photos or it didn't... oh, never mind! -
But if people do decide to get it, remember there is uk VAT to add to that when you get it

Its not a renamed line in, there was never a line in before. But its a signature, it is just a different style with the same power amp and a reconfigure of the preamp. Its nice to have a choice.

I sing a few of our songs, so don't I know it! Some people have no sense, and then they have alcohol! -
Del Amitri… non-bassists should not play bass!
Woodinblack replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
That is kind of how Geneisis worked. Two guitarists (or 3 if someone else wanted to join in), one of whom would switch to a bass if required. Seemed to work ok. -

I always found the picking pattern between the two high notes and the open A is pretty natural and simple, I never saw what the issue with it was, the only issue with that whole bit is the hand move from the bottom to the top the first time, but once you have done the first one and your hand has remembered where it is, all subsequent ones are not really an issue. Which is handy, as normally in that bit someone decides they want to talk to you for some reason. Often the singer. -

I have, a friend of mine but sadly never played in the same band as him. We do it in our set and actually the guitarist does a reasonable solo on it, which isn't always the case. -

Woodinblack replied to bubinga5's topic in General Discussion
I find the solo part easy, in fact the whole song (especially the verse), apart from the first note of the solo, making sure you don't miss it. Not sure how you could do it lower down, that is kind of the song really. there are certainly a lot trickier free songs (which sadly never get played), and general cover songs -
Well, the taurus input is just a line in on the back. By a sneaky technique of 'reading the manual', I discovered that that is exactly the same as the DI, except it isn't muted when you press the mute button, like the DI is.

Saw a great gig... but the sound was awful 😕
Woodinblack replied to EJWW's topic in General Discussion
Going to see Tool next year. We are in the middle parallel to the sound booth. FIgured it should sound good there! -
Hard to say in that as I am not generally a fender or MM player. I was playing dry with no effects (as it was a practice). The closest thing was unsurprisingly my SR5005, which also has a bart, but it also reminded me more of the Geddy Lee Jazz running in S1 mode (both pickups in series), which may not have been surrpising as I was running in series mode on the swtich). In single coil it sounded more like one of the older P basses, with the single pickup.

It was a horrible building for a gig - only went the once. Very cold! Just checked, they played 3 nights so could have been a different night -

I saw Rush at Wembley Arena on the Hold Your Fire tour too. The bass sounded fine to me, but the singing was a bit off. Was it a different night or a different location?
