    I've had to do this myself and have previously used two Aguilar Tone Hammer pedals into the PA (I play in stereo) and it worked great. Pardon me, what is FOH?

    Playing at IKLECTIK, London in April this year. Great venue.

    I leant out my amplifier twice. The first time - the bassist put a bit of tape over the lights on the amp head and when they were pulled off took the paint off with it. The second time - the bassist had it on 11 with the gain and drive turned all the way up - the amp was clipping the entire gig. There won't be a third time.

    Yes, I use Transferwise a lot - it's a real good resource.

    Judging by this photograph, I reckon they've mistakenly written "formally" rather than "formal" :D

    Not affiliated but this would be totally killer!

    Only $7000 and this is written so enticingly how does anyone resist? "The day of the recording session will be chosen by the Rocco camp: All travel, lodging, food, tax and any other expenses are the sole responsibility of the receiver of the invitation. Rocco is excited to welcome you as an honored guest however, recording of any kind is strictly forbidden: Any attempt to do so will result in termination of this invitation. Rocco, nor any of his team will be responsible for any expenses lost. By accepting the invitation, you agree to the terms."

    £600 - total bargain for this head.

    ...I wonder if I'd be able to guess who that tutor is...

    I went from a 4-string to a 6-string after a lot of research, back and forth, worry about the additional strings, etc., etc. and many conversations with @ambient. This was 2015/16 and now I'm down to just one bass - a 6-string. Ultimately it's been fine. You just adapt and get used to it. Never say never but I can't see myself moving away from a 6-string now.

    The Serek basses get incredible feedback don't they. And I've fancied an Elrick for quite sometime myself too. Which do you prefer so far?

    When people like this contact me, I respond with something like "To you, £400." - I acknowledge it's childish but it makes me feel a little bit better that I've at least been able to waste some of their time.

    In return for a 2014 custom Fodera 6 Elite 6-string I had, some clown here offered me the pick of 3 basses from a selection of 4 he had - 2 US Standard Precision basses, 1 US Standard Jazz and a G&L L-2000. I think a lot of chancers think you're super desperate to sell/trade or they think you're actually really dumb.

    Played at Servant Jazz Quarters in London last night with the wonderful talents of @Steve Lawson and Tom Herbert. It was a really great evening of goodwill with fantastic music spent with the nicest people at a fantastic venue.
  16. thebassist
    I think so too. Thanks a lot.
  17. thebassist
    Yes, Barnes & Mullins - I've dealt with them myself and they're a waste of space frankly.
  18. thebassist
    No. And I only have one left now FYI.

    A 6-string Rickenbacker rip-off for £7000! Incredible. I reckon they'd be amazingly fortunate to get anywhere close to £1000 for that thing.

    Servant Jazz Quarters address is 10a Bradbury Street, London, N16 8JN. SJQ are within two minutes walk of Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction Overground stations. The following buses stop nearby: 30, 38, 56, 67, 76, 149, 236, 242, 277, N38, N76.

    I've just moved on my Aguilar equipment. I have one SL112 left to shift now. I played using two SL112s powered by two TH350 heads. I thought they were okay at the time but the new stuff I have is far better in my opinion. While the SL112s are very, very lightweight, it comes at too much of a cost in my opinion. The weight/sound ratio is perfect on my new Trickfish TF112 cabs.

    I think you should start Hellzero's Bass Lessons.

    When I commission a new build, I'm happy to accept the risk that comes along with it. I think of getting a build wrong and selling it on at a loss as what it would have cost me to have rented the instrument. I actually have a new build due for completion in June and I've only changed two elements from the bass I have currently. I feel like I can finally say that I'm 99% certain I've gotten the specifications right.

    I don't think anything you've written here is unreasonable but I'd probably have waited until another rehearsal or two before speaking up myself. It's a tricky one though. And was the regular gigging club band originals or covers?
