Happy Jack

Ah well, you'll not be popping in to West London to experiment with mine then!

So the handles are made of tolex? Or is it the feet? We should be told! Luckily enough, my daughter never saw fit to develop her musical talent. That means that all the Barefaced cabs around here are mine ...

Whereabouts are you?

In that case try running a standard instrument lead (1/4" jack) from there to the input on a power amp. That should work fine. If it does, then pretty much any cheapish power amp (as used for PA systems) will do the job for you. If you are in any way associated with the PA in your band, you might want to check whether the PA power amp has a spare/unused channel.

Is he planning to be cryogenically preserved for future resuscitation do you think?

Does your AER have a Line Out socket?

I'm really very nearly GAS-free, and I already have two Mike Lulls which are my go-to gigging basses, but that Thunderbird, ooooh that T5 Thunderbird ...

I once owned http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/library/Basses%20SOLD/Westone%20The%20Rail%201986%20SOLD which leads me to believe that the answer is ... closer than you might think.

HJ? Did someone call?

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1418757566' post='2633048'] Barre Phillips, Palle Danielsen, Barry Guy and Jean Francois Jenny-Clarke are four major figures in jazz. I assumed (wrongly) that everyone would have heard of them who goes on a double bass forum. [/quote] Not with you, chum. I thought this thread was about what we DB players felt about that piece of music. I thought it was complete crap, and barely listenable. Hey - it's an opinion, OK? If you intended us to feel shock and awe simply at seeing those four names on one CD sleeve, you might as well have listed Bill Bruford, Ginger Baker, Neil Peart and John Bonham. They're all 'greats' but I wouldn't want all four of 'em on one piece of music.

It's a lunchtime gig? Great! I'll bring my sandwiches ...

You've never heard of 'wireless technology'?

I see that he's sold one already ...

Fair play to the guy, can't see anything wrong with that listing.

I would be very reluctant to do business in Russia or with Russians at the best of times. These are not the best of times.

Cheers - we had a lot of fun. I was playing a Harley Benton U-bass (the cheap one from Thomann) and running it through a Fishman SA220 which is a brilliant piece of kit. The cajon and Rick's Taylor were unamplified, the Fender acoustic played by Si went through one of those titchy Yamaha things that looks like a transistor radio. The event was recorded by Bluejay on a Canon Powershot SX40, both video and sound. Happy Beltane!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1418671394' post='2632222'] Yep, two 115s stacked will have a good amount of presence. [/quote] It's especially important to have presence at Xmas.

It probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

In an area of largely spurious "heritage", the 12-Bar Club is one of the few places that I'll be sad to see vanish. Almost any documentary you can see about the music scene in London in the 60s will have footage of either a band playing in there, or of punters queuing outside it. But the Marquee left Wardour Street many years ago, the Astoria was demolished a few years back, and somehow the contemporary London music scene seems to have survived.
