My old funkrock band did a mini tour in Barcelona back in 98'...t'was great fun!!! I flew Easyjet with my bass packed in bubble wrap etc - it was checked at customs too. You'll have a blast, great crowds out there that seem more up for dancing than your average uk crowd in my opinion. Very jealous, wish i was out there again; i could write a book about our little hedonistic driven tour out there See if you can blag Catalonia tv coming to a gig also.

First Bass Owned: Ibanez Tr series 'Go To' Bass: Lakland JO5 (with Lindy Fralin pick ups) 'Your' Bass: Custom Fender jazz (with Lindy Fralin pick ups)

My first bit of bling, used a Mighty might PG - wasn't a great fit as had a bit of filing to do, new strings too!!!...really want a maple neck if anyone wants to swap?

One thing i love about being in a reggae band is i never have to compete with a geeetwrist....tis usually the otherway round

I've been playing the OTB through both a Ampeg SVT 4x10HLF and occassionally a Peavey 4x10 TX or 2x10 TX....i must say i'm impressed with the Peavy sounds....holds up very well

Bought an MP3 control mixer thingy, all good, no probs here...buy in confidence

I love the OTB! I've been using this amp for reggae and dub and couldn't be more pleased. I've sold my Ampeg pro 4 as result which was a great amp but the Orange seems to perform similar if not better yet a third of the weight. Great amps!

The Wailers bassist Aston Family Man Barrett was playing the Hohner B-Bass for a while

FWIW i saw a maple necked P on a red body yesterday in the Exmouth Devon branch so the maples are out there. Think i would have prefered maple but i'm happy with my rosewood on my sonic. Also as an update gave it a thrashing earlier through my amp, stonking i'd say although my tone pot seems pretty useless. Am thinking of getting a tort plate if anyone can recommend one that fits?

Mine arrived half an hour ago, no brainer for £60 - very impressed, lovely sky sonic blue, nice rosewood board, fret dressing is nice, neck pocket seems tight, ...even the action is good on mine with no buzzes. I haven't plugged it in yet though All in all though very surprised and happy

Late starter at 21 ish, although i had dabbled with a few chords on geeetar for a year prior. First joined some Salopian/Welsh hippies band and was asked if i wanted to play bass doing cheesey covers; my first bass was a Ibanez TR bass. Then I was put on a funk apprenticeship when a bassist left a mates funk band, my mate showed me the basslines and i was in at the deep end but listening to P-funk/Funkadelic etc was my saviour. Bought a Musicman and Trace amp-joyness. Was tought the tunes and spent 5-6years flying the mothership in both UK and Europe....was never one for practicing so never got any good really...could just about play the bands tunes. Moved to Devon, did a music course for a year learning some theory and joined the university of Dub reggae, graduated with herbers. I'm also a youthworker so I did a stint teaching bass which was great for me too as it gave me an opportunity to learn how to play Discovered basschat a few years ago, change my bass guitar and rig with what seems like every week as a result , not because i'm searching for the ultimate bass/rig (is there such thing?) but the fact i love trying different gear when i can. I still dub the low notes today with a few local reggae players although admittedly throughout my days i've also always loved bands like Ozric tentacles and Gong and therefore dabble in a bit of the psychedelic prog now and then; actually got a band going at the mo with a few local festies lined up.....niceness. Currently am loving my custom Fender Jazz bass, Lakland JO5 and Musicman Stingray to deliver all this. Jazzfunkfusionreggaedubprogrock player i guess

Another order to the clan, needed a cheap back up.......Mrs bought that excuse

I'm a bit of a dumb ass with the old logic and stuff but i got a quick Q, if its easy feel free to answer...if its long winded dont worry to much. I got a DJX Yamaha toy synth, i've linked it up to logic, midi coming in etc. The DJX has sounds built in, so i'm like playing drum sounds in from the Djx and the bass drum comes in on say note D#2 into logic ...but in Logic my bass drum is on C1 using a AU (Addictive drummer) drum machine...can i transpose or change the key of whats coming in...or change in logic where the bass drum should be to use the sounds live in logic? Hope this makes some sense. Cheers
