[quote name='JimBobTTD' post='238347' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:11 AM']The first (and last) wedding party I played at was a few years ago. It was guitar (me) and bass (a mate) - no drums or vocals. The bride's idea was that we would play, the lyrics would be up on an overhead projector, and everyone would sing. Er, ok. She requested "Satisfaction" and "Personal Jesus". Yes, that old cheery tune which everyone loves. We rounded out our four tune small set with a blues jam and "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)".
1. She left the lyric sheets behind.
2. Nobody sang, not even during "Satisfaction".
3. Almost everyone stood stone still.
Lessons learned:
1. Trust nobody.
2. No drums or vocals? What were you thinking?
3. Don't play "Personal Jesus".
4. People love "Voodoo Chile".[/quote]
Yes, Yes, Yes - last night I had to persuade the guitarist NOT to do Voodoo Chile !!! What is it with them ? -
Just got back...
...playing [b]Purple Haze [/b]during the set to a typical wedding crowd wasn't a great idea.
Any other 'classics' to avoid ?.... -
I'm thinking British...
....Pino - makes sense and Norman would be a good choice !
Chris_b - is that a true story ??!! , sounds right for the era - MU issues ??!!!! -
According to Ian MacLagan and a few other sources Rod, Ron and Kenney are likely to reform The Faces.
Anyone got any ideas/suggestions who is fit to fill the role of Ronnie Lane ??!!!
Rick Wills ?
a sober Tetsu ?
Bill Wyman (erm ! - see the Brit awards '93) ?? -
[quote name='steve-soar' post='234365' date='Jul 7 2008, 06:31 PM']That is a handsome cab, especially with the Ferrari badges.
With the Dood's power amp and a decent pre would be a sucker-punch rig.
I wish I had more money, space and a bigger car, there is so much great gear for sale at the moment.
I'd love to hear it and play my lefties and your lefties through this. [/quote]
Thanks ! I may be open to offers of decent lefty basses
BTW - you don't need a bigger car for this cab - it'll sit sideways in a modern Fiesta !!!! -
Pics, details and price updated !

[quote name='gusto' post='234279' date='Jul 7 2008, 04:45 PM']is this still for sale? How much??[/quote]

Hi Clarky,
Didn't realise there was another for sale around these parts - did a quick search and nothing !
I'd of thought this kind of cab would be snapped up pretty quickly. Anyway, all the best with your sale !

[quote name='Clarky' post='232849' date='Jul 4 2008, 05:40 PM']Good luck, I've had one on this Forum for a while but no takers as yet It took warwickhunt a while to sell his high-end Tech SoundSytems 6x10 so it looks like 6x10's are not too easy to shift at the moment
Again, best of luck![/quote] -
Hi,
I'm selling this...
Official specs - [url="http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua=en&cat=2&vedi=26"]http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua...t=2&vedi=26[/url]
Bought new 31.01.07 - great cab, bags of headroom, has been used with all sorts of amp heads - handles brilliantly - and it'll fit comfortably into a smaller car such as a Fiesta. It's basically a few inches taller than a standard 4x10. Ferrari badges have come off a damaged 348 Berlinetta, the other is on my Markbass 15 traveller!
Selling only as I've just bought an 8x10 and need to fund an estate car !!! These usually retail about £1000 at Bass Gallery, Bass Centre and Electro Music.
Any potential purchasers are more than welcome to come and try this cab out for themselves.
£800 or offers - may be interested in px's such as a Gallien-Krueger 800rb or a decent left handed bass ! -
Absolute pleasure to do bass biz with - and an A1 fella !
Drove South to North Wales to buy and collect an Ampeg SVT - top marks ! -
Hi,
Just a quick note to say the Ampeg SVT gear has now been sold !
Line6 Bass Pod Pro still available !
Ta. -
[quote name='overwater#1' post='220134' date='Jun 16 2008, 07:16 PM']haha I knew you wouldn't be interested in that...
Anyway, I am possibly getting it sold to a dealer, in which case, il have some cash.. for this possibly if its still around. Watch this space.. [/quote]
Cool ! -
[quote name='ped' post='220091' date='Jun 16 2008, 06:09 PM']I suppose a trade for a Line6 FBV Shortboard is outta the question?
Cheers

Hi, gonna have to pass on that one ! Ta Anyway ! -
[quote name='overwater#1' post='219852' date='Jun 16 2008, 02:08 PM']I have just bumped my Westfield Bass and Marshall amp in classifieds, would you be interested in a trade for either/both + heavy cash settlement from me to you??
Worth a try... [/quote]
Hi ! Thanks for the kind offer - I'm not strictly into trades on the Pod except maybe a Gallien 800rb (and cash) ??? Anyone ???!!! -
Just a quick note to say the Ampeg gear is sold pending the usual details !
Line6 Bass pod pro still available.
Ta ! -
Hi Jack,
Yes it's still all for sale - but I'd rather sell the Ampeg gear all in one go !
But, as time goes by I may split - watch this space !
Thanks. -
[quote name='steve-soar' post='210732' date='Jun 1 2008, 08:21 PM']WOW, what a sight![/quote]
lol ta !
Is that Norm in your Avatar ??!!! He's one of the men. -
Just a quick bump !!!!
And a quick reminder of the Ampeg all Valve SVT 300 power amp and SVT-Pro Pre-amp that I'm selling...
SVT300 Power Amp (all valve USA)
SVP-Pro (all valve USA)
6U flight case
[b]***SOLD***[/b] -
Pics added !

PM'd you Rob !

Hiya,
100% sure this is going to due to recent purchases ! This is the original Bass Pod Pro (mk1).
See... [url="http://line6.com/products/detail/7/"]http://line6.com/products/detail/7/[/url] for the Line6 official specs.
Fully functioning - boxed, w/ manuals and in great condition - has always been racked, and has some (non-excessive !) rack rash as a result Potential purchasers are more than welcome to pop down and try this out.
£Sold Pending.... Sorry - not looking for trades on this.[b]*[/b]
[b]* Er, not strictly true - anyone got a Gallien-Krueger 800RB they want to trade for this and some cash ???!!! [/b] -
Forgive me if i'm wrong, but didn't HH have a similar idea in the 70's with interchangable fascia interfaces. Where you could slot in a reverb effect unit or pop in a distortion unit and so on ??!!!
Must find out more... -
[quote name='Shaggy' post='190262' date='May 2 2008, 08:40 AM'] Blimey, was there anything left of it? That's like buying a used car that's been driven at top speed ten times round the earth by the Stig![/quote]
Was in pretty good nick to be fair - probably one of many that passed through the man's hands !!! Tone-wise had great presence through a 2x15 - i do miss it !
Anyone seen the new ltd ed Marshall Lemmy heads ??!!! - [url="http://www.marshallamps.com/product.asp?productCode=1992LEM&pageType=OVERVIEW"]lemmy head[/url] -
Hi, I used to use an allegedly ex-Motorhead 1978 JMP100 guitar head, through a black-face early 80's, 8ohm if i recall, Fender 2x15 and it sounded sweet (until the speakers went kaput - age and all that...) !
Go for it !

I used to play through an alleged ex-Motorhead / Lemmy 1978 Marshall JMP100. In true rock god style I managed to destroy the drivers in an old Fender Bassman 2x15 midway through a gig with this set-up.
