Stingray5

Nice to find this thread here - even if am about 6 years late!! Anyhoo, here are my two Westone Thunder II's (c.1981). I bought the fretless in the mid-80's. I also had the fretted bass at the same time but actually sold it in the 90's. (Doh!). However, I found the same one on Ebay a few years back and snapped it up.

Haha, fair point, but I have to say almost all of our gigs are ground level. On occasion where there have been stairs, we've even been lucky enough to have a lift. I know none of this is guaranteed in which case, where I know beforehand, I can always bring my lighter Eden combo instead. 💪 💪

One more from the archives - not an exact replica, this is a 'tribute to Jaco' Jazz Bass made by a British luthier which I acquired about 10 or so years ago. Action and pups needed a bit of sorting for live work which I never did get around to doing. I eventually sold it on to a non-playing Jaco fan who wanted to hang it on his wall.

Yes, indeed. Fortunately, we usually have a couple of roadies for all that humping palarva...!! I do also have my trolley for the cab plus wheels on the combo. Sorted.

Yeah, that's nice! Not a million miles away from the TRB series.

Ned Callan 'Cody' bass - converted to fretless, changed pup to DiMarzio, coil-tapped. This really is one from the archives, hence the slightly fuzzy pics. I had this bass back in the 70's (along with it's little brother, Ned Callan 'Cody' electric guitar). With my old Kramer 450b and HH Bass Baby combo.

Here's an early Tokai Jazz (c.1981?). Originally fretted, the bass has a small issue with the truss rod so a few years ago, while the repair chap had it on the bench, I asked for it to be converted to fretless (now has a nice Indian Rosewood board).

Ah, I had this 1a back in the 80's (not a great pic), also had a Thunder Jet for a short time, but eventually outed both of them after I got the Thunder 11's

My feelings exactly

May still be old school but my Trace rig just keeps delivering.... GP12 SMX combo (1x15) + 2108X cab (2x10+2x5) + GT-6B At rest.... At play....

plus one!

45 minute set: The Prog outfit - 5 songs (if we're careful) The Jazz outfit - 7 or 8 songs (if we don't waffle) The covers outfit - 10 to 12 songs (if we end on time! )

Thanks for the clarification. I suppose it makes sense, although given the fact that the total number of posts in Off Topic (approaching 800,000) far outweighs most other forums on Basschat, it obviously shows where most of the chat takes place. No worries, to be fair I wanted as much to check if there may have been any issues which then got me wondering what my actual total count should be.

The number count of posts showing in my icon area when I submit a post doesn't appear to be updating. Earlier this week it was at 1,191 and though I've since posted around 15 more over the last few days it still seems to be showing 1,191. Most of my latest posts have been in the "Word association..." and "Photo Uno..." threads so posts here have been a single word and a single photo, respectively. Would these minimal posts still be counted? That said, I've also posted in the East Anglia Bass Bash thread but still no update afaik. Just wondering if anyone else may have noticed this? Apologies if this has already been addressed (I couldn't turm up anything in a search). Thanks, Steve P.S. - ha, just gone up 1 count to 1,192 after posting this!

Might I suggest borrowing from the South East Bass Bash and building a more definitive list of who and what will be coming. I've taken the liberty of pasting the list below if people would like to copy and paste the most recent list and add their name and gear into a new post.

Always good to see more Prog bands here. Good song, too, well recorded. Best of luck for the future.

Much kudos to Lisa-Marie and Mark for this raw, no frills performance. Vocals and piano both excellent. Wishing you every success with the band, too.
