    Horse with no name was written as a send up of Neil Young songs I thought..... bit like the 'Southern Man' song by Young with 'Sweet Home Alabama' by Skynyrd as a repost......no love lost betwixt the two apparently

    Talking of which I have just 'discovered' the bassline to 'Welcome to the Jungle' for a gig I'm doing on Saturday. It's cool and I'm enjoying learning it...ok so Victor Wooten it ain't, but it seems Duff has some chops, even though he plays his bass at knee-cap level. Sorry, off topic.....

    Lady in Red if sung by Chris de Bleeaargh Once watched Stars in their Eyes and a dude came on and did the song...wasn't too bad as the wannabe CdeB actually sang in tune. He must have won the show as during the reprise, the afromentioned CdeB came on and joined him as a duet and gave his normal 'eversoslightlyoutoftunebothsharpandflatsometimesallatonce' rendition which set my teeth on edge. I'd rather listen to wall to wall Coldplay (who did some ok songs on their first album to be fair)

    Sold my Grizzly Bass pedal to @IanA. Easy transaction with no hassles

    I'll probably want to buy it back in a few months! 😊

    Just met up with @silverfoxnik to hand over some mullah for his Custom NR Thunderbird. A smooth and easy transaction all the way through and a pleasure to meet the Silverfox and chat about bass stuff. Delighted with the bass and a pleasure to meet you Nik.

    Nice, I enjoyed that 🙂

    Prepare, make sure everything works before setting off to the gig and then enjoy!

    I had a Harley Benton 5 string which wasn't Uber heavy and didn't neck dive. They sometimes need a set up as some of the fret edges can be sharp, other than that they're fantastic basses for the money

    GAS, a bit like nicotine addiction, pops up and grabs you when least expected. I shall remove myself to a small dark room to repeat the mantra...."I don't need another bass.....I don't need etc etc"

    Bought Andy's GK150 combo. Great guy to deal with and a very easy transaction. The amp is superb ..very happy bunny 🙂

    I take your point that they haven't altered it, but I prefer this version

    I really like First to Eleven stuff. They formed as a covers outfit during lockdown - they tour in the states as First Eleven and also have an originals band (can't remember the name) Audra (for that is her name) has a beautiful voice (ok, I've watched 1 or several of their vids) Don't like Coldplay? listen to this...it might change your mind

    I was at a KT Tunstall gig a while ago and they got 4 bars into a song before KT stops playing and announces for all to hear that they'd properly fubar'd the start and would be starting again. So I guess that means....always follow the singer Ms Tunstall puts on a damn good show btw so would recommend popping along next time she's in your town

    Hola!

    Welcome This is a great forum and there's loads of helpful advice available ...and then there's the For Sale section which most of us drool over some (all) of the time, convincing our selves that painting the front room can wait while we acquire the next 'must have' bass, gear or pedal. Enjoy 😊

    The floor tom was right in front of my cabs....wonder if that was a factor
  21. ricksterphil
    Thanks. The cabs were close to the drums so that probably didn't help
  22. ricksterphil
    I'll try that, thanks

    Not sure if a parametric or graphic EQ would be best....I need to research how a parametric EQ works and how to adjust it effectively

    Bass at 2 o'clock, treble 10 o'clock, drive 11 o'clock
  25. ricksterphil
    You're right, I could 🙂
