    Nice one. For me its a gig that really tells the truth. Standing out front at soundcheck with the whole band playing is where it really matters for me.

    Tore blimey, things are changing at TCE..... Sorry 🙂

    Yeah, I’m with you on that one. Cant stand it but....oh wait, cant stand playing it either, but i do enjoy the workout and its very satisfying when it all goes to plan. I once depp’ed With a covers band that was doing all alternative indie stuff. I had never heard most of it, and when I listened to it i couldn't understand why anyone would ever want to listen to any of it. I was right on that point, didn't go down too well at the gig, but i really enjoyed learning all the songs and have since tried to get my band to play some of them (luckily they said no).

    For sale is my 2 year old Vanderkley 1x15 +6" 4 ohms cab. I got this new from Bass Direct in 2016, and its been well looked after. The photos should show you that. The only noticeable marks are on the 4 bottom feet, which is to be expected. Its done 3-5 gigs, but mostly been used for rehearsals. Full spec's here http://www.vanderkleyamp.nl/products/cabinets/115mn6/ As i dont drive and dont wish to post it, it would have to be collection from me either from home (SE1, near the OXO tower), or work (EC1N, Hatton Garden). if you wish to try it out then it will have to be at my work, in the evening. id also have to arrange to get it there but i can do that fairly quickly, within a day or two. No trades, as ive already replaced this, and only very close offers please. Not in a rush to sell, but i do need shot of it as i dont have much room to store it. Photos taken today, so this is the current condition of it. IMO its close to looking perfect but i dont use that word as someone can always disprove it.

    I thought there was a lot of irony in the first half of that article, the bits about manufacturers making huge claims about their gear. Still, he makes nice cabs and hand come a long way, i wish I’m all the best.

    It’s better than my first time around with this, there are better tone prints for OD, but its not a pedal I would use for OD unless i had to. There is a tone print that has been designed for clean boost, and this is the one ive been using. It’s perfect for just making the tone louder, with a bit of an extra edge to the tone. Very usable but not a drive/OD effect really.

    oh yes, a very powerful live band. i saw them on the Live Killers (or whatever it was billed as back then)tour, never heard a live band fill out a venue with so much coming from so little since.

    For me its more the guitar tone and vocal lines that bore me after a while. Again, i do like them but i just cant listen to them too ling in one sitting.

    Never been a huge fan, but i do like a lot of their songs. I do get bored with their sound if i listen for too long. I find it very 'samey', although i do appreciate their talent.

    I was going to edit to say 'cant wait to download this one', but i felt it better to come clean and admit i didn't read every post 🙂

    I watched them film one of the American street scenes in Hatton Garden (where i work) last Nov. Amazing transformation. Not seen the film yet.

    ive used not many in my Squier CV Jazz, but the best of the bunch for me has been my Wizard 74's. I tried the 84's but i didnt really like them so go a set in between the 64's and 84's.
  14. dave_bass5
    Totally agree. The DR-05 is a fantastic small recorder, with very good quality. We record all our gigs and rehearsals on mine. It also means the recordings are more or less as they are in the room, and not compressed so that the balance is all wrong.

    I love this video, especially the bass tone.
  16. dave_bass5
    I love the look of these new basses. I have no issues other than weight with my original V7, but these new necks look really nice, and just what I look for in a neck. I wonder if they will sell the necks only, to fit on th older bodies.

    Cool thread topic. I was going to start one about the design of my new TCE RS212 cab. I was surprised they put two ports, next to each other on it. Im sure there is a reason and its all worked out in software frist, but i was wondering why two, why next to each other, and why these cabs are not the norm when it comes to design.

    When i got back in to playing bass i gigged a Ashdown EB-180 1x15, and then a MAG300 C115 for about two years. Just social clubs and a few pubs. It was always loud enough but after a while i realised just being heard wasn't good enough. No one complained about the bass, but being heard and being felt were two different things. There was no real thickness to the tone at the back of the rooms. Not that i had to fill the room, but even though i could always be heard, i couldn't always be felt.
  19. dave_bass5
    Yep. in fact i normally play a bit louder at rehearsals than i do at the average gig. I normally put it down to the drummer being too loud but good to know there is a real reason for it. Ive never found shop or home playing to be any indication of how a rig will sound at a gig. To my ears all rigs/combos sound great at home, but when they are pushed at gigs their tone can change quite a lot.

    IIR there was one guy who always seemed miserable and looked like he didn't want to be there. This was at the last shop in the last year or so before it closed. I do remember there being a thread about him but it was a long time ago. There was also another guy there that couldn't do enough for me.Offer to put new strings on any bass i wanted to try out. Personally i had very good service from them right up until the end. I even had a few good chats with Chris the tech there. He was the one that told me about how much Squier JV's were wroth, and that it was the neck that was the big deal. I had taken mine in to get it looked at, when i was getting back in to playing, and i remember he was all over it. To me it was just a cheap bass that i had for years and never got around to selling it because it was a cheap bass. I ended up trading it for £300 towards my first real Fender. In case anyone was wondering why so low, only the wooden body and neck were original, all hardware had been changed.

    ive got a Donner Tuner. Somewhere in there is a joke about post gig Kebabs lol. These generic Chinese companies are putting out some impressively priced pedals, and makes me laugh at the DG etc stuff when i see those prices. My two Joyo OD's are the best ive every used. Both cost less than £100 total.

    This thread is quite a contrast to the other, old thread about how poor CS was at the BC before it closed down.
  23. dave_bass5
    Thanks for the info. Might not bother then.
  24. dave_bass5
    Has anyone tried this stuff? https://www.amazon.co.uk/25mm-Black-SJ3550-Dual-Lock/dp/B004AQOBS2/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1540389440&sr=8-18&keywords=3m+velcro I'm finding the supplied tape that came with my PT to be quite poor (as DB says above). Edited to say, i know this wont work with velcro, and the whole board would need covering again. i was just wondering if anyone uses this type of thing.
  25. dave_bass5
    I got one of these about a month or so ago. Its very small and just does enough without all the extra stuff i dont need. Seems just as accurate as any other tuner ive owned. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EYB97GI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Saying that, i did treat myself to a TCE Polytune 3 to replace it, as.......well, its a cool tuner to own.
