[quote name='51m0n' post='434661' date='Mar 14 2009, 03:41 PM']Whenever I walk away from my rig I pocket the fuses. I take my bass in its gig bag everywhere. Whenever anyone says 'Can I have a go' I say 'Sorry, no'. The inevitable 'Why? Oh go on!' is responded to with 'Put 7 grand in my hand right now and you can have a go, anything happens to any of my gear at all and I pocket all the cash' shuts them up.[/quote] You're gonna be great fun at a Bass Bash! Just joking, the Bashes are a different environment, and I've never seen any disrespect to anyones gear.

was actually last Saturday. Gig was great, we went topless, got 2 encores (I'm sure that's not related ). I had some problems to begin with though. It was the first time I'd used my Iceni through my stack in anger. The sound check sounded ok, but when we kicked off I was too loud (made a change - the bass been too loud!) and and a bit toppy for my liking. Not sure how that happened. My stack was behind the drummer so getting to it to make adjustments wasn't easy, so I adjusted the volume and EQ on my bass, with lots of 'does this sound ok now' motions to a mate in the crowd LOL.

Is it the guy from Rage Against the Machine, who tunes BEAD on a 34" but with a reverse headstock so the B string has more length, which it is alleged makes it more stable and sonorous?

Rocky 4 ?

Joe 90 ?

me after Farmer61 then please ta.

[quote name='silddx' post='426529' date='Mar 5 2009, 06:03 PM']Well performed, good songs, but a bit derivative. Great singer, but not to my taste, sounds too much like Chris Cornell for me.[/quote] +1 love your bass tone though, what are you using?

What a gig though. I'd do it I'd quite like to go, but can imagine the ticket prices then once TicketMaster have added their bit
