NOFX - the drunkest band I've ever seen on a stage, also one of the best... YMMV

Schoolboy error: Playing a surface unsigned gig

There was a guy on a forum a long time ago who made a 14 string bass from scratch (or scrap). It was a catastrophic failure and he tried to flog it on ebay for £400. I never wanted to own that bass. There was even a youtube parody video of it but I think it's been deleted. I remember asking the guy about string gauges, and got a reply along the lines of "30 to 140 in increments of 10"

I have the 1210L and I'm always suprised at how loud such a small cab can go even with a "weedy" 300W amp

It'll be absolutely fine. Putting 500W of bass through it is way more stressful than it standing still

EHX octave multiplexer is a decent pedal, can be picked up cheap second hand

Graham Coxon is the only one who ever had any discernible talent. A truly awful performance, their outstanding contribution to music is that they make everyone else look good.

[quote name='Onox' timestamp='1329769238' post='1547115'] Ok, I did it. I bought an Ashdown ABM Evo I Amp. It looks like new und is fully checked by a technician. The Amp shoul arrive the day after tomorrow. Can you tell me what the Center-Frequencies of the big Bass, middle and Treble knobs are? I couldn´t find something usefull in the old ABM manual on the ashdown-website. [/quote] On my EVOII: 45Hz, 660Hz & 7kHz shelving. All +/-15dB

[quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1329683017' post='1545940'] Sounds like a good deal dude, but i'm after ones with no exposed polepieces. And theyre quite hard to find, especially if you want to know the resistance [/quote] No probs, I'd have thought a big seller like that could afford a £5 meter!

I have a brand new MM-style pickup in my spares box from an old project. Open pole pieces, 4 wires for series/parallel, measures a beefy 12.2kOhm (6.1kOhm per coil) on the meter Will match the price of that Stellah one, so £13 all-in. Send a message if you're interested

[quote name='Onox' timestamp='1329584436' post='1544561'] Thanks for the answers guys! But whats your opinion to Ashdown and Funk? Oldschool fingerstyle shouldn´t be a problem but what is with clean slapsounds? Too muddy? [/quote] For slap, engage the "shape" button (basically an EQ scoop) and dial out excessive bass with the lowest EQ control

Big thumbs up for black/black Precisions Looks really nice mate, well done

I've had my EVOII head for 6 years, gigged heavily for 4 of them. In that time it's needed a preamp valve and a metal corner after the singer dropped it, and the transformer tightening up as the bolt had come loose Extremely reliable and great all-round sound which pretty much suits all genres

^ Was my first thought

Can only fit Energizer in the Pedulla, fortunately they last 6-8 months

No, it was very very broken.
