Who was actually on Mastermind ? I missed it Saw KC live ( Discipline era ) way back in time at Friars in Ayelsbury and was suitably blown away. Belew was a maniac

Just seen someone post my thoughts Basically, yes, you've set a precendent as a dep by playing so many freebs, that they now expect it. As a dep, you are not part of the band, so disregard you play more gigs than their regular bassist. Unless you put your foot down, ( ah 1 ah 2 ah 3 and a 4 ) it will go on as they've got it sweet. While you keep accepting freebie gigs, they'll keep on not paying you. They're not daft are they ? Slight off topic To me, and i know this is the same for all musos, i'm wondering why gig money hasn't gone up with inflation. Everything has increased, yet gig money is either worse, or at best the same as 25 years back or more I know in '91 our band was getting roughly £250 per gig for pub work, and clubs paid a bit more. I'm sure it was at that level before then, and its still that way now

Yeah i'm pretty sure non musos wouldnt even think about that line being hard work.

Someone mentioned JB's Sex Machine, and thats just timing, as the notes are easy enough in themselves . SM is a not track i have a problem with but HMWYRS took a fair while 16ths over an extended period while swapping frets & strings can be tricky to get it seamless. But in the end, its just practice. I find if i leave it for a few months, the seamlessness just disappears, so its a track you have to keep on top of, if you like it of course, or is one of your band's covers. Riverboat is one of our bands covers, and i love the bass line. Never had a problem with the repetitiveness

Norman Watt-Roy's line on Rhythm Stick

ah, i see

Maybe some gorgeous Icelandic women taught you about rhythm ?

The SM110/n's , as recommended by the one of the Muskies Yeah i know its in a 1x12 thread, but backing up ( as if they even needed it ) the Muskies recommendations on Beyma drive units, because they're damn good Back in early 2014, Blue Aran sent me 4 x SM110/n's free postage, £200. He makes very little profit on these and BA are great to deal with. If you fancy any Beymas, buy them from BA if you can Sorry about squishing the photo - The original on the Beyma site stretches right across my 24" Dell monitor. I had to do something !

No probs, as long as my dentist doesn't do those while doing my fillings

House !!

And they just keep coming ...

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1440494872' post='2851171'] Just play root notes. [/quote] And promise to play the root, the whole root, and nothing but the root. So help you God

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1440489235' post='2851124'] 4.15am, you must sleep less than I do! I'm pleased it has worked out for you, it won't be long before I repeat your experience as I go to work on a 2x10 design, those Beymas still look like the best value for money available in the UK at the moment. [/quote] I dont sleep, period ! Yes they're doing well, have seen a few gigs, and as i'm still in the same band, they'll be seeing some more real soon. Thanks to you & the Muskies

Aha. The thread in question [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/235679-can-i-improve-my-cab-at-all/page__hl__can%20i%20improve%20my%20cab%20at%20all"]http://basschat.co.u...0cab%20at%20all[/url] [b][i][quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1400177509' post='2451544'] Sorted ! At last The nitty gritty - these Beymas coupled with the cab mods made, care of the friendly gurus and big thanks to them, specially stevie who plotted the graphs - (cheers mate), has really tightened the sound up nicely. Same output volume as the higher wattage Eminence ( though we ignore those watts mostly, i think ) But the authority, the balance, ... is lovely. F'instance - with the umodded cab + Betas, if i were to say play 14th fret on the G, then immdediately play the 14th fret on D, there was this bloom and jump in volume - strange, as you might think this was more to do with the pickups or strings or both ( Nordstrand P/J SE set ) but i doubt its them. In fact it wasn't... Its happening in front of my ears right now, as i have one unmodded cab + beta , right next to the Beyma / modded. ( dual channel power amp ) The Beyma / Modded cab has controlled this, and anywhere else i got that scenario of bloom / vol jump. It wasnt horrendous, but anyone would notice it. The evenness across lows mids and highs has improved a lot, the tone is def. tighter, and for not much layout after factoring in sales of the Betas ( 2 have gone already ) it turned out a cheap upgrade We call that a result ! 2nd cab to do now, but since its going to be a carbon copy, no need to bore the audience with this one[/quote][/i][/b]

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1439986442' post='2847253'] The Beyma was much more even in sound across the strings and frets. [/quote] I'm pretty sure i said as much about my 2 x 2x10 Beyma SM10's a year or so back Having re-speakered ( and port altered ) my cabs with Beyma SM10's on your reccomendations ( or was it Stevie ? or Lawrence ? - i'll have to find the thread - it could have been all 3 of you ) i am still immensely happy with mine. Although not in lightweight cabs (2 x old Peavey TX210 boxes - heavy ) the sound is the business. With all the technical work done by you guys ( plotting, port addition and lengths etc ) i ended with some fabulous cabs. It'd be nice to find some 12mm top quality Birch in a skip so i could lighten these 2 cabs. I wonder what the chances are ? Oh yeah - you guys are the mutts danglies !

I reckon that Tull bach ripoff bass line would sound the nuts on a big ole double bass

OMG I use an Ampeg BA600 for home practice. I dont turn it up much though

I detest the very look of them. But one man's sirloin baguette is another man's rycin muffin.

Says ' Fender Hot Rod Jazz Bass ' in the thread title ?

Something by Bach ? Perfect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfeISS_jt08

895, tried a few times but couldnt top 895. I'm going to take up knitting
