  1. Rhys, if you come to the Bierkeller, do not get the Guinness, it tastes of cider, i very much doubt the pipes have ever been cleaned, also the banana or toffee beer is chuff
    I'll e the more than eager one up front with a beverage that has come from a bottle...

  2. In June of this Kings X are coming to the UK!!!!

    12tt June Bristol Bierkeller
    13th June Wolverhampton
    14th June O2 Academy Islington

    I have my Bristol tickets, I am very nearly thinking of going to all 3.

    They are playing these dates before playing a Festival in Germany 15th-17th June.

    Too excited to finally see dUg and Kings X, I need to hear that Tech21 amp in person.

  3. @LewisK1975 I always fancied a trickfish and have loved sounds I have heard from it, never in person though. One downside of being in the UK is lack of easy access to some of the cool stuff which is just off main stream

  4. Reckon so, truss rod may be ok, I raised the action a bit and with the Boomers it seems to be behaving and staying in tune. Can't wait to actually see what happens. I've been playing drop D and down half a step anyway

  5. Hello mate,

    After a couple of others I got a G&L ASAT in silver sparkle with a #7 neck which is thick, and not readily available. At this point it was not it, but I fell in love with that model.
    The next step was a semi hollow version and this in the UK was especially hard as I did not want any colour, had to be black like my hero dUg Pinnick.
    The sickening/lucky thing is that it was a couple of months and I found one so I snapped it up, but I do not remember seeing another one of these in the past 3 years so it was right time and right place as it was only about an hour away.
    I now have in my collection a G&L ASAT solid and semi, and L1500 which covers nearly all sounds.
    The last one in the list is a Sandberg Umbo and I do have a particular colour and ageing I would go for.
    I am prepared to wait for sometime as I have 3 crackers.

    I do like basses that are not common!

  6. I recognise your points, but you a can have a bit of fun with the amp on the Same settings between both circuits if you are stacking and have different pedals in front DG or not as you will get different effects, i know i could potentially see it working without changing any dials on the amp

  7. Definitely 4 switches, being able to select the VMT circuit and b3k circuit separately is a must I think and makes the amp way more flexible, and may do themselves out of pedal sales except for the fact that stacking the pedals is a heap of fun....
    VMT into a B7K back into a VMT/B3K circuit on the amp could be interesting.....

  8. I can speak as a late thirties guy who took up bass a couple years ago.
    I did this because some guys near me needed a bassist, so I said I would give it a go, now fortunately we are all friends with kids at the same school etc. And they were patient.
    I try my best, i practice as often as I can, this is all of ours hobby and what has gone from me playing root Notes only, I can now do a bit more with bass lines.
    We have done a couple cover type gigs for friends etc. And now want to write our own stuff and see where it goes.
    I was fortunate that I played musical instruments before so had some idea of timings, playing in a group etc.

    I think the main thing is that we all get on, luckily our wives get on too.
    If something changed I had to play with different people it would be no hassle for me and I would rather take a solid guy, reliable who you can have a beer with any day over a virtuoso who was flaky.
    If it's something that's for proper money generation instead of a hobby, then there is a balance that can be struck and you don't need to be buddies, but everyone needs to buy in to the ethos
