Here's one of our medleys - Ladies Night - Kool & the Gang > Last night a DJ saved my wife - Indeep > Groove Is in the Heart - Deelite > Groovy

I have to say that the medleys/segue what ever you want to call it really work for us. We do a couple by the same artist but more of them are by various, we use it as more of a way of building up pace/tension on the dancefloor. Then again I guess it depends on what music you play. Our remit is keeping people on the dance floor all the time which is exactly what it does.

The key in functions is to really keep the audience moving and dance, the minute the music stops, people are usually think about sitting down or getting a pint. If you do a few segues (3 or 4 songs), you have the audience their feet for 20minutes and it's high impact Most the bands I'm in do about 2 or 3 in the set which keeps the energy up[/quote] This is what I meant.... ^

My band does this alot. Most of our set is made up of medly's though we play predominantly Disco (yes I said Disco.....) tunes so the idea is that it keeps people on the dance floor all night. Works well and it definitely builds your playing stamina up!!

Gutted... no FX loop on these heads....??? That's a non starter for me really, shame

I've got the synth unit which has the octaver built in..... It's rubbish. Buy an OC2

Anybody got any views on these rigs.... I'm serioulsy thinking about a bigger rig at the moment. I play a lot of Slap.......... (awaits slagging match) and have not had chance to try one of these yet but am thinking about getting the BH500, 4x10,2x10 deal.... that would cover a lot of bases for me. J

The thing with Slapping is.... you get a much better idea of how the bass sounds for that technique if you do it acoustically. You get a good idea of how the bass sounds slapped without all of the electronics/pickups adding to it. If you have a bass that sounds great slapped without being plugged in then it will sound fantastic amplified.

Sting also plays like this

I spoke with them but they are just really getting it together and from what was said gigs are a long way off

Allocate yourself a (GAS) chunk of your bonus..... buy the missus a gift..... stick the rest in the bank.

I prefered him in his TV show..... now he's just a cock!

Guitar specialists collaborate on new Arona series of four and five-string basses Cort Guitars has announced its collaboration with German bass manufacturer Sandberg Guitars. The partnership has led to the release of the new Arona bass in four and five-string models, which combine elements of Sandberg’s engineering and design technique with Cort’s state-of-the-art production facilities. Now available in stores worldwide, the Aronas feature a swamp ash or alder body, a three-piece bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. All hardware is chrome plated, including the unique Sandberg-designed bridge. The basses are also equipped with a Delano pickup system, comprised of two huge bar magnet pickups with 9.5mm pole slugs and custom coils, which capture every aspect of the strings’ vibration. The active electronics include a push/pull volume control and separate balance, treble and bass controls. Graphite nut, zero fret and D’Addario EXP165 strings are other features of the new Aronas.

More Cowbell!

I believe so.

Have seen this from mike.... I'll try and get some more info from him... Here's a quick pic' of the new 750w Purple-Chili bass head. There is also a 450w version available. It has 3 X 12AX7 tubes in the pre, and a pure class 'D' digital power stage with a switched mode power supply. It also sports a full tube driven "Balanced" Line out on the back, as well as a choice of "Speakon" or jack outs. It is also designed to run down to 2 Ohm loads without any problems. At 2 Ohms expect wattages of over 1Kw !!!!!!!!!

I really love Status Hotwires and wouldn't consider anything else at present. Plus if you purchase in Bulk (6 sets) you save even more money!!
