Should it be of use for those wanting a synthy type fuzz: I've put the Clawthorn Drive in separate path to rest of chain, gain 1.7, tone to taste and put it at around 30% blend using the mixer at end of chain. Great for doing poppy covers that require it without sounding too gritty / metally.

Received some neck shims in the post - completely free - from Tony, much appreciated!
-
I'd be interested in getting a slim shim piece also!

On the slight chance you have a short scale, I have a brand new set of regular scale NYXLs where I had a senior moment and trimmed the G string an inch too short, hence being suitable for a shorter bass.

Playing covers - how accurate do you need to be?
foxyFuze replied to Nicko's topic in General Discussion
As above, the feeling and groove is more important than the finer detail I think, unless it's a tribute band where authenticity is key. Significant fills recognisable by Joe public should be prominent, but not slavishly so. I've seen many function bands trying to sound exactly like the original, changing their sounds entirely between songs, and it tends to be rather chintzy. Ty Segall knows how to do a good cover: rocky, fuzzy, keeping a distinctive riff but making the song his own: -
Oh my word. The last photo suggests he's a full speed Walter Mitty character who turns up to Remembrance parades wearing medals he bought on eBay. They do indeed walk among us.

This does chime with my very limited experience switching between pre and post valve power section on my old amp to see what the power section offered. The inevitable question is, given how we have got behind modellers such as the HX Stomp, is "what is a suitable power amp to go for?"

The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash 2019 - Sun 7 April

It is! Not in pristine condition by any means, plays very well though. Brand new excessively zingy roundwounds on which I'm trying to wear in. Might put some flats on it. -

I'm definitely in! I guess sit's just a case of bringing stuff people might want to try? I'll come with my Fender 80's Jazz Special, MB500 (if not sold), HX Stomp and Vanderkley 210MNT. -
Barefaced BB2, steel grill BOTH NOW SOLD

Keen to hear opinions as I'm looking at getting a hybrid amp.
-
There are others on here with more gigging experience using a VK cab, but from my one evening with a 210 and amp not even halfway up, I'd say 'yes'.
-
+1 for this. I bought two for a discount and am in dire need to give them both a run, but the single 210 MNT I used at a pub gig was clear as a bell (with 500W SS amp).

------------- SOLD ------------------ Evening all, I acquired this not too long ago as a back up to my all-valve beast. The latter is now sold so this is not essential anymore. I don't think this needs much of a spiel; it's a GK. It does THAT sound very well and is extremely well built. There's a wee bit of marking on the top where items have been placed on it but it's in good nick aside from that. If anyone requires a photo of the amp guts then let me know. It comes with the snazzy GK case. It would make a lovely handbag if you're stuck for choice on your wife's next birthday. Tell her "GK is the new Prada" or something, you never know... Also included is the power cord, footswitch and cable.

Seeing as musicians spend a small fortune on kit, I think it's the least a singer can do to have their own decent mic and stand.

Anyone travelling from Bristol that would be able to offer a lift in exchange for fuel money and/or excellent conversation? -
I think we are all itching to hear a sound clip...
