Total Watts

  1. Not really a gig, but went to an acoustic open mic tonight. Got up and added acoustic bass for the last half hour or so, utterly random and great fun.
  2. The Bluesfire gig at the Doll's House was last night. Long dark, wet drive up into the valleys. Good load in but virtually no parking, but the residents completely ignore the double yellows and we were told "you'll be ok as long as you leave room for a bus". We were a bit worried at first but it filled up a bit (although not rammed), perhaps as it was a miserable dreich night. But the audience made up for numbers with enthusiasm. The juke box made it clear our music was bang on target for the pub and it was great to get cheering not just applause! Got some positive comments all round too, which was nice 😁 Got away well after 12, for a long, dark wet drive. I found an open macdonalds when nearly back so didn't get home until after half one.
  3. Seems the TC k212 is no longer available despite being on their website.
  4. If cash is an issue try TCelectronic Their 2x10 an 2x12 seem to perform well wherever I've seen them used.
  5. I use GRBass AT212 slim. Very detailed sound, works well with a five string. Very efficient so very loud, even with a modest amp. Insanely loud with a big amp.
  6. Went to a local gig last night, was expecting it to be very quiet. A friend's new venture Nearly Steely (nine piece + new guitarist, guess what they play), their fourth gig, and it was packed at half eight. Usually the club has only half a dozen or so before 9. By the end of the night it was totally rammed.
  7. Bit like depping... except with a dep they have to take what they get (especially if the first time is a gig...)
  8. Hah! Didn't notice your comment, just clicked John Martyn without thinking and thought 'Danny Thompson!" so distinctive. Can't believe I've never heard this album. CD ordered!
  9. Yep, any opportunity to play with someone new is an opportunity to stretch yourself a bit.
  10. Every bass with its strap, and to every strap, a bass.* Unless it's a guitar, uke, banjo or mandolin.
  11. Late to this, but electronic components are almost univerally waterproof if they are not powered up. Dry it out and it should recover.
  12. When they came out I very nearly bought one, found them nice to play and distinctive.
  13. I've got a rack case that's 1/3 full with a 1200W pa amp and an 8 channel mic mixer. I was going to put a graphic and a compressor/processor in it, but that would make it immovable 😞
