RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Wow ! A lot of info here alteady;) I was thinking back, when I got both of my headless basses setup, they never had any light gage strings. I used to always go for the heaviest gage for years . Then , when I got my vester fretless ( which is not headless), I want everything as light as possible . I have no idea, what gage they are.

Looks like an unfinished aria pro. He must be struggling with demand at the moment . Needs to tidy up the repair shop

Just curious

Don't start slapping everything you play ( unless it's already incorporated in your repertoire )

No one wants to admit it, but if people are having to shout in each other's ears to place an order at the bar or decide to go for a fag then you've become too loud. [/quote] Yes!

Haven't read all of this thread yet . Sorry if I echo others . Sound checks can vary somewhat . (Ie barman says 'turn it down now !' Then when crowd arrives , you keep it at the level that you started with). I think a 250 watt head or combo is enough personally . One cab could be enough. I've never had the luxury of playing with more than one. Then of course, each venue has different acoustics and shoulld vary considerably . If you prefer a growly sound , an active bass would probably be best . If you want to make the whole place vibrate, get a telecaster bass ( single humbucker pickup) and an Aguilar head/ cab with no tweeter

[quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1434394980' post='2799218'] I was in a Floyd tribute which had Chris Evans ex-wife as lead vocalist! We used to rehearse just outside Lenny Henry's house - the one he shared with Miss French. We were called Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. I didn't bother taking my coat off. [/quote] Best one yet! Could do a stoner version..shine on you lazy diamond ?

;)

Could do a gay pink floyd ? Wish you were queer ??

Cool!

I wouldn't . On one occasion tho' Mr.Drums cancelled without notice. The rest of us used the drum pattern on my zoom b2 and played the 4/4 songs a couple of times . It's times like this , when you know Mr.Drums is important ,)

Keep 'em all, and make a decision if you need cash for a purchase /trade etc.

He liked a party apparently. Did he do an album'make the party last ??

Lasted longer than Duracell he"ll be missed.

Ch guitars . Chris is one of my best mates. 100% trust worthy
