  1. We are playing a beer festival at a rugby club tonight. What could possibly go wrong..............
  2. Yes its a standard Thumb shape for a year 2000 5 string bolt-on.
  3. Yep! It drew some lovely kind comments, as did my wafer thin Letts fretless.
  4. There appear to be two dudes with hats (or caps). The one on the left is Allan aka Cytania. I'm barely visible, wisely hiding at the back.
  5. Next up - Dream Theatre in Birmingham on Saturday - John Myung on bass. Just hope the mix is clear enough to hear what he is doing - DT music can get a little er... busy.....
  6. I'm a mere lightweight by comparison with some most of the above lists! Stagg Peavy Lakland Tanglewood acoustic Michael Kelly acoustic and currently Warwick x 3 John Letts
  7. New ABM owner here. EVO II 500 2 x 10 combo, dated 2006. Rescued this in a poorly state from Facebook Market place for a mere £60. One phone call to Dave at Ashdown, and one postal delivery later, now potentiometers all round installed (two of the EQ pots had broken off at the shaft!), and a coat of car vinyl restorer product, and its as good as new! Absolutely amazing customer service from Ashdown, who posted out ath their expense and refused to charge - so I'll make a charity donation in lieu.
  8. Apparently the cyber attack doesn't affect imports - just exports of parcels. Service Updates from Royal Mail today
  9. Today? Child In Time When A Blind Man Cries Perfect Strangers
  10. "Alexa - Play Christmas rock songs" - great accompaniment while peeling Brussel sprouts - just saying.
  11. I use these - they work well for gigging too. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Auralex_Isolation_Risers.html
  12. This. All my bass gear. And the mixer. And the lighting. And all the cables and mics.. And the mic stands. And the PA stands. And the lighting stands. Oh - and the wife.
  13. Is it good for metal plastic? I'll get my coat......
  14. Click on Build Diaries. Forum does not come up....
  15. A "professional" marketing company/label, and they use a generic gmail address and not their own domain?? Stay well clear. Probably.
  16. This. John Otway manages all three pretty well.........
  17. I use the predecessor to this - a good compromise between "entry level" and "how much????" Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 Communicator review | What Hi-Fi?
  18. Back in the day - this. More recently - this - its simply astonishing: MArillion - All One Tonight Live At The Royal Albert Hall marillion.com | Racket Records Store
  19. Co-written and engineered by bassist Steve Vantsis - some lovely Spector bass on this. Grace of God - YouTube Fish - Weltschmerz (Official Video) - YouTube Fish - Garden of Remembrance (Official Video) - YouTube Fish - This Party's Over (Official Video) - YouTube
  20. DT150s, or DT100s - they do sound very different. I do love the sound of my DT150s, but totally get that they may not be everyones cup of tea.
  21. This is why I use Beyer Dynamics DT150s - many of the parts are replaceable. They are unfortunately twice the OP budget, but you really do get what you pay for, and as a bassist you'll love the extended bass response. They are not over bassy, they just go deep where lesser models start to distort. beyerdynamic DT 150 Headset: Amazon.co.uk: Musical Instruments
  22. Used to haunt the Welly and the Polar Bear in my student days in the very early 1980s. Was deafened by Budgie and Vardis at the Welly. Sad to hear of their demise.
  23. Shame the OP seeks a one-box solution. There is some really good quality pre-owned kit on fleabay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ICONIC-CLASSIC-VINTAGE-THORENS-TD-150-Mk2-RECORD-PLAYER-TURNTABLE/174325441366?hash=item28969b2356:g:jjcAAOSwih5e8J9x I have two of these, and with a good amp and speakers and a decent cartridge they pull out a lot of detail from records. I think they are appreciating in value too - I only paid about £15 for mine from a car boot sale!
