X2 for the Boss. Works really well and usual boss build quality

Mark King of Level 42.

I might have misremembered but I believe he used an octave pedal to thicken up the sound so you’d need to add that into the mix to try and emulate it.

Colin hodgkinson. Remember seeing him on tv with alexis korner. Very unique style that really struck a chord with me - pardon the pun!

I’m intrigued now. @Hellzero how can you tell it’s an energy and not an s3000? Mine looks exactly the same but does have a separate battery box. We’re they basically the same model but rob decided to change the name?

Haven’t used them myself but a lot of people have recommended Essex Amp repairs to me. Might be worth giving them a call as not a million miles from you. http://www.essexamprepairs.co.uk/

It does look like an s3000. I bought one on here for around that price during lockdown and love it. Although it had been ‘modified’ and I’ve just spent a few quid with Status to get it back to standard. They have an active 18v circuit but it only does treble boost and cut. If you get the serial number then status will have a record of when it was made and original specs etc. Serial should be on the brass fitting at the nut end of the neck. Lovely looking bass.

Transmission by Joy Division. First bassline I ever learned

If I can be cheeky and add a couple (cos I've just been reminded by my iTunes shuffle): Bowie David Live (featuring the late, great Herbie Flowers) and Santa Monica 72 (which I'm sure I first had as a bootleg)

Live at Leeds - the ‘oo if you want blood - AC/DC live at Redrocks - U2 August and everything after live at the town hall - Counting Crows A physical presence - level 42

It is a shame. Unless they're a Level 42 cover band I would imagine that most stuff could be covered finger style until you're up to speed with the slap. Not certain that 'hard funk' has to mean slap. Look at Bootsy!

I did a couple of rehearsals with Paul’s guitarist. My ears were bleeding! He’s a great blues player but loves to run his fender twin at 11!

First proper gig since lockdown. Conveniently filmed by local camera guy who happened to be at the venue. Very enjoyable evening. Just nice to be out again

Thanks. Apparently he's a local pro video cameraman who films bands at this venue as a bit of a hobby so we were just happy he captured a load of video. Thanks, its been with me for 30-odd years now and still the 'one'. Indeed. We've played here a couple of times and we work hard to get people in, which the venue appreciate.

From our first proper gig post lockdown and with our new keys player. It went down very well and they’ve booked us for NYE.

I might have missed this info, but if you tell us roughly where you are I’m sure you’ll get a few suggestions from the community. I know of 3 or 4 jam nights within 30 mins of my location.

I use the WL-50 so already have the transmitter part. Shame they won’t do the headphones separately.

I live very near Status and have my S3000 with them currently for some fettling. Its taken a while so far but I've kept in contact (by phone) and they're very responsive. Dawn explained that there has recently been some illness and also work carried out to improve the factory, both of which have resulted in a bit of a backlog. I guess it's a case of 'bear with' for the time being.

Or “well I play it in that key with the other band!” At the end of the first song of a set.

Our slot here at the end of the month has been confirmed as on. Can’t wait.

Brian bought a set of strings from me. A true gent who paid quickly and was quick to respond to communication. A pleasure sir!

East Anglia based Funk shed, currently three piece plus vox, are looking for a keyboard player. We play mainly funk and soul covers in our own inimitable style plus a few originals and have upcoming gigs. We’ve been successful as we are but are looking to add another dimension with a keys player. Stylistically think Brother Strut mixed with JTQ and a bit of old school. https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/WW48uiPejf7AgDQs https://youtube.com/channel/UCrXI8q2Kh2G4wWK7kLFY_Ww Really easy going guys who actually get on and have avoided the usual band infighting! If you’re interested let me know. cheers Darren

Fretwraps?

Oh and Tom Robinson too!

The bloke in 999. No idea who he was but nice bass parts. ‘Feelin alright with the crew’ springs to mind
