[quote name='peted' post='590893' date='Sep 5 2009, 06:51 PM']There's an obscene amount of amps on that list, so I'd like to revise my equipment list to: 18. peted - Warwick Thumb BO 4, Squier MIJ modded Precision, Shuker Singlecut 6 fanned fret (if it's ready by then, but I'm not holding my breath)[/quote] +1 - I might just bring a few basses.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='590126' date='Sep 4 2009, 08:21 PM']Volume wars are bad! Play together.[/quote] Could I give you the number of my guitarist? Been trying to explain that for the last two years!

Not sure it's that scientific. Everyone's got their own difference likes and dislikes and sometimes you pick up a bass, play it and just think, "Nah..." Also with tone; one man's meat....

Save your cash! I play in a three piece and don't use any pedals or FX.

The solo in My Generation.

Dorking, Surrey. Tiny pub but packed 10 deep. By set two, they were leaping around and singing. Good mixed aged crowd which seemed to like all our tunes (we do indie, post punk, new wave etc). Loud gig in a sleepy town. For those who've never been, Dorking's biggest claim to fame is having a giant silver cock. On a roundabout.

Curiosity Killed The Cat. Yes, really.

The sound I got at the last gig would do me as a keeper. It wasn't anywhere special - just a pub - but I must have been in some sort of slight-raised-wooden-floor sweetspot. Will I hear it at the next gig? Will I hell....

J.[/quote] Sure that's a bit of marketing spin but just because someone's not on Later With Jools Holland, doesn't mean they're not selling tickets and downloads. Good luck to him.

[quote name='lozbass' post='578051' date='Aug 23 2009, 09:21 AM']Thanks for the very kind words and no problem at all - you can source the rack ears (with fixing screws) in the US at British Audio Service: [url="http://www.britishaudioservice.com/shop_main_trace.shtml"]http://www.britishaudioservice.com/shop_main_trace.shtml[/url] They're about $20 but I think there's a minimum charge of $40 for overseas orders. I'll see if I can find anything in the UK (it should be much cheaper)[/quote] That's where I got mine. They shipped 'em on their own if I remember correctly.

Mowac - that does look the business. Trying to imagine what I'd look like gigging a pink Jaydee in an indie covers band though.... Er, maybe not. Shame - it looks like fun.

[quote name='lee650' post='522216' date='Jun 23 2009, 11:59 PM']his fingerstyle and chordal playing is exceptional and he,s not known for it[/quote] +1 Always prefered his fingerstyle stuff to the machine-gun slap. Learned a lot about feel and timing from playing along to stuff like Good Man In A Storm and It's Over. He needs to sort out that thin 80s tone though, it's terrible!

We used to rehearse in this place which was terrible, except for the fact that they had.... ...a Trace 4x10 combo, which sounded great. Guess who used to do the bookings.

In reply to the OP's question (about 3000 posts ago), I've seen cover bands use this quite effectively using a trigger pad fired off by the drummer. Worked well on stuff like Dakota by Stereophonics where there's a very specific effect sample at the start of the song which the band then plays along to. You could programme different stuff on different pad and get the drummer to fire it off on the fly.

[quote name='BIG.J' post='571578' date='Aug 17 2009, 01:27 PM']Once we packed the gear away we were pretty shocked when we were given £30 (£10 each) [/quote] That's disgusting. Are they saying they only took £300 behind the bar? Someone's pulling a fast one I think.

Sounds good - loads of energy. We do this one too and people seem to love it (once they're hammered!). Looks like a great gig.

If it's just for home practice - get something cheap and put the rest of the money towards your gigging stuff.

Simmering GAS from last year for a Hartke LH500, boiled over when my Trace head went bang. Got one now and loving it. Simple, loud and great smooth sound. Edit: surprisingly GAS free on the bass front, since selling on the Stingray, Precision etc and keeping the ones I actually gig.

Amazing collection you've got there. Despite the trophy ones though, I prob like Yammy and the Aria the best!

What a great place to have a first gig. Glad you enjoyed it!

Sounds scary! Get a new decent kettle lead, me thinks.
