  1. Sold to petergales...and it sounded great when he was trying it out!
  2. Replied to the PMs - will keep you all updated. Thanks especially to 72deluxe for all the info! My cab is Chinese made AFAIK and has two speakons and two 1/4in jack sockets on the back as well as the tweeter control. I'll be sad to see it go to be honest!
  3. Bump and a price drop. If anyone's interested and fancies making an offer, just let me know. I've always been really happy with this amp, but I don't do a lot of selling so I'm never sure how much to put stuff up for sale for. I could also help with local delivery if required as well - unlike the Warwick cab that I also have for sale, this fits in the boot of my car nicely.
  4. Bump and a price drop. I'm pretty clueless as to how much to ask for this so if anyone does fancy making an offer, you're more than welcome. I might be able to help out with local delivery as well if it helps, although this would be a lot easier to do for the Roland combo I have for sale, as I'm doubtful that the Warwick cab will fit in my car so I'd have to borrow my dad's car.

This amp has been perfect as a compact all in one solution and has been particularly useful due to the number of connections and range of tones it provides. I've used it for all sorts of work including theatre gigs, jazz gigs, big band gigs and function gigs both as a standalone and for monitoring whilst DI'd.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]It has also been a great amp for upright bass (which I've always got good results with straight into the amp using a K&K bass max), as well as bass guitar and punches well above its weight as far as volume is concerned. The ability to save a couple of settings as well as using it in manual mode like a regular analogue amp is very useful as well.[/font][/size][/color] [color=#000000][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]It isn't super lightweight, so it's collection only, but it has always been a good compromise due to its relatively small size without being too small to cope in a full band situation.[/font][/size][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I'm in Guiseley, near Leeds.[/font][/color]

It has always been very well looked after and has never been abused or pushed too hard so is in great condition.[/font][/size][/color] It has never missed a beat and I've always been impressed by the range of tones as well as it's ability to handle to low B and keep up in a loud setting. I've always used it with a little mark II and because it is an 8 ohm cabinet, it has never seen more than 300 Watts, but despite that, I've never struggled for volume and always achieved a tone that I'm very happy with. It isn't a lightweight cab, so it'll be collection only, but it does have a set of removable castors included as standard, which I've always found to be really useful. I'm in Guiseley, near Leeds.

  8. Jonny Clapham and The Blues Assassins are at Hoggs 'n' Heifers in Bentham for the first time, playing songs from artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Robben Ford, B.B. King, Ray Charles, Jeff Healey, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana and many others. Expect a generous helping of punchy driving blues and blues-influenced music with tight, well thought out arrangements, and plenty of guitar backed by a rock-solid rhythm section, guaranteed to leave you feeling anything but blue! Featuring; Jonny Clapham - guitar and vocals Louise Lydamore - Bass Tim Gilroy - Drums [b]The Bassist;[/b] Since we're on a bass forum, I thought a bit of info on the bass player would be in order! Louise is a really experienced and rock solid bass player, having played for years on all kinds of gigs including rock bands, big bands, jazz combos, pit bands for musicals and gypsy jazz bands. She has great tone, great feel, always locks into the mix really well and will be playing a Tanglewood Curbow through a Little Mark II into a Warwick 411 PRO. The rhythm section of Louise and Tim are on top form, with loads of experience, and are an absolute pleasure to work with and well worth seeing. Hope to see you there!

  9. [quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1317137161' post='1387218'] A quick surf on ebay came up with theses goodies ... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-TVX-410-Bass-Cab-/320763579406?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item4aaeffcc0e"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4aaeffcc0e[/url] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warwick-300-watt-Profet-Bass-Amp-Head-/130577867875?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item1e670c2463"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1e670c2463[/url] [/quote] +1 for Warwick and Peavey gear. Peavey are reliable and cheap (mainly due to the weight), and IME, are a lot louder than their power rating would suggest compared to other manufacturers.
  10. Some kind of attenuator might work...this is all I could find though in a quick search; [url="http://www.ehx.com/products/signal-pad"]http://www.ehx.com/products/signal-pad[/url] I suppose you could set the volume low on this and leave it on your amp, out of the way so it can't get knocked...bit crap having to spend an extra £30 though! I was thinking of attenuators like this [url="http://www.studiospares.com/mic-accessories/pro-40db-inline-attenuator/invt/568600/?htxt=JmKYN1biLBFcPn94DCGNsBqSItmTIEyXt%2Bt38Pe6LkNPGq9HZa0UU4GeqxvAEUH4A4bXKZCM0iWu%0AJpg9HOCL4w%3D%3D"]studiospares inline attenuator[/url] but they seem to all be balanced XLR. It's probably quite straight forward to make something that could do the job, but that's not something I've had any experience with. Hope this helps anyway.
  11. AFAIK, the level is like that to enable it to be able to drive a power amp directly...I imagine it could make it a bit awkward in front of a regular bass amp though.
  12. +1 for Doddy and Bilbo's comments about looking at your technique and working with the settings on your amp...also try different settings on your bass too - it's amazing the amount of different tones you can get from even a simple bass.
  13. [quote name='Truckstop' post='1351422' date='Aug 25 2011, 03:32 PM']Ask for a nice one-off fee. £150/£175 per day is good money and is not to be sniffed at. Maybe pitch yourself at £200 a day and then prepare to get haggled down. If it's a big money project, you'll get your £200, if it's a slightly budget production, say you'll do them a favour and do it for £150. You simply can't afford to rely on sales for money. Never comes good. Truckstop[/quote] +1 I think it can be a good way to tell how serious someone is about the project they're hiring you for - if they've budgeted money for session musicians, you know that they aren't messing about.
  14. [quote name='dc2009' post='1350480' date='Aug 24 2011, 05:08 PM']Instrument insurance for me was nothing like that expensive, for £4000's worth of gear?[/quote] IIRC, the cost of public liability insurance outside the MU would have worked out more expensive for me than the cost of MU subs.
  15. For me, it's worth it for the amount of insurance more than anything - £2000 free instrument insurance, public liability insurance and even some kind of personal injury insurance. Cost of membership is cheaper than paying for all this insurance outside the MU. £160 a year for anyone who doesn't know. It's also nice to know that other benefits like contracts, legal advice etc are there if I need them, though I rarely use them. I think that it can be really easy (particularly for musicians who are less experienced in the business side of things) to make uninformed decisions and having a source of advice can be really useful. I don't think the MU can be viewed like other unions because musicians are very rarely on a set wage and there are too many bands willing to play for little money for MU rates to be accepted as normal, but, at least for me personally, the benefits of being a member outweigh any short-comings.
