Went to see David Mcalmont last night at the Lowry in Salford Not my usual type of gig, but as it's my bruothers tour (I think he is managing Mr Mcalmont as well?) I took advantage of that and took my girlfriend for a night of laid back music! First up, great performance by David Mcalmont, didn't know what to expect, but he has an amzing voice, huge range! On bass was Neville Marshall, he played a mix of upright and Fender (I think) Jazz. Great upright sound, the highlight was a song, the name of which I forget (possibly A nNght Of Sweetness?), which was just upright and vocals, credit to both for making it sound so cool This photo ain't from last night, but it is the song I mentioned above Tony

Somehow, the p/up pan pot has sheared off! The bass was very well packed, not sure how it's happened! Looks like the bass will go back to bernie as the pot is hardwired to the board. Really good communication with the seller, the guy has been really helpful! Tony

Nice, slick neck, slightly bigger than what I'm used to, but soon adjusted! Action was way to low for me, was like butter but way too buzzy! There is a problem with the bass as a result of shipping, but I haven't contacted the seller yet, so will update on this later. Very pleased overall, owned a Rumour before so kind of new what to expect. My valve rig probably ain't the best set up to do this bass justice, but I have been considering a small combo for practice in my flat! Tony

Yeah, I'll see how I get on for time with the pics. Got plenty of playing time tonight though! Tony

Incoming Rumour day!

I heard a "Rumour" that the new owner will recieve this bass on Tuesday!

I hope you have some spare ones. Steve[/quote] No worries mate, got plenty of those, thanks for meeting up with this, all in good order! Tony

Had some fun today! picked up Roland V-bass yesterday, the earlier floor mounted unit, with a GK3-B p/up The pick up got stuck onto my jap P bass, with the small controller secured onto the front of the bass with a screw into one of the pick gaurd screw holes!. All nice n neat, a short patch lead runs from the bass into the controller and the GK lead is secured to the patch lead around the back of the bass and into the controller Just been going thru the patches today, need to download the manual and give this unit a good looking at! I know they've been around for a while, but realy good fun and they are cheep now (even saw one shop with the new unit at £545 a few weeks back!) Gonna hook it into my pro tools desk and see what it sounds like recorded! Tony

I used to use my fretless jazz, but got me fretless Lakland hollowbody now, also a mark bass superbooster pedal as I like the filters on fretless

Core x right angled jacks! [attachment=71891:corex.jpg]

I like it, good skills! T

Ooooh, nice, I take it that one didnt make it to ebay! Tony

Did you buy the sunburst Rumour? Tony

at this time of the night? Where from, sir?

I'm Sparticus!

Didn't last long!

After 12 months of gigging the same board, I now it's right, made a few changes along the way, but my main gigging board is sorted. Now time to rebuild it whilst my band is not gigging Currently on an older PT jnr, with Gator power supply underneath. The PS wall wart is in a socket on the end of a long extension, which is gaffa taped under the board. I throw the extension on top of the pedals before it goes in the bag. It works, not ideal as the extension twists a lot. Pedals are EBS multi comp, Octobass and Multidrive. Dunlop 105q wah. Strobostomp tuner, samson airline wireless and a 2 channel true bypass looooper All the pedals run in one loop on ch 2 of the looper, and the tuner, which is at the top of the board, is on ch1, which is just acting as a tuner mute. I like this set up, most of the time I'm just using the two switches on the looper! The three EBS pedals are linked with bouble ended jack plugs and the rest of the board will be connected with some Core X plugs and cables I bought recently Also new, is a voodoo labs iso 5 PSU, which arrived today Now just need a newer PT JNR so the build can begin The old board will retain the Gator PSU, but mounted on top. This board will have the remainder of my pedals on Fulltone Bass driver, 3 leaf groove regulator, Boomstick bottom feeder and Markbass super booster (i use the filters for my lakland hollowbody!) plus any other visitors. It will live next to my new board for easy connection! I've also got a blue LED strip, that might go under the new board as well !! Pics this week Tony
