  1. I've got a couple more pics through...
  2. C'mon, everyone... we need to keep this going! He's out there somewhere...
  3. I've just noticed that I started this thread way back when. It's about time I chipped in again. So... none of my bands are particularly loud. Would a single ML112 do for me?
  4. Awwww... Thanks, man. Those Lakland flats are a god-send.
  5. [url="https://soundcloud.com/wateroftyne/no-time-to-lose-the"]...here's the full song.[/url]
  6. Cheers, Kirky! It does... how I love it so.
  7. Hi all Here's a promo video for a gig I have at Newcastle City Hall in June. It illustrates perfectly why I'll never sell my fretless P... :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyQxCVHPmUw
  8. That reply is just rude, IMO. On the face of it, I wouldn't want to work with him / her.
  9. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1361462988' post='1986083'] I didn't know this until yesterday, but apparently even the AG500 has a Class D poweramp...! [/quote] Nearly, but not quite! It's Class T, so it has some of the Class D benefits, but it also has an all-important (IMO) toroidal transformer supplying the power... and no fancy-pants power management circuit.
  10. Sold pending - it lasted just over an hour!
  11. Yeah - Warwickhunt has a MIM roadworn J that is absolutely to die for. It's a roll of the dice.
  12. Hi all It's time for a change..! MESA Walkabout. £550. Excellent condition, no issues. It's next-but-newest revision - i.e. input impedance switch, and an FX loop switch. The only differences to the newest blackface model are cosmetic. It comes with the original MESA soft case. I've changed the jewel light for a funky green one. I'll include the original. I'm based in North Tyneside, but could travel a little way to meet up. Also, I'll ship at the buyer's expense (less than a tenner, I'd imagine).
  13. [quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1361439967' post='1985871'] But my wee Georgie only recognises the bass player. This confirms I am bringing him up correctly. [/quote] That lad has a bright future ahead of him...
  14. Another shot... Mark, Ruby, and the other fella:
  15. It's been at least a couple of days since we talked about this... Bits of wood, plastic and wire screwed together on a conveyor belt are always going to suffer from inconsistencies. What usually doesn't work in Fender's favour are the factory set-ups... if you call tweaking them until they're virtually unplayable a 'factory set up', that is.
  16. [url="http://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/story/2013-02-18/life-of-sir-bobby-celebrated/"]Here's a video report[/url], with a teeny bit of footage from the gig - including a fleeting glimpse of yours truly about 50 seconds in...
  17. [quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1361399369' post='1985535'] Yep....Bass Collection. Was Basschat around in '97? I've been a BC'er since it stopped being Bassworld. Don't think it's been around that long [/quote] Whoops - I should have written 'Bassist'. I've corrected my OP...
  18. According to the article, it's a Bass Collection SB315. And no, it's it's not me.
  19. It was awesome on Monday night. Loved it. Phil-osopher10 - I'm not sure. The Berg cab is so sensitive I've never needed to push the WA.
  20. Hi all I've been having a clear out, and I've found a stash of Bassist mags from the mid-to-late 90s. It's been a hoot reading through them - one review describes a fairly monstrous GK head as 'small' - presumably because it's only 2U high. Anyway.. each issue usually contained a [i]'My bass rig is...'[/i] column, in which a reader discusses their gear. For some reason, one particular issue - June '97 - doesn't mention the poor subject's name anywhere in the feature. Even the contents page refers to him as 'A Bassist reader'. I'm wondering whether they literally couldn't find his name and had to go to press without it. Here's his pic. Is this you? Do you know him? Let's give a bass brother the recognition he's deserved for the last 15 years.. we can do this!
  21. I don't think any of them are short of a bob or two. The O2 gig proved to me that they've still got it.
  22. [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1361274133' post='1983597'] Fantastic mate! Wot happened to your barnet? [/quote] Time. She's a cruel mistress.... :-(
  23. [left]Ah - a tour would be marvelous. This was a one-off, unfortunately...[/left]
  24. Mornin' all! That was unbelievable... the guests were amazing, and I loved every second of it. I got through it with no calamities, I'm happy to say! I used my Precision (w/flats) most of the time, and my Jazz (w/rounds) for the poppy tunes. MK was a pleasure to work with... we had him for an hour or so in the afternoon - I expected him to turn up, do the check, and leave, but he really spent time getting to know is, and making suggestions. He asked me to play on the intro to Going Home, which I hadn't learned, so I had to find a quiet corner and scribble down the chords. We had MK [i]and[/i] Ruby Turner for Try a Little Tenderness, complete with brass, and it kicked arse. Doing 'All the Time in the World' with Ben Ottewell out of Gomez, with the orchestra swirling around me will stick in my mind forever. Here's another pic I nicked off Twitter...
  25. The fix you mentioned earlier will almost certainly sort it. Common blip with the older models....
