Killer lineup indeed! Pity you can't make it!! I'll have a solo for you( if it's allowed)....:-)

Thought I'd make you bassists jealous! With my band too! We got a great rhythm section lined up with authentic guys for this music/show. Richard Bailey - Drums (Jeff Beck, Incognito, Steve Winwood....) Tim Cansfield - Guitar (Bee Gees, Chris DeBurg, ABC, Heaven 17...) Feliz Ruiz - Keys (Gregory Isaacs, Andy Narell...) and me Michael C. Ruiz - Bass (anybody!!) I'm also endorsing and using East UK stuff ([url="http://www.east-uk.com"]http://www.east-uk.com[/url]), A.C. Guitars ([url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/News"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/News[/url]) hoping to have my new bass from them soon!, and a new cab from Dave Perry at ([url="http://www.extendedaudiodesign.co.uk"]http://www.extendedaudiodesign.co.uk[/url]) gig info: [url="http://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/leisure-culture/arts-culture/global-street-beats/"]http://www.aylesbury...l-street-beats/[/url] Hope to see you there MCR ps: times corrected.....

I've beeen using John East's STMP 01,'Stomp box' as a pre-amp with my double basses and I've had great results. It was not designed for this use (I guess) but...as long as it works. I usually use this as my D.I. with electric basses anyway so it was a good investment. I also use his MPB 01 'piezo -pre', blending my Realist and Underwood. Brilliant combination (Stomp and this) and I've had positive comments of my 'acoustic' sound. Whatever your choice of pickups use your ears!! My advice..talk to John. Right in our back-yard with some world class stuff. I go to John, first, to solve or at least advise with my audio stuff and I must admit even with my double bass issues.....

Clever!

Much thanks to those that looked. More please!

Gentlemen, My car was stolen in Hampstead and all my gear including my beloved Sadowsky 5 string bass was in the car. I hvae been mourning for a few years now and by coincidence did a gig with a guitar player who had a similar incident. He had a positive result years later as someone spotted his stolen guitar and he got it back (after proving it was his etc...). It led me to believe that it is possible to see my bass again....... Here then is a couple of photos and a brief description. (some parts had been changed after this photo so I'll list some...) If you have seen it, or been offered I will be grateful and even offer a small reward towards getting it back. (even if you have a small suspicion, please get in touch.)
