PTB

I remember one my first live music experiences. The band entered in darkness, played the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 countdown from Thunderbirds & immediately launched into some high energy punky anthem. Brilliant.....but I was 14!

How about The New Mastersounds?

As Dave Swift's job has gone, I would enjoy doing Will Lee's gig on the Letterman show. A wide variety of artists to play with & sensible working hours - sounds perfect to me.

Just conducted a textbook deal with Chris. The amp was exactly as described and communications were swift. Sadly, I was unable to sample his famous hospitality or ogle his bass collection as I had a nipper with me but I can recommend him as a fine member of the BC community.

I thought your VPF might be set high. It can sound good by itself like that but as the others have said, it doesn't work in a band situation. Let us know if the advice above doesn't fix it.

I have not experienced this with my MarkBass & Music Man gear. I much prefer it to TE & Ampegs sound wise. How are you setting the amp eq & filters?

Thanks for posting Clarky. Mrs PTB is a huge Darrell Scott fan so we'll definitely be there.

Great sound, tasteful playing.

Would love to be there Clarky but it's my daughter's 18th. I will keep my eye open for future dates. Hope it goes well!

Dan bought my amp in a very smooth, quick transaction with clear communications. Deal with him in confidence.

The tweeter on the cab is adjustable, the one on the combo isn't. I have no issues with the tweeter but have heard of one DB player who had it disconnected. Never heard of a bass guitarist who disliked it but they may exist. You are welcome to have a go on mine if you are local - I am on the phone so can't see your location.

Another fan here. I keep going back to the Sharon Jones & Eli Paperboy Reed episodes.

I have the same rig as Lozz but mostly use it for double bass. I can confirm that the combo is fine alone in a band context so long as your band mates are not driving 4x12s. In my band, with Vibroverb & Bassman combos, it's fine. Having said that, after owning just the combo for over 3 years, I added the NY121 cab last summer & wished I'd done it earlier. I find you just get more of everything rather than more low & it's somehow easier to fill the room without having the stage volume too loud.

I'm awaiting this from Amazon and have read this thread with a sense of disappointment. I've enjoyed a lot of RT's work and Buddy Miller's other productions so will reserve judgement until I have heard it.

Glad it went well WoT, I've enjoyed following this thread.

I recently bought a Squier Jazz from Stef for a friend. Easy deal with good comms and a pleasant meet-up in Brighton. Thanks Stef!

Who's sorry now? Perhaps not......

I double with a MarkBass CMP121P combo & 1x12 cab & I get plenty of compliments on my sound even if not my playing.

[quote name='bluesparky' timestamp='1359634803' post='1957909'] Sorry to go off-topic - I have only used garage band to do ringtones for my phone and nothing more. if it's a cut down version of Logic, is it possible to use it as a notation program? i.e. for manual input of transcriptions? or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks [/quote] Sorry, I do not know whether you can use it for notation. It does what I want it to do! Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable about these things will be along soon.

Imitation is the sincerest form of larceny.
