  1. I suspect you're thinking of the Roger Waters signature models.
  2. My Cobra was black and green. We also had a Cobra (keyboard) amp which was black and orange
  3. If I can find some verniers I shall measure mine when I get home. I have 2 Warmoth jazz necks ( both slim taper profile ) which are very similar I also have a Status jazz neck which feels slightly thicker than my EBMM Sterling
  4. You say intonation is good, at which fret? How far up the neck do you have to go before it's in tune?
  5. The amp I had before the Tecamp Puma900 was a Genz Benz Shuttle9.2 - it was stolen in a burglary in 2015 :(.....I prefer the Puma personally - but it's a very close thing. The Taste knob is the clincher. I use it with a Barefaced Supermidget (rehearsal) and a Barefaced S12T (gigs)
  6. Still got it. Still use it but haven't for last two gigs (festivals in Spain and NL - used backline provided.) Still use it for every rehearsal. If I had to replace it I'd probably get an Eich 900 as it's basically the same amp, designed by the same person.
  7. The round sound twang lasts just like rounds (ie not that long) but the flat thump lasts for years. I put d'Addario half rounds on my black Status necked bass for our 2016 trip to USA - they're still on it and the bass still sounds OK but has lost that new string twang.
  8. DOUBLE POST - SORRY
  9. d'Addario half rounds feel like flats but sound like rounds.
  10. I need an All Of The Above option and a few more besides. Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3WPQHDN5VniDY6JBGUV7UQ Tidal: https://tidal.com/browse/artist/3605575 Amazon: https://music.amazon.co.uk/artists/B001GOO9NI/sad-lovers-and-giants Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/sad-lovers-giants/200905696 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/en/artist/1693114 Quobuz: https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/interpreter/sad-lovers-giants/814381 As for listening I don't use a streaming service.
  11. I know that feeling - one of my bandmates is 1/3 of Above & Beyond who are still big on the EDM scene. We don't gig as much as we should because of his commitment to that project. I can't say i blame him as it has made him into a multi millionaire whereas we only get a few hundred in streaming royalties every few months.
  12. L & XL are definitely the sellers in UK, USA, NL and Germany but in Spain and Italy we sell mostly M - I think they are generally smaller in the Med.
  13. We released our last album on CD and vinyl as well as digitally on all the platforms. (2018) The CD has sold out a couple of times (only 1000 per print run, I believe) - I'm not sure if we'll print any more as we're releasing a new album soon. The vinyl still has probably 200 copies left from an initial pressing of 500 - they're slow moving. - I gave 10 copies to Black Circle Records in Leighton Buzzard in an effort to move them. 2 years later he rang me asking to come and get them as they were taking up rack space and he couldn't sell them. I think the next album will definitely be available on CD. I'm not sure if we'll bother with vinyl, which I feel is a shame. By way of contrast, on Spotify, we currently have 128,914 monthly listeners!! and our top streamed track has 8,742,077 plays
  14. Almost all my gigs are fly aways in various EU countries. I always check my bass into the hold in a SKB iSeries case. If you travel with your instrument as baggage then no ATA carnet is required. If your instrument travels unaccompanied, as freight, then an ATA carnet is required.
  15. We always do part of our soundcheck with the PA off. This gives us a better idea of what the onstage mix is like as there isn't sound bouncing off the walls of the emptyish auditorium.
  16. Looking at the itinerary for our next gig in Rotterdam on 18th may we have 2 hours scheduled for load in and soundcheck. I can't imagine ever doing a gig with just a linecheck but then I suppose I'm playing a different kind of venue.
  17. Headlining - It's in Rotterdam https://www.rotterdam.info/en/visit/finder-events/wavefest-xii-sad-lovers-giants-la-bande-son-imaginaire-more
  18. Do you count Squier and Epiphone as cheap copiers? Where would you draw the line?
  19. By lightweight flightcase I mean something akin to the SKB iSeries - Almost all my gigs are fly aways - SKB iSeries cases are much lighter than my traditional plywood and metal angle flightcases (and have wheels as a bonus) - this is important for airline baggage allowances. I use an SKB iSeries for my EBMM Sterling and my Precisions - I believe they're not wide enough for a Schecter Corsair bass.
  20. I quite fancy a Schecter Corsair bass but my inability to find a suitable proper lightweight flightcase that would fit it put me off. Even Schecter couldn't point me in the right direction.
  21. The blurb describes it as a 6 string
  22. In my opinion ANY backing track is too much. We don't even use a click live.
  23. I had a Kay Pbass - I blame it for my current back problems. 45 years later my back has still not recovered. Mine went to the council tip.
