Very nice. I went through phase of trying several Class D heads, TC RH450 & 750, Aguilar TH500, GB Shuttle 9.2, Darkglass M900 and the GK MB Fusion. I kept the GK way longer than I kept any of the others. To my (admittedly cloth) ears, GK amps have a really good core tone. I only changed it as I fancied going back to something heavyweight while I still could. Congrats on the new amp!

Rival Sons at Cardiff uni on Monday. Looking forward to it. Saw them in Bristol at the o2 Academy and they were excellent

My wife’s cousin had the privilege of supporting Skunk Anansie on tour a few years ago. He’’s a bassist too, and said that Cass used to watch their soundcheck search night. I remember him saying that doing his line check and the bands soundcheck with a player as high calibre as Cass Lewis watching from the side of the stage used to terrify him. He did also echo what many others have said already in this thread, that Cass is a very friendly guy who seems to have time for everyone. He also said that standing 15ft from Cass’ bass rig while listening to him soundcheck on the first night of the tour nearly made him do a sex wee! As he put it “monster player, with a monster tone”

If we’re getting their looks and equipment, can I change my answer to John Taylor. That way, I’d be fighting off groupies with a sh*tty stick AND I’d own Bernard Edwards’ old Stingray! Win win! 😂

My choices are a bit mainstream, but I would’ve loved Bruce Foxtons job in The Jam. So many great bass lines in those songs. My other choice would be David Lee Roths Eat ‘em and Smile tour, for the chance to play with musicians of the calibre of Steve Vai and Greg Bisonette each night

No apology necessary, and same as yourself, not something I’d ever really thought I’d see.

I’m not pushing the product, I have zero affiliation to the product or it’s makers. It was just a product I saw, that I’d never seen before, something I found to be a bit quirky. So I thought I’d post it here to see if anyone else had ever seen anything of the same ilk.

The explanation of who the product seems to be aimed at, is up there ☝️ 😊

Sounds like it would be ideal for him then

In the demo clip, I think they’re aiming it at guitarists who want the guitar hanging lower if they’re bashing out chords, but can raise it up for more technical stuff

I never even knew such a thing existed, or that there was even a market for it. The video clip I saw of it earlier, there’s a guy using two of them to make a swing, so it must be fairly sturdy. It does seem to be aimed more at guitarists

Did that happen while using one of these gadgets??

Keep seeing ads for this gadget coming up on various FB musicians groups/pages. Basically a gadget for instantly adjusting the length of your guitar strap. Who knew such a thing existed! https://dropstrap.com/collections/artists

Along with “what colour hair scrunchie works best as a mute?” 😀

I certainly didn’t expect a 2.5hr set, hats off to him. Really nice to see Dave Grohl back on a stage too. Really enjoyed the set, and I just love the energy of his drummer.

Nice array of cabs behind Macca!

Enjoyed Skunk Anansie, Skin looks like she hasn’t aged at all! Cass Lewis’ bass rig is enormous

Anyone watched TLC’s set? Is that Jamareo Artis on bass? Pretty sure the guitarist is the guy that played the live lounge with Rag n Bone man, he gets a killer tone from that Kemper!

Just watching the crowded house set, I really like Nick Seymours playing and there’s something very satisfying about seeing a DB751 and 8x10 on stage

That does sound really nice.

I agree that pick-up placement is key to his live sound, it just sounds so right for him

I thought you could buy that version, with the MM pickup?

Still seems strange, seeing a RHCP stage set without a couple of GK stacks behind him!

Look up some private parking companies. I did it when I went to a gig at the o2 and got a space in a secure office building car park, all weekend for £25. They basically use the car parks of offices etc that don’t normally get used on weekends.
