We did the Gunthorpe one last year and I have to say that the Sound Crew, given the 15 minute turn arounds and diversity of the bands who were playing the date, were nothing short of brilliant and a pleasure to work with. Apologies for kidnapping the thread!! [/quote] No worries from me,,,,agree about how good some of these guys are,,,,, the Butlins crews are bloody first class !!

Nope,,, not us that one.... The guy that runs the fake festivals seems a top bloke,,, but venues are booking so far in advance are we usually miss out cos were booked,, ,, was just hoping someone else was playing so we could have a "basschat"

[url="http://blondieuk.com/"]http://blondieuk.com/[/url] Dude this is our outfit.... went for nealy ten years as "heart of glass" but re-badged with a couple of new members etc... Luckily the singer and drummer are the same cos they really shine ..

Cor,, come off it guvnor,,,,,have to earn a crust dont I ?? seriously tho,,,the two vip jacuzzis swung it for me !

Daft head......

[quote name='Ian Savage' post='918477' date='Aug 8 2010, 12:15 AM']My intial thought is that they must have a hell of a vocalist! Yeah, as previous posters have said, get as close as you can to everything, but do your homework most on the ones that have definite endings on record so that you can some spend rehearsal time nailing the ends of fade-out songs. I find that usually someone's got to give a signal that the last four bars/two bars/bar/end is coming, and it's usually the singer or the drummer, so work those out early in rehearsal and make a note on the setlist...[/quote] Hey yeah,, thought the same,,,,especially if he/she is sticking to all the original keys,,, looks a good set tho,,,the ol flea bassline "in you oughta know" is great fun to play......

Played a Warners Hotel last night in Sommersett,,, great night ,,,, drove down from Hull, did the gig,, and drove home again......long bloody way... Why oh why are agents struggling to double up these days??

[url="http://www.tribfest.co.uk/"]http://www.tribfest.co.uk/[/url] Looks fun....

Unsure of the exact model,, (sonic2, perhaps) I had,, looked identical to this tho and 300w,,,, used it with a marshal cab and it was sweet,,,,, kicked ass in fact,,, The Warwick blog says it can cover a loud drummer,,, so dunno if you have a problem somewhere??

Order placed,,,, cheers guys,,,, exellent service and highly recommended.....

Ive snogged Barbra Windsor !!!!!

Another thumbs up for an Ashdown response,,,, My trusty amp died and was going the "oh well Ill buy am ampeg route,,,," then shock horror!! plastic input sockets on a 1K amp !!! shocked.... Im chuffed and very impressed with the Ashdown products,, I now have two !!,, the LB is on my shopping list !!

Looks great,,,,bargain.......

Cheers guys,,, had long day picking up her replacement,,, however will keep you posted....thanks.

One of my favorite pieces of kit is the Peavey Firebass,, this one has done countless gigs,, however it had a hic-cup a couple of months ago,, cleaned it out,,, pretty dusty,, and it behaved fine for a month or so,,,,, then one fatefull gig,, she just refused to power up,,, and bizzarly dosnt have the obvious fuse to check !! Any ideas guys?? obviously prepared to have her professionally repaired,, just curious to get your views ,opinions.....she has been officially retired from "the road"

Thats good to know wazoo,,,, its an awesome looking beast,, and screams quality to me. I saw Uncle Albert play live a couple of years ago,, and on the guitar version he seemed to have a lot of neck dive and was constantly re-adjusting his guitar,, thought at the time they may have balance issues... Its a bloody fantastic looking thing,,,, awesome.....

Oh Pants,,, let us know,,, will give fair price for the power supply..left mine in somersett,,, doh...

That Sir,, Is a Beautifull Bass.......

Yeah,, cheers ...Im on the case...

TBH,, I kinda like the bass synth on these,,,, could be a pre set problem,,, would go for a master re-set and see how it goes...(lost my power supply,,, so If it is pooped,,, flog us it !!)
