Quality.....

Our bleedin drummer worships you guys,,, mind you,,,, he does hit things for a living lol... Will pop round the Green Tree later and get crates,,,, what colour you want?

its an old one but a goody......... My dad got caught with his fingers in a bacon slicer,,,,,,,,,, she got the sack after that..... Hope it heals quick

Thinking outside the box here,,, Why dont you just get a beer crate!!! Of course if you were really dedicated you could always have your legs chopped off,,, problem sorted.... (Just had a quiz question on who wants to be a millionaire on my phone,,, nearly dan is a tribute to which famous band,,,,,cool huh!!)

Not soul,,, however ,,,we used to do a stripped out acoustic version of "message in a bottle" which used to go a storm..

MMMMM,,,,,, thats lovely.... Id really like one of those......

Bass wise,, selling my original SWR redhead,,,,,,,,, TOOL.........

Re Doncaster Area,,, unless Ive missed a trick Music Ground shut in Donny donkeys years ago Cant fault Dave and the Electromusic boys tho,,, always been exellent in my experiance..

Yellowbelly Bash,,,,, Oh yes,,,, thats got a ring to it.....bring it on...

A professional quality Tuba will set you back 5k.[/quote] Yeah,, agree with ya..its relative.. My Golden Strad Double Bass sounds ace and I just paid £50 for it from a clearout in Grimsby! But a quality electric bass you can get for £500 ,,all day long.

Heres My SRX705 earning its keep... Its a previous band,, but still love it..... would love my old black musician back tho...

Its too much for a Bass,,, But check out how much some folk spend on extras on cars,,, friggin thousands for sports packs, upgrades etc,,, must be 100 top end cars in this village alone,,and to boot,,, gigging over xmas with the snow,, its was all the expensive cars which seemed to get stuck... I guess some people just have cash to blow on what they are into..,, this would cater for that crowd...

Somewhere I've got the photos to prove it, when I can dig them out I'll put them up here.[/quote] Would love to see that pic!!! Mine was Hondo P bass,, through a HH 100watt Pa head into a 15"cab... no-one complained at the time!!

If you liked the Ray,, try an SRX 705,,, tis a powerfull beast... love mine.

Wants,,,,,thats a beaut...... Bargain,,,,

Worth replacing that pre-amp tube anyway.....fairly cheap an easy,,, might make a world of difference!!

Great Thread,,,,, [url="http://www.edroman.com/guitars/rockstarowned.htm"]http://www.edroman.com/guitars/rockstarowned.htm[/url] Just found this,,, not many basses tho.....

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='721434' date='Jan 22 2010, 05:37 PM']I'd just go with the collective text message method...[/quote] I agree with that also,,, Although true and funny story, the bassist in one of the well known bands round ere,, threw his Thunderbird at the drummer and walked out mid - gig.... Still being talked about to this day..... ten min later to an awkward silence he walked back in,,, picked up his Bass and left for good......

Totally agree with Doddy on this one..good post.. Typical set -up, is an agent wishes to showcase bands to a group of influential bookers,,, books a large venue,,somewhere like Batley Variety,, lays on maybe up to 12 up to 15 bands in one day ,, all have to provide own gear including backline and lights to show they are "self contained" Its usually chaos !! six bands or so setting up for morning session, quickly soundchecking,, then morning session begins,, all getting maybe 20 mins (beware timing on these things are tight,and going over your slot is bad form) if lucky it will have a compere who will give a brief overvue of what you are about. Someone will always be late and delay procedings - this adds to the chaos ! After morning session is over,,all bands de-rig and get out ASAP,, afternoon bands turn up,, everyone trying to get in and out,,they soundcheck,, afternoon session etc... It can be long day and dont expect feedback on the day.. apart from quick hello,,thanks,, goodbye.. Saying that,,,,, the agent should write or mail you with details, on time to arrive,, what to bring and expect in advance.. Just treat it as a mini gig.. plus yours might be different to the above !! It might come to nothing,, which in itself is good experiance,, however last one I went to , ended up with great work, and a good write up in Stage magazine..(if interested will find you a link) let us know how you got on !! hope it goes well...

Learned this one from me ol guitard... If changing up a semi tone or tone,, leave your left hand where it is,and smack the arse end of the bass with your right hand , moving the guitar rather than your hand,,,,,

[quote name='EmaTheMirror' post='704497' date='Jan 7 2010, 05:44 PM']... sounds like a catchy interesting beginning, I'd say I'm surprised to read that you were all satisfied by their loudness... I've often had problems about tone definition in the mix with TE and SWR, due to their scooped sound[/quote] The power is in the mids lol,, Gigged both these for years,, now have huge Peavey rig,,, but only because someone wound the knobs off the SWR in a jamming session an blew a driver,,, and even after twice replacing the speakers it never sounded the same.. The Trace sounded awesome,,,, but have played thru one recently at a great gig at Scarborough which was a 1 x15 with backline supplied and TBH it sounded a bit clicky with my current bass (Ibanez srx705),, but that was my eq if honest... Cant comment on the new ones.. Would have my ol Trace back in an instant,,,,, provided the drivers were original......an re the Hotel,,,mmm,, better not lol That a Golden Strad DB on your myspace EMA??

I bought one of the 4x10 300w combos when Electro bought a poo load of them,, It was pretty versatile and the DI section was good also,, used an 80,s Ibanez Musician and had a great sound,, However when upgraded to a new Warwick Streamer,, one of the first one pick/up models, and used one of the preshape EQs ended up with a KILLER sound,, in pubs would shake your internals, and had compliments almost every gig... since then had SWR Redhead,,, also pretty awesome, but still miss that bright punch which took no effort at all,,, Sold the bugger to pay for a night in a hotel,,,Long long story.........

Underated,, who was the guy out the Boomtown Rats,,,,, great sound and great bass lines... Overated,,Nah,,,,Its not a competition,, respect to all.......
