Theres a few transactions….just a few. Cheers Si

My E2 is still a Headrush ..... in many ways......its a Headrush E2 :-D Si

Ah the epitome of good taste! Si

Just made a couple of small edits to the above if you wanna read it again quickly Good luck Si

If you're on the covers circuit, a lot of the chain pubs and larger places will only book through agents, and its strictly covers. Obviously for pubs booking entertainment themselves its a different ballgame, so ask them directly. With regards to original music, most venues will either have inhouse promotions, or will have a number of promoters in the area that put events on there. So take the Barfly in Camden for example, as far as i know, it (or any barflys) doesn't have inhouse promotions, they deal with external promoters. One example who put nights on at the Camden Barfly is 'KBY Rocks', affiliated with Rocksound magazine. I've played a loada gigs with them, and they're great. Note that this is Original Music only!! Just look up promotion companies on Myspace!!! Si p.s. oh and usually, i would suggest that all promoters of live entertainment will want to hear a recording of you, unless perhaps if you get recommended by someone else, but even then it wouldn't surprise me if they asked for a recording

Ah ok, fair enough. Cheers lol Si

Ummmmm yeah.... ..... whats the difference? Cheers Si

[size=3]tihS man, sorry to hear that! I'm sure everyone will keep they're eyes peeled![/size].......................[size=1]thats a gross saying!![/size] Si

Its not that I'm not persevering with the fretless My Shuker EUB takes care of that! Its my project P-bass and i fancy it being fretted now, its been fretless for a good 5 years, so deserves a change. Si

I have the Headrush E2, great fun What i would say about using it in a band context is make sure that the Drummer can hear the loop loud and clear so he can stay in time with it. The Akai has a tiny tiny time glitch when it reloops round, which basically means if you were to play along with a drum machine (which has perfect time), it would go out of time pretty quickly. It isn't like the newer midi loopers that can quantise the loops. I just use mine for solo playing, which works fine because you're just looping with yourself, nothing to go out of time with. Si

Just give Mike over at The Bass Merchant in Witham, Essex a ring. Nice guys, Mike did all the electronics work/modding on my Thingray, and thats awesome! I've never tried a Zoot but i hear good things, if the preamp is anything like the one he put in my bass, then it sounds fantastic Si p.s. I to have no affiliation to Zoot or the Bass merchant other then I've had some work done there.............and i used to live in essex

1 Main Bass, 2 for FSOF 1 Spare Bass regardless 1 Amp Head 1 Cab for smaller venues, 2 for larger venues or FSOF gigs 1 Boss TU-2 Tuner 1 Aphex Compressor DI box which i use, but could also double as a backup to my head as i always go through the PA 1 Set spare strings Tools, Fuses, Batteries etc 1 Set of ear plugs 1 Spare set of plugs Thats about it i think Si

Who cares, we're not there to be on camera, we're there to play bass! In any case, its about performance!! Most of those bass players were session guys who don't move around much, or Indie bass players who...........don't move around much. You take the guys who are fun to watch....flea as a random example, they're on camera all the time. Si

I would never attempt it myself, absolutely no woodwork/craft skills at all, and accepted that a long time ago lol Thanks for the links though. Si

I've got a fretless neck on my project bass, and i want a fretted neck on it Would it be cheaper to get a replacement neck, or have someone refret it!? Any ideas? Cheers Si

All kept in cases in the living room on account of them going out to gigs 4 times a week :-D. Ones always in me room though, gotta play! Si

So if any companies want to endorse me, i have about 55 gigs left this year to come and see me at hahahaha: Fender Ashdown Newtone Do it! :-D My friend has a warwick amp deal, he plays for steve harley and tours all over the europe etc, and he doesn't get stuff for free, heavily discounted though. Nice one though, if i'd known u were at LGS nate i woulda come said Hi. Let us know when you have a band gig! Si

Perhaps on the Deluxe i guess But my Standard USA, although 2nd hand, was absolutely mint when i got it, someone can't wear down the saddle screws that quick surely!? Well i've emailed Fender UK, so awaiting an opinion from them Si

I've used an ME-50B for the last year or so, although I've just stopped using it in a band setting as I've just got a standalone compressor. The Compressors in the ME-50B are great btw Yeah the FX are cool! I assume that most of the technology is based on the single pedals anyway, so its going to sound good. The tuner is my only real gripe, again the technology is probably the same as the TU-2, but its got less LED's, and so therefore is less accurate. I only really used it as an analog pedal, thats how its layed out, but it does have digital elements such as saving patch settings etc. But i have no time for that haha, much prefer my analogue stuff. And so if you need different FX during or between songs you need to physically bend down and turn the knobs or, like was mentioned above, get a latching footswitch. And you would need to program the settings for each effect to be remembered. However, if you literally only have 2 or 3 sounds for the band, that don't vary, then its perfect!! I use mine just for solo playing now. If i was giving it a score, i'd go for a 7/10 Cool Si

Its just a bit weird, that a couple of guys above said that a 1/16" should fit, but it doesn't on both basses. Do fender have their own sizes? Probably just email Fender UK in a sec Cheers Si

So i went out and bought a 5/64 allen key (19p lol).............to big!! Which means, on an imperial set the 1/16 is to small and the size above it, said 5/64, is to big!!! I asked the guy in the hardware shop what 1.4x40 meant, and he didn't know lol In the Immortal words of Timmy "Please help me!!!.........GOBBLES" Si
