If anyone has a gig booked at the Royal Oak in Blackpool - forget it. We turned up last night to be told "there's no gig tonight" because there's been a change of management and they no longer have live music on. Nobody bothered to ring and tell us and Blackpool's a round trip of 80 miles for our drummer.

We drove all the way to Blackpool last night - a round trip of 80 miles for our drummer, only to be told on arrival that there's been a change of management and there's no live music any more. C*nts.

Swiped off my tutor, It's Mexican but with a Wizard Thumper, new pots, a set of TI flats it sounds better than any P I've owned (4). A new pickguard and bridge cover were added for effect and I'm pretty well pleased with the end result. Suffice to say, it'll get many outings methinks.

I did indeed Smash - LMII / Aggie GS112 / 112 NT and it was a fine rig. I switched to the Epifani UL310 because I wanted the 'one cab solution' and at the first gig I was amazed at the difference in sound. The Epi sounded a lot punchier but a little less warm than the Aggies, more articulate too inasmuch as I could hear every single note I played. I've got an Epifani 212 NYC cab now and it's the bollox but I would be very glad to have a UL310 again - I appreciate it's not everyone's cup of tea but for me personally, it's the best cab going in terms of sound / volume / weight.

Epifani UL310 is the solution IMHO.

In my rack, I have a preamp, a poweramp and a tuner - all using separate power leads. Is there anything I can buy that would fit neatly into the back of the case, that would allow me to connect all 3 to one thingy with one power lead coming out of the back. I know an extension lead would enable this but I don't want 9ft of power leads coiled in the back of the case. Ta.

I've never come across anything that sounds like a Bongo - I have a 5HS at the moment and have owned a 4HH too. The nearest you're going to find IMO is a 'Ray.

Poor Dave - nothing's straightforward is it mate Jealous of Preston.

An extra £500 for a B string? Sheesh..

Nice basses Chris - I really enjoyed playing the green one.

I'm getting itchy fingers for another Status.[/quote] I played your Stealth 5 on Saturday Dave - never thought I'd get Status GAS but that was a lovely bass.

We're on the Sunday afternoon slot - and will no doubt have to be away prompt to let some 'fabulous boy-girl duo' set up! I'll let you knwo how we get on. Or better still - come down and see!, if you're not too far away. It would be good to have at least one friendly face there! Cheers Dave[/quote] I'll see if Cameron (Wayne 58) fancies a pint. It's an 'upstairs' gig with no lift so don't take anything too heavy! Mind you, they sometimes have bands on downstairs too I believe but they always shove us upstairs. Alan
