Low End Bee

Maybe I'll just buy a couple of humbuckers and attack my Precision with the chisel?

Friday is approaching like a runaway Lada. Could really do with a bit of support. We've never played in town this far before. We're worried bigger boys might steal our dinner money. Be nice to see some BC'ers. I'd love some sort of crowd to play too! We're on first at 8:30 so you can easily get that train, bus, Learjet home.

I really like that silver Blacktop (?) Precision. Since I got my Retrovibe I've been thinking how nice a Precision with those pickups would be for me. Shame I'm skint at the moment

I've been banging on about the [url="http://www.thelenprice3.co.uk/"]Len Price 3[/url] and how bleeding amazing they are live and now we're going to be sharing a gig with them. At my favourite venue too. Friday 14th October - The Len Price 3 plus the Jetsonics at the Half Moon, Putney. Another action packed trio called the Past Tense will be opening the night too. incredibly excited by this gig. I'd pay to watch it!

Glad it was a good one. Shame that man flu got in the way for me

We've agreed to split everything equally. The drummer doesn't write lyrics or tunes but he can radically alter or make better a song by what he plays. I can't write drums. Did Weller write Foxton's bassline on Down In the Tube Station? I bet he didn't. But he did write the 'song' and take the extra cash. Hmmm.

Classic Rock (shudders), Blues Rock (feels ill) Happy with - Garage Rock Power Pop Punk with a smidgeon of Dub and Glam Rock though.

Super original 3 minute rock anthems.

Played my local on Saturday. Very odd. Stuck behind a pillar that cut off the view. Did OK but it was hard to work the crowd like usual from behind it. Kind of like playing musical hide and seek. New songs went down well which is pleasing. Happy Jack informs me that the D&G strings weren't cutting through as much as the E&A on the Precision so it was out with the screwdriver yesterday. No problems second set with the Rerovibe. Two bassesin one gig. I'm almost Adam Clayton... Pub gigs are fun and the money's handy for band funds but I'm really looking forward to playing for 45 minutes on a proper stage again on the 8th July. Two sets is hard work with originals in a boozer.

It's tomorrow....

I have a 250W head to me that'd mean I could push it all the way[/quote] When we played with the Members last time Chris very kindly tested the cab by pushing the Terror through it at way past any level I've done before. It came through without a problem. I'm sure it could take 250 watts.

My 2007 Precision is a better sounding and playing bass than the 1968 I had. I don't buy the vintage is better thing. I've played lots of old ones. I've played lots of new ones. There's not much in it for me, Some old ones are better than some new ones and vice versa. (Runs off to Anderson Shelter...)

Join the club

I use my Terror through an RS210. Doesn't sound HiFi at all. Tweeter off of course. If I want a bit more oomph (just showing off really) I stick my RS112 underneath it too. I'm very pleased with the match up. The SP210 that I tried at the time was nice too. I just preferred the TC cab.

Out of curiosity which service did you take it to? BasherT P.S. When's the next gig? I may have to come along![/quote] I go to Chandler's in Kew. Reassuringly expensive...... Andrew was the guy who did it. Next gig is this Saturday [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141223"]Stadium gig[/url]

Waiting for Happy Jack's post about Saturday's gig with the tanked up post Ascot ladies who got up on stage at a couple of points. One of them did release the puppies by mistake while dancing at the front later on but I think she had her back to the band. Most entertaining.

[quote name='silddx' post='1273983' date='Jun 18 2011, 06:21 PM']Interesting this. I had a dead G about six weeks ago. Emailed them and they haven't got back yet.[/quote] I had a dead G in a pack of DR Black Beauties a couple of sets back that I got from String Busters. I emailed them at 3pm. I got a phone call from them at 3:30pm. I had a new G string (oo err) in the next mornings post. I don't mind paying a bit extra and not importing them because of that sort of service.

Excellent entertainment HJ. My road manager got very excited when you played one of his favourite songs ever. I even forgive you for the jazz bassy thing with the boat race headstock. It sounded great. As did the front spoiler from KITT.
