And on hold/sold bar the hoohah...thanks for the interest folks. -
[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1462814712' post='3045923'] I've played many of these numbers in some very good bands. I think a [i]bad[/i] band is defined by [i]how[/i] they play rather than [i]what[/i] they play. [/quote] This.

Time for a bit of tidying up, so here's a Warwick Rockbass Double Gigbag - it's one of these: http://www.thomann.de/gb/rockbag_rb20611.htm Good condition, a couple of small areas of wear, but nothing at all structural. Postage to the UK included, but I might have to fold it to pack it properly...

Dingwall E string: 36 1/4" ...boom!

There's dozens who could...but where would be the cash in a more talented, more dynamic no-name replacement? Journey went the right way, they got a guy in who could do the songs real justice and went from there, but there's so little left of ACDC these days that they've propped the cash machine up with another name.

I've seen the footage, and I thought it wasn't good at all. Fat Axl sitting down, they're going through the motions. All about the money.

I have one of the first type of stands - I use it these days to make sure the guitard's combo's pointing at his head...the stage volume's far more manageable if that's the case...

I haven't encountered a cab punchier in the live mix than one of the Schroeders: the 1515L or the more common 1212L or 1210L. They're a very voiced cab, but for punch they don't get much better...I've had various BF cabs (amongst others) and I use Bergs, and that low-mid jump in the Schroeders out-punches most.

Started with a pick, learned fingers, learned a bit of slap, too, for when I absolutely have to. Like a lot of folk, all my major influences when starting out played with a pick, other than Geddy, and he sounded like he was playing with a pick anyway... I'm better with a pick, even for the stuff you might not imagine pick is good for - Bobby Vega's a particular influence - but I'll use fingers for some stuff, depending on how I'm feeling. It works out as 80-15-5 percentage-wise on most gigs...

Mentioned this before, but my custom Shuker; a gift from all my friends for my 50th, and a custom spec I got exactly right. When I go to The Great Soundcheck In The Sky, my boy's getting it. What he does with it after that is entirely his call, but I'll be passing it on to him.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1461199311' post='3032439'] Nonsense. Bass solo is as valid as any other instrument solo. It's all down to the player. [/quote] "How was that?" "It was very...valid..."

A pub I gig at now and again has reworked their menu as a tribute: The lamb koftas in a wrap are now Prince Of Persia The Southern fried chicken brioche is When Doves Fry The shared platter is Party Like It's ...£19.99 The 12oz rump steak is The Most Beautiful Grill In The World and the vegetarian special is Little Red Courgette

....and you only like Precisions with maple boards... On the other hand, that particular set of criteria means I'll never find one, and if I do it'd be so stratospherically expensive that I'd never be able to afford it...so I'm saving money all over the place...

OBBM for everything. Top quality, great fella.

Cheers Karl, yep, they're one of the really great Class D heads - tons of character. Sorry mate Oh, and happy birthday for yesterday!

This has been my main amp for a good while now, and it's outlasted lots of competition: GAS being what it is, I've had 11 other heads come in, get compared to it and get resold while this one stayed. A move to three 112 cabs and the arrival of a brand spanking new Magellan, however, means it's got to go. They're very well known here; terrific warm valvey amps (though they also do clean surprisingly well with the gain turned down), with tons of headroom and, dare I say it...heft It's boxed and unmarked, the lovely blue lights work a treat, and it's ready to go. The £375 is posted in the UK, insured and tracked. I was going to post a link to Ed Friedland's (the Bass Whisperer) review of the amp, but the linky thing's broken. It's on YouTube, though, and it's very comprehensive. SOLD to a fella who's a cornerstone of this forum...it might not take a genius to work out which one..

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1460978266' post='3030262'] Time to wheel out my usual 'Black Velvet' story. Back in the day, I was in a covers band with a lot of seasoned musos. Not having a 5-string, they insisted I tune down. 'OK' says I. At every gig and every rehearsal, I pretended to detune, and just played it at the octave. No-one ever noticed. [/quote] And that, your Honour, is why I'll never bother with a 5...it's up there with my 'No-One Noticed I Was Playing A 12-String' story...

Bass played solo is like one of those blokes you see doing a marathon in a diving suit with lead boots. Novel and laudable to a point, but ultimately a futile exercise best achieved by another means. This was no exception. Except whatever he'd played it on, it would've been terrible*. * Actually, if he'd gone for it on the euphonium, it'd would've had a fascination all its own: parping and farting out the tune whilst leaping around...yeah, I'd have watched that...
-
Karl, you were doomed when he painted it red... -
This is a fantastic cab - I had it when it was a little...poorly but it was still terrific. More open and less boxy than the 1212/1515 angled cabs, but still a Schroeder. If I wasn't midway down a completely different rig path, I'd have this back.
-
I have four these days - three until I get a new neck from Jon Shuker for my Fenderbird - one goes to every gig, and gets 80% of the use, and that's my double-P Shuker. The other two are the Dingwall and another Shuker, both of which are different enough to be a breath of fresh air, which is fun.
