Yup, clearly the best when i tried a few out too. Good choice

That's what i would recommend

I use a LMII. Started with a LMII about 7 years ago. Went on the 'ole merry go round of equipment, and realised about 3 years ago that i was just chasing the MarkBass sound id previously had. So bought a LMII for ridiculously cheap, and have used it happily ever since. It is a warm, sound when set flat, but you can make it a bit more aggressive and percussive with the filters without any problem. I also have a Sansamp that pairs beautifully with it. That said, if i was in a band like yours (I'm not, i play motown/soul/disco), i'd probably opt for the GK. Lots of good gear out there right now. Just find the flavor that suits you

Outrageous. I want one

Mel B from the Spice Girls. Her rap in "If you wanna be my lover" was top banana.

How about a "Lets build it together" thread next? Anyone who's interested can join in, we all get the raw parts we need, and try and build our own basses en masse

That's a great shout Howie! Class work again Andy.

Class mate. Love that song about the Yellow Walrus

I'm all for discussion, and sharing opinions/ideas. Didn't mean that. It's the people that seem to be getting upset and worked up because someones opinions doesn't match theirs.

It's funny to me how people are getting so worked up because of other peoples opinions. Chill out! We don't all like the same thing. The world goes on! If someone else dislikes something you do like, it shouldn't diminish your enjoyment. There is no "right" or "wrong", just opinion.

Same I listened to Nevermind and Bleach on repeat for about 4 months. Green day(with Dookie) and Blink 182 (Dude ranch) close runner ups!

£300 each. 2 X 1 hour sets Helps that the owner of the pub saw us at a wedding 3 years ago and loved us. We don't play too many pubs, so i'm actually really looking forward to it. Much better than what i'd otherwise be doing on NYE (absolutely nothing)

Depends on the genre you play, but for what we play, he has to "hit the one" as JB used to say

The black Wal with gold hardware .....

Whatever works best for what i'm playing. Im not either/or

Ive been playing live for 17 years. Worst i've had is a dodgy cable, and a battery that needed replacing. Never had a issue with amps breaking or speakers blowing etc. I don't recall ever breaking a string either?

Dont know if it's exciting, but this song from Thrice gets me pumped up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tghjkKiSCz4 I have a whole playlist of this type of music, that i do enjoy, but otherwise don't listen to. SOIL , Disturbed, 5 finger death punch, SlickShoes, BFMV etc Sorry, i don't know how to embed the video. Remove the "s"? Something like that?

I was asked today to play in the Black Jam Circus, but i'm too busy with my band. I have no affiliation with the band, but looking at their stuff, they seem like a really good band, so i said i'd post on here to advertise the position. Here's the bands Facebook so you can see what they're all about: https://www.facebook.com/blackjamcircus/ If your in South Wales, and this seems like something that would interests you, let me know and i can put you in contact. Cheers

We were hesitant about it, but for a relatively small investment, we booked 6 weddings from our last fayre. One thing i would say, is to check if you can have a full band (some have let us, some only allow acoustic). Then, if you can have a full band, we try to let everyone know (other stalls and guests) when we will be performing. We usually say we will perform 3 songs on the hour. Worked for us anyway

Love it. Really unique.

If its weddings you are looking for, what about wedding fayres? They have been really good for us in the past

Love it! Out of interest, what price did that come out at?
