After a lot of back issues I bought a stage stool for towards the end of gigs... It was about £80. And it was left at the Manchester Academy. someone got lucky the next night when they took it home...I presume.
-
Honestly, I still chuckle. the kid broke everything he was bought. And it was always “shoddy” or “defective workmanship”. Dad was sound, but mum was a real shitehawk. the vimto bit of his name was hilarious.
-
Bless him. He was called “Mr Toob” - we also had a nickname for other regulars. ”Nicky Vimto” was my favourite.
-
I worked in a guitar shop for years. there was a guy, and to be fair I cannot be certain he was really on earth at all times. referred to guitars as ”naughty minx” ”sultry mistress” ”dirty little biztch” and described a tube screamer pedal (pronounced TOOB) as “the g-spot for valve amps”
-
“Isn’t she a beauty?” ’nah, fcuk off mate’
-
A guitarist magazine CD since referrrd to an amp as “little rascal” or “little scamp” - I never bought it again.
-
No. Nor do I refer to cars or basses as “she”.
-
So was NAMM 2019 a damp squib for you too?

Monosynth for me too. Nothing that exciting for me... -
“HI, I’m the bass player - I’m here about that snapped g string?”
-
Mega reasonable, for the amount of creativity and work he puts in (he’s helped me with loads of stuff) - he’s a lovely bloke and we’ve gone from aquaintances to friends (well - I’d like to think, he probably calls me a cnut to anyone who’ll listen). he’s on here as @timal - but I’d assume he’s very busy 😉
-
There’s no end to the man’s talents
-
Yeah, definitely an option, will try them together at rehearsal and see which is livelier - will keep that for rounds, my gut says the white one has a brighter edge.
-
I genuinely wouldn’t use the one in BEAD, and I’ve just discovered that the passive mode works without battery...so no “I need a backup” excuse...
-
Just been playing the white 1100s. Theyre going nowhere. The 434 would have to be mind blowing love at first sight stuff to cost me either of the 1100’s.
-
Would love to compare the 434 to a p34. could end up in a big BB yard sale 🤔
-
No I use the preamp...but I’ve just bought an NOS Yamaha NE-1 eq. So they can all be active 🤔
-
I’ve got a few padded levy’s ones. Unfortunately made out of something dead. I’ll look into the other options. Debating the growing number of BB’s and. My now unused Jazz bass...what am I doing with all of these basses...think I need to seek out a BB p34 and have done with it.
-
Used too - suits my back to wear them higher though as I am prone to issues.
-
His twitter page says he’s a bass player and the tallest man in the world. he’s got quite the discography too - obviously a very busy guy.
-
I actually think the bb300 looks quite petite for a “broad bass” but yeah - he’s a big lad
-
well im 5’10 and 14 stone, so he must be 6’5 at least.
-
Yup. That’s him. ”RBTX, RTX...” ”and this bb has a six bolt neck which sounds like a neck through but still like a bolt on”
-
The guy on the only video I’ve seen had a difficult time discussing the basses, he said trbx wrong 3 times and gave really amateur explanations between differences etc. probably the drum guy roped in for video. nothing posted other than that, officially...
-
They will only be double sided on, it’s to do with my brain being used to fenders with a PG.
-
Has anyone tried a 434 yet, are they satin necks? Are they as rough feeling as the 234 I tried - felt unfinished rather than satin.
