annoying for sure but I replaced the 2 valves on mine with something IMO, better anyway, so at least they helped you out there!

so you only brought 2 basses then?

whoa!

Interesting that it’s 2 hours max exposure for 90db, that’s our set length and that’s the level one of the landlords measures us by, but yeah I was seriously thinking about going back to IME’s, more for clarity than anything else, I still struggle to hear my bass clearly even with the ampeg rig behind me, having only one good working ear is a risk too far I know to risk loosing

Blimey Phil, I use I 310Art and its way too puny for me, Im thinking of upgrading to the 315mk 4, think I need new ears!

I was there in spirit if not body!

I set my LMB-3 at everything on 12 o clock, maybe the level at 1 o clock if the guitarist and drummer get a bit cheeky on the volume, the difference with it off or on in a band mix is so subtle as to be not really necessary IMO but it does smooth out my spikes in volume but still allows me to play quietly during those moments its necessary.

I had a strong urge to stick that 18 string up where the sun don't shine...my baaaaad!

well thats wee wee on my chips!

isn't this now sold out?

I've tried guitar multi effects pedals in the past and found them a bit thin on bass TBH, I think you would be better getting one actually made for bass such as a zoom (which I have and have been very impressed with). The dedicated bass pedals are much easier to get a decent tone straight out of the box, the zoom has some great bass amp and cab simulators already pre loaded such as Ampeg SVT, Fender Bassman, SWR, Trace Elliot and Aguilar 750 and all the compressors, Drives etc are designed specifically for the low end and at £130 its cheaper than the boss.

quick update, Im very impressed with the fretless effect, quite convincing

encapsulates exactly what tasteful bass playing is

fair enough caveat emptor or something!

we've played a few biker nights at the clubhouses (and I'm talking 1%'er clubs). Everyone is over 50 and injured! They don't/can't jump around but they appreciate the music and they pay well and our vans are always secure in the compound!

that's cheap at half the price, result!

got a pretty decent feedback for the amount of gear he sells...

phew, I thought it was just me!

yep correctly coiling upwards of 30 cables (PA and backline, mics ecs, lights etc) is a non starter at 1am. I know im going to get shot here but but I put mine togeather by grabbing both ends, halving the length, halving again and then tying a very loose knot in the middle, that way they don't get all tangled up in a box of leads, can be extracted easily and if good quality last for years. Weirdly the guitarist who only "correctly" coils 2 of his precious leads is constantly breaking them, then nicks mine!

perhaps time to try out a full fat valve amp just for once to say been there, done that??

Currently using some DR Lowriders, great but starting to go a little flat, heard the NYXL strings last a whole lot longer? We shall see!

jezzuus imagine the smell on the tour bus...

not yet...... not yet......

Played a really weird bar in Teignmouth, actually the basement room of a dodgy hotel, the landlady is a real eccentric, used to be a high ranking barrister in London, now a bit of an aggressive p1sshead. Only people who listen to us are her, the barman with no teeth and her "boyfriend", a real chancer who sat with a large albino lizard on his head (really). She got arrested the following week for trying to set a former (disgruntled) employees house on fire, the Hotel is now closed. https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/teignmouth-hotelier-dubbed-female-basil-862735#
