As stated above, depends on whether or not you have the lightshow to warrant using 'smoke' or similar. If you want to accentuate lasers/LED/Par cans and maximise their effect a hazer is the way to go IMO. The mere fact you can 'fool' the average landlord or club committee when they see the small black box chuffing at the back of the stage by telling them it's not a smoke machine but a hazer is a big plus point [size=4]If you have a DMX controlled hazer they have both an output (to control the amount of mist) and a fan (to control the speed it is propelled from the machine)[/size] [size=4]We found we could set these two functions so that a constant but minimum visible haze was always coming from the hazer. By setting the hazer off one minute before going onstage we ensured there was never a big whoosh of white smoke that usually results in complaints, but the lightshow would still cut through the almost [/size]invisible[size=4] [/size][size=4]haze without anyone really noticing it was coming from the hazer at the back [/size] [size=4] [/size] [size=4] [/size]

[/quote] Now that.... is class [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Anyone know what the bass is? I saw one very similar locally and it sounded amazing, I've wondered what it was since then![/size]

Great band, famous for their superb vocals and harmonies, and lovely light and shade in that song. One of the most talented bands up here in the Northeast and still garn strong, excellent Mr WoT!

Hahaha not me John, means I can come out and WATCH you mate Really unfortunate circumstances considering we were intent on performing one last 'Hoorah' just to pull the curtain down on what has been an absolute blast And after playing guitar for over 40 years Bobby now has to mentally and physically come to terms with and overcome this major hurdle - I cannot begin to imagine how daunting it is for him. Absolute lovely top bloke, and brilliant player, such a great shame.....

These pics capture what unexpectedly turned out to be our last gig New jobs and shiftwork meant we could no longer continue, and the week after we split, our guitarist (with the Les Paul) had his forefinger on his left hand amputated between the first two knuckles following an accident, totally devastating. Taken at The Office pub in South Shields in August, one of the best live venues we have in publand up here.

Bought a superb TC amp from Ben, mint condition, mint bloke. Buy/sell with confidence, top gadgee Ben Johna

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1379262778' post='2210535'] Nice Wal [/quote] Imagine the look on my face when I walked in and saw that beautiful Wal with a £375 price tag on it! I was just about to race to the bank when Warwick Hunt spotted my dropped jaw and pointed out that the tag had been switched from one of W11ATO's other 'For Sale' basses.....

Brilliant afternoon, great to put faces to names and some stunning gear on display RK's Overwater (and Martin it's luthier!) the two Letts basses (plus the concrete one!) W11ATO's Wal amongst his other impressive basses ('me wife has bags and shoes, I have basses' he told me ) Gaz Howe's Status and Warwick Hunts purple Warwick and lovely Music Man fretless to name just a few. WOT's latest Fender also deserves a mention, superb bass and those TKS cabs.....WOW!!!! If I was going for ultra lightweight but powerful and VFM backline these babys would need serious consideration, great when played next to - but when we stepped away from them - even better Met and listened to some great players, but highlight of the day for me was Kev Charlton's masterclass on his double bass - made me feel like getting back in the car and burning me gear..... Class!! Big thanks to WOT for organising a great afternoon out, cheers everyone Johna
