P.S. Nice D-Plan cover as your Avatar/Profile picture

No London date because we have an agreement not to play another London area show other than Kingston on this tour. The tour is mega-compact due various issues, not least the fact that our guitarist/singer lives in New York and our drummer is a teacher, but we'll be near all the important places .

our booker tells me that the TBC will probably be in Exeter, if thats any use?

2 Jazz Basses, passive. my Sandberg (active) 2 Precision basses, 1 old and passive, 1 modern active one.

An acquaintance of mine just had a 2nd hand Alembic shipped up to Scotland which Parcelforce 'lost' and are as yet unable to track down Scary.

Yes! I'd love a pair. I'm dutch too. And in Scotland. It's like it was meant to be.

I don't know any much more than what I said but I also think it'll probably be just a 'big' version of the crush series. Regardless - it's a good thing for people wanting a big amp to play gigs with in bright orange, for sure.

Hey Jake. Welcome. I love Huddersfield. Have good friends there from Bar 120 (now called 1:22 i believe?).

Thought I'd give a heads up to those of you who like Orange gear. Sources tell me they are working on a 500 watt solid state combo to fill a 'gap' in the bass amp market, coming in at around £300. To me, still not 'real' Orange gear but it's their first move into non-practise amp solid state gear.

I like Mannys most - wasn't a fan of the staff in Sam Ash. Guitar Centre is dreadful and they had NOTHING desirable so I wouldnt bother with that! There are a few FANTASTIC vintage music stores in Brooklyn / Williamsburg that you should try to track down. And you should definitely give the Sadowsky folks a call and ask if you can pop by and have a look!

I love "musos" on forums who think all sound engineers are idiots by default. Its a fantastically narrow minded and blind approach. Telling an engineer how to do their job is just as bad as them telling you that your basslines are crap and someone else should play the parts. Why would an engineer throw up hundreds of mics? He knows what he is doing and how is going to do it. If it sounds crap, COMMUNICATE. If you still dont get good results, why are you using this engineer? You must have picked them for a reason. If that reason is price, then consider if you really have a right to complain? You can work TOGETHER. It doesnt have to be a battle all the time, which seems to be something most bands expect.

did some demo recording with this last night - will post sound clips when i get rough mixes back

+ 1... my tuner. makes 349

Noisedude - I need you to do something for me. Go to your kitchen and get a knife, or find a screwdriver from your toolbox. Then turn your bass round, and give it a good stab somewhere on the back. It needs to be done.

What is afro?

Actually - I heard busses banned velcro because it was intimidating and offensive to pensioners.

Hehe awesome... from here on they'll just get bigger and bigger... until you hurt your back and then you'll go progressively smaller and lighter again

Sweet! Enjoy it mate. Good deal.
