My band have started doing a mash up which I am confident noone else does. We call it Sharona's Toxic Love Shack! Its the My Sharona riff played as an intro then we keep the rhythm going to the chord progression of Toxic by Ms Spears as well as the lyrics....stay with me... then we sing the chorus of LoveShack by the B-52's to the rhythm of Toxic as the chorus. We go back into the Toxic/Sharona verse and we include the LoveShack break-down. in the middle. We always get a great response but that could be more to do with people recognising the song among our set of self penned tunes We also did a mean cover of Carol of the Bells at a christmas gig last year with 4 part vocal harmony and it sounded chilling - that was added to the end of one of our own tunes and made for quite the set finisher! If you're in Edinburgh tomorrow night you can come hear Sharona's Toxic Love Shack in the wee red bar@ the Art College along with some other awesome tunes

I have a V Type combo for sale/trade if you wanna go down that route

Hey this ain't Fedner but it might give you something like what you're after - probably expensive though. I think its based on the Baxandal type tone circuit and ultimately going for the Ampeg B15 vibe more than Fender I'm currently using a valve drive and plan to run it through the power amp only this wed night at practice just to hear how it sounds. www.barberelectronics.com/linden.html Or you could buy your ex the V Type combo from me

Yeah I just saw a poster for the SeaBass Kid gig today up in Morningside and was wondering who they were. Strange coincidence that! OK well if we can tie things up early at the WRB I might grab the band and hut Bannermans - we love a bit of Classic 90's! Good luck with the gigs! g

tell me about it! had a guy very recently tell me that he wasn't micing the bass amp - a 65w monster- but that it was ok as none of the amps were mic'd. After sound check and right before the gig I saw that the guitar amps were mic'd but not the bass amp nor was it D.I.'d and the sound man thought this was ok a 65w practice amp on stage with full drums, two guitar amps and all the rest. Make ya wanna weep. I'll be sure and bring the ampeg 410 to sneakys so I can be heard either way. Cheers for the heads up and if you're in town come down and say hello or make it to the wee red bar on the 25th for cheap booze and some killer tunes from J!PA G

Hi there Some may recognise me, most won't. Been on here for about a year and never really pimped the band but we're on the verge of getting a van and taking this stuff out to the masses. Got some local gig's lined up, the highlight being a Halowe'en show on the 30th October which features some of the best bands in Edinburgh at the minute. I digress..... Here is a link to our home made demo, recorded all around our singers flat including the wardrobe...or the vocal booth as it was known for the duration! The tunes are 'Angry-Pop' and we have some killer new things in the pipeline a 7/8 latin groove with a suitably chunky chorus and break down? Oh yeah we went there! Add comments as you see fit - constructive is always better than one word slam dunks but most of all I hope you enjoy it.

nice to see Ronson has got a new haircut, new band and doing the vampire weekend/ two step/80's retro thing....not! Nice Hellborg rig though! Jools has hit a difficult point over the last few years as newer bands are trying out lots of different sounds - and not what the mass audience would like to hear. Its good to see bands getting some airplay - just a shame so many of them are not what I like but ultimately I'd rather watch a season of Later... (albeit on iPlayer so I can forward what I'm not digging) than not have it on TV. Lets face it we can spotify or youtube any music we like - it's nice to be exposed to music I don't normally listen to - even if I choose to forward it. But Phil Collins!!!!!!!!!

Hey My understanding is that the older cans were 400w and rated at 4ohm. I could be wrong but when I got my SVT Classic I was told it was more desirable at the time due it being the HLN with speakon and an extra 100w power handling than the 'normal' cabs which were 400w. Try the ampeg site in the support or manual section. Good Luck!

Gentleman Jack! Insisted he pay up front. This is my second dealing with Jack and it was a pleasure, as always. Buy, sell and correspond with confidence. Hope the pick up hit's the spot. Gavin

My 2 cents I had a '78 P bass a few years back in my old band. Got some really decent growl going thru an Ashdown head but what a neck! It twas big. I have played a Lakland BG or 64 I think they are calling it now but its neck was very 'modern' yet familiar its a Lakland so known for their neck profiles - slimmer yet wider than my current bass - an 08 USA Fender and I have to say the Fender from the 08 upgrades are really nice. For me it feels right sounds great (however I did just put a Nordstrand in mine tho the Fender stock p/u did look to be pretty solidly built, ever so slight overwind, good thick quality wires) The new USA's are well worth a look and well within your budget - after that its basically a matter of personal preference and if you wanna spend £1500 just to spend the money. I know of a 79 P bass, immaculate condition, literally been hiding under a bed in a case for the last 30 years with absolute minimal wear that you could get for about £1300. Its got a big P neck but that same classic tone and oomph. I'd go so far as to say this particular example is commanding! Good luck and keep us posted of you quest G

Seen these on the EBS site and having on of the Valve Drive pedals it appeals to me. With the 65 Amp Apollo, the Ashdown Little Bastard and this are we seeing a new trend for the small power studio bass head? I know I've used a MiniMat for a few years for home jamming and recording but like the idea of something bigger but not huge. Not sure how practical it would be in the grand scheme but I digress..... Any info appreciated and I'm guessing its based on the Fender Bassman circuit?

I've an Eden power amp for sale - buit in '98 and its been solid, reliable and without a hitch since I got it. Fashion dictates what the value of gear is not reliability or performance it would seem unless you're after the best you can get for the money/job. I went Eden as it was Bass power amp by a bass amp builder not a generic (though it would hardly matter I suppose) It has some great features and unlike the SWR power amp I had before it has never let me down. I was very disappointed in the SWR but once companies change hands their initial valuse can becime diluted - big business and all that! So if anyone wants to buy an eden power amp

We were setting up before a BOTB thing we entered (needed to try and win money for a van) and all the other bands were saying hi and being friendly except this one other band. They were sat there with their 'manager' being cool - there are 4 ladies in 'my' band and 2 guys and I think they expected they would have to show the girls how to switch on an amp, where the cable plugs in etc - and they made no effort to chat. Once we started to play the went very sombre looking. I made a point of chatting to them and being friendly but left before their sound check..... Come gig time they were ok but their mandatory cover song was Dakota by Stereophonic and I sh*t you not it sounded like each member of the band was playing in a different key! I went over after and suggested it was an interesting version of the song The results came in and guess who didn't win and walked out without saying a word. As for post gig we always gig away cd's after a show so we get people coming to say hi but with 4 ladies in the band I don't get much traffic regardless of how good my tone is

Just a heads up - my lady ordered me one for my birthday -ahhhh - but due to thomann long wait bought one locally. According to their email yesterday Thomann have gone and dispatched me one after the order was cancelled. If anyone would like to have ot for the going retail price I'm happy to pass it on and I'll cover the postage. It will naturally go up on the appropriate for sale section once it arrives. If its any consolation I do enjoy mine and am tempted to use it at my next band practice for a bit of fun

My band mates and I were just discussing this recently as we have 2 acoustic guitars and a keyboard to DI and we'd thought of getting our own DI's just to be sure that there will be enough for us at gigs! Interesting topic so thanks for bringing it up

Stumbled upon this by accident earlier... I'm sure some of you cat's would be keen to have a listen - you can use the link below and follow the info on the site www.mesaboogie.com They are testing and comparing all the cab's in their range and then doing some side by side stuff. Not keen on the guy playing but he does some finger style, some slap with both 4 and 5 string basses. The 4x12" cabs sound good as do the 2x15" to my ears. Enjoy
