  1. I saw a touring Italian Rush trib called 'La Villa Strangiato' last year, they were excellent right up until the guitarist's rig completely went on the fritz. These guys are just as good in every way. If they come to my neck of the woods, I'd definitely go check them out. Hopefully by then the vocalist won't need to crib the lyrics off a tablet. :lol: That bass tone is absolutely spot on.

     

    As an aside, my first band at school was called 'Emotional Feedback'. We weren't a Rush trib, we just liked the name. I suspect this bunch are rather better than we were.

  3. My band's Farcebook page is being inundated with things like this... 

    The scammers get a temporary guest account from FB (Guest 4756 in this case); the temp account lasts for 24 hours, then disappears. If you click on the link, they gain access to control your FB account. Not much you can do about it as the guest account, now with access to your account, has gone.

    It's happening to loads of bands that we know, apparently it has been relentless this whole weekend. There are some absolute wucking fankers out there.

     I wanted the amp on its own which the buyer wont sell separately. 

     

    And the reason for that is that he knows he'd have the devil's own job selling that cab. People generally just aren't buying huge heavy cabs any more, not like they used to. 

    In terms of your actual query, yes, maHOOsive overkill. You can get perfectly good recorded results using amp and cab modelling.

    So this was today’s set up, as I still have the pins in my left hand where I severely damaged my thumb. Actually quite fun to try and convert bass fills that are second nature on the bass into something similar on the Moog!!

    Get thee to a prog band! :lol:

  6. We all have favourite albums and favourites tracks from them. But what is your favourite sequence of 3 songs from an album? Not just your favourite 3 from an album, but 3 consecutive songs. 

    Mine are Manhattan Project -> Marathon -> Territories, from Rush's 'Power Windows'. They're great songs anyway, but the three together are just a stunning combination. 

    Over to you, BC Massive.

  7. The only basses of mine that have anything approaching names are Jayray (because that's what it is... a 'Ray with a fretless Jaydee neck) and Skabass (because, errm, that's what it is... a 2-tone themed thing). All the others have names like 'the Spector' and 'the Shuke' and 'the Wal'.

  8. £65 inc. postage. Bank transfer or PayPal goods/services.

    Alternatively, pop round and pick them up for cash. I'm told I make good tea. :)

     

    EMG 35HZ Passive 4 String Bass Pickup pair. Taken from a Spector Q4.

     

    EMG say:

    "Part of EMG's HZ Extended Series line, the 35HZ, with its modern appearance is actually a product of 30+ years of design experience This passive model features a dual-coil design for low noise and plenty of output. Using EMG's "CS" design (Ceramic and Steel), the resulting tone is much warmer as a result of the higher inductance of the steel, and thus has a smoother attack and a flatter high end. All of the HZ bass models feature solid bar magnets that cover the entire width of the strings so any string layout can be used. This model uses an extended housing that is 3.5 inches (89mm), perfect for four string spacing’s. From classic rock to heavy metal this pickup performs."

    Working perfectly and in very good physical condition with no obtrusive marks. Plenty of length in the cables, cores ready for stripping and tinning. Wiring instructions can be found at the product webpage: https://www.emgpickups.com/35hz.html

    They can be coil-tapped, very effectively. Adds a different colour to the ol' tonal palette.

    Pickup fixing screws included, but no other hardware.

    For me the Sugarbabes are a relatively small amount of talent driven forward by excellent production standards and marketing.

    They bumble along with nearly 3 million monthly listeners and a couple of songs exceeding 140 million streams. 

    Popularity ≠ talent.
