While I agree it is a great Reggae bass tone the reason I said it is the perfect bass tone is It would fit in so many styles. Clean, warm, sits in the mix beautifully. I'd happily try to emulate that in my Americana band! And yes, although not yours on Reggaebasses level of expertise, it does have Robbie's fingerprints all over it 👍

@SumOne that is the PERFECT bass tone! Thanks for posting.

Is this the end for the boutique bass?

Before realising this was an E.J. Tribb (17.5) masterpiece I thought it was a long lost verse of What a Waste. P.s. how do I get a 1/2 on my phone keypad? 😟 -
Well done @Blondy👍

Could do an Aria SB style finish - the red stain and pale natural stripe would work really well imo.

Oli Foxen of Ampstack used to specialise in vintage British valve amps. Used to post regularly on here but disappeared a long time ago. You can find him on Instagram, YouTube etc.

@Lozz196 Great gig. Not surprised you went down well as Therapy? don't nail themselves too firmly to a scene, so I expect their fans are pretty open to other stuff. The two albums I worked on in the early 2000s had a fair dose of Punk mixed in to the metal. And the drummer then, Neil Cooper, his first love was Jazz!

We've all been there 👍

Here's the review I mentioned - couldn't work out how to copy it yesterday.

So many possibilities here. @SimonK has offered the first one. This will be mainly down to eq. What speaker are you using? It may be a case of you not hearing it on stage, but it is shaking the walls at the back of the pub! Finally, there's quite a lot going on with the controls of the amp. Have a read of @JGSpector review on here.

I gave my nearly 50 year old Guild guitar to my nephew. Couldn't bring myself to sell it, but was never going to played again by me. When I saw he had and loved a Guild acoustic it made perfect sense.

Replaced by Harley Benton.

Valve amp. Thought it was the right thing to do. What a waste of time!
-
Crazy to think how many there were - Len Stiles in Lewisham, one on Peckham Rye, and one just around the corner from Camberwell Green. All just a walk or short bus ride away! Getting proper nostalgic now

You'll get plenty of help with that existential crisis on here! Welcome to the forum.

Used to regularly visit Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road as a kid, but the shop I remember most fondly, and the cause of my Peavey T40 gas was Nolan's in Forest Hill, South London. Run by two very friendly Irish guys. Had one of their own amps, a very good, but very impractical copy of a Fender Twin.

@kiat Anthony from Macari's now owns the music shop in Haywards Heath, very close to the station.

I thought he was in the Communards.

Main references I just saw looking up rumble.com were Andrew Tate, Russell Brand and anti-cancel culture. Hmm, don't think I'll be visiting the site any time soon. -
Harmonica and solo sax (as opposed to horn section) are predominantly lead instruments, and many of these players don't seem to know what to do when it's not 'their turn'. Really good players will be able to riff with the guitarist, which is why, if you find one that does, hang on to them!

Just watching the Ray Cooper tambourine masterclass (otherwise known as Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me). What a pro!
