1st time was an E String during a gig many years ago. I think I was playing with fingers. Can't remember the song. The string was old and probably had been boled 2nd time was stretching in a new set. I think it was the G string.

Welcome. Good intro. Enjoy the forum.

Hi and welcome. For now try to spend more time playing your bass rather on BC. Eventually you'll end up like a lot of us though. Resistance is futile!

Welcome to the forum. I love Wales and really enjoy riding my motorbike around there when I'm not playing ny bass.

We recently filled a cancellation for a Sunday afternoon /early evening gig at an established pub. We agreed to do it for a reduced fee and if all went well then full payment for the future. We had very little notice and were not expected to bring a crowd. We did manage to bring almost a dozen which helped. As it was not advertised there were less than usual which is the problem of the venue not us. Doing it for anything less wouldn't have gone down well. There is a local pub that offers free slots on a Sunday to try out bands but we are not that interested or desperate to play there. Good luck deciding what to do.

I don't really have either. My main bass is a MM Stingray that I use for almost every gig or set. I have recently bought a Sterling Sub as a backup and practice bass that has yet to be gigged as it is doesn't sound as good as the Ray. My other bass is an Aria pro 2 fretless that I wouldn't gig regularly as it wouldn't suit all the songs. For me it's ultimately what sounds best.

There was no mention if the sale cost of a lead either. Don't remember them requiring batteries though. Watch this space!

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1469704307' post='3100439'] Did anyone buy into Philips DCC format? was going to be the next big thing at one time. I still have the player.... best thing about it was that it had an optical output so you could put a standard tape in and transfer it easily. I backed up loads of my old tapes to CD [/quote] Bought a portable one as soon as they came out. Used it to master on to from our Tascam 4 track instead of chrome or metal cassette! Worked well enough and also used a mini disc. It gas since packed up though.

[quote name='paul h' timestamp='1469808436' post='3101259'] I have a TC BH550 with a Spectracomp and I leave it at 12 o'clock all the time. It adds a little punch without really squashing everything. Saying that, it's pretty much the only compressor I have really liked. [/quote] I do the same with my tc classic 450 for much the same reason. Have dabbled with pedals live too but not too bothered about them.

Almost forgot about this thread too. Will the log keep rolling?

Really pleased with my padded cover for my BF Retro 210. Does the job projecting it in the car and in storage at home. Great service from them too.

Enjoy your cab and feedback after your gig. I have one and it is very clear and loud. Amazing for the size.

Found out I was sacked when I saw the advert for a bass player in the classifieds. I phoned the singer and got her answer phone. left a message and got one back a few days later with an apology but no real explanation. I suspect it was the keyboard player / band leader who was a total arse.

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1467227690' post='3082151'] Ouch! [/quote] Indeed. It hurt at the time. This might take some beating but we'll see.

Most drummers I have worked with have been fine. Only 1 stands out as a tool but that was very short lived.

Bought a brand new EBMM Stingray 5 string fretless in the early 90's for a lot (can't remember the actual amount). I had to sell it to help fund a move abroad a few years later at short notice. Ended up selling it to a shop in London for about a quarter of what I paid for it.

The isolated track has recently be discussed [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/285531-the-ox-isolated-bass-track-video-wont-get-fooled-again/page__p__3066429__hl__fooled__fromsearch__1#entry3066429[/color][/size][/font]
