[i]As for the musty guitar case....... Pssssss[/i]

Marvin; I also I have tinnitus, which is an audio hallucination, for want of a better expression. It's a sound that you can hear but doesn't actually exist. This ^ SSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

After five hours of abdominal surgery, your lower trunk will take more than a bit of time to recover. How long can you sit up straight without leaning back against something ? or slumping ? it really is best to seek the advice of your surgeon, or his registrar, as someone has said earlier. Gig in haste, repent at leasure. Best wishes for a good and speedy recovery

I'd love to see that. Have a blast and tell us all about it please

Are there multi channel limiters out there that can be used for multiple PA desk inputs ?

UPS about the best so far. Wouldn't trust anyone from My Herpes or Parcelfarce to sit the correct way around on a toilet seat. CityLink went out of business for good reasons in my experience.

Suspect you'll get a range of advice on this one, but there will be no real substiture for seeing you in action. A good investment may be to have a few lessons with a decent tutor Alternatively, you could post some footage of you playing online and wait for the response. That may not be everyone's cup of tea though Good luck and best wishes for your career

First of all, you could gather the physio's opinion about what's causing the problem, that may be illuminating. In the meanwhile,something to think about; 1) Do you think there's any connection between you starting to play a heavy(er) bass for longer periods of time than before and the onset of symptoms ? 2) You've played basses for many years, yet your post indicates problem has not emerged before now. If it were your posture (looking over the bass as you play) would that not have at least indicated something over the years ? (surely you must have had periods where you play longer sessions over the years ? did anything not happen then ?) Any thoughts ?

Been thinking around this one myself. For the smaller gigs with not a huge amount of cables, I use cable ties to keep each cable seperate and a rucksack to haul them around. The extra rucksack pockets are handy for various connectors etc. If you get the larger rucksack, there will be enough space for mics in boxes For the slightly larger gigs, a Stanley mobile work centre has two compartments to seperate 240v power leads from other stuff. XLR cables can go around a drum, such as a small garden hose reel. This solution keeps things relatively seperate without the hassle of carrying around too many boxes, which take up space in the car

Do you want to keep playing with guitarists that don't listen to the music you're playing ?

Stadium Elites on my Goodfellow Rumour, they feed that on board eq quite nicely

Thread resurrection here Any more recent observations on guitars BC ?

MIne is Ziggy Stardust, listened to it last night. Great to see Hendrix, Deep Purple, Aladin Sane, Sheer Heart Attack and Quadraphenia coming up, all could easily appear on my list White Noise ! I'd almost forgot that one !

This being a family forum, I'll refrain from expressing my thoughts about Mustang Sally. Just to say the language is decidedly viking Safe to say that one will never appear on a set list that I'm responsible for ....

He has real respect from me, as he was there at the very beginning. I still play his basslines today as part of our set. RIP

Just thinking around this one. How does one tell what the problem is ? after all, in many cabs there's the crossover and tweeter as well as the main driver Is it possible the problem may be something other than the driver ? loose wire ? Just some ideas

[quote name='paul h' timestamp='1423228186' post='2682475'] I'm a terrible bass player, musician and person so I never even try to learn most bass lines! I much prefer making stuff up on the fly so I learn the chords (roughly) and then just throw in the odd riff reminiscent of the original to keep the rest of the band off my back [/quote] Classic

I'd imagine that TWO of them would probably be enough to deafen people across the road !

You could get in touch with WD music, they stock a good amount of bits n bobs. I've found them helpful in the past

[quote name='funky8884' timestamp='1423338807' post='2683747'] I had a play with this set up the other day and found the Crossover quite sensitive, I was giving the cab loads of level. Wish I had more time to mess about with it. [/quote] I'd imagine that does sound [i]rather[/i] tasty. Is it a monster sound ? and..... apologies for the gentle thread highjack

Bought a mesa head from Graeme, which arrived in it's original box from Mesa -it was like opening a brand new head straight from the manufacturer. I couldn't have been happier, the box was well wrapped and everything as good as you could wish for. Highly recommended Thanks again Graeme
