Yeah I watched it, I thought the performance was fantastic. I saw them live on the last tour, they are one of the best bands that I have seen live. Great show for a 3 piece. Thought the new stuff came over really well.

I use a Mono strap, highly recommended. Very comfortable.

After reading this thread I ordered an instrument cable (neutrik / klotz) and a speaker cable from OBBM, gotta say superb quality and very fast service. Arrived within 2 days of ordering!

Great to do business with. I bought Shaun's littlemark 2 amp, korg dtr2000 tuner and gator rack. Sent swiftly by courier and works / sounds great!

All great advice above, if you check out the Markbass FAQ's on their site it tells you how to set the amp up.

They've shown you they're ficcle and un-commited. If your in this band to push it and get places, these don't sound like the people you want to do it with..[/quote] I agree with this, had a similar experience. They will only do it again at a later date.

[quote name='Toasted' post='863323' date='Jun 10 2010, 02:46 PM']My Berg IP doesn't have any lights on the front to confirm it's on, so many times I've replaced all my rack cabling with the spares I carry trying to find a duff lead before I realise that I forgot to .... turn the amp on.[/quote] Thats my trick! I often wonder why there is no sound, and its always because I have forgotten to switch the amp on!

The stranglers are playing, so you should check out J.J. Burnel.

Working on "Last train to London" by ELO. Great song, great bass line.

Very nice!

I am tempted to invest in one! Must stop myself somehow!!!

"Starlight" by Muse. Lovely song.

[quote name='WalMan' post='861584' date='Jun 8 2010, 10:24 PM']The new Spocks Beard CD (X). Pre ordered ages ago (they used the Marillion method this time round) and it arrived while I was away on a conference for the last couple of days. Only a pre order for me not in the Honorary Exec Producers list, or featured in on of the songs, as the Hon Execs were. That package (nice as it would be to support a band I love) was a bit out of my price range! MrsW was out shopping when I got home so I got an uninterrupted listen through before she got back. Generally liking it a lot & wil be giving it another blast on the way to work (and probably home again) tomorrow[/quote] Lucky you! still waiting for mine to arrive!

Ally lee's "roots rock riot show" on our local lionheart radio station!

Wow! congratulations! Hope it goes well for you and the band.
