[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1364313027' post='2024688'] We use Thomans Starville 4 LEDS. One set of 4 lights a small 5x5mtr area in a pub well enough. 2 would be better but we never really have enough room as it is, so anothe tripod..?? I find the illumination good enough. We hire other stuff in if required. The tripods themselves are cheap and nasty...and the foor controller is ok... but the lights themselves are where the money is well spent, IMO. The other components can easily and cheaply be replaced [/quote] Im with you, I have been using the Thomans Starville led par cans now for years and they have been great. i use 4 per side with a behringer dmx controler as the starville dmx master 1 packed in. lots of good reasons for getting them, power saving .. if you use the old par bulbs 500w even 1000w each thats alot of power to use on the usually limited sockets at a venue the bulbs are almost wasted anyway unless you have something for the light to fall on so a fogger or a hazer will help the lights make the show. the great thing about the dmx controllers is you can program each song, worth spending a bit of time to get to grips on Just test/try on one song see what effect it has and befor you know it your hooked, and add other bits along the way the dmx bars are very handy very quick to set up, all wiring power and sig is internal. And a big plus is they are light,( excuse the pun ) so hamster if keep your eyes out on ebay you can get some gooood used deals, i went for these..

PS,,,, another great investment if using lights, to get the best out of them get a black back drop ! ! worth the effort.

No idea how it got there (she doesnt either) but its been there for about 18 months and it feels wrong to move it. Its like having a pet rock.

[left][b] Favorite rock 'n' roll stories and boogie woogie boasts,[/b] C'mon let's have them, even if they are your own.... Im sure there is a great book here. One of my fave rock stories, is when Jeff beck and cozy powell went to Motown to record an album with some of the funk brothers...... We started playing, it was great. James was locking up with Cozy's drum pattern. Then I looked around — Cozy was wheeling the drum kit out of the studio. They're going berserk. He has moved the sacred Motown drum kit out of the studio and wheeled this stupid double kit of Ludwigs in. The studio tech came up to me and said, "Didn't you guys come in here for the Motown sound?" Yeah. "Well, it just went out the door.

For smaller club gigs i have for over 15 years been using a SWR 350 super redhead, in that time i have tried a few just to see what they were like, tried the Eden metro, but it could not get to the volume of the red head with out farting, i took it back after 1 gig, i did spend time at a practice with it trying but was disappointed with it. I also tried the markbass cmd102p that was about the same, so back to the swr, it might just be my playing style but the eden and the markbass did not work for me. i have for bigger gigs an extension cab for the red head with two eminence 10 KAPPA 400w each which take alot of shifting, and an swr500 and swr 6x10 cab for the outdoor gigs. i think even today the red head takes some beating for its size, and the sound of it i love. if you are looking for an swr used then go for the early Super redhead 350, i have not tried the later 400 one some info here.... http://www.swramps.com/en-GB/products/search.php/?partno=4420100010

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1362423811' post='1999560'] Ah lovely that one! [/quote] It is nice, i ripped out the naff pickups ( remember i thought the back one had been changed, they both had) changed the electrics someone had put a bridge in the neck space and made the hole slightly bigger. but its clear as a bell i now use it to do all my tracks. congrats, enjoy

( hope its as good as the jazz i got from you,,, ooohh you should of kept that one )

[quote name='LemonCello' timestamp='1328478383' post='1527885'] 'Knock on wood' from last band, still gives me the eebeegeebeegees every time I hear it! [/quote] AHHH.... change it for this,,, they will never know ..well maybe a bit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIGMUAMevH0

TrashMonkeys, you gotta just love these guys, they remind me of corduroy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN9uh_gdwEA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ophw7rvZcyc

GONE ..that was quick... cheers This may be of use to someone, 1970s 100w combo no idea of the make, PM if intrested,

has to be said they have done a great job, i would love that in my collection. how does it sound play and have you had a comparison with an alembic?

UPDATE FROM.... "i have just been onto Hk to see if they will do me a matching fretted one, will review if i get it." Reply was...( as attitude castle said) "I am sorry to say that, but this bass version is not built anymore. This bass was too expensive in production so we stopped it last year." Well that did not surprise me, i could not see them making alot of profit out of them considering the stupidly low price they were kicking them out for, im wondering now if they made them for a market that did not work out so thats why the remaining stock ones ended up on ebay at such a low price ?? Ah well, a future classic maybe. Im looking for a fretted one now, Hello HKsixer, it does indeed look like a ken smith, and for £200 again such a good deal.

Always had a soft spot for this, and a surprising performance by Randy jackson on bass. But the drums by Rayford Griffin is the reason i got a kit,,,, i still cant play it ..... not even close! so now i just listen and say ..... wow. Enjoy.....

[quote name='Dread Bass' timestamp='1358788191' post='1945008'] Is it a Amboyna top? It looks different from my ACG [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/122/"]http://www.acguitars...uk/Gallery/122/[/url] Looks more like burl poplar but I am far from an expert. Either way it's a real looker. [/quote] Edited... Hi dread bass thanks for that, I have had another check on it and...... Yes go to the top of the class you are right, you can go into smug mode now.... Hk have replyed and said it is indeed poplar burl wood, ( in german it is called Maserpappel) I will amend the opening post yours looks fantastic is that amber tint ? i have just been onto Hk to see if they will do me a matching fretted one, will review if i get it.

Nothing worse than having you loved bass robbed. Because of what you said i dont think it matters what you get you will always compare it too and want that ray sound feel, and you will just end up getting another anyway. But as Ben jamin says Try the G&L L2000 (i pref the thinner necked one !) it is a fantastic bass. Also try the Sabre, its the stingray and more.. The pluss for me with the sabre which not many people have thought about is you can add another pickup in the neck position say a nordstrand or a rewound wizard for a more personal tone while still keeping that ray sound in the bridge. Best of both worlds

Cheers Bren i will check that out,
