  1. [quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1468737686' post='3092910'] So I've got my rig down to a nice lightweight one speaker solution, Markbass LM3 and a Shroeder 212pl 800watt 4ohms. Mostly been playing pubs since getting it together but last night played a largish marquee tent for a charity festival. Oh my, what a sound! No PA back up, just vocals and a bit of bass drum through it so I cranked it a bit thinking I would get a bit lost with everyone (guitar/keys) turned up to push the sound out. Normally have the volume on about 10 o'clock and that is at the most for a biggish pub, went up to just before 12 o'clock and my girlfriend who was sat right at the back behind quite a big crowd said she had never heard me so loud! Great fun gig, we were second last on so chilled with a beer to hear the final band, had a little boogie! Louder than all the other bassists apparently!! I can live with that!!

Loved your cover of The Chain" btw!

  3. This video help? http://youtu.be/GcELSY6PD_s

[/quote] Silverburst? Almost Mastodon-esque!
  5. Great deal for that head @ £125!
  6. Talking of chintzy, just seen this! http://spectorbass.com/euro4lxtrade-rachel-bolan.html
  7. [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1421924683' post='2666592'] Just seen the bass. A fitting tribute. Although whenever I listen to AiC, particularly Dirt, I hear an orange Spector... [/quote] Yep, me too! Think it was that one he was playing in the 'Them Bones' vid?
  8. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1418345920' post='2629494'] Hey, a Spector Porn Thread! Some pics of my latest acquisition - just for the record. Pre-XL 2002 Czech-built Euro4 with solid maple wings and Tonepump circuit. I thank you! [/quote] Wow! That's one lovely bass!
  9. Another happy BH500 owner here! I play in a loud two guitar band and it manages to keep up with ease (no matter what watts it's alleged to be rated at ), like any amp head you have to tinker a bit to get "your sound" but with the 4band eq and the tubetone it'll do it, for what I was going for, read a variety of posts on here which helped and got a sound I'm very happy with. At £275 it's great value for what you get, surprised there's not more peeps using 'em.
  10. We do this one in my band - currently using Dean Markley Helix Nikki Sixx gauge .50 to .110 - not too flappy!
  11. From what I can remember, around the time of Pornograffiti - Pat was using a Kramer Spector P/J bass and Mesa Boogie amp and cabs...though if you've got a twitter account you could ask the man himself! https://mobile.twitter.com/PatBadger5
  12. Evening all, Just wondering as some on here have the same amp head as me, has anyone managed to get a gig bag for it? Have been trawling t'internet for hours but with no luck! Cheers Dan
  13. [quote name='ratman' timestamp='1399803431' post='2447723'] I asked the same thing, but a standard Knightfall with a blend will set you back £140. You may as well get a 66 for an extra couple of quid, lots more bang for your buck. I did, and it rocks! You will not lose any low end, I promise. There is so much on tap. You're asking the same questions I did a few weeks ago, and Tom answered them all. Call him, He'll be happy to put your mind at rest. A bunch of BCers just told me just to get one, I wouldn't regret it. I'm now saying the same to you. Just do it. You will love it. It's the best drive pedal I have owned by a country mile. I've just done my first 2 gigs with it and everyone has commented on the tone and definition because it doesn't get lost in the general mix. Call Tom and sort it out! [/quote] Was my only reservation - getting lost in the band mix - but everybody seems to be very happy once they've got theirs in their various setups - hadn't thought about the '66, will have to go and have a look at that one, cheers dannybuoy and ratman!
  14. Have to be honest the demos I looked at on YouTube (taking into account how bassless computer speakers are!) sounded pretty awesome!
  15. Some lovely pedals here folks! Trying to resist pulling the trigger on a Knightfall - is there any loss on the low end? Just wondering if I should contact Tom and see if he can do one with a clean blend?
  16. I use the Bh500 with a bc210 & bc212 in a very loud 2 guitar band - very happy with it! If you can wait a month or two as mentioned above, I wouldn't be surprised if TC do their usual 'one cabinet free' deal (from what I can remember they have done it annually in the summer for the last 2/3 years).
  17. They've finally got a landline number - 01403 252302!
  18. I really like mine, it's not a high end amp and doesn't pretend to be and IMHO is value for money when you consider what you get!
  19. I'm currently playing through TC BH500 head, TC BC212 & TC 210 cabs - cabs aren't too heavy, it's loud and cuts through two very loud detuned guitars - job done! Cheers Dan
  20. When the old landlady left she took the landline number with her!
  21. Hi all, My band Solice is playing the following event for charridy! https://www.facebook.com/events/288303637980243/?ref=2 Cheers Dan
  22. This my lot - Solice - we do grunge, alternative rock & metal with the odd pop/indie cover! https://www.facebook.com/groups/solice/
