    Sorry to namedrop but once played a celebrity party and Sting approached the drummer in the loo and said "you guys are pretty good, how long have you been together as a band?", being a complete scratch band for the night he answed "about 31/2 hours", to which Sting replied "in that case you guys are F****ing great"

    I have done loads of dep gigs over the years. Most pro gigs tend to be function or tribute bands so knowing the material is essential. I don't find many function gigs require reading these days although will be needed for theatre shows. If I need cheat sheets for unfamiliar songs I personally try to keep the info to a minimum as many bands have their own arrangements of songs so listening and quick response is also vital. Also learn to think of chord changes numerically as you'll play many songs in different keys, for example instead of C F Dm G think 1425 in the key of C, a knowledge of modes also will help with this. A good exercise I use with students to build ear training and instincts is to busk along with the radio (radio 2 good for popular tunes),

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1428955357' post='2746451'] In public reply to somebody's comments. It's just over a year old. It's pretty much immaculate. My feedback sort of backs up comments I might make about stuff I sell. It's 21% cheaper than a new one from Thomann and 27% cheaper than a new one from Bass Direct. And I've had 5 enquiries about this amp, yet not a bump from one of them [/quote] Hey Karl sorry to hear that have one on me BUMP The protocol on here tends to be that if someone has an open question about how many "fizzldy goggs" a piece of gear has, then asking here on the listing is best as it allows [b]all[/b] potential buyers to benefit from the answer. However if potential buyers are giving personal details or giving an opinion on condition and value then this is best done in a private message to maintain discression and integrity of the original advert. Private messages are more likely to be seen too! All the best with the sale Clem

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1428994163' post='2746685'] its the powersoft version so sounds nicer and is 4 ohms min per channel or 1000w into 8ohms if bridged. Will has it going into a single fearful cab for pretty much the ultimate rig! [/quote] Hi Luke. Ah did this used to be yours? Funny if it ends up back with the same cab! Looks like what I'm after, just working on the means! Hope you're well.
  7. Bassistclem
    Sure you're correct but just want to confirm that the amp is definitely 500w into 4ohm minimum and not 2ohm into each channel . The only one I can find on tecamps website says 500w into 2ohms and 350 into 4ohms. Cheers.
  8. Bassistclem
    Nice. Saving up for a lightweight amphead at the moment and fancy a Tecamp to match my cab. Hopefully sell some bits soon but fear I may miss this one, good luck with the sale, good price!

    I have one of these albeit with Delano pickups. Awesome bass, wish I could afford another!

    All weekend for me. Saturday a wedding with one party band, Sunday a birthday party with another then Monday depping with legendary queen tribute Magic at Bristol Hipadrome. When will I get chance to eat my eggs?

    Try some iron-on wood veneer strip. Can be glued in place and removed with heat later if required.

    [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1420886657' post='2654508'] Hello all, My band are in a bit of rut thinking of a carefully chosen last song. For many bands, their last song is something that is a kind of signature. A song that always goes down well, but is not the obvious 500 Miles, or Alright Now, Hey Jude or whatever. A local band I know play Viva Las Vegas, another one always plays Angels and another one always goes for Want You Back (Take That). Great songs that most bands don't even bother putting in their main sets but gets pulled out of the bag right at the end and sounds great. So really I'm asking if anyone has any ideas for a slightly unusual anthemic, sing along song to close the night with. Any ideas gratefully recieved! Alex Haha. Did a dep for a cover band the other night and those were the last three songs if the night , alright now, hey Jude and 500 miles! Something to be said for the classics [/quote]

    I would sometimes catch the neck when wearing my ring so now I don't wear it when playing, get a bit of grief from my wife though!

    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1421956658' post='2667161'] I've had a lot of MIJ basses (including licensed Fender products), and the only non-metric allen screws I've ever encounterted have been the pole pieces in the DiMarzio pickups fitted as standard to many early 80s instruments. Jon. Thank you Baddassin [/quote]

    [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1421952323' post='2667085'] I would guess metric as Japan has used metric for a long time. But couldn't say for sure. [/quote] Thank you

    I have a Japanese Fender Jazz, 75 reissue, made in 1997, and just wondered wether the truss rod would be imperial or metric. Both the 4mm or the 5/32 sit a bit loose in the bullet truss rod and I suspect the bullet may need replacing. The saddle adjusters take a metric allen key perfectly so think the answer may be metric... Many thanks

    Great little studio speakers, especially for £30! Sounded better than the Krk rocket 5s IMO, had some in my studio for a couple of years and mixes always translated well.
  25. Bassistclem
    HI Ordep. Can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere.... Does plugging headphones in mute the speaker output? I would want to use both, aux in and headphone for in ears while having sound on stage too. Have you tried it like this?
