iamtheelvy Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi guys, I'm Dave from Portsmouth. Been down in Portsmouth about five years but just getting going on the gigging scene. Play with the band Threesecondfool, formerly Kid Zero, formerly Citizen Unknown! Into all types of music and trying to get out and see live music wherever its happening locally. Gear wise I'm now playing a 'Walnutburst' Rickenbacker 4003, but also use a Fender Jazz and Musicman Stingray. Amp is a Gallien-Krueger 1001 through a Markbass 1x15. I've recently upgraded my board to a Pedaltrain pro with the following: BBE Supacharger and Dunlop DC Brick Boss TU2 EBS Multicomp 2x Gigrig Loopy 2s Digitech Whammy EBS Octabass Xotix X-Blender Moho Mods Russian Big Muff Proco Turbo Rat Bass Big Muff EBS Unichorus EH Freeze EBS Stanley Clarke wah Boss BF2 Boss DD6 Think that all (for now...)! Bit of a pedal-nut (or pedal-file as my guitarist calls it...). Hope to get more involved round here soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Steve Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi, also from Pompey (live in Waterlooville). Welcome aboard. I don't gig in the area much, tend to be further afield but there are still some decent gigs around the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hey Dave, Welcome from someone who is not from Pompey! Nice gear you got! An unnamable, a Jazz and a StingRay - now that's good in my book. Not that I know most of your pedals though, but I do be the owner of a Big Muff for four decades or so (it's not listed coz I didn't find it, and I didn't find it coz I wasn't searching, and I wasn't searching coz I got the Myrtle, see ) I see you wanna get involved. Good, good ... just you be aware we do not know the word "formerly". Don't wanna be a grammar nazi, but we simply don't like the elite out here. You just settle on "formally" now, boy. I liked the "pedal-file". Good thing you're not Irish then! Anyway, enjoy the site, its info and its banter! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yepmop Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi Dave Welcome from another Pompey boy!! You've got some serious gear there! Love the sound of Ricky's (had 2 in the past) but found them buggers to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheelvy Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah, they take some getting used to after years of Fender use, but its worth the effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember at night, with my dads trusty binnoculars, we would be watching the [i]ladies of the evening [/i]on the sea front, touting the Scapes for customers. Ahh happy days. I went back once maybe 10 years later to see some or other punky type band. I do recall lots of bars and clubs with live music. Still the same, or changed much ?

[/quote] The council/Police closed all the night clubs etc on the seafront about 10 years or so ago and moved them to a central location in the city centre so it's easier to police. Now, between the hours of 20:00 and 01:00 it's become on of the most violent streets in Britain The City has so much potential for things but the clowns that have been running it over the past 30-40 years have really screwed everything up. Oh well, still a nice place for a day/weekend visit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] we'll get some more dates in the diary soon i hope! I guess our sound is fairly straight rock stuff, but we've got a lot of varied and obscure influences as a band, so there are some oddities too. At the momeny we are about 50/50 originals and covers.

yepmop Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) That looks more confusing to me that learning a new bass line Have you ever stomped on the wrong pedal in a song? Edited February 18, 2013 by yepmop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheelvy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Actually, really rarely! My board has expanded so much over the years, but all the types of effects have stayed in the same order, so it falls fairly naturally under my feet. Saying that, I have got one song we do with at least ten effects changes in it, so I'm improving in my tap dancing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
