HowieBass Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 From a BBC news report "The bass crashed into you like a steam train. I had a pain in my chest." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-27042893 Well, I didn't know that UB40 liked it that loud?! Heaviest bass I ever heard was in Manchester once from a street sound system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] +1 Pretty sure everyone was complaining about the general low frequencies rather than the actual bass guitar itself. A pretty common state of affairs at lots of gigs these days.

TheGreek Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 They played St Albans on the Friday - a friend of mine was in jail with Ali Cambell years ago and even though Ali has left UB40 and has gone "solo", because my mate knows the whole band we normally get in backstage on the guest list. However because there was an argument with the new Tour Manager none of us went. Ali and Astro are playing Hatfield Park later this year so chances are we'll be getting backstage passes to that instead. Didn't the woman who complained realise that the gig was going to be loud?? Must have been a while since she last went to a gig.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
