Lozz196 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Great looking set-up there, Bill, and I`m sure it sounds even better than it looks - assuming that is possible of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! It does sound fantastic, will have to dig out a clip where it shows its tone on a live gig situation! 3 minutes ago, stu_g said: looks good wouldnt fancy lugging it around though. Haha! right? Thankfully i have a tech that sets up this beast, the amp i lug around at home on smaller local shows is an Aguilar SL410! lightest cab ever! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_g Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 yeah if i had a roadie i would have a big amp, i like to feel the breeze of the bass around my ankles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woof! Get your tech to take it out of the box though, I know it’s for practical reasons but it’d look cooler naked! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottastopbuyinggear Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Good grief - my whole band usually has to set up in a smaller space than that, and we're a five piece! What's that between the stack and your pedal board - it's not a butt kicker type thing is it?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottastopbuyinggear Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 And I always thought those were to compensate when you didn’t have, say, a huge great 8x10 right behind you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Nice. Loved my Bassman 135 and 2x15 cab. Don't miss carting it about, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest its mainly to feel the drums! I have both snares and kick drum going through this thing, so when i'm far away from him on bigger stages i get a really good feel of what is going on!

However I’m secretly disappointed that it’s not just bass player excess! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperbob 2002 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Haha! Proper old school, well other than the techie platform. Quite curious about that for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite curious about that for sure. Its a useful bit of gear in the right setting! the first time i tried it was just at a friends house, bass only and didn't really like it! but when you put it in a band situation, it feels great and keeps you locked in nicely with the drummer, aswell as feeling all the subtleties of your own playing right through your feet!

Steve Browning Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 NIce set-up for sure but can you please ask Rory to get Matt Walker back on board because his mum is worried about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Hey bill nice rig. Are you the guy who played bass for rag n bone mans Beyoncé cover for the live lounge? That’s a cracking bit of playing, that bassline. Edited December 22, 2017 by scalpy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do cover versions with our year 9s and I use that as an example- always turn that bit up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) As well as making the case for Matt I was also going to ask what determined whether the pedal board went on the platform or not. Is it space or did it start off there but moved off. I wondered if the vibration did anything? Not heard of them for that use but love that idea.
