  1. As I keep telling my lot, we're not a tribute band, so it doesn't have to be - indeed, it can't be - a carbon copy. We're a 3-piece covers band, and it's ok to put our own spin on a song. Regarding bass, I use a bit of distortion on the Muse stuff we do, and a touch of chorus on the '80s tracks, but other than that, it's a clean, punchy sound. Over the years I have developed what might pass for my own "style", and that lets me vary my playing a bit. eg. I'm a bit more aggressive on the Sabbath & Velvet Revolver stuff than I am on Beatles, Stereophonics, etc. Returning to my original point, if you're not a tribute band, then make it your own.

  3. If it's happening to both cabs, that would suggest it's the head. Do you have another cab you can connect just to test?
  4. Mrs HT will come along to local gigs, and/or if there's a group of friends attending. Generally she won't travel as it's a hell of a long night, especially if she doesn't know anyone else there. Apart from that, music is my thing, rugby is hers, and we're not joined at the hip. I think it's good to have some separate interests.
  5. Cabs just arrived this afternoon. Here's a shaky phone photo.
  6. Well, I can't afford the RS cabs, so I just pulled the trigger on a K-410 + K-115. Should hopefully be a perfect match with my BH550. Will pop up a couple of pics of the full rig when they arrive, hopefully early next week.
  7. It's nearly new cab time, and I'm looking seriously at the K-series. Anyone using them? Thoughts? Impressions?
  8. My basses are all Spectors. 1. Euro 5-LX - absolute workhorse, used at *almost* every gig + recording; 2. Q5 Pro Holoflash - a bit more "rock" than the poplar burl Euro, use it at some balls-out rock gigs; 3. Legend Standard 4 - recently bought for a specific project & loving playing a 4 string again; 4. Performer 5 - the only passive one, it lives at home and is my go-to practise bass.
  9. They're so good I now have two. One lives with my gig gear, the other in my little practise room. With the SmoothHound and wireless headphones, I have no problems with tripping over cables in a pretty small space. Wonderful piece of kit!
  10. [quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1485340494' post='3223192'] Absolutely rammed Closed the books in November last year and took the first 2018 booking a couple of weeks ago. We have a couple of good regular bookings standing by for any cancellations as they didn't move quick enough when I contacted them late last summer saying we were getting a bit busy. We usually do about 35/40 per year and currently have 47 for 2017. Its gone bonkers....... And the good thing is we've dropped all the venues that were historically less preferable (for various reasons) and now only have ones we either really want to do or pay exceptionally well. [/quote] Pretty much exactly what I was going to write! We're usually fully booked by late-Sept for the following year, and have already got a few in the diary for 2018. We don't gig every weekend, but every weekend we can gig is booked.
  11. [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Just a quick acknowledgement of brilliant service from [url="http://www.smoothhound-innovations.com/"]SmoothHound Innovations[/url].[/size][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]My system developed a minor fault. After emailing Chris on Sunday night, and getting a reply the same night, I sent the transmitter back Monday 16th. Chris got it Tuesday, sorted the problem, sent it back Wednesday, and it arrived with me today Thursday 19th.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Absolutely fantastic! And it's a fantastic wireless![/size][/font][/color]
  12. Maybe I'm A Leo is a definite contender for me too, and Lazy from the same album has some wonderful bass work. But if I had to pick just one, probably Place In Line from Who Do We Think We Are.
