Last Saturday, but still great fun. Forty years on did a gig with my first real (second actual) band, well guitar, bass & drums with our roadie/manager on vocals. ”You’re all a bunch of punks, so why’s he got a ****** haircut?” Was the cry at a gig in Reading many years ago 😱 Well we were and we weren’t. Spiky new wave three piece (so plenty of scope for me to ‘overplay’ to fill space) but with odd time signatures, and influences from XTC, Joe Jackson & Elvis Costello through to Bebop Deluxe, Wishbone Ash, Yes, Camel, etc.. Started with guitarist and drummer aged 17 in a country band playing WMC’s with an older guitarist and learnt our ‘trade’ then started on our own as a three piece playing originals on the pub circuit. Got together just before lockdown and did a short support set with my main band three days before the world stopped in 2020. Saturday was a longer set with another punky band joint headlining. Great fun, and like slipping on an old glove. Still so easy to get through songs, blag through covers, and get out of odd glitch with a knowing nod. Hopefully we’ll do it all again, it’s just such fun to bash out catchy short power pop originals, though ‘Do The Static’ remained as true now as it was then 🤦♂️5 points

Went to an open mike at the Earl Haig in Cardiff with Alex, guitarist in Bluesfire. Both very nervous as probably Cardiff's top blues rock venue and hoping to make an impression. Met loads of great musos and some really impressive music. We were lucky to find a great drummer (sorry didn't catch your name!) who knew our songs (Walking in my shoes, All your love, So many roads) and an ace saxophonist, Stuart who did a great job on so many roads especially some wicked call and response with Alex. Got a few nice compliments which was nice as there were some cracking basists there. Hopefully get the gig!4 points

Hey guys, following many legal fees from a custody battle, leaving me in a bit of financial ruin, I now have full custody over my son and need money so I’m seeking off a load of kit: The best 4 string I own!!!!! This thing is AMAZING even if I did build it myself. Originally it was fretless, but I fretted it up a few months ago as have no need for a fretless!! 2 piece (1 split) flame olive ash back which I hollowed out the bass side and the bottom horn for weight relief and tone 1 piece split highly figured quilted/flame/spalted maple top Bubinga board Natural to bluey/green burst with matching burst on headstock 1 piece 1/4 sawn maple neck with a bit of flame on it Glue in set neck 38mm nut Custom asymetric shape neck Bartolini Jeff Berlin pickups Hipshot Kickass bridge VVT controls Backplate painstakingly made out of an offcut from the body Fully shielded This thing sings like you would not believe and is without a shadow of a doubt the best 4 string I have owned (a litttle biased but it is) and I'm already regretting putting it up but needs must! The woods cost me £550 alone for this bass! It's stunning, sings like you wouldn't believe and has sustain for years!!!! price drop now to £1000as need it gone for lawyer bills urgently3 points -
For the last couple of months I've stopped practising with my bass rig and gone to using a DI and studio monitors. My previous set of Mackie CR4s died so I replaced them with these Tannoy 402s and I'm blown away by how great they sound. In a small room not only do they do a great job of not pissing off the neighbours but they actually sound better than a proper rig that has to sit on the floor firing at my feet. These things cost £150 for the pair which is unbelievable really - the footprint is minuscule and the reproduction quality is at (cheap) studio standard. I've never really understood the joy of enclosure simulation before but it's a amazing! Seeing as I've only actually played in conjunction with another human being a handful of times over the last three years this has proven to be one of my best investments for a long time!3 points

Having owned cabs priced from £50-500 I’ve grown the opinion that you get what you pay for. So I was considerably excited to partner my MB LM3 with an as new Barefaced Two10. Only the BF didn’t turn up until after I’d left for band rehearsal. Which put me in the disagreeable position of using the studio-provided bass stack. Yuck. A dusty old Ashdown 210 and an ancient Peavey 410, adorned with what looked like the remains of a melted plastic coffee cup, topped off with an unsavoury looking tatty Behringer Ultrabass head. With no alternative until I got home to welcome the BF, I reluctantly plugged in. Quelle surprise. Wonderful punchy gut thumping rock-toned bass goodness, even at volume. Once I tried the Barefaced I was impressed. But I have to say that if the studio stack also weighed 13 kg and not more like 70 kilos and I owned a small van and not a small hatchback, I know which rig I’d be gigging. Not knocking Barefaced, just saying there may be unexpected answers to kit needs. And price or even condition may not always be the decider. As with basses, try before you buy.3 points

That`s how I found - and stuck with - Ashdown, by a moment of serendipity. My preferred sound had been established by playing through an Ampeg SVT & 810, and no matter what gear I bought I couldn`t get that "slam" to the sound. But at one gig the provided rig was an Ashdown set-up, an ABM head with 2x15 cab. I`d never used Ashdown before so plugged my gear in, got a sound I liked and we started to play. And I developed that inside grin, the one that happens where you just get that wallop in your back from the sound of the bass, a feeling much like that Ampeg stack delivered. So by accident I`d found gear that would do what I wanted. Sure it was bigger & heavier than what I was using at the time (Aguilar Tonehammer & Barefaced Big Twin) but it was still doable.3 points

I disagree. In my opinion, both aspects are important. Of course it needs to be functional. But if it doesn't look good, you won't be inspired to pick it up, you won't want to be seen performing with it. Maybe we should buy our clothes blindfolded too? As long as it feels good and fits you well, who cares if your shirt has got the C word printed in massive letters on it?3 points

I think this is an early 90s Charvel going by the toothpaste logo. Not sure about the model, maybe 3b. Had been sprayed at some point in its life but I never minded as used it as a gigging bass. Seymour Duncan pick ups. In good overall condition. Bass now sold.2 points -

Fantastic UK built compact 410 cab. Rated at 1200w and 4ohm, it's an ideal one cab solution. Celestion Neo Speakers, with adjustable tweeter and PX2 3k5 eminence crossover. It's a really great sounding cab and you literally couldn't buy the parts to build this cab for the asking price! Comes in at about 23kg according to my bathroom scales, not featherweight but I can lift and carry with 1 hand. It's 60cm (w) x 66cm (h) x 43cm (d), so very compact for a 410! Has been gigged and has some road rash - the worst of which is pictured - but overall looks great and is really solid. I've just replaced all 4 rubber feet as one was missing when I got it and replaced all 4 with slightly larger ones. It's also just has a new Logo fitted which I got direct from Mike at Zoot who used to build these. I've gigged it for the last few months, but going more and more IEM and also have 3 different size Ashdown cabs I can use when I need them, so moving this on to make some space and raise funds for a decent wireless system. Would consider trading for a decent wireless set up, or possibly a 5 String Fretless. Pickup from Essex or may meet at a reasonable distance.2 points -

If I read it right this was a test on 63 people of which 8 were instantly thrown out for not meeting certain criteria, a further six experienced worse or same complaints and the rest reported some to much relief. This was measured by the participants picking one of six smiley faces going from happy to sad to angry. Asked once at the beginning of the series of acupuncture sessions, once after four sessions, once at the end of treatment and once after a year. End of treatment varied from person to person between 4 and 15 sessions. Important notes at the end of the text: results were optimal for persons that had experienced tinnitus for less than six months leading up to the treatment. Less so the longer someone had suffered from tinnitus. In conclusion, interesting bit of work on very few people for a very limited time. Needs peer review and extensive controlled repetition by other experts in the field.2 points

HI all, i am the friend StewBlack is referring to. Thanks for the suggestions. The Sound on Sound forum looks quite good for beginners (i.e. me). The VI one looks like it's aimed at professionals, which is way above my bedroom recording knowledge and posting stuff onto Bandcamp for free. Thanks again!2 points

I think this is the real point. In ideal conditions, with trained athletes, marginal gains win medals. However the Ashdowns and Peaveys are more than adequate for most bassists. To be honest the ABM series from Ashdown and the old Peavey Mk 4s are some of my favourite amps. Mesa and Ampeg might seem more desirable in a sort of reverse "Not Invented Here" sort of way and, especially the Mesa's have some unique features but my dad's 1960s Raleigh got him to work more comfortably that a Chris Boardman bike.2 points

I'm not a Led Zep fan but I know enough that the band refused to go on without John Bonham. Similarly I've a feeling the FF's will call it a day. TH was more than just the main drummer. He was a charismatic performer and TBH i don't know of anyone who could step into his shoes, the drummer role maybe but not the man himself.2 points

Not characterless so much as adjusted. Manufacturers who claim flatter response pickups will typically engineer the pickups so that the inherent peak that all pickups have is shifted to a part of the frequency spectrum which isn't as audible. Alembic soapbar pickups (AXY but also Fatboy) also have low windings for a flatter and broader response and, while it means lower output, the idea was that the lack of gain would be boosted by the onboard active electronics. Flatter response pickups are also ideal for filter based eqs so it all kind of ties together in a well thought out package, even if the actual engineering approach and some of the parts they use are getting a bit long in the tooth.2 points
