Got that, 6-months-time-for-a-change, type feeling I regularly get... Got a 6 month old Bass Terror 500, with the box and bag. In tip-top condition, gigged about 25 times with no issues apart from the little Orange power lamp has stopped working, although a quick google revealed that it might just need re-seating, which I'll try tonight and report back. £360 delivered, £350 collected. [color=#ff0000]Sale Pending.[/color] Tech Soundsystems ND410 - 4x10", 1200watts, 4-ohm, Neo loaded cab in a slightly staggered formation, so it's a bit taller and thinner than a regular 4x10. Very light, I can carry all my kit in one journey. It's in good condition, some scuffs to the grill, but otherwise fine. Comes with a fitted cover for additional protection. [color=#ff0000]SOLD.[/color] I'd be interested in trades as I gig every week, so I will have to replace both bits. Maybe something Ampeg/Markbass for the head and a 4x10/6x10 for the cab in Markbass or similar flavour. I'll get some photos up in a bit. -
You can play anything with a groove, as long as you play it tight and well! We've been throwing in some fairly obscure (not to music lovers, but to many of the general public) songs recently, like: (a Kiss cover) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcKOulyIAmQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcKOulyIAmQ[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z78PjvfCVTQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z78PjvfCVTQ[/url] and people love it as much as the more mainstream stuff we play.

I can't get past the singing...who pays money for that?
-
keep it quiet and you won't damage them, but you also won't get much bass out of a 3" driver...
-
Oh, it's water off a ducks back, to me. I love this place, the depth of knowledge is outstanding and I'll use and contribute to it as much as possible. The rest of them know full well, because I tell them, that this place has benefited the band financially and operationally on more than one occasion!

My trouble usually starts when we're having a practice and discussing equipment or something else and I say "...the guys on Basschat reckon....". Queue groans and moans...
-
I get roundly mocked when I mention Basschat, universally - Girlfriend ("...bloody Basschat, stop buying and selling stuff!"), band mates, work colleagues...

Nice one Ed, I'll give it a bash later.

How do you guys use Superior Drummer? Do you use the pre-defined loops? Create your own using the "draw" tool? Edit the existing ones? Trigger them with a device? Ta, Ben

Mike Vennart is selling his guitar amp, which would be cool to own as Oceansize were obviously an amazing band!

Covers bands "openers" what do you start with?
ben604 replied to witterth's topic in General Discussion
We open with The Chain (all of it!) for our more "classic rock" audiences, and Under the Bridge for the 2nd set or Cochise/Slither for our "heavier" sets, with Watching You by Kiss (although we play the Monkey3 version) for the 2nd set. -
I guess!

My mate is the bassist in Conan. They're proper doom, barely a distinguishable note played they're tuned so low! Just about to support Sleep in Scandinavia too..

I've got one of these kicking about doing nothing. It's in pretty decent condition, but is used. One of the zips gets stuck on a corner, so I close the zips to that point so they don't stick any more! They're £58 + £6 for postage at GAK. So how does £30 collected and £37 delivered sound? I'll get some real world photos up later on. [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/warwick-rack-bag-4u-rb24400b/7380"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/warwick-rack-bag-4u-rb24400b/7380[/url]

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1334651890' post='1619009'] Damn, that sucks. I had the same thing with GK with one of my cabs. Luckily a 2001RB into one 410RBH was plenty. These bloody endorsements, they're not all they're cracked up to be. [/quote] Ha! Be grateful, you professional types!

Surely they can source one "in the channels" or discount one that's in a dealers shop?

Met Antonio last night and sold him my Jazz Bass, he's a lovely guy, communicates well and I would have no hesitation in taking money from him again in the future!

I'll just qualify out rates, we're a 4 piece and we did start at £200-250 at most of our regular gigs, but we usually bring a crowd (and do increasingly so, locally) and we were getting an extra £50 from the landlord anyway. Now they just pay £300 every time we play and we ask for £300 for new gigs as most are booked on word of mouth reputation from other pubs/bands we know. I think bringing a crowd (where possible) makes a difference, if it's busy and buzzing, landlords get caught up in the moment and pay more. We've just ordered 50 t-shirts to give away to our regular fans, that should ensure they come to our gigs even [i]more[/i] regularly! More fans, more money!

£300 for a pub is our rate.

I'm contemplating selling my Geddy Lee. Really nice bass, but I've just bought a Precision which is doing the business at the moment and I could do with investing some moneys into the band. I've had it for about 12 months, gigged it fairly regularly (40-50 times) in that time and it's never missed a beat. Sounds great, is very easy to play, for me, as it has a nice slender neck. I've attached some photos, it has some wear and tear, nothing major, I can't see any breaks in the paintwork, but there are pressure indents and faint marks. I'm sure these would buff out given enough work. The photos exaggerate these greatly, they're barely noticeable in the flesh (unless you're looking hard obviously!) The strings are about 2 months old, and are probably Slinkys, but my memory is useless...still life in them. It will need to be collection only as I don't have a bag/box/case to ship it in. Just the bass, that's alls on offer! I bought it for £550, £475 seems fair. Not looking to trade for anything other than SM57s/58s/comparable vocal mics, or a Presonus StudioLive console!

Does everything really need a photo? If I put an ad up for a piece or rack equipment (like the Saffire Pro, I had up yesterday) if I say it's mint/as new/not a mark on it and it works, surely that's enough? If you have the level of trust to buy from someone on here, I think you're just as at risk if it has a photo in the listing. Basses and cabs, fair enough, there will 99% of the time be small blemishes to highlight, but I don't agree that [i]everything[/i] needs a photo. I'd buy from a thread with a stock photo.

Just check out the functionality on these, it's unbelievable. The iPad app looks particularly great. If we can afford one, I'm gonna buy an iPad too, let one of the WAGS control the vocal volume from the crowd on an iPad, instant and free sound engineer!

Bump. Sticking this on that 'orrible bidding site today...there's one currently at £320, so grab a bargain.
