  1. Let me know as i was just checking flights to Hamburg
  2. But why not go for a headless design and neat tuners at the ass end ? maybe Mk2
  3. I believe the idea is you report it lost or stolen electronically and at will shout for help via blue tooth to anyone with blue tooth it passes on its journey to the porn shop. It relies on a good % of the population to be signed up to be most effective
  4. hubrad touched on it - volume. There is a point a which a room will bite back and all band members need to recognise that point and turn down. I have done a few gigs with that pissed off look on my face, not good for the punters to remember you by. two different occasions come to mind, a masonic dinner in an oak paneled room, I had read up on acoustics due to owning the PA and one suggestion was reducing the number of sources of prorogation, = to place both PA speakers together on one side of the stage - crazy - No. it worked a treat and after that my guitarist was open to any silly trick i came up with as long as he didn't have to turn down. So bass and guitar swapping sides is a good move 50/50 chance of shifting troublesome frequencies somewhere else. 2nd occasion was college dinner dance in Oxford, we had to play dinner music painfully quiet for an hour - we sounded great, after dinner tables were moved and we launched into our pop set - it was bloody awful. The hard stone surfaces were not able to handle it it it it it
  5. Ya Bono was pants, I called the wife in and said listen to this guy Corey was cool
  6. Anything sub a £1k is a gift for a schack, I've owned two 5's still waiting for them to come back up on here
  7. Thanks for the youtube clip I did not know the whites sounded different from blacks,from that video i prefer the whites more piano like harmonics. Having owned a Rob Allen with these strings I have put some on my status 5 electro. But had to change the machine heads to hipshots as these strings are real thick so be warned if putting them on none P type bass with big open tuners. I also made a new nut from a piece of yew
  8. Love the MB500 fusion for big band jazz gigs wish it had a foot switchable mute and mid selection rather than just channel - but always seem to use my Markbass for pop function gigs, if i do go with the GK I find i need little or no mid cut to maintain the upper mids in the band mix at gig volumes
  9. The only amp i feel i never want to get shot of these are great for doubling different bass guitars just jump on the foot switch to change channels e.g. from finger style to funk or just different gain settings for soloing - easy. someone will be very happy - good luck
  10. My lastest full rig, with my new Cabs Rosie and Jim . As these are 4 ohm I use the MB fusion for one cab and DI it as a valve preamp into the Mark Bass to run the other cab. Works a peach. sorry for photo quality.
  11. Plug the TV into the sound limiter socket
  12. We actually had a late Club booking for Saturday, 6 days notice as a band had let them down . We got there and the guy said don't think their will be many in tonight because of all the sport and the weather. We started the 1st set to one guy, end of the set we still only had two families. After the match others came from the bar but we still only got 30 tops Clubs are struggling too, but will subsidise bands on a Saturday from bar takings though the week. But it is mostly duos and discos now.
  13. Dood has a point and as a union member we will always use contracts, but we do not play pubs and I don't think they would want to sign up to the conditions, but that does not stop you producing your own contracts just to have the fee stated and start and finish times. I would certainly boycott the the place in future, and spread the word in favour of other pubs, they'll get the message.
  14. Hello from just outside just outside Oxford- shire
  15. I'm a wood man myself don't care for composite necks either, love the organic bond with mother nature from a nice piece of wood what did you think of the pretzel bass, very light but it had quite a bark and tone to it, may have benefited having a movable pickup for darker tones. But impressive
  16. Order them from Status some of the best half wounds i have used and cheaper than most.
  17. I enjoyed it, glad to see Schack and Lefay there, my main reasons for attending. Did all the main stage events, sorry didn't get to say hi to any of you guys, didn't take my lanyard. oops! but here is a pick of me with a rock chick. So you can say oh thats what the ole buggggr looks like. [attachment=214729:rock-chick.jpg]
  18. This is what happens if you take that agency holiday gig on the Med, just to get away from a messy divorce. Ten years later you are still there playing the same set 6 times a week. All residences should come with a health warning
  19. 40 years now doing functions and weddings, Love the challenge to be the best, and that's about pleasing people, not just bride and Groom but Gran and Gramp and their little nephews and nieces who will be the only ones on the floor for the first 1/2 hour until you can actually find the bride to come and do their first dance. As said above a long time away from home, some are great some are shttt. But learning new chart material and playing stuff you would not otherwise play is great.
  20. Just sold Marcin my 212 Cab, Very Nice Guy, good Communication and prompt meet up miles from both of us, with Cash on handover, deal in confidence.
