  1. So they are providing half a PA then? No desk and no monitors. It would work out quite nice for me actually,main outs from my xr16 to the in house kit,our two db monitors as normal for vocals and drum fold back then our rcf 735 powered tops into the spare aux outs positioned strategically Is nothing but your main send going to our front of house system, yes.
  2. Once you have learnt all the functions the phone is ok, takes a while to get the hang of it but once you have its ace.
  3. If only someone had told Bernard Edwards, or Flea or Mark King or Nicky Sixx etc etc etc etc etc..... lol
  4. I prefer to use my big Samsung tablet to my phone, Apple looks different to Android and laptop is different again with LOADS of extra features.
  5. Unless you play 70s bar band rock you should be in the basement anyway.
  6. My favourite amp is a di box and a monitor set up by someone else, just leaves the one knob playing it, me
  7. [quote name='zbd1960' timestamp='1468791820' post='3093404'] Sounds like you were talking to Helen... She sold me my Jay Haide cello and Dorfler bow. If you talk nicely they will cut a bit of a deal. They have a bass room (and a cello room...) [/quote] It was indeed Helen hopefully they will look after me.
  8. Harmonicas are no problem imo, it's the twats that stand there blowing in them that cause the trouble!
  9. They are certainly delicate beasts aren't they?! I've no idea how normal a hump is so I'd be interested to know too.
  10. I cant get on with P basses, I have decided I only active five strings, neither things suit a P for some reason imo. I play quite an eclectic mix in my covers bands, I can get a suitable tone with playing style and cutting/boosting the treble.
  11. We've been asked by a paying punter to add all the usual crap for their wedding later this year, they are paying so that's that. The songs are actually mostly ok really just done to death, brown eyed girl etc.
  12. Even though im terrible with the misery stick I have a real thing for them, that looks like a lovely one! Enjoy.
  13. I'll report back, she will be doing it this week all being well, has your wood cracked or just a gentle hump formed? Mine is quite isolated to the post area, must be really tight and this humid weather has not helped I bet. I'm going to let her show me the basses they have on sale when I collect it, could be an expensive mistake!
  14. [URL=http://s997.photobucket.com/user/stingraypete/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-07/20160716_102806_zpslovuos3y.jpg.html][IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-07/20160716_102806_zpslovuos3y.jpg[/IMG][/URL] She's going to shorten the post as we think it's too long now the body has started to settle, it's having a once over and some shellac in the crack after, fingers crossed it will be ok, not a cheap hobby though eh?!
  15. Ta mate I've just dropped it off at Tim Tofts, bit like taking a Kia Picanto into a vintage Ferrari restoration specialists!
  16. Just noticed some crazing on the rear of my Gedo, thought it was a nice bit of age related checking beginning then I realised it was directly behind the sound post! It's a solid top ply back bass so that must be tight as hell in there right? I'm hoping a shave of the post and possibly relocating it a tad will solve it our do you think this is really bad news? It's never had a pro set up so now might be the time for a full examination.
  17. We have employed a one person can veto a song choice rule in our band, we've decided that there must be enough songs that we all like and hopefully the audience will too, it's a bit of an odd set but it's getting tweaked at each gig.
  18. Oh yes I have heard of the mine, I've transferred my savings there for safe keeping.
  19. You can't move here in Nigeria for princes, we keep trying to give away our money but everyone thinks it is a scam.
  20. I really like it, I wish I was a left hooker now!
  21. I read it as Roy Cropper!
  22. If you send me the cash via western union transfer I'll forward you the goods straight from Nigeria dave_bass5 :-)
  23. I've never managed to make the correct call as to wether the audience will like the band I'm in at the time, boring old blues band for a school/college leaving doo,they loved us! Same the other way, 80th birthday with an indie rock covers band, the dance floor was full all night! Flip side too where I thought we would do well we haven't, funny old world.
  24. I've got a fairly big Genz Benz rig and a pair of RCF 735s I've never tried the pair of 735s as a bass amp, I can only imagine epic and heft would be even more than the Genz!
