After all the comments I had to watch it too, Awesome lol

What you have to realise with people like this is that their agenda is totally different to ours, I presume most of us agree that regardless of whether you play doom, jazz, indie covers, weddings or something so original no one knows what it is yet the aim is to entertain the crowd? We try and play to a suitable crowd to start with to increase our chances and learn the songs at practice to make it run as smoothly as possible, other than that it's a jam and the crowd should appreciate it for that. Now these guys are all about entertaining themselves so as long as someone is prepared to play bass, drums or sing with them then they are happy. There is a band near me where the whole band have this attitude which meens they gig regular too, I can't describe how bad they are but I have now refused to play on the same bill as them which I promise is not like me at all, they bring the whole evening down imo.

I have seen them twice since he went to Acoustic, both times he was still using his full GK rig

At 8 ohms that amp is probably putting out 150 watts too! Someone else had this and it was just a matter of knob twiddling as suggested above but I would go with musician 20s idea of getting another matching cab

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1353686225' post='1877485'] That's an industrial unit and so unlikely to welcome potential customers. [/quote] There is an industrial unit in Warwick that stocks almost everything mentioned in this thread

As always with these things the cabs on stage are mostly for the players monitoring as somewhere all them boxes need to come through the pa for people 30, 000 deep to be able to hear anyway. Flea has 7 cabs on stage totaling 19 drivers and 4 horns yet one tiny Mic on one of the 10 inch drivers, he is also galliens biggest name player but has no heads on show, just cabs.

Bit of a fizzy feeling in my gentleman's region as James May says!

Just one of those cabs is overkill for most gigs I have been there many times like everyone else, I can't imagine what a pair of them on both sides of the stage would be like! I would probably walk but take the vocalist and drummer with me, the guitarists are the easiest to replace anyway

Mine has never come loose but this thread has made me think it would be worth a checkup, thanks

Awesome but it plays with a pick (picks) so it will never be a pro player !

I'd just get a 2 band mm clone preamp, someone on here sells them for hardly anything, can't remember who? Such a simple circuit that it will be spot on, make sure the pickup is wired as parallel or even fit a push pull pot as a series parallel option

Having one class D lightweight head and one bass is very handy for gigging, I have four of the same bass and three Genz heads now as that setup is so practical

I presume so yes. The local was put into all the nerves from my neck after i was ut out under the general so it was limp from the shoulder down, like an elephants trunk swinging

I was a bit out of it still when they let me WALK out last night! Hopefully worth it to have the specialist surgeon do it rather than an emergency patch up job when it happened. I had a general and a local so the bones could be drilled, the local anaesthetic lasted until tea time today so my arm was just hanging limp too. Best wishes with the leg though

Well my hand was only held on by the small bone (ulna?) as the end of the big one (radius?) was blown clean off, the specialist operates from a different hospital on Tuesday's, I did it on Saturday so I presume they just decided it was better long term for the hand surgeon to do it yesterday rather than someone else doing it as an emergency on the Sunday as first planned. Everyone else having ops were clearly people that had been on waiting lists for weeks, the only downside (and I'm still very grateful to them) was that I'd say it was border line for the day surgery really, I think I should of been in overnight to be honest on a normal ward. As I said I am grateful for them slotting me in to the specialist surgeons schedule though and I'm much better now. My arm hurts like feck and is as big as a house though, that's not their fault though I electrocuted it all by myself! Fingers crossed you will be sorted soon

They are good and easily modable, I have one of their guitars.

I see you have a fretless, bit of Pino?

Genz Benz NeoxT you know it's the best

I used the 79 in anger last Friday, it sounded awesome! Bottom end is absolutely killer pre EB basses do appear to all be quite different especially the neck profiles and frets, unlike Fenders of the same era though they are all good!

IMO as long as its a good neck then low C, low B or high C should all be possible with minor adjustments that we should all be able to do at home

Yes

Just a quick update to say I'm alive and bolted up Hurts quite a bit but I could be dead so just got to keep on going, my arm is huge! Thanks again everyone and stay safe.

Some DIs are just noisy anyway, but a squirt of servisol in there won't hurt it at all.

Looks like there are quite a few of us idiots on here
