I believe so, yes....

I never make New Year resolutions.....especially regarding not buying gear... Good job really as I have a new Spector incoming within the next fortnight! lol! 😁

The band name/date/venue on the supplied set list needs to line up with the performance reporting by the venue, be this direct from the venue or on internet advertising etc.

As someone who works for PRS and has worked on live music teams I can tell you that we easily spot stuff like this and put it to one side unpaid until further information is received. Anyway, I can't imagine why you would want to rip off your fellow musicians/songwriters..... and I'm sure you'd appreciate it if someone played one of your songs somewhere and told us about it so you could receive your money....

Ampeg SVT III (3) Pro Bass Amp. Fantastic industry standard original issue US-made Ampeg 'Hybrid' bass amp. Not a Chinese reissue.... Get all the tone without lugging a massive all-tube SVT head around! I used this amp for a few years on occasional live shows and it never let me down. It's been sitting unused in its flightcase (included in auction) for a while now as it has become surplus to requirements. Powers up, works fine and sounds awesome, especially when using the controls correctly (something many SVTIII Pro users don't do!). Hook it up to an efficient 4ohm cab or load, run the Master near max, add the EQ channel in (flat or to taste) for an extra volume boost and use the input gain to control your overall volume and this is a VERY LOUD BEAST! Also, be aware that Tube gain is engaged at COUNTER-CLOCKWISE not clockwise! Specs: RMS Power Output (8 Ohms): 275-Watts RMS Power Output (4 Ohms): 450-Watts Preamp: Tubes (3 x 12AX7) Driver Tubes: 1 x 12AX7, 1 x 12AU7 Power Amp: Solid-State Tone Controls: 3-Band Mid Tone Control: 5-Position Graphic EQ: Yes, 9-Band Ultra Low/High Boosts: Yes Balanced Line Out: Yes, Pre/Post with Ground Lift and Level Effects Loop: Yes Preamp Out/Power Amp In: Yes Dimensions (W x H x D inches): 19 x 3.5 x 15.5 Weight: 26 Pounds Looking for a very fair £350 please. Paypal (you pay fees), direct bank transfer or cash on collection please. Collection from Woking/Guildford preferred but will courier for £25. Please see my extensive positive feedback history for assurance of a clean, honest transaction.

Disappointing experiance with new basses.

Spector QC is second to none... and then Barnes & Mullins do their own checks... and I expect Bass Direct did the once over too. Enjoy your new bass and welcome to the 'club' :) -
I'm already in the process of purchasing that one

It's all the people who bought Mesa gear in the Guitar Guitar sale now having to sell stuff to pay their VISA bills

Just discovered an old German rock band (with British vocalist) called "Lucifer's Friend". Enjoying their pomp/classic riffing rock, particularly their late 70's/early 80's material....

20 gigs last year, 18 in theatres & 2 function deps. 22 theatre gigs and 2 function deps currently booked in for 2020. Just the way I like it..... I have no desire to play pubs or smelly club gigs at midnight anymore. Did that for 26 years..... eeeurghhh....

It was indeed a bit slim! lol! Apparently it's getting smaller every year.... along with the 'budget'.... !

I depped with SE England corporate/function stalwarts the Co-Stars at Eastbourne's stunning 5* Grand Hotel. Great fun evening & I was required to wear a tux & panama! 😉

Great bassist! Here he is, playing the basslines of the fantastic Tiran Porter, soon after Tiran left the Doobies....

Spector NS2-J USA Price Drop £1400 Sold pending

Nothing to add really..... except to say that the bloke from Crowded House also used them... as did many of the late 70's/early 80's US session aces (Chuck Rainey included)....! Mid 80's-early 90's (Kramer-era) marketing targeted the rock fraternity and that has stuck. It could be said "for good reason" as nothing sounds better than a grinding Spector on those classic rock albums.... but those in the know recognise that they are much more than just 'one-trick' ponies, especially players in the US. Without the marketing reach in Europe, W*rw*ck cornered the market (& marketing)...

Guilty as charged m'lud....

I posted it in this thread....

Good point.... I try to do my bit in that regard. I must be owed a brewery by now! lol!

Warwick to become 'Exclusive Licensee' to Sadowsky!

..... and then he'll bolster his already burgeoning 'endorsee' list by continuing to give them away for free to every new young bassist in a Nu-metal band while making people think they wanted/bought them 😁 -
These guys.... the finest new 'yacht rock' - reminiscent of Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald-era Doobie Brothers, Toto etc! and this fantastic German/UK group from the late 70's who sound like a mix of Steely Dan, Tommy Johnston-era Doobie Bros, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc.... The first 4 LAKE albums are ESSENTIAL for anyone of that musical taste! @silverfoxnik & @TrevorR - I think you'll enjoy these guys! Here's their 1st album: Here's their 2nd album: Here's their 3rd album: and their underrated 4th album. Check out the fantastic chorus bassline on the opening track!

My favourite..... just beautiful..... but it needs to be longer... and with a properly emotive guitar solo on the end! Also love this..... Best Christmas bassline has to be this.... Always had a soft nostalgic spot for this one.... ....and this one... because, well, it's the lovely Kate :)
