Ah, thanks, well fingers crossed whichever courier deals doesn`t take it straight to Sotheby`s.

Agree, I`ve a Sandberg Superlight being made at the moment, which Mark has arranged, when he receives it I`ll drive and collect rather than chance all this malarkey.

The thing for me is surely PF (and other couriers) have a database with the shipment numbers on in order to show "unclaimed" items and what has been done with them. Given that this was very recent how could the people handling the complaint not have located it.

I read somewhere a good while back that she like to write on bass.

I hope either Mark or Edlong21 call the police re this.

There are 2 pedals I like for this, TC Electronic Spark Booster and Ampeg Scrambler. The TC is very transparent, Ampeg adds a little to the tone but not much. If pushed I’d go Ampeg due to the blend option to keep the solid clean signal in there.

I was fortunate enough to play with the Skids, two things struck me, first Richard Jobson is such a nice bloke, second was that although I was never a major fan just how many of their songs I knew. If asked I’d probably have said 2 or 3 max but ended up knowing well over half their set. Sign of a good band that.

Very pleasant

Proving beyond reasonable doubt that I’m just not normal, I really like the Ashdown cabs, the ABMs especially so. I have had a fair few and do think that since the EVO-4 range they’ve really improved. They are a fair bit bassier than what comes out of the DI which in the past suited me as my sound had a fair bit of twang/gain/aggression to FOH so having a warmer presence on stage worked nicely, with FOH not having too many uncontrollable lows sent to them.

Thread resurrection, my classic rock band have decided to do this, what a song and what a bass workout. I’m up to about 3mins at the moment. I’ve not found any of the individual parts that taxing, but holy memory capacity Batman, remembering them all is just crazy. I’m sincerely hoping that the next 6mins or so just repeat the first 3mins twice again however I’ve a feeling that just ain’t gonna be the case. If I had any doubts as to how good a bassist The Ox was this has removed the last of them.

I used the sub generator very sparingly when doing In The City by The Jam, given much of the song is high frets having it just about on adds in some low end presence. Other than that I’ve never really been able to put it to regular use.

Of course, tho I’ve got to learn Won’t Get Fooled Again first, so I wouldn’t book the ticket anytime soon…….

In general I use the Shape function, then back off on the lowest frequencies to suit the venue. I know a lot of people aren’t keen on the Shape but it suits me nicely.

That’s great news and a brilliant turnaround from Barefaced.

I don’t think, in all my years of playing bass, that I’ve ever played through any SWR gear. Nothing to do with the gear itself, just none of the bands I’ve gear-shared with had any.

Good to hear

Thanks Dave, Burn is on my list to add in at some point.

Thanks, the Gates of Babylon we do is by Volbeat.

Had a great rehearsal with the classic rock band this evening. Keyboard player has just got himself a new keyboard and it’s really added to the sound. Went through the below and all went well.

I bet that was a great gig!

Very interested in this, an actual magazine much better than online for me.
