  1. And he’ll probably argue his point by saying that he’s still alive which proves it, I know, sadly, and to my shame I’ve been there (in my much younger years) and would have had the same attitude.
  2. It’s great when people at that level take the time to advise on gear etc, well done to him.
  3. Really like that Tim, if there’s an album on CD format on the way let me know when it’s out please. Great bass sound too, btw, the Ric really works on that track.
  4. The V4B/SVT212 is fine in big gigs with PA support. The bassist in a punk band I know quite well, Razors, has this set up and she never struggles for volume. She’s a traditionalist, has to play Fender Precision & Ampeg.
  5. Agree, bringing out a new product, especially a new series of such a well known/loved range as the ABM amps there def should a product demo video ready & waiting for launch day. From what I understand the guy who used to do GAK product demos is now with Ashdown, use his talents on this.
  6. He does live a fairly healthy life nowadays, think he’s had to admit to himself the time for wild living has passed. I just hope that when I’m that age I’ll still have the enthusiasm and energy that he has.
  7. Why not look at the Ampeg SCR-DI? It’s a great bit of kit and delivers Ampeggy goodness into whatever rig you already have. For the grind you just add in the scrambler section. I really like these pedals, it’s just instant Ampeg in a small box - ideal if your amp is quite clean when set flat. SVT3 is a nice sounding amp, but quite heavy & due to size a bit awkward to cart about too so would get in the way of the one-trip load-in. I couldn’t get any kind of grind from it though. PFs are nice sounding for cleans but could never get that lovely grind from them either.
  8. If I were 400 miles or so nearer I’d snap this up
  9. I like that Dave, my current Precisions being used herd is 3 x US & 1 x MIM My current Precisions in the cupboard for a rainy day herd is 3 x US And my up for sale herd is 2 x US & 1 x MIM
  10. Tech21 Para Driver v2 in good condition, gigged a lot but I look after my gear. Comes in the Tech21 tin. Very versatile bit of kit due to blend, sweepable/adjustable mids, hi-pass filter plus 3-band eq. Price includes delivery in the UK.
  11. From the new options listed I’d go for the Markbass 102P, purely down to it being two speaker cones so moving more air. All of the brands mentioned are good but I think this one would handle being a standalone cab better. I had one of the Ampeg 210AV cabs and whilst it sounded great, due to its very small size I wouldn’t have wanted to gig it on its own.
  12. Same for me, and happened on this by accident. As above at a sound check got a great onstage sound, went out front and was confronted by the boomy mush, so adjusted eq with bass down/mids up, sounded pretty rotten onstage, sounded excellent out front. This was in a covers band where backline covered the whole venue, so no FOH.
  13. Yeah, last time we were at Rebellion I spent more time talking to people & socialising backstage than I did watching bands. And when I did watch bands it was usually from side stage rather than out front as I found the sound to be better there.
  14. I liked the first bass sound better, second a bit full on for me though I can see/hear where that would fit nicely in a mix
  15. Nice frequency settings, plenty there to suit a Precision and a Jazz quite nicely
  16. Nowt wrong with The Frog Chorus, it’s a classic
  17. I just similar use these, and make sure I use the attached file to smooth down the nail afterwards
  18. Same as the OP, probably as I also got into music as a kid in the 70s but a big mahoosive 70s Fender or Rickenbacker headstock just looked the biz to me.
  19. I see what you mean, I reckon it’s a 42” scale done on purpose
  20. There’s a few on there that I mildly line some of their material, but aside from The Damned none I’d actually want to go to see live.
  21. A guitarist mate of mine who’s about 5’6” or 5’7” played bass on a gig when the bassist was unavailable and played an Epiphone Thunderbird. He said it felt like he was trying to do the Waltz all the way through the gig.
