Ha ha....she was out Steve, no wife, no kids just peace and quiet.
Cheers for that Al, it was great to see you mate, pity we were crap in the first set, second set as usual was [i]much[/i] better. I kept standing on the lead into my floor tuner and pulling it out. I just couldn't work out why my sound kept going off , ah well, sussed it out in the end. Yeah the Fernandes didn't get a fair go last night, when the sound went off I quickly took it off and put the Kinal on before realizing it wasn't a bass problem, but a lead problem instead. Totally threw me, and it took a handful of songs for the panic to wear off and for me to settle down again. I played the Fernandes with the EQ flat, so it was a little uninspiring tone wise at first. but as soon as I played with the EQ at half time it sounded mega second half.
Superb basses both of 'em, and I'd be a numpty to sell either. Luckily no-one wanted the Kinal when it was up for sale, as you say Peter, I really should hang on to it, it's beyond compare to anything else I've owned.
