Evening all, am posting on behalf of a mate of mine... [i]"The Fraser Tilley trio (a 4 piece!) are now looking for a soul and groove bassist who can also throw in some blues shuffles and swing. Originals set with probably 30 mins of covers thrown in (aka Marvin Gaye type grooves). 2 to 3 gigs a month in non pub venues - members clubs, wine bars, brasseries etc. Also corporate/private function/festival gigs. Most gigs within an hour radius of Swindon (unless we get invited back to France this year!!). For more info see [url="http://www.myspace.com/frasertilleymusic"]here[/url] for biogs & demo's (altho' mellow non groove stuff only! - hence there will be a summer visit to the studio!!). Also on [url="https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=122009887809864"]Facebook[/url]"[/i] As Fraser hasn't mentioned it, I would be so bold as to say that age is probably not hugely important, your own gear and transport probably are, plus a good feel and general laid back, soulful grooviness... Bass heaven? I reckon and would love the gig but am too busy with my other bands It's probably best to message Fraser directly via myspace or Facebook although I'm happy to pass on his contact details if you're not inclined to either website, drop me a PM. I would add that Fraser is a great guy and always puts on a good show, I've depped with him myself and had a great night, was at The Rattlebone Inn in Sherston, a lovely boozer! Cheers Ieuan

[quote name='Gareth Hughes' post='1153632' date='Mar 8 2011, 01:01 PM']Bought a Digitech Bass Synth pedal from Ieuan. Boxes? We don't need no stinking boxes. This thing had it's own customised box within a box, surrounded in reams of bubblewrap and tape. Anneka would have been challenged. Top bloke and top service.[/quote] Just noticed this post Gareth, made me chuckle! Hope you've managed to get into the parcel by now, perhaps I went a bit overboard?! Have a good weekend mate Ieuan

[quote name='ficelles' post='1194217' date='Apr 10 2011, 01:03 AM']Anyone know a good db luthier/tech in north Devon? I want to lower my action a bit, not quite up to re-profiling a bridge myself. Oh as an aside I had fun half hour earlier with the WAV through a Rocktron Vertigo Vibe I picked up cheap on fleabay - trippy! ficelles[/quote] Not sure about North Devon but [url="http://www.waghornguitars.com/"]Tom Waghorn[/url] is very good in Bristol

[quote name='Salt on your Bass?' post='1180138' date='Mar 28 2011, 09:58 PM']Im looking for something along the lines of the akai unibass, octave up and 4ths or 5ths harmonies with decent tracking. I wondered if these could do the job? Im after something smallish footprint. Any input or suggestions welcomed. Cheers[/quote] Owned a PS5 for a while, was great fun for whammy-esque octave-ups and also the odd dive bomb too! Used it for lazy but really smooth portomento slides, from a semi tone to full octaves (I think you can get more than an octave out of it but not sure) I also used mine in a latch type fashion so depressing the footswitch was like pressing a Floyd-Rose whammy bar and releasing it did the opposite, back to normal. Was useful only when used sparingly as (for the settings I used anyway) if pressed continually it lost alot of bottom end but I'm not sure other settings would have the same issues Tracking was great for what I used it for, hope this helps
