  1. I use an early Ipad for my pub gigs. Am in 2 different bands, both with well over 100 songs apiece so reading is okay! Find it fairly easy to use / navigate - just save parts into a documents app and go from there. Main problem for an old gimmer such as myself though is screen size - I'm at that stage where its quite hard getting the right distance to see the screen perfectly. Guitarist in the band uses a laptop with a bigger screen which is easier to see, but only works well with laptops where the screen opens 180 degrees flat. Ironically I always bring backup pad with me just in case though..........
  2. I usually get boxes of 20 Duracell Procells off ebay - around £14 delivered, use by dates good for around 3 years, job done.
  3. Great basses these, just trying to convince myself I don't need another.....................
  4. Just putting myself out there for anyone needing a dep in August / September 2015 and possibly after that too. I've lots of experience with function bands as well as pub outfits. Great busker, can read simple parts and sing backing vox . Good gear (Fender/GK),own transport & reliable with no issues (this is beginning to sound like a dating ad!). Based in East Yorkshire but will travel for right gig(s). Cheers, Pete.
  5. May well be worth investing in a wireless system. Great for soundchecking as you can hear for yourself what is / is 'nt going on. Samson Airline ones can be had s/h for around £60, useful bit of kit for the dosh IMO.
  6. Well interested in this, just the common old fart question - any idea of the weight please?
  7. I've used Strings and Beyond a few times - great prices / service / delivery etc. www.stringsandbeyond.com
  8. Whilst I agree somewhat with the 'seperates' posts above, I've nothing but praise for the Yamaha EMX mixer amps - mine does 500 watts a side and is plenty loud. Great for pub gigs with the right cabs.
  9. Damn the Torpedos era - Refugee, Here comes my girl etc. Great album/songs.
  10. Don't know if they are busy, but The Blueflies from York are a great band, details here [url="http://www.theblueflies.com"]www.theblueflies.com[/url]
  11. Don't SKB offer some form of 'lifetime' warranty? Our drummer made a claim on an SKB trap case and it was sorted quickly. Just sayin.....
  12. Looking at the 'strings ie' site, am a bit confused as to why a single pack of D'Addario EXL170's is £14.80, yet a twin pack is £36.79!! I usually buy strings once a year from this place [url="http://www.stringsandbeyond.com"]www.stringsandbeyond.com[/url] Even after allowing for postage / possible duty they are still good prices - e.g. D'Addario twin packs $23.99.

    Any idea of the weight please? Ta.
  14. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_vCqt65HA0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_vCqt65HA0[/url] Sublime.....
  15. Great basses these - any idea how heavy please?
  16. May be interested in the cabs - pics would be great!
  17. Early Danelectro Longhorns did n't have a truss rod either - blimey!
  18. Think a small number of the original MM USA Sub basses were available as passive along with the more common active models - maybe worth checking out which pots/wiring were used in those?
  19. Easy tiger.....................
  20. Thanks mate, but a tad too meaty for my knackered shoulder. Good luck with the sale, great deal for someone & looks a beaut too.
  21. Any idea on the weight? Cheers!
  22. Also there are a lot of fake Duracells around, especially on t'internet.
  23. PM sent.
  24. Gutted. Saw The Everlys a couple of times when they were over here, (with Albert Lee on guitar) and they were amazing. Their influence was massive as stated in previous posts. RIP Phil. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkFcQRiFL68[/media]
