Amazing amps, i'm doing a club tonight (approx 200 people) with just a vocal PA and will see how the WB-100 handles it volume wise. Backline only but i'm taking my Mpulse600 along just in case. We are looking at sorting PA out to get everything thru it. QSC 15's 3 way cabs on the med sized PA. If we need to use our QSC Bass bins we need to hire a van so its a bit of trial and error at moment. This will be its big test for me. If it handles this size venue it can do anything. I love the simplicity of the WB-100. Dave

Nice mid punch coming thru @WoT. Can you remember where your EQ settings were for that tone. Enjoyed the song too, been a while since i heard that. Dave

He has a big coat

I get the feeling you want an unlined fretless. Maybe santa will be good to you Dave 😂

Always thought the old Squier jazz had a nice tone and i reckon it was down to the resin boards. Dave

Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have always made it clear that KISS was a business. They've made a good living out of KISS and they have a huge global following. Cant fault them for that. Lot of bands would love to have played the venues they've played and earned that kind of money. Takes a lot of work at the outset. Have to say i'm not a huge fan but i do like some of their albums with Destroyer being one of my all time fav albums. Can't say i'd buy an axe bass or something like that but i did like the Staccato bass he used once. I did buy a Geddy Signature bass (CIJ version) and i'm a Rush fan but it was in a sale and had better reviews than the US versions so it was a good buy for me. Its still one of the best Jazz basses i've ever played and there's been a few. Amazing tone and neck feel with a lovely low action. Its a keeper. Wouldn't buy one of the expensive custom shop signature basses tho. Silly money. Dave

How can this thread keep up with you @cetera

NOOOOOOooooooooooo.....................

I'm really curious to see where it ends up altho its a moving target and will probably outlive me Dave

This could end up a very high number. What made you think of this @ped ? 😀 Dave

I get that a lot with in house sound guys. Annoys the heck out of me. Dave

Depends on what bass i use but generally speaking i lean towards a more mid focused EQ for all basses. I dont like a booming bass tone. Also have same issue when standing in front of my cabs that the tone isnt what i like to hear but when i move out front the depth is there. Dave

Fender - improve quality control Mesa - start selling outside US Strings - make everlasting rounds Handbox - find a UK distributor to let people try them. General observation - we need more gear in shops across the UK to let us try it out.

Not good at all and enough to put me off buying from them now. Dave

Nice wee gig in The Cave in Paisley last night with Emergency Exit punk band. Turned out to be a good size audience. Lots of singing and dancing and a few fall-overs onto the stage area. No harm done but i had to stop playing to stop someone falling into me and the guitarist lost his signal when someone fell right over his monitor and pedals. Like any good band we carried on while he sorted out the problem. Complete Control by the Clash too which is one of my fav songs to play. I always worry when people start dancing while holding a full pint glass. Beer and mains dont go very well together. All in all a great night. Dave

200 gigs...............nice one. We are starting to get offers coming in now. We were just getting up and running when covid hit and killed our first year into gigs with the Glam band. Had to start all over again but we did change our guitarist and that's made a huge difference to the atmosphere in the band. We started on the Xmas songs on Fri at a last minute rehearsal. They are fun songs to play tho. Doing the Wizzard Xmas song this year so that's a nice one to do. Dave

After recent delivery issues at customs and taking 4 weeks to arrive i've decided not to buy outwith UK. Not so much the manufacturer or shop's fault but the delays and difficulties involved in returning have put me right off. Dave

Not good at all. I bought a Hartke Kilo from them when they first came out. It was faulty. I contacted them and the courier picked it up from the house free of charge. Only downside was i had paid with my debit card and was hit for exchange rates both when i bought it and on the refund. It cost me £35 in charges from my bank. Was about 10 yrs ago if i remember right. Sounds like the bass is 2nd hand and if not its a disgrace for any manufacturer to allow that out of the factory. I'm a big fan of Andertons but Bass Direct is where i've bought more gear from than anywhere else. Also used GAK and Guitar Guitar. Dave

Good news from our Sat gig that the lady has recovered and now doing well. Dave

Well that was an unpleasant experience for any gig. Playing with the Glam Rock band tonight at a St Andrews caravan park end of season gig. Friend of the band has a caravan there and asked if we would do it. Was a 2hr drive which was a nice run in the afternoon but i was pretty tired on the drive home. Lots of people bopping around on seats and lots of clapping and cheering after every song from the word go but no dancers. 2nd set managed to get to 4th or 5th song and was asked to stop as a woman had taken severely unwell. Lucky enough our singer is a nurse of 35 yrs and jumped straight into nursing head. Turns out the woman had taken a heart attack. She had a known condition but forgot to take her meds today. Our singer said the woman was responding and hopefully will recover ok. Ambulance was called and arrived within approx 10 minutes which was pretty impressive and they took over and moved her into the ambulance. By the time this had all happened we only had 35 mins left before closing time. Manager suggested we just leave it as the atmosphere had taken a turn for the worse and it wouldn't be right to carry on. We were agreed. We still got paid in full and were asked if we could do a return visit next year when the season opens up again. Dave

Have to say that is very nice. Your English is pretty good so dont be put of posting on here. Its always good to get everyone's thoughts and opinions. Dave

Yep that's where i got my VM4 and its glorious. Dave
