If there is enough space i might just move in myself and save on house bills. Dave

If for any reason you don't survive can i have your bass. Dave

I usually check my basses on the day of a gig to be on safe side but its a good point to check other items like leads etc. Dave

I always do my own and as lng as its not tight and you only use small adjustments at any one time and wait for neck to settle there really shouldn't be any great issues. If the truss is tight then leave well alone and seek professional help. Nothing worse than a tight truss Matron. I never touch nut or frets to be honest and would rather get a professional to do that. Dave

That explains it. I couldn't find anything when i googled it. Cheers Dave

This is the start of my apocalypse bag. My essentials you might say. After the essentials i'll throw in a torch and a tinfoil hat. I'm a Scot and that was embarrassing to say the least. You'd think we could spend our own budget on something worthwhile. Maybe they know Boris might nuke us if we get independance and its just preperation. Dave

Yep but still not 100% sure what the C means on the CR2032 On the DR2032 the D is for Duracell as far as i know

I'm no expert but does the C not stand for Compact ? Duracell version is DR2032

Yep i had forgotten all about this one.

That's an interesting bit of info. Slightly geeky but i like it Dave

Just bought an almost new Gruv Gear Stadium bag to carry all my spares. £60 including postage. Kitchen sink attachment is extra

What are the 2032 batteries for ? Bass & strings Lightweight back up amp (currently EBS Reidmar 750) Leads 9V batteries for basses and pedals AAA batteries for my wireless system Spare fuses various sizes but def 13A. Various tools incl screwdrivers flat and phillips heads small and med sized heads, pliers, knife or Swiss Army style knife etc Headache pills (you just never know when a migraine might come on) Water Small hand towel for drying my hands and head and wiping neck and strings if its a hot sweaty gig. Think that's it Dave

I'm also quite curious about how it sounded. Fantastic looking venue to be playing. Nice one. Dave

Spare bass and spare lightweight back up amp. And a spare strap. Dave

Not really any favoured choices and reckon i would decline them all these days but if forced to pick one then B With fuel covered its the same deal as A but you can benefit from a free rehearsal in front of an audience no matter how small they are it will focus the band to play better in front of people. Option C might be a close 2nd choice tho just to get some recognition on the circuit. Dave

That was very interesting and well done. Enjoyed that a lot. Dave

Any help to you ? We Dont Need Another Hero Bass by Tina Turnertabs @ Ultimate Guitar Archive.html

Bass sounds nice, deep and fat sounding. Band sounds first class. Great version of a very difficult song for a vocalist. Dave

What versions and what pups did you change to. ? if you don't mind me asking Dave

Played a gig in Gravesend back in 80's. Part of an English tour we arranged ourselves. Summer night so some of the guys actually slept under the van. It was a large quite high axled van. I had a broken leg so was allowed the comfy makeshift sleeping area in the van. The venue allowed us to leave the gear in the venue till morning. Played a support gig recently where changing room literally was big enough for 2 people to use. Was actually a cloakroom for staff jackets etc. The main band gave us the use of it as we were a Glam Rock covers band with all the gear that goes with the image. Still some of us had to change in the emergency exit stairs but a great night. I thought my days of changing in stairwells and corridors was long gone but obviously not. Some venues have offered us as a 5 piece band one room accomodation for the night. No idea how many beds were in the room but we declined and decided we'll just drive home after the gig. Approx a 2hr drive. Dave

I've never heard of them but then again i've never changed anything on a bass in 40+ yrs. This will be a new beginning for me

Headphones now sold out

I use my Mesa amp with a 8ohm cab so in effect only getting approx 300W max. I'm running it around mid-point on both Gain and Master with my active bass just back a touch from full on volume. That's in a Glam Rock band when using a vocal PA only. To be honest that's the same volume even when thru the PA as it matches drum volume. Not sure if that's an accurate way of calculating but its reasonably approx at 150W or thereabouts. With modern lightweight amps and cabs i prefer a minimum of 500W altho that alows a fair amount of spare volume if required. Dave
