I did a Monte Allum mod to a Boss Compressor and was very happy with the results - it's easy to do and seemed to really clean up the sound.

My guitarist has started using a Blues Jr in place of his Twin and has never sound better. Lots of good ideas here - I particularly like the acoustic rehearsal one. Hope it works out Neil. If all else fails, I play a little rockabilly guitar...

I've seen them a couple of times at Ripley Blues Club in the last few years, with Derek the Draw. The way they work together as a band is really exceptional, and Derek is a very engaging front man. Well worth making the effort to see them, even if you're not that familiar with their stuff.

Morning all, my little blues/rock/soul combo are playing our last gig of the year at The Albert in Yeadon tonight from 9ish. Come along for some Fender + GK + Barefaced action. Cheers, Martin

Wouldn't say I was a fan, but 'Telephone Line' is a guilty pleasure that still sounds great after all these years.

Close enough to be tempting...do you know what time you'll be on? And do you think my 15 year old would be let in?

I have a 3 unit rack flight case into which my GK MB Fusion is mounted, and in it goes 2 x OBBM speaker leads, tuner, microphone, guitar stand, a couple of cables. Main cable goes in the bass case. Its very efficient, the only extra thing I have to carry (apart from speakers) is a bag containing mic stand, mic leads and power 4-ways. However I often think I'm missing the main benefit of a lightweight head and will probably get a laptop bag at some stage, or backpack designed for laptop like [url="http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/012593.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=cgid:8710495862|tsid:41408|cid:177977222|lid:61104563822|nw:g|crid:32474759462|rnd:1095358869250117264|dvc:c|adp:1o7"]this[/url].

Welcome Ed.

Another violinist here.

Not a bass one, but a peculiarity of the way they speak up here in Yorkshire, is the use of 'while' when they really mean 'until'. "I'm working while 3 o'clock" means "I'm working until 3 o'clock" in Yorkshire. Problematic when faced with a sign at a railway crossing that says "Wait while the red lights are flashing"...

I really like the samples, and the performance on Later was excellent. But the recorded version doesn't have the same impact for me, and the video is truly dreadful. That performance on Later was magnificent though, and I know I'm in a tiny minority thinking that.

Another plug for the MB Fusion. Where are you based? You'd be welcome to try mine out if you're nearby.

Just heard this from my daughter - very sad news. A true original.

i used a Barefaced Compact with my GK 700RB/115 and they worked perfectly well together. But once you've tried a Compact you'll start to think twice about humping the non-Neo cab about!

Sorry I didn't make it Clarky - long day in the office etc. I'm back in London at the beginning of November for a few days - let me know if you've got anything lined up. Hope it went well.

Battery in the bass? Does the battery affect the passive mode too?

Might try and make 9th, am in London that night, though staying nowhere near there. What's the closest tube station?

The great [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snooks_Eaglin"]Snooks Eaglin [/url]reckoned he knew 2500 songs. Could cause problems for his band members though, even one of the greatest bass players in the world... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGBKy5iMRBw Watch this clip, you'll love it.

What venue, and when?

Excellent letter, he is the epitome of cool. I saw him support Sonic Youth many years ago in some poorly named band who were good despite their name.

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1380278979' post='2223128'] Why couldn't it be just a week later? On the 9th i'm staying in a hotel in London within spitting distance of Denmark street!! [/quote] Me too. I usually go to the [url="http://www.alleycatbar.co.uk/"]Alley Cat Club [/url]on Denmark Street if I'm down on a Wednesday because they have an excellent jam night there. Or [url="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aintnothinbut.co.uk%2F&ei=d5BGUviHDMnT7AaVg4CYBg&usg=AFQjCNE6q7h7yY9jYHETzCPGvJLWxYKdtw&bvm=bv.53217764,d.Yms"]Ain't Nothing But the Blues[/url] on Kingly Street usually has 2 bands a night and is a friendly place. Good luck with the gig, LEB

Bump in case anyone in Harrogate fancies some Barefaced action tonight...

My blues/soul/rock combo, Motor City Blue are playing at the Harlow Hill Club this Saturday 28th September, from 9pm. The club is on College Street, off the Otley Road. First time at this venue for us - come along if you're in the area. Cheers, Martin.
