+1. Hold On is a great song.

Well done everyone. Skol's stood out for me, and gets my vote.

Walking down the aisle was some Handel, but our first dance was 'I Surrender' by Suicide, surprisingly a truly beautiful song.

My little blues/soul combo is playing the Cricketers in Keighley this Friday, 21st June, from around 9pm. Come and say hello if you're out and about in Keighley.

Check out The Knitters - members of LA punk bands X and the Blasters doing skiffle/bluegrass/rockabilly stuff.

A cup of tea and a crisp buttie - white bread, butter, ready salted.

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1370276095' post='2098462'] Of all the styles that this picture seems to inspire and subliminaly suggest , I still have that country twang thing running through my head [/quote] I've got Ry Cooder's 'Paris, Texas' soundtrack running through my head, Must have a go one of these days.

Our first time at the Blues Bar in Harrogate. We haven't rehearsed with the drummer for a while (he gigs in the South West throughout the spring and summer) so the first set wasn't perfect, but the audience were appreciative. Second set was better and we had them dancing on the chairs by the end of the night. Great venue, I hope they'll have us back. The two Compacts, which I though might be overkill for the small venue, sounded great.

Tonight...

Whenever I'm using my Compact and there's a rattle, it's always something else in the practice room.

My little blues/soul/R&B combo, Motor City Blue is playing the Blues Bar in Harrogate this Friday. It might be overkill but I'll be taking both Barefaced Compacts. Playing from about 9:15 to midnight. Come and say hello if you're out. http://www.bluesbar.co.uk/ Martin[attachment=135172:MCB Blues Bar 4.jpg]

Another happy customer, small purchase (a capo) and all very slick.

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1367416475' post='2065362'] I think there is a Ron Carter tune in there somewhere.... Garry [/quote] Herbie Flowers, surely...

Yep, just do it, there's some good stuff there.

I have one which I use as a back up, for some rehearsals, and as a practice unit as you describe. It's excellent, and a no brainer at the price.

Genres/labels are very subjective, you just have to listen to the music and see if its what you want to play. To me 'indie' isn't really a genre, many styles of music can be described as indie, which I would interpret as 'independent, or outside the norm', which is again entirely subjective.

Bobbass4k's edged Bilbo's for me, just. I liked Skol's too. Well done to everyone.

My blues/soul/r&b/rock combo, Motor City Blue, playing at the Highfield in Idle tonight, 26th April, from about 9pm. Come and say hello if you're about. My dual Barefaced Compact rig will be in action. Cheers.

I agree re the upper mids (and the lower mids). I had a 700RB combo before the MB Fusion / MB200 and I'm sure its the 4 band tone control that gives all of these amps the great sound they have. To Ed S, I' going to be in Sheffield in the evening of 10 May and could possible let you have the MB Fusion to try for a couple of hours - get in touch if you're interested.

TomBowlus says something [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/gk-mb-200-part-two-849259/index7.html#post12324246"]here[/url] but I'm sure I can remember more - probably in that very long thread or the earlier one (link in post 1).
