I've rehearsed exclusively with a JamHub for around six years now. The amount of time and money and effort it's saved is incredible. I'm not sure I'd go back to live rehearsals ever again. Such a shame the company has folded

I think I joined bassworld in about 2003/4, I was a prolific poster for a time. Bass talk was kind of an interim measure until basschat came online. I remember waiting by the pc for it to come on, hence my low membership number. I looked at finnbass a bit too but it wasn't for me. I don't post so much these days as I find it's all been said, but I'm still here everyday, checking in.

I went to see placebo on Monday night, and they had support from a group called minor victories. The bass player was on the side of the stage in front of me, and obviously as it was the support there weren't too many people in front. So the drumming starts and the bass drum goes right through you as do the other drums. The bass player is standing there with a rather nice Jaguar bass, so i thought 'Nice bass, I wonder what that sounds like'. Then he started playing, and turns out, I was none the wiser. Pretty well couldn't hear him. [/quote] I was going to post this exact same thing!!! I was at the Birmingham gig. The kick drum nearly snapped me in half!! Minor victories reminded me a lot of Catherine wheel.

[quote name='Cato' timestamp='1480202648' post='3182552'] Guitars are easier to put out of tune. Solos that involve a lot of string bending will do it, serious use of the whammy bar will do it faster. When I saw the Eagles after their reformation all of them changed guitars after every single song, I saw Placebo a couple of years ago and they were the same. Having said that I saw Robert Glasper recently and his bass player had two backups on stage but only used the one bass for a 2 hour+ set, retuning very quickly every half hour or so, so I'd guess the spares were only there in case of string breakages or electronics failure. [/quote] Until recently I played guitar in a placebo tribute band. There was a lot of swapping. mainly for songs that needed a jag for playing behind the bridge as opposed to the iconic SG. I did take about six basses once, just cause I could. Never again. One spare tunes and close by but that's it.

It's not a 60's reissue. I've owned a few. The truss rod should be in the body end of the neck and the pickguard should be a mint colour, it does have the right holes though hmmm

I wrote this ages ago, but I'm still with the same rig http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165022-new-amp-momark-plus-amp-historyreviewpics-lots-of-pics/
