I think where I went wrong was wearing my Wham - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go T-shirt I just thought being a big band from the 80's they would get it and we could get down on it together I even ironed it and washed it with Daz but clearly this was the wrong approach I'm going back to jeans and t-shirts and scruffy hair from now on. Sod em

Thanks Thunderbird.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1333549486' post='1603379'] I look at it like this... very good experience for our next auditions, no? They should be a breeze by comparison! Edit: Hope you're OK, mate. It took me a day or two to get over it! [/quote] HAHA yeah true

Thanks everyone. Feel pretty deflated but oh well, onwards and upwards as they say

Well, just had the email telling me that I am out of the running now Oh well, I was expecting it to be honest and happy that it seems I got down to the last 15 or so. The email was very nice saying that I am a fine bass player and played really well in the audition so I gave it my best shot Good luck to anyone left on BC

Thanks again everyone for the good luck wishes. Everytime I log into my emails, I am expecting the thanks but no thanks email so yes just a little bit tense here.

[quote name='i play in N #' timestamp='1333467593' post='1602143'] well it isnt me, i finally got my e-mail from them, so good luck to the rest who hav'nt heard yet , or at least not posted it up yet [/quote] Unlucky I have still not heard anything back yet so I have everything crossed now

[quote name='thunderbird13' timestamp='1333361014' post='1600425'] Hold on , Billyapple, Discreet, Bluray and Linus27 all managed to get an audition with NMA - I am seriously impressed well done guys and Linus fingers crossed [/quote] Don't forget Subaudio although not sure if he got an audition or not.

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1333304706' post='1599818'] Here's my latest toy, bought from Stealth on Basschat. It's a 2003 Fretless with the most wonderful figuring on the neck and a superb bass to play too [/quote] Blimey Nick, that is gorgeous in a big way. Hope you like and stick with it. Very sweet looking bass indeed.

Thanks guys, fingers crossed here also

I'm a little worried here. I was also NMA bass player for half an hour yesterday afternoon yet I have not heard anything back yet. My audition went very well and I actually got to play a forth song, "White Light". So I guess no news is good news for me then. Fingers crossed but not expecting to get it.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1332951773' post='1595448'] hmm ok, I have two amps 400w and 550w at 4 ohms and weigh 20lbs max so if I need something smaller and compact will keep the Reidmar in mind. Will see how their history pans out as in no rush, atm [/quote] I just played the Roundhouse in Camden with the Reidmar and one 8 ohms cab so thats 125 watts and I needed to have no bass through the foldback monitors and the amp was set at about 2.5 on the volume. I even turned it down at one stage I think we have all been misled a little with big numbers and low outputs from recent years with these small amp heads where as the Reidmar is much more old school and more accurate with its figures..

[size=5][sub]Lee bought my Washburn AB10 acoustic bass. Great communication, kept me up to date and paid when he said he would. Also let me know the bass arrived safe and sound. Top guy and very reliable. Cheers Lee.[/sub][/size]

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1332749338' post='1592321'] Glad they went well Michael. Must have been a fantastic week for you. Its nice that things are going well now. Ill be ordering a copy of the album when i get paid this week. [/quote] Cheers Dave, yes it was quite amazing. Cheers for buying the album at the end of the month. Would love to get some feedback from you once you have listened to it. Going to send you a PM later also

Just a bit of feedback with regards to using my EBS Reidmar and single EBS Classic 112 cab whilst on tour supporting Paul Weller at the Roundhouse in Camden this week. This is the first time I have used it at a proper gig rather than at home and I can confirm it performed amazingly. If anyone is in doubt about the volume or output of this little head then please don't. It is so loud that I needed to not use any monitors and I only had the gain set at 12 O' Clock and the volume at 2.5. You can see my settings in the second picture. Gain and Compression at 12 O' Clock. Bass is set flat, Mids and Htz at 10 O ' Clock. Treble flat and bright is off and the volume at 2.5. It is uber loud and sounded great. Anyway, here are some photos of it in use

Just got back from being on tour with Paul Weller, supporting him at The Roundhouse in Camden. Whole week was a blast and such a wonderful venue. The entire crew were so helpful and friendly and looked after us no end. A few celebs were there over the course of the week including Noal Gallagher, Bobby Gillespie to name a few but the best was Jay from Inbetweeners. So wanted to say clunge but probably very un-original. Anyway, the EBS Reidmar 250 and Classic 112 was simply awsome. Here are a few piccies.

My band Cow are supporting Paul Weller at the Roundhouse in Camden on Tuesday 20th March, Wednesday 21st March and Thursday 22nd March. We get allocated two tickets per night per band member. I have two spare tickets for Wednesday if anyone here would like them. All I need is the names of the two people who want the tickets. Now for the catch They are not totally free. When you collect your tickets from the box office, there is a charge of £10 per ticket which will go to one of the charities nominated by Mr Weller on the day. So, still not a bad deal really. Anyway, I thought I would offer them here to fellow basschatter's so if anyone wants to go, then drop me a PM. First come first served but I may also have two tickets for Thursday but I won't know until tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have ordered a set so once installed I will let you know what I think.

Hi Hutton, thats great, thank you. Yes you are correct as I checked out the pickups in both the 62 re-issue and the 57 re-issue. The 62 has the original/vintage pickup and the 57 has its own 57 style pickup. I think I will go for a set of these pickups after all the great feedback.

Congrats Clarky, they sound and look like a cracking band. With your big blonde bonnet of hair, you should fit in perfect with the two blonde girls Keep us updated please on how it goes.
