Good man Karl. You're in the right place. The enthusiasm for new gear will certainly return if you hang about for a while. Welcome back.

That looks great, love the simple uncluttered appearance.

Sounds good Mick.

Looks like a good un Karl.

An ancient Blackberry, oh you young whippersnappers.

Definitely a scam

That is rather lovely Nick.

There was a time when this really wound me up but I've now programmed myself not to worry about it.

Agree with Mr Icastle A couple of months down the line and those tracks that seem difficult/too fast etc. will be a breeze. Rise to the challenge bass sister

Enjoy the project, I've done a few over the years and they were all enjoyable and turned out really well. Was tempted to buy that neck from Rumple myself

Wouldn't it be prudent to get some advice from the surgeon/consultant, rather than us lot? I had surgery a few years back and about two weeks later, played a short set of about half an hour. I enjoyed it but that half an hour was more than enough.

This has been a great cheer up thread for me today.

I use it at the end of each and every gig, sometimes at the end of each set. Makes a huge difference to string life. The strings that I replaced on my main gigging bass a couple of weeks back, had been on for a year ( sad I know but I keep records) and had done thirty plus gigs.

Excellent review old chap. Glad you are enjoying.

Yes, adding an extension cab will unleash the full umph I've never used an Asdown so can't speak from experience on the eq section but generally I would say get the gain up to a point where you are maximising volume but without clipping (there will be a light or a gauge I'm guessing). Then set your master volume to suit the venue. Perhaps start with eq all set flat and adjust to suit the venue.

[quote name='dadofsix' timestamp='1427419598' post='2730285'] That's back when I was fronting for my band. Lots of Deep Purple. Space Truckin may not have been much of a song, but damn, it was fun to sing! lol [/quote] Space Truckin was in the set on my very first bass gig back in 73/74. Midway through the number, the pick up on my Epiphone parted company with the bass, the noise it made was truly horrid, even worse than my playing

Hello and welcome Jules, good to meet you

Happy memories of listening to this album when it was first released. This and Humble Pie, Rocking the Filmore are amongst my fave live albums.

Wow, that is some investment.hope you enjoy it.
