    Very nice, if I wasn't firmly in the micro head camp these days, this is the amp I would have.
  2. Congrats, looks like a good un.
  3. [quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1393191397' post='2377246'] Lovely crowd pleaser that Gary [/quote] That's what we aim for Debs
  4. Gigged last night with the newly fitted Pro Steels. So far so good. Plenty of oomph, bright but pleasingly so. Still sounding good at the end of a long, hot set.
  5. Feel for you. Maybe it has something to do with that particular model. I was handed one at a open mic night and played along very badly to Dakota, felt a total fool. The weight threw me, the action was way high and the strap was far too long for me, so the bass was all low slung rock stylee.
  6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IdEhvuNxV8 Learning this one tomorrow. Not today, I rarely play my basses the day after a gig, well unless there is another gig
  7. Yes guess so, if you want to replicate it as close to the original as poss. With a drummer and guitars going full pelt, for me it was close enough, Maybe I was just being a tight wad
  8. I played this with the last rock band I was with and always enjoyed it. Didn't use any effects but drove the preamp side of the amp quite hard, just clipping slightly.
  9. A Sunday morning bump for my rather lovely bass.
  10. You are certainly getting the tinkering/modding bug Richard. Looking forward to seeing the finished job.
  11. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1393025244' post='2375502'] Keep my volume low so as not to offend the singer who often reminds me not to turn it up during the set..... [/quote] IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.......... DO NOT PANDER TO SINGERS This sort of thing just encourages their diva tendancies.
  12. [quote name='Thunderpaws' timestamp='1393002501' post='2375186'] With my G&L my volume is at about 75%. Seems to work/sound better with my amp that way. Think it's fairly HOT. [/quote] I find the same when using my G&L. When I'm using a Fender P the volume tends to be on full but I do make adjustments with the tone setting.
  13. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1392839109' post='2373404'] I think you should keep it Gary or better still give it to me [/quote] Given your nicotine withdrawal, cravings and general humpiness, there is a risk that you might smash it up. Jesting aside, good luck with the quiting.
  14. Does Mr Chili have the oldest most vintage instrument on BC. Wow 1870.
  15. [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1392921091' post='2374272'] I know! I mean it's a tortoise. It's not like trying to catch gamefish is it? [/quote]
  16. Who needs sensible advice when GAS is calling?
  17. Not gigged with either, although I have tried out a few Mark Bass amps and have been impressed by all of them. If the Ampeg is giving you the sound you like and is reliable, may be save yourself the expense. If you just fancy an upgrade, then hope you enjoy
  18. 36 hours and 2 minutes since my last bump [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1392710679' post='2371760'] With 10,270 views, have you thought of charging an entrance fee Gary? If you'd charged 25p a look you'd have paid for this ages ago. [/quote]
  19. A very enjoyable afternoon tea time read, thanks Tim. The bass player in the That'll be the Day show was using one for a good few numbers. It sounded impressively good.
  20. Mr Discreet's recommendation is a good one John. A while back now, I finally got cheesed off enough to ditch IE, went with Google chrome. It was a good move
  21. Richard, sorry to hear this. Hope you get sorted pronto.
  22. Click on the link Tim, you will have fun. Lozz there was a whole lot of pretty impressive instrument swapping going on last night.
