happy for you

I like coffee, I like bass so it sounds like a fine idea. Not so sure about traveling in to London at the moment. I;ll check in nearer the time and see where abouts it's happening.

Got to be Wal for me

That looks real good Tim. Love it.

Been a bit of a bass fest for you in recent times Nick. Another very handsome instrument

[quote name='Pestie' timestamp='1377624195' post='2189577'] Thanks Gary. Do you have any suggestions for pup replacement please? cheers Mike [/quote] Conan has answered that one very well. For me Seymour Duncan quarter pounders.

Don't think the CV necessarily needs any upgrades but if you like tinkering then a change of pups can make a big difference.

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1377368503' post='2186843'] sparcely populated [/quote] Same with our gig on friday night. But shouldn't have been surprised as the publican didn't publicize it, didn't even put the posters up that I hand delivered a couple of weeks back.

He certainly provided some tasty bass lines. Until very recently Son of a Preacher Man was in our set. I did my best to stay close to the original, with some of those nice little fills and restrained busyness, if you know what I mean.

I think the Chromes are brilliant, plenty of thump. I have to admit though, that they are the only ones I've used, so I can't make any comparisons. Pretty sure Strings Direct do single strings, might be worth a look on their site.

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1377266459' post='2185588'] Quality tunes there Gary We've added 'Time' into our set. That's a fun bassline, rhythm varies a lot and also varies between staccato notes and sustained notes. Good fun [/quote] Still love that number, after all these years, I always enjoy it and seem to be in the right mood for it.

Kylie Minogue, Can't get you out of my head and Katy Perry, I kissed a girl. for the poppier part of our set

Seems to be back up but given the above comments I'm a bit reluctant to log in

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1377186946' post='2184541'] Couple of nice pics of the bass in action! Great! Do you mind if we use them, Gary? [/quote] Course not

The Bass Chat regulars will be waking up soon bet one of them will be able to help. Meanwhile I'm off for a caffeine fix and to have a think , maybe my head will work a little better then.

Didn't notice that the other night when I was noodling about with it, mind you we were all chatting. Are you talking an electrical buzz or a resonance type of thing with the speaker?
