  1. We ditched the valve amps and put our guitarist onto a TC Electronic G System, plus in-ears.
  2. Just on my way over there now, hope to catch them on the.LRR stage.
  3. This has just popped up on joinmyband and I thought it deserved a wider audience. I know the band, they're a great bunch of lads and excellent at the style they play. Popular established rock band Walkway, from Diss, East Anglia seek Bassist. Busy touring schedule (shows across the UK) with paid work until the end of 2019 and gigs already booked for 2020. PLEASE NOTE: Our tour schedule for 2019 can be shared with our current dep Bassist. Large repertoire of original and cover material to learn. You must be: * Committed * Hard working * Take pride in what you do * Focus on attention to detail and play to the song * Have own quality gear * Can drive * Backing vocals and 5 string players are a big advantage We want someone that wants to have fun, but strives to develop and be the best that they can be. Male and Female Bassists welcome. All ages considered, however personal presentation will be taken into account. Please send all details, examples etc to: [email protected]
  4. There used to be a band around these parts called 'Topless Barmaids'.
  5. Friendship on social media? I don't think so.
  6. Very challenging. Don't forget to check that whatever name you come up with (a) isn't already in use by a band and (b) doesnt' resolve to a pornsite.
  7. Some great stuff there. If 'Twisted' was in your original list, maybe think about putting it back in, the bassline is great fun.
  8. Incredibly lucky. I wouldn't fancy your chances of claiming on insurance for a musical instrument with Parcelforce,.
  9. Another day, another brilliant transaction with Chris. I bought his Walkabout head, it took a little while to sort the details out and everything worked out beautifully. Thanks Chris.
  10. Probably not a good idea to cut off the moulded plug. This might invalidate any warranty. It is illegal for a UK retailer to sell you an electrical item with a Euro plug and a travel adaptor, but I'm not sure whether Thomann constitutes a UK retailer in this respect. Any adaptor needs to be a permanent fitment to the plug that cannot be removed without a tool. Like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Euro-Pin-Converter-Plug-Adapter/dp/B000KMGTKS/ref=asc_df_B000KMGTKS/
  11. That mixer has two Aux Sends which can be set to pre-fade, giving you two useable monitor feeds. The third (FX) is fixed to post-fade, which isn't ideal for monitors, same for the sub-group busses. Unbalanced is normal for all these, you don't usually have long cable runs.
  12. Drink the vodka and rub the sticker grot with the bottle!
  13. For a more homespun remedy, mayonnaise will sometimes work. You need to brush it on and leave it for a few hours, then wash off. I've had success with this removing sticker gunge from hard cases, and some beer bottle label residue.
  14. I haven't seen the program but if it was a pre-CBS Jaguar, it was a 6-string guitar. The bass didn't come along until much later, early 2000s? and originated in Japan.
  15. Except that it doesn't mention the Taste control, which is one of the most useful features of this amp. Rather than mess about with the EQ, turn it to the left gives a lower-mid boost and an upper mid cut, for a more vintage sound, and turn it to the right seems to cut lower mids a bit, boost the upper mid and add a bit of treble. I have the 110 and I usually just leave the EQ flat and use the Taste control. It's definitely a class A/B. Great sounding amp. I do have a manual somewhere but it doesn't contain much information.
  16. These are great cabs. I stupidly sold mine and missed it so much I had to buy another one. Have a free bump on me.
  17. Yes, my father bought it from somewhere in southern England, in 1970. Don't think they're worth a great deal though. That tailpiece doesn't look right, it's nothing like the one on mine which I know is original. Think the fingerboard is probably ebony.
  18. It looks identical to my Musima, which was from East Germany I think.
  19. I have a Morley Little Alligator which fits the bill. Has a minimum level knob and is industrial grade sturdy. Doesn't have any noticeable effect on the tone.
  20. I've used mine with active basses (BBNE2 which puts out a BIG signal) and downstream of a DHA VT1 Pro and it works well in both cases.
  21. I'd say it relates to the amp and not to the internal speaker (these chassis were I think also available standalone) . If it says 8 Ohms and you're running it at 4, I think there's a risk of damage to the head.
