Let us know how it goes! Enjoy.

Seen on various Facebook feeds. Quilter V803. Looks class. Has 3 voicing, good eq and by all accounts, finally an xlr out.. Cant wait to hear it.

I think that's a Chinese made one as well, not a US one

.. and recording and as a Di if it has cab sim too.

They look real nice. Whoa! There's a cheeky cab sim built in too on the right hand side!

Mines definitely not hissy. Do you have a cab with a horn / tweeter etc?

No problem. Enjoy!

It is a noise gate. But 100% you won't hear a thing when playing live. It kicks in temporarily when you're not playing but does get any louder the louder you turn up.

Having a look around I think it's a mini turnaround the country.

Hi all, I know a lot on here love this guy. Just seen he's playing at Band on the Wall this Friday with an Irish band The Ollam. Tickets cheap at £23. Its a great venue if you've never been, you're right near the stage no matter what. Its a good opportunity to see a revered bassist up close for little money.

They've a few artist videos on YouTube using these. Dougie from McFly too. His video is actually quite good.

Can't get better than that! Great service.

not really, I don't have anywhere near a grand like you, I thought they were supposed to be cheapish at the moment.

We'll, I think that's happened already.... They not cheap. Looking a grand at the moment for a US HH one.

As I'm getting into HH basses more and more, the Fender dimensions have appeared on my radar. I love my Harley benton mm84a, and these seem to have a similar set up. Does anyone have any experience of these?

As long as he plays them live I've no problem with them. Its the signatures that haven't got anything to do with the players that I don't like.

If it helps, there's a pretty simple rule to follow for the vintage brand. The old logo ones are more of a starter bass, and the newer logo ones are quite good. They feel like 2 different companies the quality is that different.

I remember Oasis (in their prime) saying they keep tickets at £20-30 each as they know the kids and people similar to where and how they grew up couldn't afford more. Always had admiration for them for that.

John Paul Jones. Bass n Drums.

I suppose as well, rising costs and lack of custom killing pubs and venues has a large effect on things. I remember round here you could go out 6 nights a week socialising in the 90s and it'd be buzzing any night. People, drinkers, all ages, live music, djs, sports, karaoke, all sorts. Now, nothing. They only open maybe Fri, sat, there's little entertainment if any on and they're all mainly empty.

I guess that's one of the things I'm getting at. I'm not bothered whether or not I like something, but pop music used to be week in week out a mixture of pop, disco, rock, metal, reggae, love songs, party songs, dance, indie, world music, novelty, and new styles breaking through, a whole plethora of music. I genuinely haven't looked at the charts, but I'd bet they were nowhere near as diverse as a 70s 80s 90s chart. People's creativity and output has been stifled, even suppressed. Mainly because it's not financially viable to practice, gig, perform, tour, get your voice heard and make an income off the back of it, when starting from scratch. Therefore I believe it's becoming more and more of the same old boys club, producers, artistes and performers, controlling what music is out there, and financial restraints make it hard to break that chain. Unfortunately as its been like this for so long it's become the norm and people have just accepted it.

I feel current 'pop' music is not inclusive of everyone anymore. Its not for a wide range of people like it used to be. There's no BBC weekly main pop music show to involve everyone. And there wasn't even a Xmas totp. Therefore the charts are just for the under 25s and it's those who choose what's in it with sales and streaming. The creativity is appalling. Drivel. Same old thing. Worse, it's the same old thing that's been been going on for years. It's stuck in a rut. For example I watch all the old totp on bbc4 on a Friday and 1994 and 1995 sound fresh and new and streets ahead of anything released nowadays in every way. And that's 30 years old. Melody has disappeared. Musicianship disappeared. Genuine bands are sparse. There's so much in the minor key or just samples with someone talking over the top. I can't remember the last happy sounding upbeat melodic party track. It just feels like it's been abandoned to me. Either deliberately or its been allowed to rot.

It probably is the same. And that's a shame. The fact most are even put off before giving it a go is the biggest shame of all. The rising costs of everything, and the dramatic decrease in what bands on the circuit get paid.
