    Don't have much advice in terms of specific venues unless you planned on including Scotland in your tour! But we tend to just get in touch with venues/promoters on Facebook (or drop them an email with demos attached) and try to sort stuff out that way! If you tell them about your tour and that you're trying to help promote your album etc. then most venues IME will be happy to put you on! And the same goes with bands! The hardest part is usually organising them in an order which geographically makes sense as venues won't necessarily be free on the night you want! In terms of accomodation it depends how comfortable you want to be! We sleep in the van most of the time with the odd youth hostel thrown in when we feel we need it! We also have a tent in the van which is sometimes a better option, weather permitting! And obviously if you have any friends dotted around the country that wouldn't mind putting up an entire band for the night you should ask them too! Hope you find some of this useful, Paul

    +1 for "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Rolling Stones! Great choir intro!

    Has this bass gone?

    My German-made Warwick Corvette Standard is by far the best bass I've ever played! Looks good, feels good, is ridiculously light but can take a beating! I think I'll keep it...

    [color=#ff0000][b]**SOLD!! PLEASE REMOVE!!!!**[/b][/color] For sale is this DOD FX84 Milkbox Compressor. I bought a bundle of pedals off a guy who was down-sizing but this was one of the ones I had no use for. As you can see from the pics, it's in good condition. Has the usual scratches from being gigged but otherwise is in full working order. This is what the DOD website has to say about the FX84: "The FX84 Milk Box is the healthiest way to add the thick, creamy texture of a compressor/expander to your playing style, while still retaining a lean physique. The FX84 will smooth out the rough edges, but is transparent enough to still feel what you're playing." I don't have the original box or manuals etc. just the pedal itself. But rest assured it will be well packed and you can download the manual here: [url="ftp://ftp.dod.com/pub/PDFs/Manuals/FX%20Pedals/FX84Manual.pdf"]ftp://ftp.dod.com/pu.../FX84Manual.pdf[/url] Price is £30 shipped to Mainland UK. Cheers, Paul [attachment=106111:IMAG0135.jpg] [attachment=106112:IMAG0139.jpg] [attachment=106113:IMAG0140.jpg] [attachment=106114:IMAG0144.jpg] [attachment=106115:IMAG0147.jpg] [attachment=106116:IMAG0148.jpg]

    So I'm currently playing through a Peavey Tour 700 and an Ashdown ABM 4x10 but I'm looking to upgrade my cab! I know the Peavey tour cabs themselves are supposed to be built like tanks and I've seen a second-hand one for £300! I fear though that it's gonna be a heavy piece of hardware though! Does anyone have any recommendations on a suitable cab? Or is the Peavey tour one gonna be my best bet? Cheers, Paul

    You should maybe look at getting yourself a "gripmaster" to use at work or even just sitting about the house. You can pick one up for about £8 on amazon. They're a good way of strengthening your hands and forearms and would mean that the time you do have to practice could be better spent. I use mine at work and before gigs to warm up!

    So i've been a member of Basschat for a couple of months now but I thought I would just watch from a distance to start with to get used to how things worked around here. This is me officially "revealing" myself. My name is Paul, I am 21 and I will ask stupid questions! I play in a "Hard rock" band called Late Landing. I'm currently playing a Spector Legend 4 through a Peavey Tour 700 and an Ashdown 4x10. You seem like a friendly bunch so any advice and such would be greatly appreciated! I can already tell that these "For Sale" threads will be the death of me! Cheers! Paul
