G&L Tribute JB-2 I reckon

Others gone, only the unichorus now. [b]EBS Unichorus[/b]...Great condition/boxed. Note Chorus works well with lead guitar too. Note: The doesn't have "True Bypass" written on it so assume that it isn't. A great pedal though with very useful sounds. £50? [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xETWOvL_xU"]https://www.youtube....h?v=1xETWOvL_xU[/url] Collect or add £5 towards postage. Thanks for looking!

I certainly loved it and it still looks good too doesn't it You can see it in action by checking The Angry Badgers Video, Deep Red in their Facebook page. Why not like the page if you like what you hear -
[quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1470430829' post='3106021'] Thanks for that Pinball - always rated him highly but hadn't heard anything from Loud Hailer. My vinyl copy of Truth (Jeff Beck Band with Rod Stewart on vocals) still gets a regular play. [/quote] The last one I bought was Wired in the lat 70's Some of the best tracks aren't on Youtube but as a body of work it's spot on and very sharp all round. It's the best I've heard from him. I'm not into guitar hero's as a rule.

Wow, is anyone else listening to this album. I regularly listen to new music from all sorts of genres and this really shines on so many levels. The musicianship and production are awesome, the lyrics and vocal are outstanding and it rocks. There are loads of highs and lows along with musical surprises. Here are a couple of tracks.

Hmm, I'm surprised with the responses so far. I pretty much always use a small amount of compression. I find that it helps keep everything stable and the volume even when using effects. Particularly with wah and distortion.

Yep we're an originals band with a heavy/prog feel. We are not young band so things are stacked against us I terms of social media competition [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujZTv4eTfXQ"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujZTv4eTfXQ[/url] Bristol is a-wash with music. We don' really have away into the Uni scene at the moment. Advertising there is like competing with white noise Weston-Super-Mare different.

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1469204679' post='3096682'] Depends on the crowd you're trying to attract and the reputation/punters of the venue. if it's a younger crowd and originals then the distribution via Friends of Friends on FB is a good start. Posts on FB and Twitter get many times more views if you have a pic attached so make your poster landscape and reduce it to 900px wide to display as a photo then # it to the venue and any local rags or radio you'd like to cover it. For older bands with an older crowd posters and flyers are the thing. Older folk don't tend to use the i'net enough to look for things to do or gigs to go to. [/quote] That kind of echoes my thinking. It needs to be targeted in terms of area and audience. I reckon there is time to do that with the venue on side Thanks for all the replies..it helps a lot. I can see it is really easy to waste time and money

[quote name='clarkpegasus4001' timestamp='1469144409' post='3096166'] I would suggest all that you have listed but especially Facebook. Posters and flyers all help. Get all the band members to push it as well as the venue. Also the local papers if possible, plus anywhere on the net does does gig listing. Don't fly post illegally or you could get into trouble, and you may lose the gig too. [/quote] We have done a poster (see below) and FB bit. I'm a bit disappointed with FB as it doesn't seem to work as well as it did-any advice there? A good point about the local press. [attachment=224050:Bear Poster.jpg]

What is the best way to promote a gig here in the UK at the moment Bandcamp, Facebook, Lemonrock or old fashioned posters and fliers? What do people out there do to try and get the audiences in?

[[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1468679579' post='3092617'] Sorely tempted, even though I already have an excellent DaisyRock twelver. SHMBO wouldn't appreciate the nuances between them, I'm afraid. A superb instrument, more playable than a Ricky, for mortals. Good luck with the sale. Any chance of photos of the red-burst on your one..? [/quote] Hi, there are a few pic's about but no close ups I'm afraid. It is a pretty flat/rich red burst rather than a red stain. I can take some when I get a chance. It is a very easy and satisfying guitar to play. [attachment=223628:1273702_501732579919740_456531153_o.jpg]

Lou Reed's music often had great bass lines. I think the nature of his voice and strong lyrics lend themselves to adventurous bass playing. Think of "walk on the wild side" or New Sensations, which is one of my favourite all time albums. It looks like the whole thing is here. It disappeared from the music shops for years because a dispute I think. Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIPgMWgVdcs&list=PLjoFXWTkzwgDAtSXC3Dm1LcAlnSa8tuK9

Extra bang for your buck from more costly basses?
Pinball replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
In my world, buying either new or used, I reckon: I could get something that would do the job well for under £500 e.g. Mex fender, SterlingRay, Tribute G&L, Ibanez, Yamaha I could get what I wanted for well under £1000 e.g. Stingray, SB-2, P-bass, high end Ibby, Yammy or Sandburg anything above that is luxury, which wouldn't add significantly to my sound...but there is nothing wrong with a bit of luxury in your life. Note: Anyway the guitar is just one part of the overall sound system. You need a decent amp etc as well. -
I have for sale a really nice playing Redburst 12 string burns guitar. It has been lightly gigged but is in good condition. It is a really easy 12 string to play and a distinctive guitar that gets a lot of attention when used live. It's about 4 years old and comes with it's original silver Burns case It has a brilliant sound...just listen to this: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u6AQFToAvY"]https://www.youtube....h?v=1u6AQFToAvY[/url]

A possible trade added. G&L Tribute L2500 A really nice used Schecter Ultra Classic guitar. It' This was an expensive top spec guitar. It has powerful Seymour Duncan custom pups, though neck construction, ebony fret board and Schaller locking tuners. I have owned this from new (3 or 4 years). It has been mainly used at home over the years and has a few light marks but not major chips or damage.

Hi, I have here a black/rosewood G&L L2000 in great condition. I bought this only a few months ago. I was really looking for a 5 string back-up for my Stingray. This bass came up on BC a few months back and I saw this as a chance to try the "L" series out. I wasn't disappointed so I have since bought an identically coloured G&L L1505. That means that this is now unused and surplus to requirements. Good points are that is plays superbly and has a great action (down to the previous owner), it has a great sound in both passive and active modes and it it really well made, lightweight and well balanced. "nuff said" Looking for something near £300 or I would trade it for a passive 5 bass Yammy 1025 or G&L L2500. I can add a bit of cash. Not jazzers though Not the best vid but t looks like this one: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--V7wSNGXlM"]https://www.youtube....h?v=--V7wSNGXlM[/url]

My opinion is that they are lovely guitars....I loved playing mine at home but could never make it work in my band and ended up, ahem "knob twiddling". My weapon of choice is a Stingray or a G&L-either a passive SB-2 or L1505. I'm sure there are many better options than a TM and would go for a VM or a panther if you want a Sandberg. Just say'in like

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1467803208' post='3086340'] Just goes to show that you need to get out there and try basses for yourself. I know buying online is the only option for some people, but it is very much a lottery. I've had a one or two mediocre Fenders but my current Precision is the best I've had in 40-odd years and it's a Mexican. [/quote] This sums it up..try before you buy. I've tried a few and found some excellent Fender basses but they do vary
