[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1417514694' post='2621084'] I'm not saying its impossible to gig with it but I would probably have to shape the rest of my sound system around the pedal to get the sound I was after. [/quote] An update: I'm planning on taking it our to play live but not using it as a replacement in my band set up-it sounds beautifully with my fretless.

Hi, no Band Web Page or Twitter. At the moment we're on Facebook, Ents24 and Reverbnation, which I try and keep active and up to date. That is probably enough to cope with at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion I'll look into it during the holidays-never even read a tweet myself. I'm pretty useless with social media and it seems to take me ages to do anything I find Ents24 the easiest to work with In the mean time more keep the Facebook band page likes coming please were "[color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Alternative psychedelic post-progressive rock"[/font][/color]: [url="https://www.facebook.com/TheAngryBadgers"]https://www.facebook...TheAngryBadgers[/url] Still 19 to go....

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1419538806' post='2640781'] Just out of interest... What are you hoping to achieve by getting likes from people just for the sake of it? (genuine question - not sarcasm!) [/quote] At the moment if you internet search the band "The Angry Badger" you get Soundcloud, gigs etc that come up but the Facebook page is way down the searches. It should make our FB page more visible (hope so anyway).

[quote name='scoobystig' timestamp='1419539370' post='2640786'] Pinball Done Here is our page if you would like to return the favour [url="https://www.facebook.com/alterchaos?ref=ts&fref=ts"]https://www.facebook...?ref=ts&fref=ts[/url] As we are pretty local to each other maybe we could hook up in the summer for some dates, there is a few of us bands looking to stage some small multi band festivals in Bristol next year [/quote] Done Scoobystig , thanks all only 19 required now.

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1419524028' post='2640650'] Liked. Every little helps. [/quote] Indeed it does much appreciated, and we will hill links to some new recordings in January 24 to go!

Not sure what to say about this......other than its him again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVeVwr0YUSA

I saw Cardiff bans Ghosts As Alibis in Bristol this year and really liked the intelligent bass playing and their sound moves around. Check this vid out at about 3.20 and you will see what I mean. The guy had a great tone on the night and the rhythms were spot on. A very enjoyable band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YE0Jfh0A90

[quote name='Les' timestamp='1419465469' post='2640357'] Gentlemen (and ladies of course) shame on you ! A fellow basplayer needs some likes on his facebook page to foil an imposter band ! (Probably another BC member ) and I think after 212 views and 12 replies there is only me liked his band. Heed the call to arms. [url="https://www.facebook.com/TheAngryBadgers?ref=ts&fref=ts"]https://www.facebook...?ref=ts&fref=ts[/url] we are legion Les [/quote] Thanks M8 much appreciated, every little "like" helps. and thanks Dad and SRP. I totally understand people who avoid Facebook. Even though I'm the oldest I'm the only member of the band and of my family who uses it. I have had a lot of personal pleasure from using it in the past-its great for keeping up friendships Merry Christmas

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1419457712' post='2640262'] re: The change in January - you'll probably have to be a bit creative around how you pitch your posts. If they're straight ads, you'll have to pay. If they're 'Hey everyone.. have you seen...?' you might get away with it. Time will tell. [/quote] Good thinking

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1419458943' post='2640287'] Sorry. I can't see anywhere that it says you'll have to pay. [/quote] Hmm neither do I, my understanding was that when you share something from a band page it will no longer automatically go to people who have liked your page but that there will be an option to pay to have the information circulated. Hopefully I'm wrong though. There is no charge for having band pages etc, which is good news. I'm not really up on facebook etc. can anyone else clarify?

[quote name='Les' timestamp='1419455048' post='2640225'] Sort of understand your personal privacy issues but as far as using it to promote a band, privacy is the last thing a band wants. If you need more likes post your link here and it will happen. Les [/quote] I suppose my concerns are contradictory as I want privacy and publicity at the same time. I do feel like my privacy is been invaded though and will post accordingly in the future .I'll take your advice and put a ling on the first post and ask for more likes

Hi, I'm concerned about the way Facebook is heading. I'm in a new Band who have amassed over 70 likes, with recent post reaches of approaching a couple of hundred. I also have a personal account. Things have occurred in the last couple of months that make me nervous about depending on FB long term: 1. The Angry Badgers, my band need a hundred likes for the page to come up near the top on internet searches so even if someone puts the exact name in they get someone called "Angry Badger" who has 140 likes and no mention of us-A bit annoying but I understand this and we'll soon get there. 2. Band pages can't be promoted and shared in the same way from January 3. A couple of months back I received a personal message from my best friend-fine except that he had died of brain cancer in 2012. This was generated automatically by Facebook and included pictures of us and our families and personal/private messages. I was really shocked at getting a message from beyond the grave that included quotes and things that only he and I had shared. 4. Today I got a similar Facebook generated post reviewing my year. While there wasn't anything bad in it, it did have items in it that I would not have wanted to remember. All in all I'm kind of loosing faith in the whole Facebook even though it has given me a lot of pleasure in the past. I think it would be better to look elsewhere to promote the band. My son was telling me tonight that he knows of several people who have deleted their accounts due to concerns about privacy. I'm not impressed! Note: If you would be so kind as to like this page that would help solve one of the issues: https://www.facebook.com/TheAngryBadgers?ref=hl

Nice, I'm contemplating putting a EB maple neck on my SR35, I agreed to buy it off someone a couple of days back.

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1418551414' post='2631021'] I've never heard anyone complain before of the fit and finish of Warwick basses, regardless of era. They may well have come and gone in fashion and the various efforts to improve the nut have been ludicrous (we won't mention the jack sockets ) and the neck profiles are certainly a marmite thing but construction wise I've always found them spot on with no shonky woodwork/necks etc. [/quote] That mirrors my experience with a great sounding FNA that I had. An upgrade sorted the nut but the jack gave continual problems. In addition the plastic box the electronics are housed in didn't line up with the socket hole very well and it was always coming loose. In the end it I got sick of the niggles and it left the building. The finish and sound were superb.

[quote name='Opticaleye' timestamp='1419339895' post='2638894'] They really are the most versatile bass that I have owned and it's not a Jack of all trades/master of none situation as it excels at everything. [/quote] Can't disagree with than and it has its own unique voice and character

Here you go Blue Pearl, beautiful to me. The mark on the guard is just reflection [attachment=179149:EBSR5body.jpg] [attachment=179150:EBSR5Fr2.jpg] [attachment=179151:EBSR5fr.jpg]

I found this on Gumtree. http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-bass-amplifiers/ibanez-atk-305/1090548117 I have never seen one of these in the flesh but it looks a nifty bit of kit. Maybe worth a look if someone is close.

From experience with my SR5 I think you will get pretty close to a "P" just by altering the EQ for a deeper bassier sound and playing finger style neck side of the pickup.

I use a voodoo Labs Pedal Power ISO 5. Not the cheapest option but since I have had it I haven't been bugged by annoying background noises, which has had a knock on effect in that I no longer keep changing pedals....Saved me time and money

Bored in WSM this Friday? It would be great to see you at The Angry Badgers gig. Gif is here and link to our FB in my sig. Thanks for looking. [url="https://www.ents24.com/weston-super-mare-events/carnabys/the-angry-badgers/4087088"]https://www.ents24.c...badgers/4087088[/url]
