    I'd heard Iain was on BC but didn't know who he was. Small world!!

    similar to buying a van, lights etc. A bit of a mine field isn't it. I am lucky in that I own a quality QSC full system. But as a singer, shouldn't I have a decent PA?

    it went very well. About 3 weeks later I got the call again as te bass had just detached a retina. I've now done 2 to 3 a weekend with them and will be until the end of July. It's certainly got my chops back up to speed

    I had a 78. One of my first basses and my first Fender. I loved it. I felt like I was going up in the world, I had a Fender!! I loved mine

    I joined an established duo, 1989. I didn't know most of the set. I had to wing it. I listened very closely to the first verse in each song, knew the key. There could only be a few notes in the progression. I worked it out as I went along. I became quite good at busking and have done many gigs like this. (but not for a while now)

    absolutely

    when I bought my '73 with rosewood board back in 1990, I already had a '62. I had some gear to trade and traded it and 50 quid. Little did I know that '73 would still be with me 33 years later. It was a better sounding and playing bass than my '62, so that got sold (550 quid, would you believe it) I haven't played a better P bass since. I have a bitsa that sounds awesome but doesnt play like my old one

    I'm proud to be using Ashdown these days. Awesome company

    I'm depping in a band and the singer has a hose pipe like drum for the mic leads. When you put another lead of the drums, you just plug it in to the last lead on there and wind. It is utter genius. In fact I'm going to adopt this for my rig when I have to mic everyone up (it's only once a year this gig, but the mic cables would be safe coiled this way)

    superb thanks

    did you get this from Lightin the box?

    I'll be honest, they did sound very similar. All sat nicely in the mix. Once I would have stuck my neck out and picked one but I can't really tell. I thought 3 might be, but I thought 1 and 2 were too. I dont own any basses with the pickup in the same position as a P bass, so I have nothing to go by. I did have a rickenfaker, made from basswood, rosewood board with the pickup in the same place, but it was a P bass pickup. It did sound like a P bass.

    cool, where from. Mine need changing. I have a few sets of spares but would be interesting if there were cheaper, just as good alternatves

    without looking back thru the thread, I use Comply tips. You squash them down and they expand in your ear. Great isolation and they don't fall out (not yet anyway)
  17. police squad
    yep it's all about the audience for me. My job is to entertain and if they're enjoying it, dancing etc The job's a goodun
  18. police squad
    Where was Chris Stein?
  19. police squad
    I watched the set and enjoyed it. Her vocals weren't spot on but there was good energy
  20. police squad
    I bought this https://www.screwfix.com/p/kewtech-kewcheck-103-13a-socket-tester-230v-ac/45558
  21. police squad
    I've just bought a tester, which will remain in my gigging bag from now on.

  24. police squad
    yes I played with someone for many years that does this. Maybe I'll buy one too. It was the shock on my bass that surprised me the most
  25. police squad
    We've probably all had it, you go up to your mic and get a spark to the lips. Ouch Today, my behringer P2 for my IEMs was touching my skin on my back. I couldn't work it out. Then got a shock to my lips on the mic and THEN touched the volume knob on my bass and got another belt. Therefore first set, I ditched the IEMs and didnt sing much. I couldn't hear properly and had a really cr@p first set. I know my gear, it's all PAT tested but I had plugged into an unknown extension and that was the cause. Plugged in elsewhere, 2nd set was fab. IEMs all good. I was shocked!!
