Anyone know of any drummers in Hampshire/Berkshire/Surrey borders are?
molan replied to molan's topic in General Discussion
Great - thanks Mark. I don't think it'll be a huge commitment so could easily be a second band for someone who just wants to get out & play more -
Some friends of mine are looking at putting a band together - just a small event / pub gig kinda thing. They have a decent female vocalist & guitarist & I'm interested in the bass chair Material pretty varied but they've been looking at Little Feat, Sheryl Crow, KT Tunstall, Black Crowes, Clapton, Bowie, Free etc. Obviously the set list needs a lot of work so they're open to ideas on anything really

Aguilar db212: keeping the sound but losing the weight....
molan replied to gillento's topic in Amps and Cabs
Haven't been able to try the SL's up against a live drummer yet but I really like them paired with the TH500 head. I found them a bit brighter & more agressive than the DB's with the TF550 - In fact too clear & precise for my liking However, with the TH500 they seem to work really well with plenty of punch and growl up to pretty high volumes. I heard a top funk player using the TH500 + 2xSL's the other week & he sounded amazing through them. That, combined with the super light weight convinced me to shell out for a pair The weight is just astonishing, feels like an empty cab! For reference - they aren't that dinky in size, maybe a little smaller than the DB's but not much & certainly larger than my old Berg cabs (although they are lighter than the Bergs as well). -
[quote name='Panamonte' timestamp='1322124364' post='1446666'] Really looking forward to that - and nice to stumble across another member of the BC/BBC clan [/quote] Last episode in this series was Dennis Wilson I think - repeated on Sunday & Monday. Often a lot of good music on BBC4

I actually fell asleep half way through Bonnie Raitt - that could be why I still had the stamina for Ian Dury, lol. The Dury concert is a bit patchy IMO but Norman looks at his most cadaverous best & it's interesting to see him spanking an Alembic I have Sky Arts saved on my 'favourite' channels & often just flip down to see what's playing - all sorts of random good concerts on.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1322159436' post='1447448'] [size=6][sub]No.. couldn't stick with it....have just trawled through Pulse and Bonnie Rait for the last few hours. [/sub][/size] [size=6][sub]Will catch it next time when they repeat it.[/sub][/size] [/quote] I caught the end of Pulse and watched most of Bonnie R as well! Helps to use live pause and watch on a bit time delay so you can zap through the dodgier songs

Live from Hammersmith, 1985. Norman Watt-Roy tearing through Rhythm Stick on his Alembic No idea how he keeps it going through an extended version!

[quote name='benthos' timestamp='1322044233' post='1445674'] Don't let its apparent lack of robustness put you off - I do exactly that with a Shuttle 6 and 2 Aggy GS112s - the Markbass gizmo works fine. [/quote] I've also used the MB in between a pair of Aggy DB112's and had no issues with it. First saw someone at the Jazz Cafe doing this and asks him about it. He'd been using it for a while.

Thought you were sick of your covers band?
molan replied to EdwardHimself's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1321975542' post='1445016'] A couple of years ago we had a guitarist leave a covers band between the last number and the encore, but without the guitar smashing!! I was amused and irritated at the same time. [/quote] Friend of mine was in a band where the drummer just packed up in the interval & buggered off -
From the prices I've seen I think you could get a used Fender USA Standard instead of a new Roadworn? Some of the more recent Standards are just superb. I owned a 2010 model for a while and it was one of the nicest Fender J's I've ever played

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1321826838' post='1443605'] Didn't they start making Jazzes in '62? [/quote] I think technically the first, and possibly only one from that year, was finished in 1959 & is owned by Herbie Flowers. 1960 was the official first year of production.

The new editor is left-handed - might explain something. . . Not sure if it's just me but I definitely see more left-handed people around these days. I sat in a work meeting recently and there were maybe 6 or 7 lefties in the room out of about 15 in total.

Which Basschatters bass would you most like to own? (and why?)
molan replied to EBS_freak's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Shawman' timestamp='1321542981' post='1440427'] awwww min! sorry to hear that [/quote] I still have my original '86 zebrano topped Monarch and part of the deal on the Yin Yang has seen a glossy new solid flame maple Ritter Cora arrive at my house http://www.bassgear.co.uk/products-page/bass-guitars/ritter/ritter-cora-4-late-lounge Will try to get some better pics sorted as the ones here don't really do the finish justice (it's darker with a deeper flame but probably very hard to capture!). -
Bizarrely, this is the first sunburst Wal I've seen

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1321650463' post='1441738'] To my eyes there's probably a very good reason [/quote] I'm with you here! -
Ummm, complicated question in my view. I've owned both and generally prefer MarkBass because I've found EBS to be too clean & almost 'clinical' sounding at times. Can sound great on first hearing (like when tested in a showroom environment) but potentialIy 'wearing' after extended listening. I always think of EBS gear as being for a hi-fi slapper's tone whereas I think MarkBass has more tonal versatility. However, not all MB cabs sound great & a lot of people use MB heads but other brand cabs. Having said that, I've heard a lot of people with full Mb rigs that sounded really good in a live gigging situation. Of course, as other people have already said, you really have to try them out - for a lot of people EBS represents sonic nirvana and you might just be one of them

Alleva Coppolo LG4 sunburst, dalbergia negra board * SALE PENDING *
molan replied to Clarky's topic in Basses For Sale
These Alleva Coppolo LG basses really are examples of Jimmy Coppolo at his very best. Beautifully made and just so 'playable' with a really wide range of totally usable tones - it's pretty much impossible to get a bad sound out of one of these! His electronics are the most musical around in my opinion, anyone that might be interested really shouldn't be put off by the fact that this is an 'active' 60's type bass. There's the simple passive option if required but the pre-amp really has to be heard to get a feel for just how good this unit is -
I really don't like that yellow - let's hope it's not a production final colour! I'm now selling my TF550 if anyone's interested. Great amp but doesn't seem to work brilliantly with my new super light Aggie cabs & I'm more wedded to the extreme light weight of the Aggie's than I am the sound of the TF Haven't put it up for sale properly yet as I thought I had quite a keen buyer but he seems to have gone quiet on me now so I'll get round to it soon.
