Cheers! Unless anyone happens to be driving up from bridgend sort of way, id be happy to share petrol...

Ive tried some ashdown stuff, but not that specific combo, so i cant really comment, but ive got a Hartke vx2515 which is definatly worth looking at! Great tone, very versitile and plenty loud enough for most things, only on BIG venues does it ever get Di'd..

Does anyone know the easiest way from cardiff central station? Would it be grangetown station?

Niice! I love the tweed rig!

The cheaper one looks better too! (plus it doesn't say stag on it )

Mine is about 8 meters, to my garage

[quote name='benzies123' post='638313' date='Oct 27 2009, 06:47 PM']I actually talked to my bass teacher today who started a jazz course at Leeds College of Music a few years ago before dropping out, he reckons that if you show a good understanding of traditional walking bass in one piece, the other can be more contemporary. It makes a lot of sense really as showing a good understanding of core principles like the chap above said is a necessity, but at the same time they should want to hear what else you enjoy and also see some proof that you listen to and play a broader spectrum of music then just the typical standards. It's only my advice so do as you please but from what I have heard do at least one piece with a good walking section, it doesn't even have to be difficult; you just need to show a solid performance. I have been playing the chicken a hell of a lot recently, it seems to be following me around (this is actually highly beneficial now I have a nice fretless!). But yeah awesome tune! Just in case you were wondering my pieces at current are A Night In Tunisia and Spain* - that is unless they specify I should do otherwise. If not Spain I'll do a track like Stolen Moments or Caravan. My name's Jamie by the way, what's yours?[/quote] hehe cool! Im pete, I hope to see you there!

Im applying to trinity and leeds too (as well as royal welsh college, and Birmingham) and i wasn't sure about what sort of thing they wanted either. I planned on playing 'Blue monk' and 'the chicken' (Pee Wee Ellis) but i have also emailed them asking if this is too modern, and I expect them to say that they want more traditional stuff! Btw, if you don't mind me asking, whats your name, I may well see you at some of the auditions!

Hmm, thanks, maybe something a bit smaller is necessary!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='630794' date='Oct 19 2009, 09:16 PM']Ooooh not sure I'd like to transport a DB112 to a gig via train, especially as I assume you'd need to also carry a small amp and a bass! [/quote] Yeah, hopefully something small that could go in my bass gigbag... I know it wouldn't be easy, but as long as it would be possible!

Great, because I wont have a car next year, i may have to use the train to some gigs, so the weight was the only issue really, for any gigs like this it would only be one anyway, so it these sound ideal! Just got to try one out properly now!

Sorry to bring this thread back but, For those with Db 112s, are they easy to carry, I know they're fairly heavy, but are the handles suitable placed, and the shape good, to make them alright to carry?

I'll be there with my stingray 3 eq with flats...

Cheers, unfortunately it wont fit! so I wont have it!

i'll take it if it will fit my cab! Do you reckon you could take the internal measurements of it for me?

Where are you based?

If there any stands left i'd cover postage..

im no longer coming to manchester so count me out..

If he doesn't have it, im in Manchester on Wednesday, i could collect..

OO yes please! I don't mind helping with postage though!

Nice! he's great, I saw him live with Mornington locket last month. it was awesome!
