Totally gutted. Very sad day for everyone involved in Bmx.

Thanks for an enjoyable day. It was certainly an eye opener regarding modern amplification. My choice of the day would have to be the GK Fusion 550 and the purple Warwick Streamer. Lovely gear, Thanks guys. ...oh, Barefaced Cabs...mental physics going on there. Cheers, Bren. Green Spector.

I met him at a signing before a clinic in Manchester in '95 and he doesn't seem to have aged a day! [/quote] I was at the same one and your right, he aint aged much. I still have the signed photo on my cupboard.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1453645760' post='2961325'] It's already happening. [/quote] Just because you can doesn't mean you should Edit.... I've seen a clip of the Metallica concert. It wasn't what I would call silent and was staged that way due to environmental constraints. Drums are drums and drummer's make noise.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1453629056' post='2961087'] I can see a time where the big names start endorsing iem systems and di boxes rather than cabs. The younger players are embracing technology and they are the next batch of purchasers, the dinosaurs won't be here for ever deafening themselves. Silent gigs are alright out there where the audience all where head phones, imagine a group of kids that could wear head phones plugged into their phone with an app that mixes them all together via wifi including fx etc and recording capability compared to setting up a lad of expensive heavy kit their parents have to drive around! [/quote] That sounds awful... in more ways than one. It's certainly not what I would class as going to see a gig. The punters may as well stay at home and watch it on a monitor, for that matter the band may as well be at home and not necessarily at the same one as the other members of the group.

Not sure if it's only the B Social he's using or if he's gone the whole hog with a full touring rig. Very interested in following this move.

R.I.P. Lemmy sh*t news.

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1451142012' post='2938520'] Can do but it is early 90's, unsure what you might expect! [/quote] That would be great. Hopefuly the neck will be similar..ish and it will sound like a Warwick, lol. I've just started giging again after several years away and have started to get shoulder issues, I'm thinking a Streamer will be more forgiving when hanging around my neck due to the body shape and strap location.

If someone could bring a 90s thru neck Streamer 4 string it would be appreciated. I would like to compare it to my Thumb. Cheers

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1450911159' post='2937054'] I like Doug, had a chance to chat with him at a small 200 seater gig here in Milwaukee. Blue [/quote] I met him in Newcastle back in the early 90s, I think it was a Trace Elliot or Warwick promo tour. A very intersting player and a top bloke as well.

Just spotted Doug Wimbish on the Ashdown site with a link to a youtube demo. He's knocking out a few videos using the B Social unit. I wonder if he's moving his stage rig over to Ashdown, too? I've only ever seen him use Trace Elliot in the past. I really like Doug so will be keeping a close eye on this. A very interesting catch Ashdown!

That's cool. It looks similar to the Fender Japan PB70 but with added mojo.

Wow, good luck with this.

Excellent - I shall try and get to this one.

Streamer.... in black

SV known by many average joes, most other bass players are known by not so many.

Cheers Truckstop. Active is it then or some sort of wedge bass combo.
