[quote name='tauzero' post='990835' date='Oct 17 2010, 02:43 AM']I am generally happy to share gear. I try to avoid buying fragile amps like Ampegs[/quote] Ampeg!! when theres a nuclear fallout, only cockroaches and ampeg will roam the land my friend!!

[quote name='Bidd' post='990826' date='Oct 17 2010, 01:53 AM']Thanks for everyone's views - it makes me feel more comfortable knowing that a lot of you not only feel the same, but are prepared to say no outright. Anyway, my amp seems to be fine, but somehow my kettle lead has been misplaced through the night - great. The soundguy had no idea so I presume that some f***er (sorry for language but I'm tired and angry) has nicked it. So now I'll need to buy another one (I havea couple of spares lying around the house but they're not very long). What annoys me the most however is that I've basically provided a service and equipment, and not even received a simple thankyou. That's the last time I'm ever amp sharing at a promoters' request (unless I'm in the headline band, then I'll expect a deposit) Rant over, goodnight y'all[/quote] if nothing else,, its a lesson learned brother. Its true what they say,,,,good guys finish last.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='990468' date='Oct 16 2010, 06:32 PM']I'm going to go against the flow... Play it in E and play the main riff on the bass inc' the horn section! [/quote] damn tootin brother, i play in a 3 piece, its up to me to keep the main riff going and play the horn section part to keep the song going at all times, especially when the guitarist does any solos.

[quote name='bartelby' post='990176' date='Oct 16 2010, 01:30 PM']Yeah, I'd rather not have lessons from him... [/quote] lovely bass though,,,just not sure about the colour

which vid is it???

I think you nailed it by saying the promoter should hire one,,,,im sure this guy is making more money than all the bands. Why shouldnt he hire a rig,,,or even better yet, hire yours if you want to do it, plus with a nice tasty deposit. All of which is paid before you set your gear up. what kinda rig will you use? what age is it? No way in hell would I be the one supplying any of my ampeg gear, I have all my stuff in pristine condition and I intend to keep it that way. Its just sheer cheek that this promoter Knob expects it to be ok, plus not even saying thank you, thats the nail in the coffin for me. Advise him your rig is not for the whole of Manchesters music scenes workhorse. You spend too much money on your gear just to have some yahoo treat it with the same respect as a 2dollar whore.

[quote name='Mr Bassman' post='988526' date='Oct 14 2010, 10:16 PM']Glad you like it Steven[/quote] Yeah, love it more and more Keith, I am just suprised at the output it has. Plus I got the oppertunity to meet you and your good lady. I really think it makes the deal a bit more enjoyable when you meet up. Thankfully my genre is rock blues, so I dont have the issue as MacDaddy was having as my drummer (my brother-in-law) is pure blues and only goes crazy once in a while, which is something i wish he would do more of!!!!!! As soon as I get gigs lined up with my new band I may use this as my main head at somepoint, however I will have the B5R with me just incase

so whats all this nonsence about not playing this in E hahaha. Best not have weetabix either as I know alot of people who eat that!!!!!!!! whats the point in being different just for the sake of being different!

we went ahead and played the beck,bogert and appice version. It suited our style more, plus it was the best and simplest song in our setlist.

Ok so i thought I would add the new addition to the family. I recently purchased an ampeg portabass 250H and matching 2x10cab. love them to bits and heres the pics. Goes to show you can never have enough ampeg hahaha

I know this is an old thread,,,,,,but guess who I seen on the telly again this afternoon......hopefully Jen can stick a link up if I cant find one of her playing the DB with horse. Again though its a fantastic bit of playing by Jen aned Co, I only had one real concern though,,,,,,,,,no smiles or laughs!!!!!!!! and I know Jen has a lovely smile;) Oh thats how rumours start hahahahaha

[quote name='indiegrungesound' post='985913' date='Oct 12 2010, 04:49 PM']I had a full Ampeg Portabass 250 combo a few years back after my old Trace Elliot Commando died a sudden death. Dead light. Nice tone. I like the head more than the cab though, as the 2 x 10's only went so far. Ended up part exing it for a Hartke rig as I wanted a louder rig. I think Hartke's heads are fantastic. That said, I'd be more than happy to get a Portabass head if one ever turns up 2nd hand somewhere! Anyway, just my own opinion. Hope you enjoy it![/quote] Yeah im very suprised with the tone from the head.....love it to bits, although i would kinda disagree about the cab matey, I think the 2x10 has a wicked sound. In saying that i aint gigged it yet so I totally disagree......YET hahahahaha

[quote name='Musicman20' post='985906' date='Oct 12 2010, 04:44 PM']Well ive finally sorted my order. Big Al 4 Single H, and Big Al 5 SSS along with a Sterling 5 HS. Got rid of lots to get to this point, and now need to save like mad....but im very excited![/quote] Hey Gaz,,,,did nobody tell you theres a recession on!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote name='BigAlonBass' post='984166' date='Oct 11 2010, 10:33 AM']I recommend lots of reverb and delay on the desk, as it covers a multitude of sins! [/quote] 4 hail mary's and 6 hows yer fathers wouldnt hide my sins hahahaha
