1- try harmonies in the band 2- continue to learn piano (self taught) 3- try and get comfortable with various scales on bass rather than falling into the minor pentatonic scale all the time.

Just to let everyone know, my very first ever gig (think it was July 2009) was a charity gig with no payment. The local jam band who I went up with a few times earlier on in the year had organised this night for a young girl who was very ill. By the time this charity night was setup I had been in my current band ( my guitarist and drummer are well known in the local music scene as they are monsters,,,yes I am a lucky bass-steward). We were ASKED what time slot we fancied. Low and behold we were on at that exact time. This was a jam band who organised ths night (they nicely added us as a headline band in the local newspaper). Goes to show the difference in very poor organisation and amazing organisation. Just to let you all know that 6 months on I have now had a few gigs but I will never forget how important jam sessions in your locals are and how well they will treat you as long as you show them the same respect. Plus its a god send not having to lug a bass amp to a gig hahahahaha.

nice one mate, well all the best with the sale. give me a shout when you get the 8x10 and let me know how it is

I have problably stuck this on but here are a few all the same.

Do they have ABM Evo I parts? Etc? Seems like a really good deal since it has the bare minimum of features which is something that I like. I think I'll email Ashdown and see what the score is.[/quote] like a said I have the evo II and possibly looking for something diffent either in way of head or my ampeg B4x10hlf cab. if you fancy off loading that 8x10 you have or other heads i would be interested

who manufactures powered bass cabs???

I bout the evo II a few months ago, only difference is the evo II has the built in ompressor. The head is awesome and so simple to use, I think the ABM would be cool to use but there are just too many dials. I would be suprised if this head last long on their shelves as its a alot of watts for your money. The amp although seems basic, does give a huge amount of tonal change. All in all dudes its awesome.

Just an update on The licks. ive just finished my first gig in Slanj (previously connelys) in greenock. Gig went well and it I think the sound was pretty spot on. Only strange thing was the when I asked what kind of time they wanted us to start, I was told to start at 10 till just back of 11.30 (greenock has a curfew at half 11 and you ant get into any pubs) then we can have a break then do our second set!!!!!!!!!!!!! I then advised them that our first set is usually 45mins then a 20min break then another 45min set. So we compramised and we started at half 10 till half 11 had a break till 11.50 and played till half half 12. I think they got their monies worth with about 26 getting played.

amazing find Phil. After selecting only 2 samples I had a sound similar to DJ Format. again dude amazing find.

The guy sounds like a massive tool and I'd have called him worse than you did. There's guys like this at every level of live music. We supported Breed 77 a few years back, and literally halfway through our allotted time their road manager was standing next to the stage waving his arms and tapping his watch (even the crowd could see him doing this). Fortunately all the guys at the venue were our friends so weren't about to let this d*ck get in the way of our playing (we later found out that the road manager had been acting like a massive douchebag since the band arrived), so we finished our set as normal. When we finished we started to load our gear off the stage, whereupon this guy starts yelling at us and telling us to f*ck off and let a real band on stage, so we started dawdling. It took us about ten minutes longer than it normally would have to get our stuff off the stage, and by the end of it the guy had almost had a haemorrhage. To their credit, the band apologised for his behaviour after the show.[/quote] cheers max, i feel better noo haha

bass on all kasabian stuff is quite basic(songs ive tried anyway) no need for a capo, just needs to be quicker changing notes or learn his scales and fretboard

yeah I think I may have over reacted, but I have seen reply after reply that this kinda thing happens quite alot when 'organisers' get involved. looks like its best just to organise your own gigs like we are doing the morra

TO YOU AND YOUR HAVE A SNIFTER, A SHOT, A DRAM IN ANY CASE GET f***in LEATHERED AND LETS HAVE A BLINDIN 2010.

big hello from the west coast mate
