    Thanks for that, I will watch this. Ray was one of the true greats and master of swinging/walking

    We have just heard from BBC London's programmes producer that All The Queens Ravens will be played on Saturday night between 8-9pm on Gary Crowley’s New Music Show, BBC London 94.9fm. The show runs between 7-10pm, with an hour of Introducing bands from the London area in the middle hour. They will probably be playing our track Aura Negra. Excited we are. YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

    Here's a pic taken today in very dingey light. The white-ish bits are just fluff that I haven't been bothered to remove [attachment=135426:DSCF0349.JPG]

    Dummy by Portishead What a fantastic album! A while since I last heard it. So worth a fresh listen

    I got this a couple of months back from BC'er chrkelly and have used it for a couple of gigs. Fabulous sounding and silly light cab but - now that I have my BigE 4x5 cab (imported from US) - I have my larger double bass gigs covered (and my Crazy8 cab covers small gigs and rehearsals). £[s]350[/s] 300 plus post; obviously collection/handover preferred in London. No trades thanks as I have too much gear already!

    [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1369255838' post='2087046'] Ah but Jack, you usually have yours truly to help with the carrying of stuff... [/quote] Read the post above yours Silvia. Apparently "all" the stuff
  13. Clarky
    Do you actually need all that PA gear Jack? I've never played a venue yet where they didn't have some form of PA and all you need do then is bring your own uber-light neodymium rig plus bass and a DI box. It might not sound hi-fi but the punters probably don't (bar the lurking BC gear stalkers!) notice the difference
  14. Clarky
    Very useful piece of kit for DB. More functionality than a Plat Pro and can be used to DI if you cannot bring an amp along or are having amplification problems (I always bring one in my DB gig bag just in case). Have a bump on me
  15. Clarky
    Oh sod it! One last bump

    I really don't understand how they can have received the trademark/patent protection. In the pharmaceutical world (my area), a patent can only be granted if its novel and non-obvious to someone skilled in the art. A requirement of novelty is no 'prior art' (ie, references anywhere to something that closely resembles the invention). None of this applies to the R*ck design currently as far as I can see. Also patents expire (20 years from application) as the system is a tit-for-tat, ie, the inventor has a period of protection/exclusivity to exploit the invention at the end of which everyone is free to copy that invention. Again, given the age of the R*ck design, how does this apply in any way, shape or form? I wouldn't actually be surprised if they would have difficulties upholding this in a court challenge but the simple threat of possibly huge legal expenses is probably scary enough for most to desist. Including BassChat Possibly also explains why well-funded "competitors" (eg that big German music store) are happily selling copies

    Can't get gigs!

    Clarky replied to Low End Bee's topic in Gigs

    We book our own gigs, Ad, and its a real struggle. Only one since March, two in May and then nothing until July. Too many bands and too few venues ....

    Was there ever a better recognised keyboard intro? http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=fbFxzb-YIxE&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DfbFxzb-YIxE

    In case any Sarf Londoners fancy a night out on Friday 31st May, we are playing the Effra Social (next to the Hootananny pub). We will probably be playing a couple of half-hour sets, onstage about 9pm or shortly thereafter Be good to see some BCers there [url="http://effrasocial.com/"]http://effrasocial.com/[/url]

    Guts typically cost in a range of £200 to £400. Ouch http://www.thomann.de/gb/search.html?gf=strings_for_double_basses&oa=prd

    Is this still available?

    [quote name='3below' timestamp='1368908789' post='2082999'] Do my bit for Europe by reducing the wine lake [/quote] Yep, its gone now
  24. Clarky
    Final bump. I guess its a bit special interest, as well as a fair chunk of cash. Its not exactly a chore to hang on to it, although I could do with the moolah
  25. Clarky
    Right now I need a fretless in my band and I am a lot more comfortable with fretted (so I play that at home for fun/relaxation) - thus I need to have both for now. If I stopped playing in a band, I would cut down to one bass (either my P or J) and one DB ....and flog the rest to pay for other fun outlets
