    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='983402' date='Oct 10 2010, 03:30 PM']What time do you expect to be hitting the stage Clarky?[/quote] Hey Jack - sorry I have no idea as yet but I suspect its going to be pretty late (as in past midnight). Doors open at 9pm and there's a few bands below us on the bill. We do have another gig upcoming at The Comedy Pub in Soho (7 Oxendon Street) on 23 November which is likely to be a bit more convenient!

    First gig is approaching fast and we don't have our first rehearsal until next weekend. Eeek! Apparently there could be as many as 14 of us on stage including backing singers, horns, stilt-wearing souzaphone player, and various burlesque/circus type performers (fire breathers etc). Bit different to my punk trio Here's a link to the Gigs post with flyer [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=106034&pid=983396&st=0&#entry983396"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry983396[/url]

    Rattlin Bone is playing its inaugural gig on 30 October at The Miller, SE1 London. Its a 'Halloween horrorfest' with zombie bands etc and should be a hoot! Here's the flyer [attachment=61000:File0001...84425739.jpg]

    If you can get down to London I have a Barefaced Vintage 2x15 that would match perfectly and at a really good saving from new (£475 including new padded cover, v £700 new). Check it out in the FS section. Edit: here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=105995"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=105995[/url]. Its too big to post unfortunately

    Incidentally, if no cash offers are forthcoming, I would consider a trade with cash my way for a Barefaced Compact (with the vintage type grill). However, cash much preferred!

    Here's a pic of the cab underneath my (now sold) Orange AD200B valve head [attachment=60973:clarky_basses_513.JPG]

    [quote name='sockdeluxe_mikey' post='983174' date='Oct 10 2010, 11:03 AM']I'd absolutely really like to try out the Vintage then. For what I want it's pretty much not right but you never know I guess! Speaking of which, do you have a link to the Surrey bassday? I keep on losing it but I've said I'm going![/quote] Well obviously I would prefer to sell the Vintage before then but if it's still available I will bring it along to the Bass Bash. here's the link basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=102335

    Sorry, my in-laws are up North so I tend to avoid venturing further than Watford If anyone is trekking down to the BassDay in Surrey next month I could bring the Vintage along to that, although I appreciate it's a month away still

    Afraid no post as I would never find a box big enough and the right shape

    I got this from Doctorbass about 4 or 5 months ago and it's in very good condition. I recently added a custom padded cover at a cost of £50-odd. Reason for selling is I am re-assessing what my rig needs to be, especially in light of my new DB gig. Just got a MB combo and as I have a Sansamp BDDI I can do the dirt /rock sound with this ( will probably add a stacking extension cab in case of bigger gigs). So the Vintage probably is going to get used once in a blue moon only. If you buy this together with my TC 112 cab ( FS at £275) - which would give you Little and Large options to go with your head - I will give you a good deal. £725 for both, can't say fairer than that for two cabs in superb condition that would cost you £1029 new Pickup only from west London (nr Hammersmith) as it's large, even though it's weirdly light! Here are the specs [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/vintage.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/vintage.htm[/url] and these are £700 new, by the way

    Sunday morning bump for an essentially new cab ( probably 30 minutes of home playing time only!) at a £50-odd quid discount from new price. Or see trade option in post above. £25 discount if you also buy my Barefaced Vintage cab, FS elsewhere on BC for £475

    [quote name='keeponehandloose' post='982835' date='Oct 9 2010, 07:08 PM']Clamp it on the bridge.[/quote] OK, didn't know you could do that. Now feel stupid
  13. Clarky
    Bilbo mentioned having one of these in a thread but I reckon most clip on tuners wouldn't have a wide enough clamp part to hold on to a DB headstock. Anyone have a recommendation here for a particular model that fits a DB? Many thanks as ever, Clarky

    [quote name='PTB' post='982510' date='Oct 9 2010, 01:35 PM']I use the little MarkBass 1x12 combo[/quote] On several BC'ers advice, I got a MarkBass CMD121P combo and, apart from being very light and portable, it seems to handle DB and EUB very well - especially now that jakesbass showed me how to use a Fishman Platinum Pro preamp into it. Not gigged it yet but in the home situation it sounds very good.
  15. Clarky
    Just bought Fran's 51P reissue. Absolutely immaculate condition and he went to the trouble of setting up properly before he handed it over (as we swapped bridges). Recommended BC'er!

    Just put the Presto strings on my Aria EUB. What a difference. From being (in my hands at least - not those of the manly Beedster ) virtually unplayable with transatlantic cables, its now very slick and easy. Sounds good through the MB combo too and a pretty good approximation of a DB. Now considering whether I should swap over the Thomastiks on my DB to these or similar gut-alikes (Silver Slaps/Honeys) ....
  17. Clarky
    Just bought Chris' Aria EUB. Our umpteenth deal and as usual a good experience. Thanks mate!
  18. Clarky
    Just bought a set of Presto DB strings from John. Very nice, vgc and arrived in a couple of days. thanks mate!

    I used to (10 years ago) have jazz DB lessons from an old jazzer. I couldn't get the theory, which is why I gave up. But I had the most joy simply playing along to CDs. Chet Baker stuff ( especially the era when he was doing vocals as well as trumpet) is generally very slow paced and melodic and I found that a really good starting point. Also early big band Jazz like Duke Ellington (eg Take the A train) which will often have blues based structures and so will be familiar to you, TNIT.

    Steve Miller band was poor. Even when they played his old hit Abracadabra it sounded like a cover version. Plus who was playing the bass? Noone visible so either the bassist was off stage or they were playing to a recording ( which thought wasn't allowed)
  21. Clarky
    Currently D'Addario Chromes on my P bass, Alembic s/ s rounds on my, er, Alembic (really nice strings, very smooth) and EB Slinkies on my Wal. Horses for courses but the Alembics are my current favourites

    Rush and Renaissance both start with the letter 'R' and contain the letter 's'. The similarities are becoming spooky. Whereas Level 42 contains neither. Proof if ever it was needed
  24. Clarky
    Can I say that, in addition to seeing Level 42 in 1983 at Oxford Poly, I also saw Renaissance ('the Northern Lights') a few years before that There aren't enough Renaissance threads In fact this may be the first mention of Renaissance ever on BassChat. Fancy that?
  25. Clarky
    If I were a more technical bass player, I would say 80s Metallica. But I'm not, in which case I will say Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds after Barry Adamson left them.
