the ones ive had to do this week have been made of stone(stone roses) and Australia(manic street preachers) for tonights set.and 99ways to die(megadeth) just because its a cool tune

I went to see megadeth in Newcastle last night.the gig as a whole was really good but daves vocals were ropey as usual but the stand out of the night was dave ellefson .what a bass player

+1 for the streamliner

we dont do mad fridays got to much invested in our set up.and cba dealing with all the piss heads that only go out once or twice a year

if your not happy with it just send it back and ask for a replacement

cheers mate.the cheeky git also asked if i would swap my streamliner and focus cabs for his rig....erm no chance was the reply

i was talking to another bass player last night at our gig and he asked me a question that i didn't know the answer to so i thought id ask on here
he has a peavey max450 head 1 4ohm cab and 2 8ohm cabs.if he was to put the 4ohm cab into one speaker jack and then daisey chain the 2 8ohm cabs from the other would the amp see a 2ohm load or less.just to be on the safe side i told him not to do it

yes the volume knob does work buti had to almost turn the volume off to got the signal low enough for the pa.then it was to weak for the powered monitor i was using

tonight i ran it straight into our mixer and found that even with the -db button pressed the signal was still way too hot for the desk.so ive orderd a -20db attenuator to see if that helps

you could try upping your mids

after the gig just point at a random woman and tell them she says you two must be reall small in the trouser department if you feel you need to use full stacks.

now ive spent a bit more time with it im a bit happier.im using it in play mode with pedals 1-4 Aguilar chorus flange sansamp not to fussed with any other effects really

well got mine this morning and erm not to sure i will ever use it live.saying that i will use it if my streamliner ever goes down just plug it right into the desk.lots and lots of effects i'll never ever use.kids are home now so i will have another go with it on sunday

should have mine on tuesday.downloaded the instructions and it looks complicated.but then again i am betamax man when it comes to technology

thats my xmas sorted

no not really.because ive gone with a streamliner and 2 2x10 cabs stacked verticaly i get really defensive when our singer gets women up onto the stage.it might not be the most expensive rig but its mine and i worked hard to pay for it so i dont want it knocked over by some drunken bint that wont give two shits if it gets damaged

keeping an eye on this topic.ive thought about valve swapping in my streamliner but i was waiting for someone else to do it first

half way through tonights gig i almost came to blows with some bints boyfriend because i dared to tell her to get down off one of our bass bins.even though i tried explaining that they were over a grand each and that they wernt ment to be stood on.as they were busy calling me asshole ect she spilled her drink all over the bin she had been standing on.so how do you deal with pissed up punters?

we have the same problem but its our guitarists that sneak the volume lelevs up during the gig.because our drummer uses an electronic kit he has stored the drum tracks for a few songs so that he can go out front and set the pa.
so at the start of the first set alls good then you start to get louder and louder guitars and by the end of it its sounds like we are standing in a music shop.but you cant get it through to them . +1 to charics post

the god that failed metallica
unforgivable sinner lene marlin
practice what you preach testament
take no prisoners megadeth
destroying the manger nocturnus
cambodia kim wilde
i am not a robot marina and the diamonds
independant love song scarlet
skeletons of society slayer
silent lucidity queensryche

not a good set list but covers all bases

kids came in so stopped

i find with my streamliner i roll off the bass to about 10 o'clock

the whole band dropped the tuning brought on by the fact that our singer wanted us to do some covers which were to high for him.so we decided to drop the lot

that drummers awsome

our band played in Eb for the first time last night and every song sounded wrong.but the singer said it made his job so much easier and it really beefed up the sound.oh and the pub was packed so it wasnt to bad
