Great photo and album as well!

Cheers for that WOT. Bought!

I used this set up and if you stick a ART Tube Pre Amp at the end of your signal chain, it will provide a hot enough signal to drive the power amp. The MXR DI I have doesnt give a hot enough signal to do this on it`s own. And someone has one for sale on here at the moment. You can use it for vocal, bass, guitar etc.

Bought a personal monitor from Dave. Exactly as described, good communication and fast postage. Thanks! Gerry

"She used to be a diplomat, now she`s down the laundromat" Not one of Gary Kempt`s finest lyric.

Re Every breath. I either read or saw an interview with Andy where he said that it was indeed his riff and that he was quite happy with the deal that him and Sting came to over it`s use. I don`t think Andy is at the poor house knocking on the door.

A guy who worked with a company I worked with for a while found out I was a bass player. He was on the lookout as he had apparently mislaid his bass player. He then proceeded to tell me in no uncertain terms that if I wanted the pleasure of playing for him I would need a P bass, Sansamp and use a pick. As I didn`t have a P bass, a Sansamp and can`t play with a pick to save myself, I told him where to go. This turned out to be the right thing to do as it turns out he was a right fu*kwit!

Gotta agree. I bought the double one and at £135 I thought it was a bit pricey but for the spec, so far it`s been great.

Just sold Chris another bass, the 3rd I think. Great guy to deal with and a nice guy. Thanks! Gerry

Just in case you haven`t seen this, a cracking interview from 2013 that was broadcast on Vintage tv. Enjoy

Welcome! Yeah quite a few guys on here have done it. You may have to give the neck a tweak and alter the nut but not always. Someone who has done it will no doubt be along shortly.

Finding a drummer is easy, finding a good drummer who isn`t already in 4 other bands, not so easy. If you are on facebook try the Musicians available in central Scotland or Gumtree. Strange as it may seem, I seem to do ok finding people from Gumtree. Once you sieve out the nutters! Good luck man.

Cool guys, ta for the explanation.

I have read this many times over the years but what does it actually mean? What is scooping the mids?

I only starting to really listen to them at the start of lockdown and I`m glad I did. Toiler on the sea is a fantastic song. Luckily enough I think that Baz is a great front man well up to the job. It seems that some fans of the band can`t get over the fact that Hugh left...in 1990! Re the bass tone. In the gig below, there is no amps on stage just Ashdown cabs but they don`t seem to have any cables coming from them when you see them round the back so I don`t know whats going on.

A few years back he did a live session for Ken Bruce and he was dreadful. Granted it was like 11 am but he sounded like a bad pub singer to me.

Sorry, I should have read the other replies before posting

If you have a 4 x10 and a 2 x 10 running from a TH500 and you still can`t be heard over the drummer, either you or your band have some serious problems I used one of those Ashdown cabs with MAG 300 head a few years back in quite a loud band and could be heard fine. They aren`t the best cabs but all the same. Can you not borrow another head from someone, ditch the pedals and try going right into the amp and see if it`s loud enough?

If it`s in a hardcase, Overland Express. Depends how much it`s worth as most will not insure if it`s not in a case. Either that or UPS? https://www.overlandexpress.co.uk/guitar-courier?fbclid=IwAR3fK12yJXVe5pSTJRoCn6PCVLrrwmn_D6OEojzQ-hn3VTwN_IRVMXrmLfg

I have mostly gigged a P bass or version of. Earlier this year I bought a MM Sterling and am using this or a modified Ray 4 for gigs. I could never get on with MM`s in the past as I couldn`t anchor my thumb where I like it but I have added a wooden thumb rest to the body`s and this simple mod has made them usable. Also the neck on the Sterling is perfect for me.

Just listened to Pigs on YT. Bloomin fantastic! Ordered the blu ray version. Ta for the heads up.
