    Just met up with @silverfoxnik to hand over some mullah for his Custom NR Thunderbird. A smooth and easy transaction all the way through and a pleasure to meet the Silverfox and chat about bass stuff. Delighted with the bass and a pleasure to meet you Nik.

    Prepare, make sure everything works before setting off to the gig and then enjoy!

    I had a Harley Benton 5 string which wasn't Uber heavy and didn't neck dive. They sometimes need a set up as some of the fret edges can be sharp, other than that they're fantastic basses for the money

    GAS, a bit like nicotine addiction, pops up and grabs you when least expected. I shall remove myself to a small dark room to repeat the mantra...."I don't need another bass.....I don't need etc etc"

    Bought Andy's GK150 combo. Great guy to deal with and a very easy transaction. The amp is superb ..very happy bunny 🙂

    I take your point that they haven't altered it, but I prefer this version

    I really like First to Eleven stuff. They formed as a covers outfit during lockdown - they tour in the states as First Eleven and also have an originals band (can't remember the name) Audra (for that is her name) has a beautiful voice (ok, I've watched 1 or several of their vids) Don't like Coldplay? listen to this...it might change your mind

    I was at a KT Tunstall gig a while ago and they got 4 bars into a song before KT stops playing and announces for all to hear that they'd properly fubar'd the start and would be starting again. So I guess that means....always follow the singer Ms Tunstall puts on a damn good show btw so would recommend popping along next time she's in your town

    Hola!

    Welcome This is a great forum and there's loads of helpful advice available ...and then there's the For Sale section which most of us drool over some (all) of the time, convincing our selves that painting the front room can wait while we acquire the next 'must have' bass, gear or pedal. Enjoy 😊

    The floor tom was right in front of my cabs....wonder if that was a factor
  17. ricksterphil
    Thanks. The cabs were close to the drums so that probably didn't help
  18. ricksterphil
    I'll try that, thanks

    Not sure if a parametric or graphic EQ would be best....I need to research how a parametric EQ works and how to adjust it effectively

    Bass at 2 o'clock, treble 10 o'clock, drive 11 o'clock
  21. ricksterphil
    You're right, I could 🙂
  22. ricksterphil
    Thanks. I probably had the bass tone a bit high on reflection

    Anyone use an EQ pedal in front of their R400. I had issues with booming notes on my last gig so just wondering if anyone else has and if an EQ pedal solved and if so, which one Soooo many questions 🙂
  24. ricksterphil
    Thanks, very useful..... I'll save and refer to if it happens again 🙂 I've seen the Genzler pedal and am pondering

    So played a pub gig on Friday, had problems with some notes booming. A when played at 5th fret was the worst, got round it by playing very softly or playing open A near the bridge. My amp is a Handbox 400 so there isn't an EQ on the amp. I was playing my Mike Lull M4V which is active, but playing in passive mode as the active mode wasn't working for some reason, even with new batteries. This particular pub is a bit tricky for sound as we had a few issues with the PA. Any thoughts anyone? Should I buy a graphic EQ for my board? Ive tried a Boss GB7 in the past and didn't like it as it seemed to act more like a pre-amp. The amp was going through 2 12 inch cabs, a Handbox and a DHC, so was operating at 4ohms. Not sure if that's a factor.
