  1. Just checked back on my NBD post for this bass which has quite a lot of info from previous owners, it was built in 2009.
  2. I think @skelf may be able to answer these questions.
  3. I wondered where this had ended up, stunning bass. I regret selling this but then again, it is too long for me. You will not find a broader range of tones than the filters on this bass provide, it's a glorious thing. One day it'll find a permanent home. I think this is possibly the most beautiful bass Alan has made.
  4. I have gigged with the QRC K12.2 both with and without PA support. My Setup was essentially bass > HX Stomp > QSC and a line out the back of the QSC to the desk. In this case I would have the QSC in front of me in the trad monitor position. Without PA support I'd use the same setup but have the QSC behind me as backline. I never found it wanting in any gig situation, which were mostly like the ones you describe. I also made the change to FRFR after reading this thread and it's the best decision bass-wise I've made in 40 years of playing. I would never return to an amp/cab setup.
  5. Yes. RCF, Yamaha and QSC. I used a QSC K12.2 that did everything you ask.
  6. He is a similarly reflective mood in the P.I.L. documentary The Public Image Is Rotten.
  7. @Soledadis quite right, very much optimised in the manner described. I have never seen a capo specifically designed for bass, which is why I’ve tried quite a few. I settled on the G7th C31020 Newport Capo. @Lfalex v1.1I was just rummaging through my desk and it turns out I have two of these or some reason, you are welcome to one if you want it? Very early on in my musical endeavours I saw a band and the bass player was using a capo so I never thought anything of using one. I play up around the 12th quite a lot and play a lot of chords, it’s just another tool in the bag for me. In fact, sod it, here’s me using one.
  8. I use capos quite a lot and subsequently have tried out lots of makes. I finally settled on G7th.
  9. I think this documentary could be seen as Craig's revenge/lucky escape.
  10. Bros: After The Sreaming Stops - BBC4 Friday (3rd Sept) at 00:30 (Sat morning). Just in case anyone missed this heart-warming documentary glimpse behind the scenes of the Goss brothers come-back* *I’m joshing, it’s just a hilariously cringe-making car crash that you will probably watch between your fingers.

  12. You are not reneging in any sense whatsoever. Likewise I am not attending this* nor the SW Bash this year for similar reasons to yourself. *Actually, I will be at the Midlands Bash very briefly but only to pick up a bass from @Jabba_the_gut but that'll be outside in the car park.
  13. Big Fad Gadget head here. Some of his early gigs were amazing, man he used to injure himself chucking himself around. A sad loss.
  14. I've just been through all 76 pages of this excellent thread, stuffed full of lovely goodness it is, proper thread. Bang up job @Reggaebass *applauds*
  15. Clueless bastards With well paid jobs Will not turn into Sly & Robbie Just because they've installed Ableton On their Macs Yeah, ta la. I'd love to know what track this is sampled from...
  16. Yeah, shut up fat thumbs. 😘
