who's the bass player? I remember a guy in a hat?

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1377183565' post='2184479'] If I could I would but, unfortunately I work a lot of weekends and since I have been on Basschat I haven't been able to attend any of them [/quote] Bu99er. Well my experience is yes. I've had all kinds of heavy and currently have a Tech Soundsystems 2x12 which is an easy one hand lift. It can cope with ridiculous levels of volume and sounds good to me. I favour a bass sound that has plenty of bottom end without sounding muffled with boosted low mids to cut through. I gig with Happy Jack who has various Barefaced cabs, he never has lack of volume trouble, and quite often sounds rather nice despite his preference for flats

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1377176915' post='2184345'] Oo-er! Better lay off the sprouts, then... I may actually be able to make this one. Will I bring The Bass Doc 'Discreet' Custom P? [/quote] has to be the P!

come to a bass bash and try out as many cabs as possible, and see for yourself

the only downside to my band is that I'm not playing bass in it.

My Hamer Chaparral has a licensed Floyd. No tuning worries at all and I used to do silly Steve Vai and Vinny Vincent things What I would say with floaters, is to be careful where you rest your palm when you play, as the slightest pressure on the bridge will make it move slightly and pull it out of tune.

i got a Johnson J Station in my quest for downsizing while still being able to play/gig guitar and bass. My plans change all the time but if I get a small power amp and it sounds good with my Tech cab, then I could get rid of the guitar combo.

I prefer the non export Aero's. YMMV

Sold Japhet a combo. Smooth transaction, quick payment. Could probably have chatted for an hour or two more when he came to collect. Top bloke.

People have mentioned the DIY ethos, but the Pistols always signed to a major label and wore expensive clothes from Westwood and McLaren's shop. What was unprecedented (and still is) is that an un-signed band did a tour, created a 'scene' and and at each gig influenced people to go out and start their own bands, many of which had their own success.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1370105339' post='2096527'] Like I said, it's probably completely trashed and unplayable! [/quote] if it's not good enough for Lemmy, it's not good enough for me.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1369655064' post='2091228'] This is a muddle... none of the stuff seems to do what you want it to do... so you are fixing a fix. Sell it all and start again. Ampeg Portaflex.. PR amp and Portaflex cab..!! [/quote] +1 for the porta flex. Lightwight but still with that Ampeg tone.

... you had never been in a band with them?

Take a chord sequence, the one supplied earlier by Wayne will do. Then take some time to: Play it in a country and western syle. Play it funky. Play it late 80's shoe gazer indie... etc. Doesn't matter too much what you come up with, but being creative with other styles can help unblock your own creative juices as it were.

it's a funny one this. The initial answer is no, but there are plenty of people on Basschat - some I haven't actually met in person - who I would be happy to lend gear to.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1369510696' post='2090034'] and mentioned me as the current bass player [/quote] Bass player gets mentioned - that's the headline! MacWifey was asking when we're gonna see the band 'with your mate with the silver hair' again. Get thee south of the river soon!

Hanwell tonight

[url="http://www.snap-dragon-guitars.co.uk/standard-range-19-w.asp"]http://www.snap-drag...-range-19-w.asp[/url] Scroll down in the link for the bass. Ok, so it doesn't look all that, but if you believe the blurb a quality giggable bass you can put in your hand luggage? Has anyone heard of these or tried them?

An old mate of mine's clain to fame, was that Alf punched him. This was back in the day when she had a bit of weight to put behind a punch. She's still got a cracking voice.
