  1. Happy Jack's attempt at claiming Newcastle heritage comes to the fore, as he plays bass in the snow, wearing a tee shirt ๐Ÿ˜œ
  2. maybe a question for another thread, but... would it be a breach of employment law/equal opportunities (etc) if in UK job adverts for musicians, it was requested that applicants also have an EU (country) passport?
  3. According to the online covid vaccine calculator I'm not in any vulnerable group, and am due my second dose in December (at the latest). So even if gigs are vaccine certificate only, it will still be next year before I can go. All speculation though, who knows what's gonna happen? ๐Ÿ™‚
  4. @NancyJohnson I expect a NBD thread for the Hamer! ๐Ÿ˜
  5. Back in the day there was a band called The Applejacks. My Dad happened to be out with them having a drink or two, when fans started asking for autographs, but they were also asking my Dad. He looked at the vocalist in a 'what shall I do?' kind of way, and the vocalist just laughed and said 'sign them!'. So there must have been Applejack fans at home later that night, looking at their autographs wondering 'who the hell is that?'.
  6. it used to be tradition to present Jon with a packet of Hobnobs upon collection of bass.
  7. Big Digitech fan here, I have the BP355. The RP1 is for guitarists, but spend some time with it and you be able to find some useable sounds. A quick Google suggests the analogue effects were rated at the time.
  8. Hah, I'm 2 Shuker's in and one on the way. All custom builds but I let Jon build them๐Ÿ˜† The courses seem to be rated highly by all who do them, there have been several threads on here, always fun to follow.
  9. and here's the man himself taking you through it
  10. Unfair thread! ๐Ÿคฃ I want every bass I've ever owned, I tend only to get rid due to lack of finances or space. I can 'see' at least 2 more custom Shuker's that I want (not including my current build) and I want every bass I've seen on Basschat where I've thought 'that looks nice...'.
  11. To be fair if these chaps were in their civvies, it would be understandable if they were not recognised.
  12. These are investments, so a return is going to be wanted. Licensing would seem to be the big earner (there are no royalties for radio play in USA), but there is a limited number of studios who can afford to pay the big money. So will every advert soon have a recognisable song?
  13. good job too, otherwise 'working' from home, may have proved slightly optimistic!
  14. Apologies. I was under the incorrect impression the VIP 3 was the only multi instrument amp. Having listened to your recording, not sure what to advise, as even when I put the bass through guitar amps, I don't get anything similar ๐Ÿ˜•
  15. More info needed please ๐Ÿ™‚ I've been watching reviews on the YouTube and still fancy one.
  16. This. I have the Peavey Vypyr VIP 3, which is designed for guitar and bass, and is surprisingly loud enough to gig with a bass.
  17. Profile pic changed, in line with Basschat Secret Santa tradition :)ย

      Doh! Next Christmas seems so far away...

  18. I've got the Digitech BP355, it has has some great modelled bass amps, and cabs, but the Ampeg models sound best IMO.
