1984....Westone Spectrum DX into a 50w Vox combo.... Now use a Stingray/Sandberg into an Orange Terror Bass head and SP210 cab.

He must have seen the $750,000 les paul vid doing the rounds on Farcebook at the min.....

While having a sort out of my cr@p box i found a couple of unused Elites flatwounds , 0.65 and 0.85. If someone covers the cost of postage, they're yours.

[quote name='dave.c' post='737486' date='Feb 6 2010, 06:30 PM']Good luck with the gig man! I've got my first gig with FREE AGAIN on the 13th, never been in a tribute band before and I'm reallly looking forward to it. Gig is being recorded so the pressure is on as I've only had one rehersal! Are you going to play 'Mr Big'? Dave[/quote] Good luck to you too.... yep we're playing Mr Big. Worked out a passable version of the bass solo as well!!!

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='737686' date='Feb 6 2010, 10:22 PM']Slagging the ad off it isn't going to deter anyone here who fancies a go and I'm sure the management company will simply dismiss the rest of us as bitter old 'hobbyists'. Thus, no-one loses out. So.... Well, it's probably not a joke. Just emblematic of the know-nothing f***-wittery of management companies (legitimate or otherwise) who cite a ludicrously wide spread of influences then lob up a requirement to perform Busted material - a band outstanding in a field of one and already long dead. A company characterised by standards inferior to those embodied by the mighty Noble etc might fail to mention the additional requirement for such desirable qualities as: * A charming unwillingness to ask 'difficult' questions like "Can I show the contract to a solicitor" and "Where's the Merch money going?" and "Why do I have to pay you?" * A willingness to put up with suggestions like "Here's the bass line the session guy played - learn it or you're fired " and "Don't stand there, the camera will see you, move or you're fired" and "Go get some liposuction or you're fired, you donut scoffing salad dodger" * An eager readiness to be pilloried by Noel Gallagher and Sting, blanked on a daily basis by your singer who you never met before you walked into the rehearsal room and asked questions like "How did you come up with the band name 'Haplessly Exploited'?" on BBC Radio Malvern's drive-home show with Colin Inchpractice and Wendy The Traffic Girl. But the latter 'stardom' only if the singer's too off his face to get out of his room at the Worcester Travelodge (for which [i]you're[/i] paying £20.00 per night accommodation deduction). * A touching desire to meet with and possibly fellate the silver-haired chairman of a sagging multinational record company to whom your managers recently emailed To which e-mail they will probably receive no reply. There's a lot to be said for being a bitter old hobbyist. We will hold the moral high ground through blood and fire. [size=1]BTW, if Noble management need a release writer or some lyrics, PM me. OK? Nothing ventured, etc. [/size][/quote] AMEN...Brother Skank has spoken

This is my first gig with the Free/Bad Copany/Paul Rodgers tribute HEARTBREAKER.... curious to know if anyone has played this venue and what it's like. Anyone in the area, feel free to come down and say hi!!! Cheers, Nige

I think he bought an old table and got a jig-saw for xmas.....

You'll need a 4 ohm head to run the cabs/amp at full power. Maybe the Hartke LH500?

Morning.

Definitely a Wal

Geddy Lee on the R30 and Rush in Rio dvds... now that's growl!!

Spray some switch cleaner on. If that doesn't solve it, sounds like a new switch is needed.

Looks like a recent "relic".

This...... is mine..........

[quote name='Le Chat Noir' post='726441' date='Jan 27 2010, 03:35 PM']Thanks for your quick response, good to hear from someone with first-hand experience I'm looking at the SP212 in particular, did you get to try them all out or did you buy online?[/quote] I tried the SP210 out in the shop with Terror bass head and was impressed enough to buy the pair. Haven't tried the SP212 yet.

Rehearsed and gigged the SP210 cab which i own, and to be honest it's phenomenal. The frequency range and volume i can get out of it is awesome.

Welcome... seems like i'm the official greeter this morning!!!

That Ritter looks a beaut... not sure about the finish though.
