Maybe ones with fish on?!

Ub40 don't even have Ali Campbell any more do they? Peter greens Fleetwood Mac, Status quo without the two main people are still going aren't they I'm sure you'll be fine!

Give them both a whirl I'd say, see what works best.

What does it matter what other people think? If you enjoy something then you should get on with enjoying it and there are many other people who enjoy U2. Personally I think they are poop and to compare him to Cliff Williams just because they both play 8th notes is miles off the mark, AC couldn't rock out with the mighty Deece in a million years! (Imo of course ;-) )

I like to embrace some of these nuances that the elec bass does not have, some of the greats get a finger click when playing the E string as their fingers come off the edge of the board, Ray Brown makes some horrific clanks and clicks, rattles etc, sounds fabulous!!!

Nothing less than a full Kanye will do.

The landlord's eleccy bill goes through the roof, but if they don't want to pay for a proper show then we'll just take it elsewhere. Got standards to maintain.

This photo isn't Glastonbury as you might think,it was actually taken on his critically acclaimed 'Kanye smashes the tickled trout world tour 2011', he's actually saying "where the f*** are my six DB monitors!?".

But how would I get "my sound" that my £300 combo makes out of a £20'000 pa?!

Oh no please do not let this thread nose dive after this many pages guys!

How long are you lot going to whittle on about this?

It's funny how Mr jtuk has told us for ages how bad everyone is that plays local to him and how they haven't got his skill set in their locker, I didn't know he meant in his overhead locker!

It's hard to get a band off the ground these days and you guys are taking the Michael?

Aim for the stars JT!

I'm not trying to be a fokker but this needs bringing back down to earth guys please.

So why are you hangering around then?

I was wondering what Delta airways swamp blues was anyway.

First rule of pay pal and eBay, dear member or similar goes in the spam!

I'm surprised he got that gig after ringing the ground crew regarding the pa and giving them some altitude.

I think JT was just winging it at this one?

That's plane daft surely?

Never heard of him.

I know they are not for an eub, my point was that you said you tried some strings on an eub and they were light, I have the same strings, same tension, same scale length on an eub and a db and the eub feels much much lighter and easier to play so the eub you tried doesn't help much imo.

We are going around in circles now. I wonder how the ticket sails went?

Try more basses before you decide. I dont think eub's have much similarity in the way they feel to a double bass.

I have the exact same strings on my EUB as my DB and for some reason the EUB is much lighter to play, feels like an electric bass compared to my DB so I agree 100%

Didn't Thom Yorke from radio head wear a dress sometimes or was it the guy from Smashing pumpkins?

If its going to be through a pa you could use a Roland kick and brain but with a full kit around it? I know a busy dep drummer near me that does it and it saves a lot of room in your typical Irish bar sort of gig.
