I tried an MB200 with a notoriously ineficient cab. It ran out of puff very quickly indeed whereas the MB500 just carried on giving. Obviously the One10 is a different scenario but the 500 was LOADS better in headroom and delivery

I gigged an MB500 Fusion with an fdeck in front of it. It was fine and dandy.

Uke bass. Fine and dandy. End of.

Small room, loud band = hello tinnitus

[quote name='neilp' timestamp='1470704202' post='3107835'] I'm happy to do a bit on bowing in general,and specifically French bow, although I have played with a German bow and still have a couple somewhere [/quote] You are booked.

If anyone wants to have a beginners session on bowing then I would be happy to do German bowing. Anyone want to introduce French bowing?

There is no inner sanctum. If there were I would by default be in it cos I am one of the organisers. My wife finds the idea of me and organiser in the same sentence endlessly amusing. It will never be a huge event. The vibe is relaxed. It will be full of comments like "Gut strings? Can I try them? Crazy.", and 'So that is what my bass sounds like through a stack of 4 x PJB 4x5 cabs." Life is too short for anything else.There will be no extreme slapping (but possibly a bit of RnR action). Chris, we would love you to be there with us.

There will be loads of playing each other's basses. The preamp stuff will only happen when we have all played everything at least twice!

So, we are going to our own bespoke thread in the events section. Anyone else interested in this event? What should we organise as activities? Etc etc etc

And if it is cash then always count it in front of whoever pays you.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1469802790' post='3101195'] On a wild whim, I don't suppose there are any Basschatters in possession of an aluminium (or, quite possibly, aluminum) double bass? [/quote] That is my last remaining DB GAS. I would polish that thing to within an inch of it's life.

Is there anything that the BC Masif does not know? Thanks, I shall go and harrass them.

Thanks for these. I was hoping for ones which would accept either 215s or noise reduction filters depending on the circumstances.

Sorry in advance if this has been covered, but does anyone have a source for custom moulds which will take either SE215s or normal filters, depending on what is needed at the time? My son is a drummer and we all know what that can do to his ears. He has a pair of 215s but I want to get him a set of moulded plugs. If he could plop the 215s in as in-ears it would make sense for now. TIA.

It was a total deal breaker for my friend. Everything else was proper lush, but it was not playing in tune which kind of defeats the whole object of the excercise.

I really enjoyed Muzz's playing on that album
