Liverpool Noob... live venues, where not to eat, etc?
Owen replied to NickD's topic in General Discussion
Make sure you have the Chat Bombs at Mowgli -
Modern Drummer - 1989 "A good drummer that I like who plays simply is Phil Gould, who used to be with Level 42. He plays very simple, R&B-influenced drumming, but when he pulls a fill out it'll be a beautiful fill. And his feel is great. If you try to tap along with their downbeat-on-the-3 type of songs, you'll just about break your hand trying to come down behind the beat as much as he does. He has that feel down so well. It's very satisfying for me to listen to from a drummer's point of view or from a music fan's point of view. It feels great, has tremendous authority, and has the spice of a great little fill leaping out of it."

Bass guitar = moderately painful. Double Bass = a whole world of pain. My wife is a harpist. She used to do the meths/white spirit things. I never saw it do anything.

Phil Gould has a lovely groove to everything he does.

Super glue. A few drops of liquid ona piece of paper. Run the affected area on it. Let it dry. Enjoy the gig.

Should you match bass amps to cabs by the same manufacturer ?
Owen replied to Roger Eve's topic in General Discussion
Ah well. They are lovely, lovely cabs -

Owen replied to Roger Eve's topic in General Discussion
We are all shallow enough to understand this. If I was buying a cab now I would be all over the Greenboy cab in the classifieds. Drive with any amp you fancy. -

First upright gig - advice on feedback and tone..
Owen replied to Drax's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Absolute. Comedy. Gold. -
Service is worship.

Sometimes I feel that way. But not always

It is still alive and kicking at work (FE College). Or i bought one for there a well. Sadly, a lot of my guitarist students cannot grasp the concept of a 5 string so I frequently find it tuned EEADG!

I picked up an MTD Kingston on a whim on here a LONG time ago. I paid £180 for it. They hardly ever appear, they are very light, the neck is proper yummy and the control cavity is big enough to put whatever you want in there.

I owned one of those for a bit. It was bonkers, in a good way. I only sent it back because yet again I proved that anything which gives me more than binary options makes my head hurt. I wish it was not so, but there it is. This is quite the machine.

I hate compressors. I own 3 Spectracomps to use in different places. You changes presets using the zap from your phone speakers through your pickps thang. It is so ridiculously easy.

Owen replied to Drax's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Its a Jazz gig, you are playing a DB, you will look fabulous AND you get to play no more than 50% of the notes a bass guitarist would play AND you will sound better. There is nothing not to love. -

Owen replied to Drax's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Bass to cab placement is IMPERATIVE to controling Low Fequency wobblyness. If you are smack in front of the cab, the DB will just suck up all the extra LF and get wobbly. Standing to the side of it will clean things up in that particular circle. -
Has anyone bought a bass on a whim just cos of its looks?
Owen replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
Yes! I would be all over one of those like a bad rash.
