Newfoundfreedom

Not so much a single song, or even what I'd consider music. But I utterly loathed all the rave / acid house, pill popping garbage. I've heard more musical roadworks.

I don't know if I'd call it an unsung hero. I've certainly sung it's praises many times on here, but the Bugera Veyron is an absolute monster of an amp with a superb tone range and more power than you're ever likely to need. I've been using mine for over 3 years now and it's been nothing but excellent. If I needed to replace it the only thing I'd buy is another one the same. My biggest surprise was a couple of years ago I took a punt on those Whatfdale cabs Andertons were knocking out for next to nothing. There were absolutely brilliant and well above my expectations. I sold them on only because they were too heavy for me to lug around to gigs. The new owner was also well pleased with them and I got back pretty much what I paid for them new. Can't complain at that.

Ooh! Now you're talking!

I'll settle for a Bourbon.

Well this thread just took a rather weird turn. I like Custard Creams. 😁

I'm just associated with the horrible noise coming out of the bass speakers.

I had the same problem. I had to be honest with myself and admit that I either needed to lose the weight or stop playing bass. I now play the triangle.

I bet they both turn up on the same day.

Some proper party animals on here. I've had to cut back quite a lot on my bass playing. It was interfering too much with my ability to drink.

I thought the same. The Harley Benton RB 414 would make a good enough modding platform without a special body build and would be much cheaper.

I believe the main trick to Steve Harris style playing is to use a very light touch. Don't be tempted to dig in, your fingers will fatigue extremely quickly at that galloping pace. Try playing by barely feathering the strings until you've cracked the correct pace and rhythm.

Remember this guy? He plays bass now.

That looks superb!!!

I like that a lot! Beautiful looking thing.

Unfortunately I think you might find it financially unviable unless you can borrow something and make do. ☹️

How will everyone else be powering their equipment? If it's an organised event surely there will be some sort of generator or power supply? Decent deep cycle batteries aren't cheap. It seems like a lot of outlay for one event.

I can't comment on the Sire, but I had a Junior Jet. It was extremely well finished and sounded absolutely monstrous. Superb for the price point.

Very nice!

I'm sure it's very clever from a playing perspective. But from a musical perspective, it's just noise.

I was just going to say, Rock City used to be pretty darned good. I haven't been there in years but hopefully it's still going and attracting some great acts.

I think the one of the biggest contributing factors to leaving my previous band was having to play Rockin' in the Free World.
