I've got a SMX and a series 6, I prefer the series 6 for gigs seems to have a little bit more umph, it's 'only' 200 watts but plenty loud enough, it's a fanless model, gets hot but has never cut out

just got a WL20 to replace my Line 6 G10, yes it does stick out rather alarmingly so did the G10 but they supply a right angled converter which meant the unit lay across the body just above the volume controls on my P bass, I'll be using that with my WL20 as well

I suppose it depends what genre, I've done 100's of open mics never been offered a gig with a band, maybe it's because I'm rubbish or everybody knows I'm in a band already. Jam sessions seem to be ok if you want to join a classic rock or blues band

various ways all involving the internet seems to be the way, they've all been mentioned, the old way of of adverts in the music press, music and record shops is long gone.

actually that's not a bad bass sound he's got there

after my earlier post about problems with my Line 6 G10 I used it last night, no issues at all, beginning to wonder if something was interfering with it

yes that's right, personnel preference I suppose I don't like having to have a transmitter attached to my belt or strap, which is why I went for the G10 in the first place, seems a lot less hassle just to plug it into the bass

after my line 6 G10 packed up at my last 2 gigs, I think it starts searching for a new channel mid gig!, I 've decided to get a bug type wireless unit, the Boss WL20 or the Xvives, any thoughts?

sounds just like what we use a Yam EMX512SC, we have a very loud drummer (the guy at the rehearsal rooms says we're the loudest band that uses them) and it's good enough for nice clear vocals

it was worse when Matthew Wright was doing it

Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower The Beatles - And Your Bird Can Sing The Ramones - We Want the Airwaves to name but three

I'm perfectly happy with my Zoom B1on, does warm slightly overdriven to fuzzy Motorhead, only £50 or there's the newer B1 four

well at least he hasn't got 100% feedback any more

Hey Jude, just the thought of that boring boring terminally long ending makes me turn off the Radio Horse with no name by America, the lyric "cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain" why on earth is "for" in there? apart from to annoy the hell out of me Penny Arcade by Roy Orbison, sounds like a 3rd rate Eurovision song entry from the 60's There are loads more of course, these 3 spring to mind

yeah, he looks like he's been under the knife as well, he just doesn't look right

personally I would be very wary of selling to someone with low feedback, the only time I've had any trouble when selling is with someone who had feedback of under 10

I've long been of the opinion that he's had hair transplants, along with Mick Jagger and some others, it is very unusual for anybody to have that much hair well into their 70's. If I was in the public eye with that much money it's exactly what I would do

when I saw him at Rebellion a couple of years ago he was advertised as Ritchie Ramone and did almost exclusively Ramones tracks maybe that was because he was playing Rebellion can't speak for any other gigs,, he did have a good 'Johnny Ramone' on guitar, It you are talking about Somebody put something in my drink, a minor hit, he was credited with writing it, on my vinyl version at least, according to Wikipedia it was the digital sales where the dispute was, not sure on the details but the court found, reluctantly in favour of the rest of the Ramones. But yes, he was the only Ramones drummer to sing and write songs for the band. I think CJ has his own Ramones band

yep, better to have a Rossi only Quo than no Quo at all (some may disagree) the Frantic Four tours were great though, it's special when all the originals get back together

that's the crux of it, but in the case of, say Dr Feelgood and the alternative Sham 69 to name a couple, not sure how many folk would know it's not got any original members, in which case they should be billed as a tribute. Haven't got a problem with tributes btw, some are better than the original band 🙂

I think Dr Feelgood haven't got any original members, and they weren't very good when I saw them. There's a version of Sham 69 without any original members but to confuse matters even further most of the original members are now touring as Sham 69 but they always have Pursey, Parsons, Tregunna on the posters. Bizarrely, there's 2 versions of the Glitter Band as well, or was, no idea how many were original members are in either band

and Ritchie Ramone as well, saw him a couple of years ago, they're basically a Ramones tribute act, it's surprising how many bands go round with only the drummer as the original member, I saw John Coghlan's Status Quo a couple of years ago as well and I think The Vibraters only have the drummer left

just watched Status Quo on the iplayer when I got back from the pub, thoroughly enjoyed it, which surprised me, only Rossi is in it from the original line up they even did a decent new song. I thought they should have packed it in when Parfitt died now I'm not so sure, as long as they're not devaluing the brand (and Quo have done a fair bit of that in their time) where's the harm?

your friends used to give you a hard time after you'd unbuttoned your shirt? you've obviously got a far better body than I
