    Got tickets for Toto at the venue in the title. Anyone been there? Can't even tell if this is seated, seems to be no info on the venue at all. Anyone ever been there?

    Be nice if the government had a look at Amazon, PayPal and Starbucks before jumping on window cleaners and pub bands. It's happening here too. 70% of our gigs are now paid by cheque. We take it in turns to bank it although, I actually declare my earnings. Better than looking over your shoulder.

    [quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1499194088' post='3329896'] I think the Flea and Geddy Lee basses are amazing instruments, regardless how you feel about the artists themselves. [/quote] I get that totally. They're both accomplished and worthy hero's to a lot of people and, the basses are financially within reach to the majority of players. Even the Adam Clayton bass I get due to the popularity of the band but most players under 40 probably wouldn't know who Robbie Robertson is.

    Never really had a problem with the concept. There's always been guitar and bass heroes but today, I saw the ad for the Robbie Robertson signature Strat. It's £12,000!! It's not as if he's actually a great guitarist or some sort of ground breaking virtuoso. A couple of great songs and the Last Waltz. That's it isn't it? Or have I missed something? Fender must be desperate to simply get a name, any name on a headstock. Wonder how many they'll sell. Rant over, just going to get an hour's practice in on my Angela Merkel jazz 5😎

    Not good. French wedding reception at a huge rented chateau. Fell foul of the Nazi catering company. Made us set up in different area and later than planned, actually stopped us playing twice during our first set due to their inefficient service, and we ended up in an open sided garden marquee as opposed to under a covered terrace. (They did actually get a rollicking from the bride and groom for spoiling the flow of the whole evening) We played, and went down well but the gig wasn't what I'd call good.

    Good vocals, good guitarist, sounds like a bit of Queen is in order. Old stuff again, but crowd pleasers and certainly challenging depending on what you pick.

    Surely you take spare basses so as your wife is not left at home looking at all the basses that you said you needed.

    Maybe he's doing it for a wrist injury charity fundraiser.

    When I've said I can smell burning, our guitarist would always say it's probably his fingerboard. One day, I'll surprise him with a bucket of water😂

    Cheap doesn't necessarily mean bad these days. Far from it. The last 15 gigs have all been on an £80 bass, by choice, not necessity. Times are hard for sure for a lot of people, but you can still enjoy playing. It's all about the attitude, not the price of the gear.

    Long life and happiness to you both.

    First and last bump before I stick one or both up for sale.

    [quote name='stef030' timestamp='1497901570' post='3321237'] Very interested in the five stringer Are you coming tube the UK I live 45 minutes away from the shuttle [/quote] At the moment, still hoping for a trade for something with spacing around the 16.5 - 17mm. Ideally a Ray 5 or US Sub 5 or whatever is out there. Will probably be over in a couple of weeks time so will bear any interest in mind. Thanks for the interest

    [quote name='pmjos' timestamp='1497692565' post='3320048'] Have a bump for my old sixer which I owned from new and sold to Leschirons of this parish some time ago. [/quote] And very faithful it has been too. Just struggling with the spacing due to arthritis these days.

    [quote name='dr.harry' timestamp='1497462798' post='3318434'] I have the 5-string sister to your 6-string Easily the easiest and most consistent bass I have ever played Have you posted on statii.com? Status make lots of basses with 17/16.5mm string spacing, so your luck might be in GLWTS H [/quote] Sort of hooked on the feel of a Ray at the moment. But thanks. I am a Statii member so may put them on if I can't find a suitable trade.

    [quote name='BassApprentice' timestamp='1497437519' post='3318089'] Maybe hit up this man right here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/307248-fs-eb-music-man-stingray-5/"]http://basschat.co.u...man-stingray-5/[/url] [/quote] Saw Mikkel's ad. He's after a 4 string trade. Nice Ray though, apart from natural, best colour for me. Thanks though.

    Ideally, I'm looking for a trade. These two, for a Stingray 5 ( I appreciate I may have to add a little in the way of cash) Both basses play and sound in typical Status fashion. Ultra low action if required, no need to re-tune every 10 mins, great for slap if that's your thing and everything works as should except.....on the 5 string, it would appear that the pan pot has been rewired incorrectly so turn it back, and you're on the neck pick up and vice-versa. Couple of very slight marks on the back of the 5 string neck but don't show up on camera and no effect on play-ability. There is one Status gig bag for whichever bass and a generic hard case for the other. Both restrung in the last 4 weeks. Reason for trading, I need tighter string spacing around 17mm. By all means offer anything that you thinks fits the bill but, I don't like Ibanez basses, want a 34" or 33" scale and I can't stand sunburst. Even a USA SUB 5 would suit but obviously not for both of mine. Don't mind P/X ing one and adding a little suppliment though. I'm in France but no problem driving over / sending etc. Thanks [size=6]Now for sale. [s]5 string 450.00 [/s] (5 string on hold) [s]6 string 450.00[/s] Now on hold for time being (and if anyone's still got a U.S. SUB 5 for sale, let me know)[/size]

    Absolutely brilliant. Small private birthday party (about 50 guests) in a huge open sided dirt floor cow shed complete with animal urine channel immediately behind us😂 we played on the concrete milking platform. Much to the displeasure of our hygiene OCD guitarist. However, despite the singer losing her voice near the end of the first set, it was the best mix ever. She got through the second set by knocking out the screamy stuff from the last set and we went down a storm.

    Taylor 110 secondhand. Bottom of the range but still play and sound beautiful.
  21. leschirons
    I tend not to get keys confused. However, put My girl and Stand by me on the same set list, and I will get the two mixed up. First, I get the "look" then, it's the hilarious vocalist scramble for the other words. I've done this maybe 30 times😂

    Just bought a drum kit from Mike. Great deal. Great comms. Very nice and helpful BC'er. Great to deal with.
  23. leschirons
    Blimey, it's a lot bigger than the 6.0. Still lightweight?
  24. leschirons
    Thanks for the tip. I need a backup head and would have definitely bought a second Shuttle 6.0 had it been all FET but I can't get over the love I had for my Shuttle 3.0. On the 9.0, would the FET preamp still work if the valve channel went down?
  25. leschirons
    Anyone know if Genz make a 600w head without a tube preamp like the Shuttle 3.0? Thanks
