Got rid of the 2 Eden rigs (a 500w head + 4x10 and a 300w 2x12 combo) and the Mark bass 103 combo due to weight and size. Now use a Genz 6.0 combo + 12T ext. HEAVEN!!

When you admit you'd been thinking about it for a while, it means it's really a done deal and there's no going back. It can get postponed but usually ends with the same result. I think you've done the right thing. Best for you and best for your old bands. It's not as if you don't have anything to do now so just enjoy the remaining band.

I usually find it depends on wherever, whatever twat of a keyboard player we've got sets up. It usually works out like this (can't do a pie chart) 30% of stage = keyboards, various monitors / stands 25% of stage = guitar rig, 2 spare guitars and associated floor spaghetti 25% of stage = drum kit with at least 2 unnecessary drums and 2 extra completely crap cymbals for "the look" 15% of stage = vocalists mic stand and array of water bottles, song sheets on floor, throat sweets and sprays 5% of stage bassplayer, with headstock stuck up in air

Brilliant. Not one cut-away acoustic in sight and some guitars supplied with "waterproof cover" Classic stuff.

The first actual protest singer. A great talent.

Loved it.

Yes, there are some really beautiful songs out there. I wish I'd written this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGdI7CXZUXc

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1390266586' post='2343486'] You know that doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result the second time is a sign of insanity? [/quote] It would appear so as the two mistakes were an outlay of £2,600 Still, a worthwhile lesson. Just because it has one "the" names, doesn't mean etc etc...

Great band live. Saw them at Wembly. A huge gig with Fleetwood Mac, JethroTull and River City people. Hall & Oates and Tull left the rest of them for dead.

Yep, done that a few times however, I'm more stupid than most since I actually bought the same model a 2nd time thinking it would be great (it wasn't)

Why not just get one of these? but if you have to change basses, put all the Jazz numbers together and the Precision numbers together. I change basses rarely and only if it's an absolute must. I don't really think it helps the flow of the performance and can look a little unpolished.

I know the body woods are the "making a statement" bit but apart from that, I like the bass in general. Nice shape.

And one of the true masters of the Harp guitar. A really sad loss to music. I think he had so much more to offer. The guy was a genius.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1389678261' post='2336810'] I really am not sure what's going on, but I'm scared. I've started listening to Jazz recently, and I have been enjoying it. I blame my boss. He's a jazz musician. I know what's going on! The Jazz agenda is being promoted from those within the circle to incite new recruits! On a serious note - how far into the vast genre of Jazz does Air lie? Probably pretty tame, right? Well, I've been listening to Air a lot recently. They have some seriously good songs, and are clearly very talented musicians - an aspect of Jazz which nobody could deny. Are they a "gateway" [s]drug[/s] band?

I don't solo so never really need a 6 string despite almost always having had one (that gets played) however, a 5 is indispensible to me. Use one all the time. I do own a 4 string but there is no sound in the world better than a low D played on a B string. It fills the stage. Play all my low E's on the B string too, also any F / F#

They're a Christian rock band. They were on Songs of praise yesterday. Programme was all about Lindisfarne. Very etherial sound. Great song too. PS. I would like to make it clear to readers that this programme was only on as neither of us could find the remote

Well, The OP doesn't sponge off Mum & Dad, is passionate about music, seems to have earned more than the year before for each of the last 3 years and is only 24. Go for it mate. I didn't, but I don't regret it. Started playing live at 15 / 16. Had my own business since age 26. That paid the bills but also allowed me to use playing as a release from the work pressure and indulge my gear fetishes. Had a few good and big gigs in the early years and that was enough to look back on and nostalge. That has suited me but everyone is different. If it's your ambition, and you seem to be realising it, do it. Lots of people will offer advice, some good, some bad, but the bottom line is that it's only you that will regret not going for it. Best of luck with whatever you decide for the future.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1389476183' post='2334665'] Bass direct have one, maybe a bit overpriced though ? [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Yamaha_John_Myung_6.html"]http://www.bassdirec...hn_Myung_6.html[/url] [/quote] List price £1950? I thought someone on here said they weren't expensive new. They tend to pop up here for about 600€ for the two pickup 6JM. I think the French must have pounced on them all when they first came out as there seem to be about 15 for sale on various sites at the moment. Getting a go of one next week. It's not for sale but I must admit I'm intrigued to have a go.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1389377724' post='2333641'] If you are remotely interested, they have got a couple of John Myung's actual Yamaha basses for sale at Basscentral in Florida. [/quote] Yes, I saw those a little while ago. I think there's just a fretless left. The two fretted have sold. For the money, not really that expensive if you were a real Myung fan and fancied something a bit special.
