Nothing too unusual or expensive gear wise. I'd quite like a bass VI, a light, powerful combo (maybe a Markbass 2x10) and a single thing on the floor for tuning, drive & DI (maybe a Steve Harris sansamp) The main thing for me would be more spare time after stopping paid work so I think I'd take some lessons in home recording and get a simple setup.

Paris Paloma at Rescue Rooms in Nottingham last night. Great show, brilliant drums varying from absolutely thunderous to very delicate. Some very tasteful bass playing too, I couldn't see well but I think it was an SG style instrument.

Full respect to Dolly. I hope the workshop survived alright?

Sad news. Condolences to his friends and family.

Welcome. I'm also in Notts. Best of luck finding what you're looking for.

No idea but sounds like an interesting project

Really interested to hear more

Found myself at a rehearsal room last night that didn't have backline. Dug out my battered BDI21 from the bottom of my bag, plugged DI into the PA. Worked a charm, sounded good to my ears.

I've sometimes thought about a cheap, headless, stick bass to have as backup. Small and light package to load and store on stage. Something like this Has anyone taken that approach?

Sorry to hear you didn't get the spot. All the best for whatever is your next gig.

Nice one. Enjoy learning the songs and playing!

I saw the Staves and CMAT yesterday at Moseley Folk Festival. Great performances and lovely bass playing from both bands.

Interesting. I'll be following this discussion.
