  1. Yes, you're doing the right thing. Best of luck with it. That's exactly what I'm planning on doing when I'm back from New Zealand and get the next project going.

    New cab day

    Good times. Enjoy them. Pics as a whole rig?
  3. [quote name='D-L-B' timestamp='1382359385' post='2251085'] I once was chasing a similar sound in my head to what you describe here. I even described it as a bit of a mad cow like sound. [/quote] Listening now. Awesome.
  4. [quote name='horrorshowbass' timestamp='1381424870'] tink in gonna go down the combo route [/quote] Does the combo have an extension cab option?
  5. I use an MB500. Great piece of gear imo. Light, powerful, growly, strong eq, footswitchable drive channel. I've used it into a small cab (orange sp210) without pa support and it worked fine in a small venue in a 3 piece rock band. Usually with pa support and its always done its job.
  6. No idea but good luck with it. Sure someone will come along with a useful suggestion soon. Please can we hear it when its done?
  7. loving this. can't wait to see it finished.
  8. always nice to be well thought of. Must be doing something right.
  9. nope, I just count bars/riffs/repetitions for structure purposes.
  10. Be nice to other bands, promoters and sound techs. People who like you are more likely to work with you again and will try harder for you when they do. Make sure the promoter knows what you're doing to promote the gig yourselves. I've gotten extra bookings based on the promo before the actual gig.
  11. If you can afford it and you want it, why would a partner be angry? If you're spending money that should go on food, rent/mortgage or other essentials on music gear then take a good look in the mirror!
  12. Schecter C4 (Diamond Series) with Hipshot xtender. Its been my main bass for 7 years through 4 bands. Haven't played anything that I'd swap it for. A neck I love, 2 humbuckers with pickup blend, 2 band eq, great looks (IMO) Edit- just googled them, can't believe how cheap they are now.
  13. For that kind of budget I'd be looking at a powerful rig to give you flexibility in case you get offered big gigs or one without PA support? What kind of sound are you going for?
  14. Good performance by us to a small but appreciative audience at Firebug in Leicester last night. Excellent stage sound from the tech. Nice people in the other bands. Second to last gig before I go to New Zealand for a year so mixed emotions. Really going to miss this band.
  15. [quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1378028122' post='2194747'] Our guitarist stepped in to do a solo set at the beginning, we did our set and the other remaining band fulfilled the rest of the night. Audience were happy and we got paid.[/quote] Excellent, glad the show went on.
  16. Very frustrating. Best of luck with the show.
  17. Why not post examples of typical sounds as used in songs? As has been said many times before its very hard to describe sounds
  18. The Ashdown head and Laney cab will probably do what you're after for little money. Small venues should be ok, larger ones and you're looking at PA support I'd say.
  19. Glad to hear you like it. I'm a huge fan of anything small that does the job of bigger gear. Love my mb500
  20. I've had two pw circuit breaker cables since before I joined bc (few years ago now) gigged and rehearsed since then, no problems at all. I just use them as handy mute switches.
  21. Great to hear its going well for you Bilbo. Any chance of any live recordings?
