lousy pic, but evidence nevertheless

First outing for my new rock covers band 'Wayward Sons' last night. Also first outing for my new rig - Trace Elliot head RAH300-12 SMX into 2 x BF Supercompacts. Bass was my Squier Katana, which is the first time I have gigged with that. Band played well, considering we were under-rehearsed. A bit too loud, I think. We went down extremely well to a lively and friendly crowd of largely invited F&F - a kind of 'let's test the water with people we know' type of gig. I totally enjoyed myself. Excited about the future with this band. Rig was phenomenal. Best sound I have ever had, period. Real authority and presence, like when I used to have my much loved and missed old Trace Elliot rig, but with greater clarity and punch from the Supercompacts. A bass player who was watching right at the back of the room said as soon as I started playing it hit him straight in the gut, which is good! Katana bass was fantastic, a marvelous woody precision tone that could be dull and thuddy or sharp and edgy and maybe a touch more bite than some of my other Ps. In the context of the band it was the perfect sound I was looking for. Looked the mutts, too. Pics didn't come out, sadly. Happy last night. Happy this morning. Edit, I suppose this one isn't too bad. [attachment=201073:newrig100915.jpg]

Thanks! Gig went very well. Pictures I took didn't come out.

Ta! Right, off to get made up....

I am allowing myself to get excited about this one - first outing for my new rock covers band 'Wayward Sons'. The Ship, New Road, Leigh-on-Sea. 9ish. Free entry. Also first outing for double BF Supercompacts. Might be loud. Should be fun. If you are local come along and heckle.

Korean Jazz bass. Probably quite nice but this guy is getting a bit muddled, I think.

Those rigs look the Mutts. How much am I looking forward to tomorrow!

I might take one when set up Saturday. Just, you know, for posterity.

Just got this out of the box to add to one I bought a few months back. My new rock band has its first gig on Saturday so I should be able to give it some welly. I'm very much enjoying my recently acquired Trace Elliot head so through 2 x Supercompacts it should make an impression

I was daft enough to answer two 'wanted ads' by the same chap over a period of several months for two different things, didn't get a reply to either. I put it down to bad manners but it seems maybe not.

I have this if it is of any use. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/260772-warwick-rock-bag-2u-rack-bag-thingy-scruffy-but-functional/page__p__2777497__hl__warwick__fromsearch__1#entry2777497"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2777497[/url] I think it will fit a 410 deep amp.
