I didn't know leftysteve but i read some of his posts, so i'd like to pass on my best wishes to his family, friends & anyone that new / respected him.

[quote name='beerdragon' post='288838' date='Sep 21 2008, 10:44 PM']I managed to get to Nicks place last year, really nice bloke and a wonderful place. sorry to hear of his loss, if there is another bass event there next year count me in.[/quote] I had the pleasure of going last year too & a finer host & knowledgable chap you couldn't wish to meet. Deeply sorry to hear about your loss. Sending you my best wishes & so much looking forward to seeing soon at next years bass bash.

From what it seems to me, its either he's not to keen on the songs that you're performing or he isn't spending enough time on his own practising the songs. My reason for saying this is: Even listening to songs on the radio, sometimes songs you don't like you generally get a hook or melody that you remember & timing generally comes with familiarity from constantly listening to the song/s. The only other thing i can think of is that he maybe having problems at home which doesn't allow him to donate the time & attention to the songs he has to learn. It could be an arm around the shoulder time to see if he's having a problems at home before taking any action, if he's a close friend.

I'd be interested in going to see Tm stevens too, i've seen an instructional bass vid of his & its very entretaining to say the least. The guys way out there, but he can groove like a bad m*.^******* !!!!

Reminds me of back in the mid nineties when i was in a heavy metal band who were Racer X influenced & we used to play this song in our soundcheck & occasionally live

Just noticed this thread !!! I haven't laughed so much in ages, anyway here's about mine She's a lovely 75 reissue nice copper top, was her abandoned by her previous owner who didn't treat her very well, but over the 4 years i've had her she's maturing quite nicely, she's a bit lean up top but has a nice rounded shapely bottom which is a pleasure to play. Infact when i first had her i used to play her for hours on end & she responds better the longer she's played. Every now & again the bottom pickup gets a bit moist after lots of use, but after a short rest & a wipe down, then she's happy to carry on where we left off. She's definately a keeper

Oh ! wow. I bet that rig sounds positively huge with that Swr head & the warwick basses. I've always wanted a Streamer stage II, i'm loving that. I like that rig very much.

[quote name='Machines' post='240747' date='Jul 16 2008, 10:54 AM']Yeah but which is better ? .[/quote] Mmm Swr amp or nissan micra true

Mmm lovin' the overwater J5 & the MM Jazz

[quote name='Machines' post='239779' date='Jul 15 2008, 08:50 AM']Just looked at an old email - they charge £75 for a service (plus any major parts).[/quote] Thats the same deal i have to get my car serviced

[quote name='TimmyC' post='235718' date='Jul 9 2008, 02:12 PM']I'd sey Eden's are quite warm sounding compared to SWR and the likes[/quote] I'd say i have to agree on that well compared to Swr anyway

Sounds like it could be the pickup height that might need adjusting.

I thought this thread was here so we could discuss these points

What i was trying to say was, for me not at the expense of the sound that i've spent £'s, years & hours trying to achieve.

I must confess this is a topic i've thought of raising myself especially when people have changed their setups. Then within a short space of time, they put another post up saying they can't seem to find a sound that they're after or what they previously had. (disclaimer: this isn't aimed at any individual by the way ). I've had my amp & cab setup now for nigh on 10 years now the only thing i've really changed is that i've taken out a 1 x 15 cab to replacing it with a 2x10 for tonal reasons, rather than weight. I know my sound inside out & i wouldn't compromise any of that just to save a few xtra pounds / kilos in weight, not mention the xtra £'s spent to get something lighter to find that you have to start the same process of trying to get near the sound you had with the heavier gear. I can fully understand the weight for health reasons, but for some convienience reasons i'm not so sure. There's always 2 sides to an arguement but thats my 2 pence worth. Ps: Then on the other hand i may be lucky cos when i brought my Swr's at the time, i guess they were considered lightweight & compact, but now weighing at 55lbs each they're considered heavy !!!

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='223312' date='Jun 20 2008, 09:44 PM']nice SWR tower – do you prefer the 3 2x10 cabs instead of a single 6x10? i suppose your rig is better to chop and change for the circumstances though? small rig for small gigs and add more cabs for larger gigs etc…[/quote] Well as you mentioned it gives me the flexibilty of choosing the amount of cabs i need for certain situations ie: 1, 2 or 3 cabs as necesary & also due to having a small car i wouldn't be able to fit a 6x10 in my car. It does sound very clear & clean with plenty of definition
