I've got to add my lakland 55-01 which i purchased from a fellow basschatter last year & still use today. [attachment=24196:L5501b_1_.jpg]

Was just reading back thro' this thread & noticed Bassbod's Mr Tone Control, wow !! You don't see many of them at all, what a rarity !!. On my first look i thought it was a grand prix pre-amp.

I've finally got round to taking some pics of my swr gear. I've been using Swr amps & cabs now for nigh on 15 yrs, its all i've ever wanted & all i've ever needed enough said. My current Swr configuration [attachment=24193:redhead_2x10rig_1.jpg] My spare 2x10 cab in case i want to use a seperate head [attachment=24194:IMG_0134.JPG] My Stereo 800 poweramp [attachment=24195:IMG_0122.JPG] Watch out for pics of my other Swr gear .

Oh ! Blimey, i've been a bit busy lately so i've been offline for a while. Will have to post some pics up of my Swr gear on here soon

Hi everyone, Just have to say to anyone going to see Kings x tonite at the electric ballroom, london. That your going to be in for a fantastic evenings entertainment by a vastly underated band. Oh yes ladies & gentleman i went to see this band last nite in wolverhampton. To be honest it rates for me asone of the best gigs i've ever seen, a no frills straight ahead rock show, with great songs & 3 band members giving it their all & the audience giving it back. Some of the show was being filmed & i believe tonights show is also being filmed for a future dvd release. Doug or shall i say (dug) Pinnocks bass sound was huge, the amount of distortion he gets & still makes it sound musical has to heard to be believed, he also plays a 12 string bass for one song to. Not to mention his unbelieveably powerful voice. To anybody who's going i won't mention songs, but your in for a great gig experience. Oh ! plus the band stayed behind & were more than happy to sign autographs & have pics taken too. Enjoy !!!

I've got to agree with you there BTGAndy they don't look as classy without the chrome grills. I also wonder how long it'll take before we see these in the uk.

Hi All, Just checked out the Swr website to find that they've just announced their new Golight series of bass cabs. Check the link for more info.

I miss Phil too !! I had the pleasure of meeting him round the back of the Birmingham odeon during the renagade tour he thanked me for supporting the band & shook my hand. Then later on during the gig when i was standing down the front i threw my Thin lizzy scarf towards the stage, he picked it up, wore it for one song, then threw it back to me & gave me his famous grin & the clenched fist that he always did during live shows. What a character he was !!!

Had the great please of meeting "steady" freddie a few years back at the bass centre in birmingham at an Swr bass clinic, where he played that song all the thro' with no backing track & boy did he make the room groove. He has a great feel & rock solid timing, he makes it all look so easy doesn't he.

Not a cd but a dvd, My freshly ordered from the states Kings x - Gretchen goes to london, live at the astoria 1990 dvd arrived this morning & the best news yet - Kings x are touring europe & are in the uk in Jan 09. Guess what i'm requesting for xmas

Yeah !! Doug Wimbish, what an inspirational bass player he is, he's also played on Annie Lennox first solo album & the first couple of Seals too, if i remember correctly.

Listen to Doug Pinnock of Kings X bass distortion galore, especially on the Dogman album
