I'm having a chat with him too...

Say hello to my pal Peter Donegan. He's on the bill too.

Lots of Bass Direct chat [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=core&module=search&section=search&do=search&fromsearch=1"]here[/url]. Edit: Link's not working - just go up to search and search topic titles for 'bass direct'.

Why not Facebook?

[quote name='lee4' timestamp='1398889397' post='2438783'] IMO the flats are way better. The tone is more "rounded",and the little lick that you threw in sings out better. [/quote] Yip - I love flats. They don't just do 'thump'.

Here's a recording I did last night using a little Lexicon interface thingy... https://soundcloud.com/wateroftyne/sets/1971-fender-precision

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1398853226' post='2438197'] I think the internet breeds certain time wasters who dream of being in a band but can't actually play/organise/do anything as they don't put the effort in. Good old wanted posters used to cause less fuss. [/quote] Don't trust the Internet.... Get out there and talk to people. Get to know them. Get to know their peers. That's the best way to connect with like-minded people.

Gareth - there is an element of truth to your theory: City centres are transient places. Most of the good stuff goes on in the suburbs and satellite towns where musical relationships develop over years. Newcastle is a big town, and it has a lot going on around the fringes. You just haven't found it.

Cheers, Kenny!

Phew... I thought you were going to post a picture of Mrs. WoT.

It's been done - general concensus is even if it was available in the UK, it's still not very good :-)

Hi everyone My old band had a get-together for old times' sake last night 'cos the singer is moving to foreign climes. We haven't played for a few years, but apart from a couple of blips, it was pretty much like riding a bike.... lots of fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k4m8OLhL8k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUOH8tSLa20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm9p3pPqq7s

Here's a clip from my gig last night where I used the H115, on loan from its soon-to-be owner. I LOVE this cab. So fat and authoritative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUOH8tSLa20

Yep - lop the last digit off the SEK price, and that's your approximate GBP price.

Lovely! You're in for a treat. I'm hopefully about to place an order for an S212. Then I'll have a single S112 for most of my gigs, and an S212 for the bigger stuff :-)

I use [url="http://www.stablehost.com"]Stablehost[/url], but you're going to get a million different recommendations, all of which are perfectly valid.

Yeah - FWIW, I managed to record two 45-minute sets at 720 / 30fps with a decent set of rechargeables. It would probably have kept on going for a while, too.

Hmmm... if you're using video, make sure it's set to 30fps. If it's set to 60, it'll shut down after 10 minutes, IIRC. As you seem to be using audio only, I'm stumped.

I don't know what you're talking about. *cough*

[i]Gumtree[/i] should be capitalised. [i]Sell-out[/i] should be hyphenated. The second paragraph should be split into two sentences. I gave up nitpicking after that. Poor effort.

A great talent and sadly missed. Little Feat backed him, too.

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1397887088' post='2428185'] Sandberg did it first [/quote] There's a certain irony in that when you take the bigger picture into account. I agree that it's too limited to get really excited about, even if they did ship to the UK. Sandberg's is far better.
