[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1460485308' post='3026170'] A typical pub classic rock band, though they're about 30 years younger than most that you see around here . Why has the bassist removed his shirt ? [/quote] You're going to the wrong pubs fella -

Advice on changing from Markbass to TC Electronic...
karlfer replied to lastanthem88's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1460453753' post='3025773'] The One10's are 8ohm aren't they? I understand what you're saying though - I wrote off the Two10's because of the 4/12ohm thing, I'm sure the logic makes sense but when you want two 8ohm cabs that's what you've got to have. [/quote] [quote name='DBerriff' timestamp='1460453915' post='3025777'] The One 10s are 8 Ohm cabs; it is the Two 10 that comes in the 4 or 12 Ohm options. [/quote] [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1460455104' post='3025792'] don't be too put off by the 12 ohm thing on the 210... there will be a difference in output but it's likely a lot less pronounced than you think (especially when you have a reasonably powerful amp) [/quote] Correct. I'm old, I'm allowed brain fart mode. Moving swiftly on -

Advice on changing from Markbass to TC Electronic...
karlfer replied to lastanthem88's topic in Amps and Cabs
I think I would have bought 2 of the BF 1 X 10'S quite a while back, but it's the 4 0hm, 12 ohm choice that stopped me. Alex explained why, but it was way over my old dinosaur ain't gonna change head Must admit, this thread has got me thinking again. Can two biscuit tin sized 10's really handle Metallica/Maiden covers against 2 Blackstar'd gaytartists and a shed building drummer (who is usually part mic'd). Anybody within about 50 miles of Manchester use two, so I can go see them gig? -
Is the market for older instruments in decline?
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1460451234' post='3025745'] In answer to the OP, I'd say not. Andy Baxter deals pretty much exclusively in vintage instruments and you only have to look at what has sold and the new arrivals on his website to see the market is buoyant. He's at the retail price end of things and charges top dollar. You can see the added value from the point of view of the buyer though - there are a lot of instruments in one location, you know they are going to be original and genuine, described accurately and truthfully and will be properly set-up and ready to go. Talking of readies, if I had any I'd set up camp in his showroom and never come out... [url="http://andybaxterbass.com/guitars.php?pc=1&cat=1"]http://andybaxterbas....php?pc=1&cat=1[/url] [/quote] Thing is discreet, London, well, there's all those famous and up and coming muso's drifting round there. Professionals, possibly with record/production company money behind them. Plus of course Andy's global reputation. Probably his contact's in the states help as well. So, I'm not quite convinced Andy's is the examplar that shows the whole? -
Superb condition, recently serviced by Gee, going back to the smaller PUMA, IF I can sell this in time. 3.5 years old, these were sold at £799 (unlike the current Indonesian ones at around £600). The Markbass gig bag for this was £80, daft price!. This is a very powerful head, but remarkably light at 6kgs. [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mark_Bass_TTE_500_800.html"]http://www.bassdirec...TE_500_800.html[/url] Collection from Wigan/meet up preferred. Sorry, no trades unless you have an immaculate PUMA 900. Extra £20 for insured UK courier. Feedback at bottom of post, thanks for looking.

Quit my band ,best decision I've made in years
karlfer replied to kevvo66's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='RickyV' timestamp='1460402066' post='3025468'] If it were under different circumstances yes. The guitarist has essentially (although quietly) thrown his toys out of the pram as things arent going exactly as he wants them to and with little regard to others in the band. He was also the reason our original singer left in january. Things will be better without him and we can get back to enjoying the band again and it being fun. Which is the whole point. It's his choice and I am not wasting time sending 'so sorry to hear you're leaving' messages! [/quote] We are going to have to agree to disagree. Unless violence or illegality are involved, everybody deserves an acknowledgement of communications. To me it's only courtesy. In my case it was because the other three booked 2 x 40 minute gigs in Europe (4 days away in total) without me agreeing to it. Final straw. -

karlfer replied to kevvo66's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='RickyV' timestamp='1460393429' post='3025343'] One of our guitarists quit the band today. I have no intention of acknowledging it. It will get a mention on the Facebook page when his name gets removed and that will be about it. [/quote] So, you wouldn't have the courtesy of acknowledging an email of resignation? Perhaps that may be indicative of one of the reasons the guitarist left. Well, each to their own standards I guess. I wish they would take my name off the Facebook page. And stop putting photos of me on it. They were quick enough to cancel my admin duties on it. -

Well done that man. I quit one of the 2 bands I was in, four weeks ago. Two of the members have not even acknowledged it. No announcement on Facebook page. Important me, eh -
SOLD (traded). Sandberg Electra TT4 (jazz style). £320
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in Basses For Sale
Thanks guys . Link to a review of the Precision version from this range, by one of our own. Hope you don't mind Adee. Can't find a whole lot on the jazz style, certainly not in English. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/214998-sandberg-electra-vs4-new-bass-day/page__p__2517123__hl__sandberg__fromsearch__1#entry2517123"]Sandberg Electra VS4 ....... New bass day ! - Basschat[/url] Couple of pm's but I'm a bit surprised to be honest, thought this would have gone very quickly, a bass as good as this, at this price. Might have to keep it rather than lose anymore. Unless anybody has Attitude Special of course Cheers, Karl. -
[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1460369059' post='3024955'] Maybe buy an acoustic bass for home noodling, or something..? I know how it is though, sometimes I feel like jacking it all in and becoming a goat farmer in Venezuela. [/quote] And we all know why He's right though Rhys.

Very nice Sandberg budget bass, NOT the full fat German one (what, at this price ). Continuing clearing out stuff that isn't vital. Korean parts, assembled and QCd in Germany. Bass Direct have them new at around £550. Lightish at 8lb 8oz. PLEK'D..... not many in this price bracket have that. Zero fret (as above). Active/passive. Great bridge. Easy to set up to your requirements The finish on these will very definitely go road worn! This does have a couple of chipped bits. Nothing bad. There will be a couple of links below. Lots of reviews, in German and Japanese Stick with the You Tube one, it does stop being a slap fest!
