KiOgon does fantastic wiring kits for P and J bass. I got mine here on basschat for about 20 quid and its really beefed up my quarter pounders, top guy to deal with too!

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1334948984' post='1624056'] The VT1 is very subtle. I use it with solid state amps to add a bit of grind and add tube warmth but it doesn't go much past that, even when cranked. It's a great and useful sound but not what I, and I imagine a lot of people, expect from a drive pedal. I realise I could probably get a more versatile pedal but I like the VT1 sound and they're made in the UK rather than mass produced and I'd rather support a small business. [/quote] yeah Daves a top bloke, theyre awesome sounding pedals, look great too!

hmmm as the owner of a DHA VT2 i cant comment on the behringer but i know that the DHA doesnt really cut it at low volumes with my practce amp but at gig volumes through my ampeg and 4 x 10 and 1 x 15 it sounds huge.

Very interesting debate guys! im happy to discuss our "going" rate. As your fairly typical 3 piece rock covers band down in the South West (Devon) we try to get a minimum of £60 each (£180) for pubs, although we are willing to drop to £50 each if the landlord/lady umms and ahhs (plus we offer that rate for first time gigs in the hope of further work). Christmas/bank holidays/carnivals etc, it creeps up to hopefully £80 each. Its really tough out there at the moment and we have played to a lot of poorly attended pubs this year and know the landlord must be loosing money. I dont want to see the number of venues offering live music ever diminishing, you have to cut your cloth accordingly.

[i]getting on with each other so much more important than ability at any level....[/i]

ha ha not me!

and the PF 500 !! My rig and bass (less the effects and classy ampeg speakers.......... )

lovin the P/J !!!

good times - chic, as per thread in Theory and technique! Absoloute nightmare to get right!

quarter pounders, quarter pounders, quarter pounders, quarter pounders, quarter pounders....sorry

ok think i have the hang of it now... it (to me) is all in the realisation of a little time change in the 2nd part of the lick, excuse my ignorance, but does it move up a notch to 16ths or something with the open A and D, hammer ons bit before the "descent " from open A to the beginning again? Sorry, thats not musically precise im sure, but the best i can articulate it!

yeah, slowly getting the hand of it, its the second part with the change in timing with the open A and D and the hamer on/offs without the open A ringing on thats causing me a headache! Love it though, driving the wife and kids nuts...

its the timing i find a little tricky, those little mutes, damn, he's good!

Is it me or is this a really tricky little bass line? Big heads and egotists out tyhe back door please! Im finding the timing a whole new learning curve from the plodding bass lines i usually bang out. Great line to learn mind!

[i][url="http://www.lemonrock.com"]www.lemonrock.com[/url][/i] [i]good site for bands looking for new members but mainly covers, some origionals though[/i]

quite fancy that costume mind, would look fairly "unique" down the local at our next gig....

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1329778481' post='1547366'] My thoughts exactly..... how can he be so sh*t live but pretty awesome on recordings..... or does he have a 'stuntbassist' on standby? [/quote] and a fluffer?

funnily enough a mate emailed yesterday about seeing them in plymouth next month and the ticket prices were waaay too much!

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1329684005' post='1545961'] Not sure what this means?? I'm going on the Monday I believe [/quote] Sorry i meant no disrespect but 1000 miles/hour slap does not groove IMO, he sure aint no Larry Graham/BootsyMarcus/Verdine, as i said, perhaps you had to be there to really get down n funky, or possibly im talking utter bo**ocks!

£30 to £60 quid , no way! Id rather kiss a tramps arse! Used to love level 42 back when i was a spotty herbert back in 84, but lets be honest, they were pretty embarassing weren't they? Marks an amazing player, but, well, white men cant jump, as the saying goes.... sorry
