fake as a fake thing

or indeed an old harley benton axe for 300 sovs!

is it me or is reverb really expensive?

are his strings upside down?

fantastically sexy instrument slung down around your thighs fnnnaaar

yep, never been asked in 400+ gigs, all pubs.

exactly what I do, ampeg is the last thing into the van after all the pa has been stowed, also first thing to come out when i get home ( if I can be @rsed)

yeah get one below 50 quid for sure, they work well on bass but i couldn't vouch for gigging

its ok but really they're guitar pedals

leave it on standby if you have to wait anymore than 10/15 minutes before playing. If its literally hours then switch it off. I'll soundcheck then go into standby, grab a drink, take a p1ss, then one two three...forgot to switch it back out of standby!

Where you based? Think around £250 -300 for pub gigs but you got to have a decent reputation to command that kind of money week in week out. If you're starting out, aim a little lower to get established but don't stay too low or you'll drag the rest of us down! Yeah don't do chridee gigs anymore either (thankless task)

The beast! Always remember to fire it up (standby on) when you first get to the gig, it takes a while to warm up and switch it off (via the standby switch of course) straight after the gig as you want it to cool down before you start shifting it. And for Gods sake use your legs, not your back! ALWAYS have it plugged into the cab before you switch it on, get a good quality cable from Obbm (they are amazing), and finally get it serviced once a year, enjoy, they are incredible, don't be afraid to turn the mid range right up otherwise you won't hear much difference in the 4 way mids selector switch, only took me 5 years to figure that out!

I'll repeat as the origional reply was removed, I was only trying to be helpful, there's no need to be a large appendage

seen it loads of times but my favourite BV clip

yeah I was searching for a pick behind the PC!

my favourite player!

well there's something interesting I learned about today from my lad!

how to make a webpage pretty much unnavigable! Hope the products better!

I'd personally go for a YOB Precision or Jazz (1965) but Im not sure if 3 grand would get me one! At least I could sell it on without a loss if it wasn't what I was hoping for. Just had a look, doesn't seem like 3 grand would get me anywhere near I'd still go 2nd hand though, probabbly a 70's stingray! Again move it on without a loss

got one, very dark sounding IMO, heavy, look cool

enjoyed that thanks for sharing

you'll have fun with that, we had one (we're a trio as well), far too complicated for our needs, sold it on and moved back to an analogue desk, but its an amazing bit of kit that XR18, so many options..

hmm, just had a go on it, play the G string on the 9th fret ( E note) and pivot your thumb (mines resting on the neck at the 9th fret), no need to stretch up to the 14th?
