Just got a Peavey bandit for £80, 1990's model, absoloutely fabulous reverb and gain, 80W silly loud, built like a tank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CT9tqogQ5M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKV3DTwCqo8

can't still believe this bo**ocks is still going on in 2017. Any evidence of an agreement is vital, be it texts or email, but, thats not always possible. I always call the venue usually on the day of the gig to at least confirm its us playing. Last gig we did was a new venue and the fee came up £100 short (albeit a genuine counting mistake supposedly and we got sorted). Half the time the landlord/lady are tanked up themselves and in the mood for a ruck, funny how its always the bass players who have to sort out the mess!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1501674738' post='3346441'] You can gig without a bass amp but you can't gig without a pa (unless you're the shadows in a small venue). [/quote] I was asuming his mates in the band would handle all the heavy lifting?

If I was suffering with back issues, I'd ditch cabs completely, make sure the band had great PA and go DI and in ears.

enjoyed that!

yeah reviews are pretty decent on youtube as well

As above, just got this for my lad, one and a half gigs money, cant wait to see/try it, will let you know what i think https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbt1952.htm

nice early start, not 4 hours straight through with no breaks is it?

firstly, sorry that happened, secondly, selling a Les Paul for £171? Really? Thirdly, check musical instruments are even covered in the small print. If so I would imagine he returns it, then you refund him, then claim back the £100 if possible and get it repaired. Good Luck.

we use RCF stuff and its good but pricey, Id go with the Alto recommendations as its got good reviews and is cheap as...

will take a look thanks!

I need a cheap overdrive pedal for "Heartbreaker" in our set but dont want to spend a load for basically one song (may use it on others). Anyway Ive seen some stuff online about these pedals and it all looks quite good (and cheap!) Anyone tried them for bass?

yeah true, but will probably be the same old same old

Thank God, because there are so few festivals on these days.

deffo not the speaker outputs!

surely this would be the way to go http://basschat.co.uk/topic/308461-fsft-sire-v7-swamp-ash-maple-4-string-l300/

wow thats seriously impressive!

[quote name='ricksterphil' timestamp='1499271719' post='3330447'] G# I reckon. That's what I play anyway and the rest of the band haven't locked me out the rehearsal room yet....I too am in a Bowie Trib band and I agree, Trev Boulder's work has gone under the radar....bit like Mick Ronsons'. Just wait til you get to [b]'Heroes' [/b]now that is some bassline! [/quote] Great thanks..now Ive got to learn it, your fault!

not a fan of this band at all but thought this was a great solo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lZeUqbVW18

Had a working Pro 700, heavy but the best solid state amp ive had (not had that many mind, about 5 or 6), the bass/Aural enhancer was epic, very well constructed.

emptied the Till pretty much playing to about a dozen people in a pub in Crediton, how they can keep this going is beyond me, lovely staff, free drinks all night, perhaps thats half the problem

has anyone seen how the price of used turntables on ebay have gone silly over the last couple of years?

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1498642216' post='3326017'] Without wanting to get into any sort of competition, this is just sublime...ff to about 1:10. It's worth it. [url="https://youtu.be/3O72lItS4OA"]https://youtu.be/3O72lItS4OA[/url] [/quote] thats made my day!
