    Why, what's the mattock with them?
  2. Mykesbass
    My brother taught music a couple of years back in a school in south London. Hardly a guitar in sight but lots of enthusiastic musicians.

    Just snuck up to 3. Shuker 5 string fretless P/Tele - main gigging bass. Build Your Own Bass seafoam green 4 string precision - bit of fun parts build project. Cort GB55 JJ metallic seafoam green 5 string Jazz bass - back up for gigging as I'm off on tour, so thought I'd go for something the complete opposite to the Shuker.
  4. Mykesbass
    Played that about 5 years ago - was the polar opposite, weather wise to this year. Sid Griffin was on after us, just as the thunder and lightning started, and everyone, apart from about 5 complete lunatics had retired to listen from their tents! Lovely bunch of people organising though.

    I guess not many other bands do Bob Dylan's Hurricane - so many verses, so my old band just dropped that particular one!
  6. Mykesbass
    Great minds and all that!!
  7. Mykesbass
    Err, yes 🙂

    Remember that one - that was the first time out wasn't it Pete? Had to post a couple of Celestions to Texas from the tiny little post office for Buddy!
  9. Mykesbass
    Yes. I tour managed Buddy's first UK tours and promoted the album. Pete put the band together for me. Both of them great players, and lovely people.
  10. Mykesbass
    His UK bass player is none to shabby either @mybass 😎

    Tedeschi Trucks - take the Blues and do all sorts of weird and wonderful things with it.
  12. Mykesbass
    Yep, pretty much in the same boat, and with a very considerate drummer (no, back off, nothing to see here...)
  13. Mykesbass
    Why?
  14. Mykesbass
    Yes, thanks gents, I'll be doing this at the weekend. Still a bit puzzled by the design flaw though!
  15. Mykesbass
    Was that July last year then? Didn't look that closely.
  16. Mykesbass
    Well the Facebook page shows they are still active - https://www.facebook.com/Picato-Musicians-Strings-163194437126796/ I had a set - great price, great sound. Only complaint was that I found the winding started to peel very slightly, leaving some flaky patches.
  17. Mykesbass
    Looked it up, 15kg, and most of that at the back. I'll have another good look tonight, but pretty sure there is no obvious fixing at the back.
  18. Mykesbass
    Hadn't thought of that, but very valid point (although the amp seems pretty well engineered in that department with plenty of hex fastenings).
  19. Mykesbass
    Very much this. The early digital revolution sounds very poor in retrospect. Dire Straits Brothers in Arms sounds terribly dated whereas Communique and Dire Straits both still sound great to my ears.
  20. Mykesbass
    Yes, was thinking along these lines, but was hoping someone would come along with some nice physics calculations to show me I have nothing to worry about!!
  21. Mykesbass
    Just got a Gator 2U 19" case for my VERY heavy Fender Pro 800 - solid state that could give most valve amps a run for their money when it comes to weight. Bolted the amp in this evening but was left worrying. All that force is being taken by four fairly decent, but quite small bolts. Any engineers, or physicists got any opinions on whether this may be an issue? Just to reiterate, the amp is crazy heavy, and a lot of the weight is at the back, adding to the load on the bolts. Thanks, Mike.
  22. Mykesbass
    Didn't the Basschat Arms close down? Not sure if it was noise complaints from new neighbours or something to do with a goat . . .
  23. Mykesbass
    That's lovely.
  24. Mykesbass
    Probably THE all time summer classic.
  25. Mykesbass
    Yes, I find the 17db moulded plugs I use keeps everything sounding the same, but completely saps the energy especially from the drums. I'm sticking with them though, as I don't want the very mild tinnitus I have getting any worse.
