Why play that when you can play the original Betsy as I did (briefly😀) at the Mansons Guitar Show some years back whilst hanging out with Guy.

Deep sea bass of courses 🤧

Many years ago whilst recording an original demo myself and the guitarist were playing along for the drummer whilst he was getting recorded. The engineer also recorded me, which I was unaware of. I made a small mistake and shrugged it off with the guitarist as it didn't put the drummer off and we knew only the drums were getting recorded. Back in the control room the engineer was blown away by the rhythm section and proudly played the drum and bass tracks back to us. The consensus was my mistake was fairly minor and could possibly be left. I was having none of it and told then I'll play the whole song again which I nailed perfectly. They were even more impressed. Some years later the guitarist was teaching guitar and taught the song to a student. He dabbled at bass quite well and also tried to teach my baseline to the students bassist. He admitted my baseline was quite a handful for both.

I was watching the office episode with that dance the other day. In the dance scene before David does a short bit of air bass to a Beegees tune.

Who even runs their gear at 75-80%

Used to have one and owned it from new. Also had EMG's. Was a great bass with a lovely neck. I eventually sold it as my Stingray was more my thing. Have fun .

Downloaded. Could have some great uses.

Nice one. Great story.

Between £200-250 down our way in Devon

Great stuff. Keep it up.

Hi there. Enjoy the forum and posting.

The online files are ok. Just make sure you prepare the fretboard properly first.

Indeed. Take your pick, or not. I'll get my coat!

Should be up for most pub gigs no problem with those TE watts! If you are playing larger venues you will need PA support. Hopefully your back will be up for the cab.

Me too. Find rehearsing difficult to get into but gigs are where it's at. Although at my age it's quality not quantity.

Contact Alex at Barefaced. He'll advise you.

Kylie set and bass sound still going strong. Will see her at the Eden Project on Tuesday so hoping for more of same.

I have the Classic 450 which is similar to the RH but without some of the features. Soundwise I'm happy with it. The tube tone and spectacomp are great. Flexible 4 band eq is enough. Powerful enough for what I need and Di'd if needed. Paired with a BF retro two10 and I'm sorted.

I'm sure we could go over that for you if you wish. There are plenty of us there to help.

2 venues we play at have hollow timber floors so I use mine at these to help reduce the on stage booming.

Welcome to the forum. I wish there was one when I was your age. You have made the right instrunent choice.

I used to be stage left but in my current band the guitarist said he always has that side so I'm now stage right. I'm ok with either. I can keep an eye on the drummer either way and tbh I haven't thought about being on the bass drum side until now.

I'm having trouble finding the episode on I player. Can anyone tell me which one I should watch?

Some years ago our singer accepted a wedding gig for a friend of his and said we'd do it for free and a bar tab. Myself and our drummer didn't know the couple. We kept asking what we would be getting paid but the singer was a bit vague. The gig was one of the best we've had and the free booze went down well. Got a taxi home and picked up the kit the next day. I wil not do a gig for free unless I personally know the person or its for charity. A free bar is ok but I won't drink anything like my fee. When pressed the singer admitted he really meant that him and the guitarist would do it for free as the know the couple but didn't clarity that with them properly so we all did it for free. This was later and after he paid myself and the drummer our fee out of his own pocket. He has not made the same mistake again and we discuss wedding and party fees between us before offering our services.
