I have a TC Classic 450 and Barefaced 2x10 which is plenty loud enough in my rock covers band. On the odd occasion I need more volume I put a bit through the PA. Got to 4 on the master volume in one pub. Second hand price for both was well under a grand.

Got my ticket with the BassChat discount Can only be there for the Sunday but looking forward to going there and catching up with so BC's at Ped stand.

I foolishly passed on his show in Exeter some years ago when he came down to the Mansons guitar show. This is a bit too far.

I had one but have since sold it. Mine was light and would neck dive. I read a BGM review and they had a fairly heavy one. I even contacted the online shop i bought it from and they said they all weigh the same as mine. I started a thread here about it and got some good advice if you search. That said it was a nice bass to play. It felt and looked good. After playing my Stingray for years it felt inferior but good value for the price. I would suggest trying one out first if you can, even if it is a fairly cheap bass. Out of the other options out there you could do worse. The guys l sold it to wanted a cheap Fender copy and put flats on it.

Planning to go on the Sunday as part of a London visit with some of the family for the weekend. Looking forward to it.

Cracking song. We play it in our band. With ACDC its more about the feeling and interaction with the drums and guitar. There aren't usually that many notes but that doesn't mean they are easy. This one isn't too bad. Listen carefully and play along to the song.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Will you be able to do some real life Japcrap spotting for us all and post to that topic? I trust you have had a look there!

Renault Kangoo will more than do the job.

Hi from Devon. Enjoy the forum.

Hi and welcome. I was in Orlando not long ago and visited BB Kings blues bar and caught the excellent Trae Pierce & T-Stone band. Had a great time. Enjoy the forum.

I've yet to see the film, but don't believe there are

With my old TE AH200 & 2 cabs at 4ohms - Master Volume no more than 2/10 With my TC Classic 450 & 4ohm Barefaced 210 - Master volume between 3/10 & 4.5/10 depending on size of venue. Always set to suit drums and venue / stage size.

Thanks for posting. Great read.

I've not had anyone do this behind our backs. A few times people have asked to pose with the instruments and mics which is ok. The last time somebody had a go without asking as such was a when a young lady joined us mid set to 'help out' on the drums. She somehow got a spare stick and joined in on the cymbals and floor toms. She was surprisingly in time. In order to do this she had to sit on my cab (the barefaced cheek of it!.-check my sig) It certainly looked like she was enjoying herself. I'm not sure if it was the drumming or having my bass notes pulsate through her.... I was videoing the gig with my 'Bass Cam' so got a good bit of footage. After a few minutes her friends gestured for her to leave as their taxi had arrived. Haven't seen her since.

No. Although recently I was checking my tuning with harmonious and a guy approached me later and said it reminded him of Jaco!

£200 to £250 for pub gigs is the norm down here in the SW. I can't see that changing anytime soon. If you feel you deserve more or can command a higher fee then you will need to justify it.

One of my favourite bands. Played a few songs along the way. Tried to get a tribute band together but didn't work. Would loved to have seen them live but never mind.

Some good tips here. FWIW, I suggest smiling (not looking bored) is a good idea. Also don't nod your head like a demented chicken. OK, I'm 50 now and generally just move around the stage. I will move next to the others and interact a bit. Rocking out with the guitarist whilst in a rock stance. Singing bv's into the singers mic with him. Interact with the drummer with some rhythms we both share. Use my bass and point it a bit. Have fun.

That not good to hear. I can vouch for the colour as I have it

Howdy Yank.

Strings, leads, batteries should do for most incidents. A DI box is useful too if your amp or cab fails. I have had to replace or use all the above at one time or another.

I'm looking at going to this one for the first time. Should be a good weekend in London which I can mix up with other visits.

[quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1479900089' post='3180090'] A lot of stingrays have this issue, moving the pickup for most does not really sort the Issue out for one that is bad as the four middle poles are higher so if you raise the bottom of the pick up to try and make the g louder the d gets louder, The main prob really comes into play when I play swing or walking bass lines when I move to the g all the loudness drops out. There is a cure I have done and covered this before, Now here is my disclaimer .... I have done this to all my stingrays and works great, up to you if you want to try it, or get advice first.... The four middle poles will push down, don't attempt to raise the end ones as the coils are wrapped around these and so a lot of tension on them , but if you press down gently but firmly the middle four will go down and even out all the poles, then when you raise the pickup the g will be as loud as the a an d , I can post a pic if wanted of all my poles flat inline, makes a big difference, Now will say again, only try this if it's really bad as a last resort before say changing the pickup, and if you are not up to it, then get advice about it, Hope it helps here is the pickup after the pole height adjustment, its now so much better. ( for me) [attachment=232578:IMG_1026.jpg] [/quote] I had this problem some years ago on my 2 band eq Ray and this totally solved it. There was a thread on here about it. It's easily done.
