Merton

OHM, I have a few drummer's numbers in Surrey if you need deps for the gigs? I totally understand where you're coming from with the rant, but I get it with singers, not drummers! Our function band drummer is great, he writes out the parts and has them to hand at gigs just in case. Meanwhile our singers are always whinging about this or that, and one of them still has to have the bloody lyrics on a music stand 5 years after we started the band. Even [b]I[/b] know them by now!

Nice bass, I want an S2 Classic 5 string so much!

[/quote] Oooh, you got the one on ebay? Good work! That will sound MONSTER, the 4x12 cab is a heavy bugger but sounds feckin great

Er yes, didn't make that clear did I?!! Haha. If I'd bought a V-Type head for a tenner I'd have been the luckiest b*gger alive. it was £255 plus a tenner for delivery from Derbyshire

[quote name='mr pablo' post='207634' date='May 27 2008, 10:11 PM']I kinda regret selling it on as well mate twas a great sounding head just didnt really get on with the 12 band graphic, still sounded ace with the valve drive on full with a wee boost around 300k. . . . . . . . . .[/quote] Same reasons I sold it and I liked it!

You're right, they were Celestion afaik. I had a MAG cab with the black Celestions in and I loved it, much better than the same cab with Bluelines which I have also used...

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='208519' date='May 28 2008, 11:29 PM']If we get any of those gigs, I'll let you know and just a thought, but can I say we were recommended by your bands? Cheers Nik[/quote] Yes. Given Ben wants Tony to be his dep if ever needed I have no problem with that at all!!

Sad to say it happens all the time. If I borrow someone elses rig I will always offer a drink or two as a thank you, common courtesy. I've done gigs with my rig just used without question before and not a single please or thank you, inlcuding one asshole who almost blew all the speaker f**kin about with his fx pedals. Thesedays if it's not organised in advance then it doesn't happen as far as I'm concerned.

Haywards Heath - Bar None (or is it All Bar One?) Ah bugger, one or the other. We're gigging ther ein April off the back of a recommendation from the Crow's Nest.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='208089' date='May 28 2008, 03:17 PM']Apparently he used to be pretty popular up north.[/quote] Can't say the name rings a bell with me.

[quote name='gafbass02' post='208064' date='May 28 2008, 02:50 PM']yup, Cass Lewis, or me, probably me actually. [/quote] +1 (I've never knowingly heard you play but you must be good coz you used to have the patience to cart around a massive Trace rig!)

If I had: a. the arms b. the money c. the storage space, and d. the musical need I'd buy them. But I don't. For anyone seriously considering this (really? are your SURE?), I bought a V-Type head off this dude a few years back, he drove down from Derbyshire to Gatwick and met me to hand it over, for the princely sum of £10. Good guy, very interesting stories!

This has come up before, but I can't find it right now... Personally, I wanted a Status neck, PUps and hardware and their version of the Jazz shape is a bit sleeker and sexier (IMHO). Can't talk for anyone else tho. EDIT: plus 1 to bass_ferret's comments too

[quote name='coasterbass' post='207871' date='May 28 2008, 10:33 AM']Is there a drumchat forum where our 'other halves' chat about the same topics?? [/quote] Would they be able to construct sentences properly?

[quote name='Tengu' post='207674' date='May 27 2008, 10:47 PM']Our drummer has suggested doing this one. Reading your post has made me more inclined to learn it [/quote] Same here. Hmmm, maybe there's something in the water...

Yes, my Retroactive makes me all grinny from ear to ear! Actually beginning to find more and more that I don't like the Groove as much coz the Retro is so much better, but.... ah well, I need a five string and it's nice to play i guess!

Put it this way, I use combos at the moment (and love them) but I'm always toying with the idea of going back to a head+cab set up. Make of that what you will!
