Get in touch with All Thumbs from this parish. He has a website about s/s basses and uses many himself.

Echoes or One Of These Days for me.

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1478683645' post='3170818'] Truly democratic band do exist but rarely get past the jamming and messing about stage. A gigging band where each member has true equality in the bands direction, influence, set list etc would appear to be a very rare thing. [/quote] I must be in a minority; both the bands (sorry Blue, I mean Boys Nights Out) I play in are truly democratic. One gigs regularly, the other would too if we could find venues that like original music.

Just sold a P bass to Rich, the perfect gent as always. Great to deal with and a example to all on Basschat.

Welcome to the machine.

Something like the Muse version of Feeling Good might work.

Just acquired an Auralax Gamma from Etienne, all good. Very helpful in arranging delivery and great to deal with.

Midnight Train - Buddy Guy immediately springs to mind.

Just received a beatiful leather strap, nicely packed and good to go. Just what the doctor ordered, many thanks.

Anybody catch the Selling England By The Pound gig in Manchester last night (or other venues). Excellent show, topped off by The Knife as the encore. Recommended for nostalgic old folk like me.

In my case pretty quickly. First attempt was a pre-loved Hartke 500W head and 2x15 cab. All very heavy and not that great for what I was playing. This was followed by an Ashdown set up with a 1x15 and 2x10; and then I discovered Barefaced cabs. Had my Compact and Midget (Gen 2) for around 6 years I think now, possibly longer. I started off powering them with an GK MB500 head, but after a few years discovered the GB Streamliner which is now my gigging head with an Ampeg Portaflex backup/for variety.

Just acquired a rather lovely NS-94 from Chris who was kind enough to meet me half way to hand over the goods in exchange for Monopoly money. Perfect gent and great to deal with. Thanks again for a lovely bass.

I'm sure there will ultimately be no issues, but I get your frustration. That being said, being a 'one man band' cannot be an excuse. Alan at ACG is excellent at updates / responding to queries etc. None of my ACGs have ever taken longer to deliver than the original promise date (up to 12 months for the Custom spec). I guess that is a contributing factor (quality and value for money of the basses of course being high on the list) as to why I go back for more occasionally!

Out of interest has anybody tried a Wal back to back with the ACG Uber spec basses with the multi coils and filter EQs, definitely a nod to Wal? I've had a very quick go on a Wal but not long enough to form any kind of objective opinion.

I believe these are pretty good. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Revelation-RSGB-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Right-Handed-/391085894367?hash=item5b0e892adf:g:qqMAAOSw34FVBxOj I have just acquired the Greco version (advertised on here) for similar reasons...

I just use mine in rotation (otherwise they're out the door).
