Basic Sums Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi Folks, hope all is good out there in the world of cyberbass. I hope to pick your collective minds on certain issues in the near future. A little about my gear and band - Bass: 1994 Fender Jazz MIJ (bought from new in Cork city and the bass I'll never sell) Amp: 1988 Ampeg SVT 2 with 4x10 and 1x15 Band: Karma Parking - a ska/reggae/rock originals band based in Ireland Gear I've owed/still own but broken etc.: GK 700rb with 410SBX (okay amp but let me down mid gig recently and not suited to live dub reggae). Demeter vtbp-201 preamp with mackie m1400 power amp through a peavey 410 and 210 (again okay but those mackie amps never liked being moved around and died a couple times). I recently used an mb200 through my old peavey 2x10 cab which I was delighted with as it had far more low end than my full 700rb plus 410sbx!!!

Gareth Hughes Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Good luck at the Picnic. I'm missing it sadly - should have been there with Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club and Gavin Friday but I'm away on tour the day before it starts. Great timing. I've never been to the Picnic - but I'll bet it's an easier load in than The Pav!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Happy to meet, Basic! Lots of people from our wonderful island on the forum so hopefully there'll be a few local gig-sharing opportunities and such-like in the near future! Nice gear list too by the way Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basic Sums Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) @ Gareth - My first time to the picnic myself so should be fun once we don't get too carried away!! Backline is provided for our slot on the trenchtown stage so no hefting this time. I'll check out Gavin's new album now that you've reminded me tonight for sure. @Acid bass - Cheers fella stay in touch re: gigs etc. It's great to have a few fellas this side of the pond to bounce ideas off, pedal gear from/to. I'll keep my eyes open for ya. I'm digging my Ampeg at the moment - plenty of round fat low end for trouser shaking basslines.
