As I cant slap, wont slap; its not much use to me Quote

Must be love Done 2 gigs now with Gracie and all is not well. Dont know what Andre has done to it Think I will go single coil and the new pre with the precision switch. Sounded good on a red Rumour that Bernie has laying around that appears to be nameless [/quote] ! ? Not sure what your saying buddy. I can asure you that I haven't done a thing out of place with Gracie. The only person to touch the electronics would have been Bernie. I take really good care of my basses. Maybe I'm taking this the wrong way, four weeks without nicotine and counting Quote

Don't think it's personal (I don't think it was meant to be) - it's all been sorted now and now got the singles in anyway! Quote

I knew it was not right when I did the first band practice with her. 2 gigs later I was absolutely convinced; so new pre-amp has gone in. Much, much better now. Having another full beans GB, although without frets, made it easy to hear. Quote
EBS_freak Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 Just got back from Frankfurt. We took Gabbie out there and I think we caused quite a stir - the sounds (and the lights) got quite a few people interested. Got talking to a guy called Polo Jones - turns out he is quite a player (check his website out for some of the gigs he's landed) and he is a big GB fan, especially when played Gabbie through an EBS stack. I think he is an EBS convert (currently on Eden and Human Base endorsements)! Quote
walkew Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Used my Rumour for the first time over the weekend. It is amazing. I haven't stopped grinning yet Quote

That's where the magic really happens! Quote

phsycoandy Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I sinned and bought a Sadowsky! can I still be in the GB club? Quote
EBS_freak Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Sadowskys are going out of fashion. Its all about the GBs. You'll see. Quote
phsycoandy Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I'm keeping the Spitfire for "nice" gigs, , the Sadowsky is a bit beat up, so will be great for praccys and sh*te gigs, whilst still retaining some qudos and quality, u know the sort of premises i mean! Quote
