cloudburst Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Love the way he spelt 'professional' unprofessionally. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 do you think it's just markbass or all class D amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapbassSteve Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 *cringe* Well, good luck to him! 'to drive band along'- you do your job, sunshine, and we'll do ours! I take the Markbass bit a little bit personally. Presumably the guitarist has a Marshall Wall of Doom and only a wall of 8x10s will keep up...

rushbo Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Nothing about experience, talent or commitment, but plenty of detail about what cab they'd prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Perhaps it's the rig he's after... and when you turn up with it the only thing you'll leave with is a concussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 .....and if we are going to be really picky: " band has roots in roots music". Repetition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Obviously never heard my wee LMII through my homemade 2x10 which can strip the flesh from the first couple of rows of sweaty faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 He says Mark Bass generation, so possibly he means Marco's offspring? More likely just a tool who counts visuals over tone and talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hmm, maybe I'll start a band and specify which equipment everyone else has to bring to auditions. That should make it really easy to find talented, committed, professional and like-minded players. Letting anyone bring any piece of kit they want hasn't worked out for me, so I'll give this approach a spin - I'll let you know how I get on.

Beedster Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I like the specificity of genre, blues funk rock country, gospel, soul, groove Worryingly i think I used to play in this band, and at the time I had a Markbass cab, albeit a 6x10 (this association alone, and not Markbass technology per se, might explain the anti-Markbass sentiment). If it's the same guys - how many guys spell Chris 'Cris' after all - I seriously can't recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 As an idea of how often they gig, ask yourself "just how many workingmans' clubs are there in the M25 area" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBollock Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 His Equipment section is erm... interesting. Artwork isn't the word I would use for those gouges, and if it hadn't said that that was supposed to say Flame, I would have had no idea. And his political rant seems oddly placed.
