fuzzonaut Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hello everybody Finally got around to sign in, I have been a „silent reader“ for some time. Lotsa great information around. I started playing bass, or let’s say messing around with it, about 25 years ago, using my brothers stuff. Whenever his amp caught on fire (London City) he decided to give up electrically amplified instruments in general and sold me his gear for almost no money. Since then, I never had any lessons, never used a plectrum, still don’t know any chords – but I’m definitely having fun. Have been in a 3-piece-band (guitar, bass, drums) for about 10 years, doing space rock. When the band broke up and the drummer left, we just kept going as a 2-guys-thing: guitar and bass. It’s more droney now, less rock, but still spacey. Anyway. As you can see below, there is quite some equipement around. I split the signal, using 2 amps, with a cab each, putting effects on both or just one of the amps. No effects board, I usually (re-)link them acording to my mood. I’m seriously thinking about getting a 2x12“ cab that might fit in with the other 2 cabs, so that I’ll drive 10“, 12“, 15“ and 18“ speakers at the same time. Well, that’s about it, I guess. Cheers and of course [i]slanté[/i] Marco aka fuzzonaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Hey Marco, Welcome to BC, or at least the visible part of it. Your plan sounds great, roughly, but is sadly lacking the 6" and 8" cabs that would put the dot on the "i". I like you already. Then again, Switzerland and Norway do have a lot in common. However, soon, some Loon on here will tell you that Switzerland and Scotland have a lot in common as well, but you just disregard that (sorry - inside joke). Anyway, enjoy it here, and don't be a stranger! best, bert Edited February 4, 2013 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzonaut Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi Bert, Thanks for the nice welcome from way up north. I'm not too sure about the 6" and 8" cabs as the dot on the "i" - I'm more into capitals. cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your trip in June, great time to come over, and if you want some "pit-stop-recommandations" for the Geneva-Schaffhausen route, just let me know.

[/quote] For (almost) anything called motorway you need a sticker, costs you 40 swiss francs. Check this, it's in English. http://www.autobahnen.ch/index.php?lg=001&page=014 Plan B: Trying to stay on "country" roads to save that .... well, you will do a lot more miles and probably spent around 20 or so on extra gas anyway - if you don't get lost. Plan C: Forget the sticker and don't get caught! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
