Roob Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Hello! Just to introduce myself... My name is Adam, 21, bassist of 7 years in Ipswich. Currently playing a Rockwood (Hohner) with a Sessionette 100 combo. Recently joined a rock covers band and am loving every minute. Quote
BigBeefChief Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Hello mate. I used to have a Rockwood bass. I won it on a tv show! Lost it somewhere though. Is it red? If so, I want it back! Welcome. Quote
Roob Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Alas, it's black with a few battle scars, got a nice chunk taken out of the neck when the strap popped off . Quote

andy67 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 welcome mate, is your sessionette combo a 410 by any chance? andy Quote
Roob Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Yes it is. I got it when I started playing. It's been absolutely brilliant in that time. I've had it serviced once as it started sqeaking and making funny noises after a couple of years, and managed to break a volume knob off the other day, but good apart from that. Being only 100W though, I am looking to pickup another 2x10 to add for a bit more oomph when playing live, I used to do alot of pop which didn't require as much volume...whereas now I am battling with the drummer .

mathewsanchez Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Hi Adam, welcome to the forum. What's your band called? I do a bit of gigging round ipswich in my second band called 'to the dogs' (my other band's too lazy to do anything). Quote
phsycoandy Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 welcome fellow ipswicher, which covers band r u in? i 2 play in one called Catch66, good fun as u say, many gigs going down Quote
pete.young Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Another one. We really should have a get-together, even if it's just going for a quiet pint somewhere. How about meeting up in the Steamboat one night? Quote
Roob Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Currently, we have no name, still working on that one Hopefully you will see us supporting a much better band sometime soon! Quote
Bilbo Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Sounds cool to me, Pete. We should find a band with a weak bass player and all stand at the back and intimidate him!!! Quote

andy67 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I had the 410 it was brilliant especially being 100 watt!! however...be aware of the fact that when you plug in an extension cabinet it defeats the internal speakers - well it did on mine andy Quote

[/quote]ur a bad man but have my sense of humour! im playing at kesgrave bell sunday evening, come and have a beer Quote
chiron-UTS Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Didn't realise there were so many ipswich lads here! Even a few i recognise... =] I'm from ipswich in a band called underline the sky, i think we did a show with to the dogs when they lost their first bass player. Looking forward to meeting everyone at some point. x Quote

If I survive tonights gig in Ilford, I'll see you there. Edit: Doh - I've double-booked myself, got a concert with the brass band I'd forgotten about. Will catch up with you at some point.

darwin Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I should be going along on Sunday - it's walking distance for me and I know the others in the band... I'm the old bassist phsycoandy - we met (and discussed the merits of MarkBass gear) when I recorded your demo CD for you... Quote
