Tony[/quote] Pete Ray Biggin is the guy that's behind him on tour... one of my favest drummers. Anyway, he has always been pretty handy from an early age. Check this - [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u02eZsjLntk"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u02eZsjLntk[/url] - he's the third drummer. No competition in my book... Quote
slaphappygarry Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) What is that? Some sort of vintage valve ampeg? G Edited October 15, 2007 by slaphappygarry Quote

(and he's the loudest ).[/quote] You should see him now! As for the amp - it looks like a vintage ampeg svt to me. Looks like it has been debadged... Quote

beerdragon Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I have this phobia about a straight jack on my bass, i smacked on once and bent it a bit. could have been worse so its an angled jack for me, Quote

funkysimon Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Interesting, wonder if he's mic'ed and DI'ed or just mic'ed. I guess that's kind of a dumb question, I'm just so used to DI'ing that seeing a mic'ed bass cab surprises me! I also wonder how much Ronson is making off this album, surely all the money goes to the copyright owners, which I guess is the people that wrote the songs? Quote

In terms of amp sound, the sound guys haven't got a lot of options other than to mic. I mean, you could put a load in between the amp and the speaker and tap off a line feed (like some attenuators have)... but then you have to be bothered with speaker sims. I reckon Ronson is making considerably more from the tours than he could ever hope to make off the album itself... Edited October 15, 2007 by EBS_freak Quote
99ster Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) Yeah - they've definitely de-badged all of his Ampeg gear since the previous tour.... Probably the usual story of him/or the band getting paid to endorse an amp that he never actually uses or likes. And that goes on a lot more than people realise... So it's goodbye to Warwick & modern amps - & hello lovely old pre-CBS Precision & Ampeg valve gear. Here's a picture from earlier in 2007 - same set-up but with badges intact + a glimpse of his pedals... [attachment=2885:ronson_zender.jpg] Edited October 15, 2007 by 99ster Quote
Maximus Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I was at that gig! What a great night. Some fantastic music going on there! Did anyone see what pedals he was using? I think I saw an MXR Blowtorch, can anyone back me up on that? Quote

SMART Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) Can't beat a simple straight forward approach... It's all about the music, the space in between (sounds like a Roxy Music number!)... Ciao Ian Edited October 15, 2007 by SMART Quote

Bassman7 Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) Thanks, guys but that's the other end of the country so I'll have to wait till another time. Edited October 16, 2007 by Bassman7 Quote
ednaplate Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Just read a review of the Manchester gig. Not positive at all. It's a pity as Mr Z is a real talent however Mr Ronson was described as swearing too much and looking like a public schoolboy trying to be all chav. There were only a couple of vocalists so he couldn't really recreate the Version album. Bit disappointing as I do like the album. Anyway that same night Rush were in town and... nuff said! Quote

EBS_freak Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Checked the man last night. I preferred the Warwick/Trace setup but give him his dues, he played well. Nice groove throughout. I like Ronson's plan, surround yourself by great musicians - he was by far the worst musician stage (in a playing sesnse)... they make him look good. Quote
MB1 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 MB1. Fender?? .....Nah! its a debadged Warwick? Nice to see the return of Mr Z, Great pic Tony! Quote
