My old Mesa 4X10 Road Ready box with the EV's has never let me down.

It was great using my own rig last night and the Sf-2 even got to make a contribution. Nice gig.

Glad it went well! Any pictures?

It can be difficult getting me into the pictures as usually I'm beside the drum riser but behind the three brass players, keyboard or lead vocalist so I don't get many decent stage photo's.

Here is a video a mate of mine sent me today from my gig on 5th May. It came out pretty well considering he was stood right by the mixing desk and using a mobile phone.

My next gig is 15/07/2014 at the Jam House in Birmingham with my NotStrictlyJazz Quartet.

http://www.thsh.co.uk/event/jazzlines-free-gigs-delano-mills-and-not-strictly-/

It's a mix of Stanley Clarke, Grover Washington Jr, Jeff Lorber, Victor Bailey, Crusaders, Gabriela Anders, Marcus Miller.
The venue is one if the nicest places to play in the city for medium sized gigs so i'm looking forward to a good gig and hopefully a good turn out as well.

I plan to use my Series II bass for this gig so I've been working hard on learning to make silent tone changes between numbers as most of the tracks need different bass sounds and generally the bass parts are moving too fast to adjust on the fly and stay in the groove.

Make it a good one V. I used to play the Jam house in Edinburgh with Big Tuna. A nice venue that used to be the BBC scotland studio where they'd record orchestras. I believe Jools Holland started the franchise. No idea if he's still involved.

some people have chance to play lot of times.. :-)

I don't know if he is still involved with the place. I had heard he did one gig a year at the one in brum but I've never seen him listed.

Hi Pierreyves, I do play maybe a couple of gigs a month on average which are reggae so I only use a small part of the bass sound. This gig will allow me to use more of the bass's capability tonally. So I'm really looking forward to it.

Sound check had gone ok. The sound engineer came down to ask me about my bass. He said they never get basses like that here said even my case probably costs more than the other basses we see here. But he loves the sound of it. Hope that transpires into a great gig sound. He asked how much i paid so i referered him to the quote generator. I think his jaw is still on the floor as we speak.
I will post some gig photos later.

What can I say, tonight was the best I've heard from my Series II bass since I bought it. My own cabs and my own amplifier rack setup. Sounded beautiful I had no end of compliments about the gig, the sound and my bass. Even the sound engineer came down after the gig and told me he has never heard a bass sound that clear and powerful. Lots of bottom mids and clean top and no harshness at all. Even from where I was on stage the sound from it was massive. I was having trouble believing It was me making all that sound. I believe those guys at alembic know a thing or two about making great basses. :-)
