You finally beat the Ashdown curse!

Absolutely. This gig had a variety of bass tones in the set list that included covers by Stanley, Marcus, Victor Bailey and others but all the tracks required a different sound and I was able to find them quickly without much problem so I think I'm getting the hang of the filters and volume relationships now.

I had one situation in School days when I accidentally hit the master volume while performing one of Stanley Clarkes flamenco type strums on my bass and blasted the place with sound. However I was fortunate not to blow my cab as the volume on my QSC was at max!!!!
Anyway here is a snapshot from the gig. We were playing a song called I'll be loving you by an argentinian singer called Gabriella Anders. The singer we used for that song is from Hungary.

Rusty, i think ashdown is going to follow me like a stray dog for years to come. I have a rehearsal with musical youth tonight at a music college here and they have all ashdown bass gear, two festivals at the weekend where at least one will definitely have ashdown gear because the college provides their facilities.
I'm gonna carry my F1-x so I can at least control what goes out to the p.a.

Instead of the venues providing you with an amp, maybe you could just get them to provide you with a roadie to tote your own amp!

Well let's hope when the band's album is released it makes enough of a splash that we get to choose what back line we want.
However there is some light on the horizon. For Sunday's festival Steel Pulse are headlining so I get to use the back line that they have specified for the gig. That means a couple of Eden WT800 world series amps and eden cabs. Not sure why they are using two amps. I know the bass player is a Carvin bass endorsee but I don't know if his bass has stereo output.

I have an Eden WT 800 & 4X10 & 1X15 cabinets, you are going to love that rig!

Today's gig I had an Eden WT800 & Eden 4x10 cab. Sounded nice. Far too many controls on that thing for me to grasp for the first time. So I left the controls where they were.
The bridged mono and the bi-amp mode buttons were removed.

Say hi to Amlak for me! It's been a while, but we used to cross paths at festivals here in the states.

Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to meet up but if I get to meet him before he goes off on tour again I will.

Does he know you as Edwin?

edwin · « **Reply #56 on:** July 20, 2014, 04:14:03 PM »

If he remembers me at all. We met about 3 or 4 times, and at one point he was talking to my wife, Dawn, about having a scent made. It's been a few years.

A snap from last night's gig we went down a storm with the punters. Every single song got a huge response and we got a standing ovation for the last track What is Hip? and again for our encore track School days.

Excellent, Jazzy! You gotta love a place with that mural on the wall. Also you should have gotten some low frequency coupling from the corner position of your amp.
