Bought another bass of ebay, a Tokai P bass, why do us guitarist always think the instrument we haven't got will sound better than the one we have? decided to give it a try at the Derby Beer Festival gig, a mistake as it turned out. Problems with the sound made it an iffy first half, first of all my amp packed up during the sound check, but they had a spare at the venue which they kindly lent me, but the direct input line didn't work in that one so they finished up micing it up instead, all this meant we couldn't do a proper sound check as the hall was filling up, after a quick poll among the faithful at the break and me changing back to my Stingray bass we got the sound a lot better for the second half and it all went rather well, the sound guy must have been impressed because he offered us a 2nd slot at rock and blues next week on the new 3rd stage.
Got back from holiday plugged my amp in and it worked perfectly
wondering now whether it was the dodgy DI lead that was causing the trouble, the new bass will be back on ebay shortly
.New blog next week after the Rock and Blues gigs, if we've survived a festival attended by 2000 Bikers, it might be prudent to take the Jams Modern World out of the set, don't think they'll be too many Mods there.
