-MY GEAR-

.

i apologise now to all non musos' for the extremely boring nature of the following bits

.

we are going to be putting a link on the erics site to the gear we use (some people are actually interested) so i am just sticking mine on here to start with

here goes

.

my first choice of bass is the musicman matt grey sub bass , its cool as fook and half the price of a stingray

.

.

.

.

.

next is my backup the ibanez EDB500

this was my bass of choice for a good few years and has a great sound and eq

.

.

.

.

.

.

i use a beyerdynamic UHF wireless system which plugs into a hartke HA3500 head

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

this delivers 350 watts to the peavy 4 x 10 (with custom eric grill) and the NWNZ 1 x 15 cab

.

.

i also have a boss bass distortion and always carry a spare amp ( a peavy 150 watt head) which has come in handy on several occasions to cover for sams and phils guitar amps and once when our monitor amp jacked in

.

i would always advise two basses/amps and cabs for gigs so you have always got your back covered if owt does pack in

.

and thats just about it

so you can go back to waching your paint drying now

happy christmas

..

i hope that you all have a great crimbo and a cracking new year

with lotsa love from me and all my lot

The little boy says, "Dark in here."

The man says, "Yes, it is."

Boy: "I have a baseball."

Man: "That's nice."

Boy: "Want to buy it?"

Man: "No, thanks."

Boy: "My Dad's outside."

Man: "OK, how much?"

Boy: "$250"

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boyand the lover are in the closet together.

Man: "Yes, it is."

Boy: "I have a baseball glove."

The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?"

The boy says, "I can't, I sold my baseballand my glove."The Dad asks, "How much did you sell them for?"Boy: "$1,000"The Dad says, "That's terrible to over charge your Friends like that.... that is way more than those two things cost. I'm taking you to church, to confession."They go to the church and the Dad makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and closes the door.
