Which bass rig is yours? The Ampeg or the Eden cab? I couldn't tell what amp you were pushing the Eden with.

 

[RothSR5]

My rig is the Eden D210XLT and the Ashdown ABM500 EVO II. The other rig, the Tech21 Landmark 300 + Ampeg 4x10 + Ampeg 1x15, belongs to one of the other bands who played the festival.

Yeah! That's because it was taken by a pro photographer with pro equipment. He shoots a lot of the events we put on at the student village where I live. He's also cool enough to put a small collection on the web for all to enjoy.

You guys really have this sort of "scandanavian rocker" thing
going on.

Really, great pics. It's always nice to put a face with the bass.

They sound pretty nice. They have a lot of mids, and they're not as harsh in the top end as Elixirs. After some use they go kinda mellow, but retain a decent punch. Just try a pair, and you'll find out if they suit you. I'm taking mine off today btw. I'm putting on a set of Fodera Diamond Series stainless steel strings.

 

[Baddog]

Colored strings would be cool.

RothSR5,
What's the color of your SR5? Is it Desert Gold?

RothSR5,

No, it's a very dark natural. Haven't seen many others that are this dark though, but I love it!

What's with the Postman Pat Theme?

Well, it works very well as a sing-a-long tune at some gigs. Since this gig was for mostly students, and all of us grew up watching Pat on the TV everybody knows that song. Other then that, it just adds some comedy to the set. As you might already have guessed, we don't take ourselves seriously at all. BTW, the reggae improv was thrown in because someone in the crowd shouted: "Play some reggae!" between songs. Of course we had to give the people what they wanted.
