Avant Garden - Aerosmith

The ebay pics have a DH Gate watermark, so either "Crazy Guitar World" is affiliated with them, or someone stole the pics that DH Gate stole. Don't be crazy, don't shop there!

Looking Out My Back Door - CCR

Mate I was amazed how articulate my bass was. I put in a @KiOgon loom kit in and some Bart’s. Ive still the original pickups and some roundwounds so I’ll be interested to see how the sound changes. How did you go about achieving more warmth? I notice the treble doesn’t help much with my pbass with flats. It adds or takes away clank noise.

No opens on mine OK. Screenshots for anyone who can't....

I Can See Clearly Now - Jimmy Cliff

Another one someone asked for, Mel Schacher's bass part for 'Footstompin' Music' by Grand Funk Railroad from the 1971 album, 'E Pluribus Funk'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/footstompin-music-grand-funk-railroad/

It's increasingly obvious to me that I am entering my second childhood. This is a Kasim Sulton performance of the tune 'E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)' which I took from a live Blue Öyster Cult video on YouTube. This track takes me back to listening to the band's live album, 'Some Enchanted Evening' when I was a kid. I always loved the harmonies on this track and the verse riff is sick. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/e-t-i-blue-oyster-cult/

Has to be keyboards. They have enormous harmonic range and can play up to ten notes simultaneously (more if the keys player uses a foot...). Fine if you're playing a solo piece. You can have a bass part, chordal accompaniment and melody all at once. In a band context, it can be a nightmare. We've been having this discussion with our keys player recently. He's good, but not very experienced. A a result, he tends to fill too much space, clashing with the other instruments. We're educating him slowly.

Doctor my eyes - Jackson Browne

I had the Magellan 800 head and it’s an awesome amp for sure Build quality, quiet fan, EQ that works and mine had drive too but I rarely used it. This and the Eich T900 were amongst my favourite amps for allowing your bass to sound like your bass !

Cotton Eye joe - Rednex

I've pulled together four live clips all using the RCF 932As (with no sub) for one indoor and 3 outdoor gigs, recorded through a Rode stereo mic into a Sony s6300. Compared to my previous 912As (which I've held onto as a very capable back up rig) I think the 932s do let the vox shine whilst maintaining a meaty low end. Let me know if you agree?

If you think you never overplay, it might be you.

I wanted to upgrade my setup. I originally wanted a tone hammer with a barefaced one 10 but I couldn’t find a barefaced near me to play and see how I like it. I LOVE the tone of the ashdown abm evo IV heads but for home and jamming its over kill. The genzler combo with carry bag came up and decided to give it a try. It’s surprised me with how it’s shown me how articulate my p bass is (Bart pickups & chrome flats). The setup is transparent, responsive and articulate even up the neck, something I haven’t heard before. This is the first amp head and speaker where even with my tone knob on bass turned down I get a really full articulate sound, not muddy boomy sound with no note definition. The EQ is near always at noon “flat” I play fingerstyle funk, r&b, fusion kinda jazz lol (melodic phrasing). This setup makes me want to play more jazz melodic music. The sound is amazing. Still trying to see how to get a tad more warmth from this amp and cab. It’s also near impossible to clip the gain light so figuring out configurations. The contour circuit is very useful. The blue circuit to my ears smooths things out where the amber boosts the mids and compresses bass and treble. anyone which a Magellan head or similar setup, what’s your settings like for the genre for funk, r&b, Motown stuff? cheers
