If Oasis want rhythm guitarists to play bass, that's their choice. It explains why their music sounds like it does and why Oasis aren't a band that features prominently in bass chat. Most of us don't know who the bass player is. The only song I've ever had to learn is Cigarettes and Alcohol. The bass is buried in the mix or probably more likely is just playing one root note per bar. I gave up trying to learn it and just did the above. The 90s was a strange decade for Music, the Madchester scene mainly passed me by.

Hi everyone. I'm selling my mid-2000s Peavey Millennium 4 string active. I've owned it since new, it's only been used out of the house for a few rehearsals so it's in excellent condition. All the electronics are working as they should. It weighs 3.72kg / 8.2lbs and sits really nicely on a strap. The neck is pretty slim so it's an easy player. Here's a full spec sheet from Peavey. I'm based in West Lancashire and collection would be preferred but I'd be happy to drive for an hour or so if you'd like to do a classic service station / train station meet-up.

Hi Gang! Hope everyones good. Putting my Ashdown rig on sale - this is from December 2024 so 6 months old basically and can prove it. Working perfectly and taken out to rehearsal just 3 times, but going digital with the band (Anagram + IEMs) so no use for this sadly. The head comes with cover, mint. Cabs with minimum scratches - enough to feel them with a nail but not cut thru the tolex - I can still remember the trip where this happen and facepalmed myself. Cabs are about 14kg each or so, can carry the whole rig two handed. Tweeters on OFF/MID/Hi on both cabs. Would prefer selling as a rig. If separate: RM 500 EVO III head £400 w/ cover ABM 2x10 EVO IV Pro Line (not the compact) £400 ABM 1x15 EVO IV Pro Line £350 Take the whole rig for £1k and I'll add the foodswitch and cables too. NOTE: Decoloration is only because of having wiped them with a wet cloth to clean the scratches for more accurate picture - they are black all over and even of course.

Aye! Bass players are their own worst enemy - we see it on BC frequently where amazing bassists are dismissed as wannabe lead guitarists, or "playing too many notes and not knowing their place". We have the biggest instruments (unless it's a Steinberger!) and so should wield them, rather than letting the look-at-me guitarists get all the adulation! We need a protest group - Musicians Against Guitarists' Attention-seeking.

Congrats, JazzyJ. I had a red one of these earlier in the year and it had huge output for a passive bass.

Saturday, at the annual Folk in the Woods. It’s the inaugural event of the week-long Ripley Music Festival. It takes place at the Waingroves Community Woodland, a lovely area reclaimed from a coal mining site and managed by local volunteers. My covers band, Top Deck, finished off the day playing 7pm - 8pm. Back line supplied, so I was able to travel by bus with just my Mustang and a few bits. Any money raised goes to the upkeep of the woodlands, so no fees for anyone. However, it was free drinks and food for performers. I got a little bit confused by the paths walking back through the woods to the main road and bus stop. 🤪🍺

From the clips ive seen, it looks/sounds like the crowds are enjoying it immensely...

Our gig Saturday night was expected to be a bit of a muted affair, due to a range of other events happening in the area the same night. While we did lose a few of our usual following to these, it turned out to be a busy night after all, with plenty of new faces (and future followers). These included one bloke who I know from our village who never knew I was in a band, but had us recommended to him by the postman who regularly attends our gigs. Also there was someone I'd not seen since leaving school! Gig wise, the usual two 45 minutes sets of the British 76-82 punk classics - first outing for Stay Free by The Clash was a bit wobbly but well received! Played my shortscale LP Junior DC custom bass through the Orange Terror 500 and twin Isobaric cabs (lurking in the darkness with it's one glowing orange eye!). The Samsamp Geddy Lee YYZ pedal put a touch of damaged/overdriven speaker cone effect into the sound for authenticity, while the usual Dr Martens black safety boots (health and safety at all times!!) kept me the right way up all night! Next one is in a marquee at a scooter rally in a couple of weeks.....

If you look at ICEPower range, the difference between the the A 125ASX2 and the 1200AS1 in volume is about $100. In bridge mode the 125ASX2 will do 500 watts into 4ohms and is used in a number of “500 watt” amplifiers. The 1200AS1 will need more thermal management than the 125ASX2, more than outweighing the cost implications of the bridging circuits required by the 125ASX2. Thr ASX and AS1 range of modules are used in many bass amplifiers. The 1200 watt unit will dive a loudspeaker harder than a 500 watt but will undoubtedly increase power compression in the loudspeaker, limiting the acoustic output by 1-2 dB, hence you could argue that the 1200 watt unit is the one that is the oddity in the range. Looking at the TE1200, the cost is £1000, way more expensive than the 500-700 watt models from Ashdown, Aguilar and even Harley Benton, all of which use ICEPower modules . I have been told, by people I trust, that the TE1200 is a superb amp so why not an amp filling the gap between 200 and 1200 watts? Clearly the TE branded Peavey ams, Elf and TE1200 have fairy dust inside so why not sprinkle some on a 500-700 watt amp? Although a qualified electronics engineer. I also spent a decade or more in a Marketing role. We had a single model in one category and the Factory developed three models to replace it to suit three different market segments. The Sakes Manager was convinced our sales would remain static. In the end our sales went up 250%. The reason? People could choose from within our range without having to search other manufacturers. So it makes sense for TE/Peavey. So whether a 500 watt TE500(Orca) is needed by bassists is in some way irrelevant, the truth is that there is a market segment for a TE amp in the 500-700 area at about £700-800.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Leonard Smalls replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
We had a full band rehearsal yesterday to get ready for Worcester gig on Friday 11th... The part-band rehearsals really helped - everyone is now more receptive to what the others are playing, and as a result we're tighter and a bit heavier. Guitarman, however, hadn't learnt some of the intricate widdly bass bits I do which would have sound awesome if we both did 'em, so we decided he'd just emphasise the beginning of the phrase in one of the songs leaving me to have a number of mini solos... and in the other one where my busy line does a sort of double time syncopation with the vocals he does just muted scratchy stuff which further emphasises the rhythm. So a bit of a win! Just hoping drum-man doesn't start every song far too slow! -
Here we have a fantastic Glockenlang preamp, comprising Volume, Treble and Bass controls. Pull passive tone circuit activated from Push/Pull vol control. This was removed by my tech from another bass I got in a trade. If you use a twin pickup bass you will just need to obtain a suitable balance pot. The details: GLOCKENKLANG 2-band onboard preamp Active/passive switchable (at the volume push/pull) Treble-pot with +/- 18 dB@18 KHz in active mode, acting as classical high cut in passive mode Bass-pot with +/- 14 dB@40 Hz. Input-impedance (without Balance): 1,5 MOhm Frequency range: 20 Hz -20 KHz Power requirement: 9 volts/1,3 mA Min. installation depth: 28 mm (1.1″) Due to the high performance electronics, in flat position of the eq you can hear no difference between active and passive mode! £75 inc postage. Paypal (you pay fees) or bank transfer both fine. Please see my extensive positive feedback thread for assurance of a simple, honest transaction.
