    Used to occasionally run into similar problems. Game changer for me was putting a Micro Thumpinator on my board. It cuts out all of useless frequencies below 37Hz (I think) which suck all the power out of your amp and cause the drivers to flap about, potentially causing severe damage. Wouldn't be without it now because it focusses the sound right where you need it. I'd also look at pushing the mids in the EQ to try to get some more cut through.

    Ferrofish B4000+ Organ Module Hammond Brilliant little organ module from Ferrofish that makes any midi controller into a Hammond organ complete with drawbars, reverb, rotary speaker and overdrive. It’s really solidly made all steel construction with a small but clear display to show your way through the presets and variations. You can use it to save your own sounds or as a live organ using the drawbars. You can attach a control pedal to it for the rotary effect and it has USB and midi. It is also designed to be used with two controllers and a set of bass pedals if you want the full B3 experience but it doesn’t take four roadies to shift it! High quality and still being manufactured in Germany it comes boxed with manual PSU and USB lead. I’ve used it occasionally for gigs when space has been tight but mainly for rehearsals rather than carting my Nord around so I can use the in house controller. Really handy little unit. Great condition. See specs here and sound samples, lots of videos online - https://www.ferrofish.com/b4000-organ/?v=7885444af42e&cn-reloaded=1 I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost. Note you are buying the module, PSU and USB lead no controller keyboard is included.

    I’ve five pairs of headphones all of which have strengths and weakness and none of which are in any real way better than any of the others. Same with hifi speakers (four sets) 🤔

    44 years ago, after my summer job as a 16 years old student, I bought a second hand ... electric guitar with an amp, and not knowing a damn thing about their value I paid them more than the new price, but it was locally, so I had IT! The seller showed me how to play the Smoke on the Water riff and I played it every day trying to learn the rest of the song and some chords on an out of tune guitar as I had no tuner except that kazoo thingy producing an A, but my ears weren't that good back then, so it was an equal approximative non Bach tuning... 🤪 Then 2 years later a friend of mine forgot and lost the pile of records I lent him in the train, and the Chrome (remember that band?) Box was impossible to find as it was a limited edition, so he gave me his Maya EB-2 as a compensation and it started it all. I made a few hundreds gigs over this period, but never reached @Happy Jack 1000 goal (see what I did here). But a few months ago, I definitely focused on piano, and never touched a bass again, and certainly never will again. So 2025 has been a year of musical changes for me. That's life.

    They've got Warwick Red 5 string sets for £3.84 as well. They're actually ok too. And rumour has it that the Sadowskys are just rebranded Warwicks. If you want DR strings try Strings and Beyond. They have 25% off until the New Year and they're cheaper than over here to start with. Even with shipping it's a chunk less.

    I don't think it's just the music scene.... 😉😂 Is it too late to change your mind?

    Last nights rehearsal for NYE gig. Epic. We played really well and sounded great 😁. Then we went and had a curry, and after that ended up in the pub. Marvelous 🙃🙃🙃

    Yup still available!

    Bit the bullet - ordered one, should be with me this week. I still have this niggling thought that its all hype but hoping I'm wrong!
  15. SimonK started following The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
  16. SimonK
    ...never been a massive fan of short scale basses for gigging so normally overlook this thread, until realising that my Ibanez Talman is almost always on my lap when sitting in front of the computer for random noodling as the size makes it perfect for around the house!

    Great story, Jack, and Happy 20th Bass Birthday ! 🍻🎸🎶🥂 It's almost a 'Happy Jack, Lord of the Strings - or there and back again' kind of epic tale... Just goes to show why - when it gets under your skin - music, playing bass and this place, can become so all-consuming and life changing. Ronaldo says he's going to retire when he gets to a 1000 career goals, but compared to your gigging ambitions Jack, he's clearly a bit of a lightweight!! 😁

    ...I suppose this is the bass players equivalent of "guitars and girls" threads (from guitar forums), apart from as bass players we can't find the girls... 🥲 !

    As I've had no response since asking the question, am I right to assume that I'm moving to an area where the music scene is dead? 🤔

    The smaller ‘head’ section has 2 up-firing speakers, which seemed to help with on stage monitoring. That said, when stacked, it’s not exactly very tall, so I suspect that there’s some floor coupling going on too, with this arrangement.
