  1. Past hour
  2. Curiosity, why are people who make their own excellent bass cabs buying ready made PA speakers?
  3. This is all great info, thanks. And nice to be back here having needed to step away from it all a while ago. Preamp noise is an interesting one - obviously it matters for some scenarios whereas others it matters not a jot, but is that the only audible difference? Some classic pres are not exactly quiet but they sound great. What I've noticed with crappy budget gear sometimes is a slight (or not so slight) harshness and/or grainyness that accumulates across the channels. Likewise some EQs just sound better than others in a way that feels like it's not wholly about centre frequency and slope/Q. Basically, studio and live I've tended to find the better the gear, the easier mixing becomes. Just not sure where that stops being significant with these digital mixers! The RCF M18 sounds interesting even if only available secondhand.
  4. The one PA we have uses a reference microphone and white noise through each, then both sides of the PA. Not perfect as it doesn't compensate for the place filling with punters, but it speeds everything up.

  7. Just watched "Ambulance" on BBC1, 18th November. Towards the end at 54-00 there is some atmospheric blues music sung by a female. Anybody know anything about this song? I've searched the web and can find nothing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002mfmm/ambulance-series-15-5-broken-heart

  10. I have one of these in this colour and I can vouch for how insanely nice these things are! They actually feel like a well-played vintage instrument. Fender knocked it out of the park with these basses.

  14. An interesting pedal. Not something I’d use but nevertheless…
  15. Indeed. You’re welcome to pop over and try it.
  16. Peterson StroboStomp Mini £90 posted https://www.petersontuners.com/products/stroboStompMini/ Accurate, compact tuner with high-def LCD strobe display and top-mount jack sockets. N.B.

  17. To describe the bass as "distortion ripping from the depths of Hell" would be an understatement.
  18. Just wanted to update here I purchased the bassbuzz course and surprised myself with just how much I knew somewhere in the old grey matter that I cancelled my subscription after the first month and haven't looked for another course since then. I don't regret buying a month of the course as it have me confidence in my playing ability
  19. I can only think of Mo Foster, who had a double bass fingerboard grafted on to his Jazz Bass when he had it made fretless, but I'm pretty sure that bass had both pickups on it. Probably not what you are thinking of.
  20. I was without my phone for a few days and got back to my emails and saw their mailing list one and thought you would be very very happy !
  21. Price drop to £325…..can’t go any lower, I’ll keep it as a spare! 😄
  22. Don’t forget, kids, if you’re so inclined you can recase this in a Future Compact case 😁👍🏻👍🏻 bargain for the buyer! I still have mine so I’m good…
  23. @GrandafatherGroove, this could be what you’ve been looking for.
  24. I don't know whether they're still available, but I got replacement plastic sleeves/handles for a couple of my EV n/dyms a few years back.
  25. Jack Bruce was one of those players that sounded like himself regardless of what bass he played. I don't think the difference between a Spector and Warwick would be that apparent. He just dug into those strings and did his thing.
