That idea has crossed my mind too. I love my Tecamp Bass Board - I only use it at home but paired with my headphone rig and my backbeat, playing is a physical pleasure which is just so immersive. So much so that I’ve tried similar devices for music and films in the lounge (in the office I pump my music through the bass board as well as my Hifi which adds great depth). I tried a Woojer strap which just felt a bit muddled with the signal and didn't seem to behave very quickly, maybe I need to play with it more.

Hi all, Unfortunately, an unexpected bill has come in, which means that this excellent Fuzz/Filter from CMC Audio (who make the Proto Type overdrive) has to go. I bought it a little while ago, and honestly, while it’s excellent, it’s also the most valuable of the many fuzzes I have, so needs-must. More info from CMC here: https://cmcaudio.odoo.com/shop/bi-filter-fuzz-33 I made a video of one particular sound I liked below, but there’s more videos on their Instagram and on YouTube which shows it doing straight Fuzz tones, as well as synthy, envelope filter tones too. You can attach an expression pedal, and a holding down the footswitch means it works as a momentary switch (until you take your foot off of course), a short press and release obviously still allows a latching function. No box, but it’s as-new other than Velcro on bottom and will be packed very securely. £185 inc UK postage I’m open to part-ex’s (what u got?), but need at least £100 cash. These are circa £230 new + plus delivery from Belgium + VAT. BFF.mov Cheers Si

That's probably my biggest concern. I really like the VT with the band and I know it compresses things, so I'm wondering if it's worth using a compressor. So then maybe something clean and transparent is the way to go, so it just looks at dynamics? Or does the VT inherently also help control dynamics?

For pure self indulgence I have quite fancied a 10 stringer when I was playing in a folk band, but now would have no musical opportunity to use one. Having looked at a few 8 stringers on line some have the octave strings above and some below the main strings and i wonder what is the benefit of each? My simplistic guess would be fingerstyle would be below and pick playing above.

Fender Jazz Bass 1965 Original L series Fender Jazz Bass from 1965 with an old nitro refinish. Possibly the original color was olympic white, as I can’t find a trace of another color in the cavities. The bass is all original, apart from the refinish. The decal is original too, though there has been some sanding around it. Probably to remove the dirt around it. All electronics and hardware function like they should. The neck is straight with a good functioning truss rod. The pickups are the original grey bottoms, which are undated. The pots date to week 12 1965. Overall condition is very good. There are small damages and usermarks around, but nothing shocking. Soundwise it’s one of the (if not the) best jazzes I’ve owned. The sound is warm, deep, clear, punchy… very nice. La Bella flats are fitted; which are a perfect match. Especially through a nice tube amp; just lush. Playability is great too, a low action is not a problem. The neck has a nice worn in feel too it. Weight is 3,95kg on my kitchen scales. The original case is included, and it’s still sturdy and totally functional. The original chrome pickup covers are included as well. This bass will possibly be withdrawn for sale if my '70 Mustang sells first. Price for straight sale €7.000 Partial trades (basses, guitars) are negotiable though. I’d be especially interested in a Modulus 34" scale quantum, Fender or similar electric guitar (strat, jazzmaster, tele) Epiphone sj200 1957, Precision Bass… -

I quite like it, reminds of the bands in the 80's early 90's I was listening too. Congratulations to them! By the way, was there a CD released? When yes, I'd like to buy it.

I bought a Porter & Davies board when the band I was in went all in ears. I did like the added depth and feel that it provided but, the band never got the IEM system set up properly and the whole experience was just frustrating. Also the board weighs more than my bass rig and is more awkward to cart about. I haven't used it in over a year now. I am considering connecting to to my surround sound sub woofer channel and popping the sofa on top and using it to add another dimension when watching films and concerts.

I bought this new in April last year, using it briefly before discovering GR Bass. As such, everything is in mint condition and I still have the original boxes too so shipping is an option. This is an incredibly versatile amp, so much so that I couldn't possibly run through everything it can do here. There are lots of video reviews worth watching, but I am going to guide you to our very own Dood's review here, which gives a good deep dive into the amp. Boss Katana 500 Bass Head (£734) Boss BT-DUAL Bluetooth adapter (£45), so you can adjust settings on the fly via the app Boss GA-FC pedal (£99)l, again, for ease of switching in a live setup Boss VE-22 Vocal Processor Bag (£74), a perfect fit for the amp, power lead and a couple of speaker cables I’ve added some pictures taken today but forgot to add proof of ownership. Hopefully folks will know I am a stand up guy on here and save me the effort of retaking the pictures.

This quote reminds us all about the reality of what we do. We’ve probably all played venues where there is no sound check.Food venues are the worst, I’ve been told no noise until the punters finish eating and had to wait half an hour for ‘Uncle Albert’ to finish his pud on more than one occasion. The other issue is how you are amplifying the band. If most of what the audience hear is from back line you are pretty much stuffed in acoustically poor venues. You can re eq the bass , maybe damp the drums but good luck with trying to get the guitarist to make adjustments 😀 If you are silent stage and using a digital mixer then using your saved settings and global eq for the PA is the only option that makes sense. The room interactions are with just two speakers. You know what you are sending to the speakers is what you want the audience to hear so the master eq is the tool for getting that as good as possible. I suspect most people are doing something in between these approaches, some proportion of the sound coming from backline with PA backup filling in the gaps. In some ways the worst of all worlds. I’d still be using global eq for the PA though as a first resort, In the end you are stuck with the situation on the night and just have to do the best you can,

Gigged this yesterday and another bass player came up afterwards, took it off the stand and examined it! Perhaps I should post all the specs, but I think you all know what a Flea Jazz is. Someone enquired about the neck. I bought from Bass Direct as I had heard some necks were warped, but clearly didn’t have to send it back. All was well. I will, though, photograph the flaming, which is exceptional - the neck is not reliced like the body.
