Last November, I couldn’t believe my luck to find a Classic Sterling this side of the pond: In May, I found another one - and with a maple fingerboard, to boot: A plan took shape, a deal was made, a beautiful bass received - and two necks were swapped: Such cool basses.

Sounds like they called Flea and Navarro in and only gave them the vocal stems, and they did a one take hit and run. RHCP track live, and for a reason. They're not going to be spending all day finessing individual bars and timing. https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/inside-track-red-hot-chili-peppers-black-summer

Great pedal 💪🏻 -
As a teenager, figuring out where bass fits with other instruments, the Queen back catalogue offered a great deal of insight. I learned to play unison with that piano left hand, move out of its way or make room for striding lines. In later life playing in prog bands, it was noticed and some of the fattest riffs came not from distorted guitars but rock solid piano and bass

By 'key's' I mean synth mostly. Those low Feqs can knock buildings down 🤣

Piano is a full range solo instrument capable of being the only accompaniment required. My dad has been playing piano for 75 years. When he calls me for backup, he says, its great to have a good bass player who understands chord structure, I can't be doing that driving left hand stuff all night. 🤣

Yes. It's really 'noisy'. They're all 'youngsters' and clearly having fun. I'd say when you have big powerful PA behind you, you can afford not to smash your instruments hard and reign in the passion a little bit. It may be that the arrangements aren't that far off, its the loudness wars and exuberance that may be pushing the envelope. The drummer is also hitting lots of open cymbals. There's a balance between musicality and full out punk. Love the violin, but that also needs to be arranged around so everything else doesn't crowd it out. Make it a feature, everyone else doesnt need to be louder than the violin. Hopefully this is positive criticism. Its about having a mature outlook to what is the feature instrument, or vocal, at any point, and what are backing instruments.

I have one of these Valeton GP-5 pedals and for ease of use and the small size vs the price it’s one of the best pieces of kit I’ve tried in some time. Use your phone app to tweak it, don’t need to PC up for it. GLWTS- 1 reply

Cracking bit of classic Trace Elliot gear, dual band compressor pedal, very flexible, sounds great. Can run off a pair of 9v batteries or the (included) 18v power supply. In excellent condition and perfect working order. I read on basschat that the version 3 PCB is preferred over the 2. As can be seen in the photos this is a V3. Boxed with original operating instructions. Collection always welcome, or insured UK postage for this will be £11.50

Its quite a good venue but it does have a few issues with sound. Difficulties with drums on a drum riser and a hollow wooden stage was causing a lot of very low droning sounds. SE added a gate of some sort to help but it wasn't there during sound check. You seem to get a lot of rebound noise which made it sound as if we had a lot of reverb on things but there was very little being used. It could do with a bit of a tidy up around the stage area and the changing room but its not the worst we've played by any means. To be fair to them they are trying to upgrade a very old building that i'm guessing was an old theatre come picture house come bingo hall and now being changed over to a proper venue. The team working in it last night were pretty good tho and very helpful. Give it a couple of years and it should be a decent gigging venue for touring bands. Dave

Very interesting! There seems to be a few details where yours and @ChrisDev's differ. https://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=349 It would be interesting to listen to your dialogue about the choices you both made with these transcriptions. Just to help us mortals when we try to construct ours.

QSC CP12 Active PA Speaker 1000 Watts One of two - priced individually or for a small discount if sold as a pair. This speaker is as new and has not been used since purchase. It comes with additional QSC waterproof cover for outdoor use. Very powerful speakers however I’m downsizing and selling my larger portable PA gear. Street price is £579 cheapest I can find so this is a good saving. The covers cost an extra £67. The user manual is included. I have two of these for sale. I can knock off £40 if you buy the pair. Pickup definitely preferred but talk to me if this is impossible. UK only. Postage would be at buyer’s cost and I’d need to source packaging as the boxes have been recycled. These speakers get glowing reviews in Sound on Sound magazine - https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/qsc-cp-series I own a pair of QSC CP8s which are perfectly fine for keyboard monitoring and rehearsal PA so these aren’t needed now for personal use.
