  2. xgsjx started following Hearing aids for musicians?
  3. xgsjx
    I’m desperately in need of new hearing aids & wondered what my fellow deafies use? Also, what’s people’s opinions on hearing aids with AI? My concern is privacy & AI recording my conversations. But it does seem to be a lot of benefit otherwise.
  4. Beer of the Bass
    I played a set with him a bit over 20 years ago, before I really knew who he was or what he did. The band I was playing with opened, some local improv-heavy jazz sorts played with him, and then we combined everyone for a third improvised set. I was not prepared for how funny he could be, I remember absolutely cracking up trying to play.

    It’s okay to respond to an old thread, it’s makes people read the thread and learn something that has been forgotten
  6. monad started following G&L L-2000 4 String Active Maple Neck Bass Guitar Made In USA With Hardcase
  7. monad
    This is a gorgeous Blueburst G&L. What could be nicer than a Fender and a Musicman fused into something better? Active with a maple neck, amazing for slapping and all around a very versatile and beautiful instrument. Made in USA. Comes with an original G&L hardcase. Collection only! No trades unfortunately...

    I used to be bothered but I’m better now. Just imagine the audience aren’t there and you’re playing for the people alongside you with instruments

    @kwmlondon I'm really keen to find out what your decision will be as and when you arrive there. Can I ask why you feel 4s aren't for you anymore?

    Not really....it just sounds like I do! 🤣

    So you exclusively playing fretless nowadays, after you erase all your frets?

    Darkglass Anagram

    Russ replied to Kev's topic in Effects

    So I've come to the conclusion that the Anagram is not for me. It's good, but I'm a little underwhelmed by the range of effects and I foresee issues with its usability in a live situation. Anyone know how to do a factory reset so I can send it back?

    Just following on from your dislike of certain instruments onstage, that’s all.

    I quite like acoustic guitars mixed with electric ones. Stops that dreaded two electric guitar thing where you get both players playing exactly the same thing for no apparent reason. At least acoustics bring a different texture and percussive feel to things. Here’s another one - guitarists who have all their sounds on a ( usually massive ) pedal board, with everything done by doing a dance on the damned thing every time there’s even a slight change in sounds. Most of the time it’s variations on sounding like a wasp in a jam jar, and makes the choice of instrument almost redundant as anything they used would sound the bleeding same… Volume and tone controls on guitars are there for a reason!
  17. monad started following Musicman Stingray 4 String USA Bass Guitar Natural Colour With Hardcase £1500 ONO
  18. monad
    This is the classic Stingray and it's absolutely gorgeous! Has some marks and bumps but I am almost certain it is a 70s or 80s model. Based on the all original hardware etc. It comes with flats so you can play CHIC straight away or change to rounds for more aggressive styles. This is an amazing vintage instrument that doesn't get enough love and should go to someone else! Collection only! No trades unfortunately...
  19. danbanbass started following Fender(ish) PJ with Jazz neck for £2k max - what would you go for?

    Not affiliated with this but it’s on my watchlist, seems to tick most boxes. https://ebay.us/m/VI4bK2

    Wondered for a sec if that was an illness Found some articles on stratitis (one from over the pond) and this seems to be exactly it. Slightly raised the g-string, lowered the pickups and it's almost gone. Will see how this plays before adjusting further. Yes, you're right, this was part of the problem - magnetism! It wasn't that, these are new strings and they'd been fine on standard tuning (or at least, I hadn't noticed) but when lowering all the strings a half step the problem raised its head. A few tweaks were necessary though to get back to consistent sounds. Sorted now, thanks @ghostwheel, @Elfrasho and @jonno1981 for the tips. Learnt a new bass word too!

    Soul, neo soul, Northern Soul, Funk are my vibes. I tuned in to the programme intrigued to find out whether soul would work with a full concert orchestra. Very mixed results, in my opinion. My feelings: - Beverley Knight was by far the best singer. What a voice. - Bass was pretty high in the mix, which I hadn't expected. I quite thought it would be drowned out by a full orchestra. - Full orchestra treatment worked tolerably well with the more gospel, upbeat songs, but less so with the slower numbers. - Given that the programme was described as a "celebration of soul music", I was surprised by the dominance of the black/freedom/respect orientation. I absolutely realise the black african roots of soul music, but I was left slightly wondering what happened to white soul music. I suppose decisions had to be made about what to include and what to leave out in a 90-minute programme. - Trevor Nelson looked pretty uncomfortable as programme host. Stilted note-reading. - Overall; didn't quite do it for me.

    Me too. I’ve realised over the years that I’m a ‘live’ musician, not a ‘studio’ one. I seem to lack the concentration needed to function well in studios, and hate the hanging around and tech involved as well as being inside in such a sterile environment for hours on end. Much rather a boozer with an enthusiastic audience anyday.

    Pink Floyd "Wish you were here" springs to mind.

    I'm easy with what ever guitar or bass bands might want to play with the exception of: If I see an acoustic guitar (or worse, two) I'm not hanging around to see the band. Unless it's someone like Antonio Niebla, in which case I can be pretty sure it won't be the dreaded "singer/songwriter or (eeek!!!) folk...
  29. jonno1981 started following Oddly resonant G-string
  30. jonno1981
    I’d slacken it right down and reseat it at the nut and bridge. It might be sitting awkward or twisted. If that doesn’t fix it and you can’t live with it then you might have a string that needs replacing.
  31. monad started following Ibanez Sound gear G1395C PREMIUM 6 String Bass Guitar SDGR With Hardcase +strap Made in Ibanez premium factory Indonesia £1100 ONO
  32. monad
    A rare premium Ibanez sound gear 6 string bass guitar. Made in Indonesia. If you are looking at this, you know how good they are! this one comes with the original hardcase, a strap and the manual. I tried to take enough photos to show some bumps but the neck is perfect and playability is superb. Strung with flatwounds so no need to ever change them! Reason for selling is only because 4 strings is more than enough for me and I am doing a clear out! Collection only! No trades unfortunately...

    I was so nervous I didn't eat for 2 days before my first gig. Anyway, have a great time.

    I’d love to know how to stop nerves! I think it’s healthy and shows that the gig means something to you, if you didn’t care it would show in your attitude and playing. It’s a bit like going into an exam, you don’t know exactly how it’s going to go, but you can control how you prep for it. In this case, learn the songs, rehearse and when it comes to playing the gig try to look up and enjoy yourself!!!! The crowd will pick up if the band are having fun (it’s infectious), literally no one will notice or care if you make an occasional fluffed note.
