He has a Trace 1200. With great power comes great responsibility. That amp and the single cab could cause structural damage.

I saw them there on the Moving Pictures tour; I was near the front.

I know this point has been raised many times on Basschat, but I simply can't get away from the fact that ticket prices have become grotesquely over-priced. I wouldn't pay these prices to watch anything or anybody I paid £4.50 to go see Rush in 1980. That's the equivalent to £19.50 today. I've heard all the arguments about increased touring costs ect and I'm not at all convinced. Every age is expensive to those living in it. I'm sure the same argument was trotted out to justify £4.50 in 1980. What makes tickets so expensive is the profit. The rest is a smoke-screen. Concerts and tours have become an industry where lots of different businesses, not just the band and their record company, are expecting to make money from. Ultimately that money only comes from one source, the punters who buy the tickets and merchandise. Like with football, there will never be a reset until people stop buying the tickets and merchandise and turn their back on the whole thing. That won't happen and so on it goes,

Brill.

Mike bought some strings from me in what can only be described as a perfect transaction. Great communications, prompt payment and he kindly let me know when they arrived. Thanks again Mike!

Ah OK. I didn’t know there was a difference. I’ve made a call to an old mate, so hopefully go have a look next week. Check it out.

This is so wrong Martin. The correct course of action is to get a much more powerful amp and a 2nd Barefaced Super Twin and casually ask the rest of the band "how they like them apples?"

Tried the Timmy pedal. With no dirt it's transparent and doesn't filter the bass. As soon as you bring the gain up the bass disappears. Which made me think, another solution would be to use a crossover and only distort the treble, so I'm going to try that.

I suspect we've all come to much the same.......

Nice bass, but then I would say that given that I’ve one of its maple-boarded cousins! Out of the many basses I’ve had over the years my TT SL is pretty much the only one that has received compliments on the sound from every band I’ve played it with.

Yep, glad you’ve finally got it

I don't know if this helps, but technically brown is orange. I have seen this bass in the wild and it seemed like a very typical brown, in a normal orange way. Fun fact: purple only exists in your mind, it isn't a wavelength of light.

I’ve had both the Fishman and the EBS and the Stanley Clarke box beats it hands down. It’s optimists for bass, intuitive to use and provides phantom power (which I need for my Nadine).
