Just be careful you don't miss out the "L" when discussing them...

Off to see “Cloudbusting” Kate Bush tribute at the Tramshed in Cardiff on Thursday. Looking forward to it. Then the Rock Orkestra the following week also in Cardiff.

I had a 4 string built a few years ago, before I managed to track down an affordable 4003. Still have it. The woodwork was spot on, the electrics were a bit meh. I keep meaning to upgrade them, but just never get around to it. Maybe one day.

So I assume you don’t gig in pubs or small venues where a full PA rig would be unnecessary in these cases ? We would mostly be playing in pubs and clubs without stages so the old ways still work for us. PA is purely for vocals and a little bit of guitar and kick drum

@BassBags I’ve ordered some strings!

My band are hardly a big set up. The typical venue size we play is around 100 capacity. Since we ditched backline completely last year our sound on stage and FoH has been more consistent and better.

Sharp Dressed Man - ZZ Top

Ah shame, yeah I did think it was pretty ambitious given the parameter depth/breadth! I remember the 90s S&S synths (eg Korg, Alesis) were really well designed for this - but even they relied on 2x16 LCDs to navigate the menus. Incidentally I have had trouble with the super-cheap midi interface I bought, not sure if it's user error, my computer or the interface itself, but I'm going to order something like the Behringer Go to see if it resolves itself. I've managed to load the odd patch but manual editing seems inconsistent and I wouldn't trust it to update firmware.

That’s an interesting concept, never seen a fretless Thunderbird before. -
Really is a lovely jazz this. -
Reduced to £250. Bargain for a gorgeous lovely sounding active jazz.

Looks great!

Pleasure. Stick and sub systems can be very good, but as is always the case, the ones that deliver the goods aren't cheap. The NXL24s go down to 65 hz (on paper, at least), so shouldn't need a lot of low end reinforcement. If you do go for them, I's start with one sub. The RCF 905 is guaranteed to work with them and you can always add another in the future if you need to. However, I'd be surprised if you do. Modern subs are so much better - more efficient, cleaner and louder - than the old boom boxes. You don't need stereo subs. Very low frequencies are omni-directional and a single sub can be placed optimally more easily than two.

Fancy Sauce - Green Day

Sadly full patch editing (my personal preference) has been nixed due to being too hard to fully implement the Flexi controllers with the limited panel display. 😔 I’m gutted as I spent quite a long time fleshing out detailed interface ideas for this. Patch organisation is already in and working though.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

Funny, quite the opposite for me. 38mm much preferred but we are all different. -
I had one built for me last year. It looked and sounded spot on but there were a few issues which meant I didn't keep it for long. Maybe I was unlucky, they certainly have a loyal following, but despite being clearly skilled at what they do I can't help feeling they rush the builds to keep up with demand. Happy to discuss more by PM.

The new bassist in my old band is using a Tech21 Para Driver in front of his Markbass amp & 210 cab to get the signature Knock Off sound. Combined with his MIM Precision loaded with EMG GZR pickups it sounds great.

Hard to see but they are deep brown.

Not had this very long but unfortunately needing to move it along to pay for other things! It’s a rather rare pedal so if you are unfamiliar with it here’s a good video on it! -
Christmas Gravy Boat - Brian Pern

My local club is the one venue where almost every band praises the sound. It is rectangular with all dimensions very different. The ceiling steps down at the far end, but is all suspended tiles that absorb sound well. This mesms there are no strong resonances. One side has several windows, but with curtains. Curtains across the patio-style door behind the band. The ends of (normally hidden) skittle runs each side create modest sound traps behind the band. The suspended floor gas heavyweight vinyl that seems to stop any booming. It sounds fairly dead with no noticeable reverb. Asudd from the curtains, none of this was deliberate, just a happy chance.

Screws and washers have now been added from my other donor Sunn Mustang bass.
