I forgot to post this here. We released a new EP recently. We aren't straight doom. Got elements of thrash, a smidge of prog and a few other bits thrown in there. All mixed by me, recorded at Joe's Garage in Bristol. https://horadoom.bandcamp.com/album/witch-trial-sessions-vol-2 We're also organising Temple of Doom again on my birthday next year. So I'll be getting merry after our set! More bands to be announced. https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/loco-klub/sat-23-may-temple-of-doom-vol-ii-140249#e140249

Loving this approach, I'm doing something similar, as in the modular approach. I have a "meat and potatoes" board for traditional bass duties... and then another x2 that patch in after this depending on the project I'm playing on.

This was my "desk" at work over the last couple of weeks. Out with a band that I'm tour managing, but we'd had to downsize the larger crew from our UK gigs for some smaller European shows, which meant I had some multitasking to do. This is my corner for guitar teching, mixing the IEMs off the iPad there, and that little Fender combo and Tele to the left was for me to jump on and play guitar for five songs because we couldn't fit the extra session guitarist in the downsized tour setup!

I've just realised it's December, on the home stretch now. Well done to all those still in.

Ah, the semi flats? Hmmm... You've got me thinking now . Ta!

Aye, when you're all paying your bills from it, it tends to encourage everyone to grow the fúck up and get on with the task at hand like professionals!

Welcome Mehu.

Hi im a new bass player from finland ive been playing for about five months i hope to connect with other bassists here

Recently joined a band (second rehearsal tomorrow) and it's looking like they might want to take on a few pub gigs to just hone the set and performance so,.. Bought a pub cheapy for the usual reasons. I picked up a Classic Vibe Jazz 5 locally. The guy had bought it 6 months previous so I wasn't expecting much with him moving it on that quickly but it still had all the plastic on it. I've also got the original packaging with his name and address on. It stands me in £175 + new strings. Wow, that neck and fret board. Frets perfectly finished, no sharp edges, love the gloss feel, in fact, it reminds me of the 5 string Elite I sold here a couple of years ago. Great sound through my Shuttle 6.0. Plays like a dream with the LaBella low tension flats on. The only down side is, it's on the heavy side but as their set list appears to be just 20 numbers, I won't be standing on a stage for 3 hours. I think these things are only about £300 or so new. Can't believe it for the money.

Im touring in a band currently supporting British Lion - not long come off stage in Manchester. I asked Steve tonight why his new signature bass was black. He explained it was actually white when he got it and immediately had it sprayed Matt Black. I’m guessing it never had the BA bridge on to start with but I’ll ask him if I get the opportunity. He’s got one with him on the tour but it’s unlikely he’ll use it as it’s strung with rounds but I might get the chance to have a go!

This 74 was less than half the price of a 66 in similar condition. And with a Jazz width neck weighing in at just over 8.5 lb. Grateful for the guys at Promenade Music
