Is that an artificial plant or does it get watered elsewhere 🤔 😁

My speaker cabinets of choice are Acme B2 three way 2x10. They are a bit inefficient so require a lot of power for them to sing at their best. I se a 2KW capable Class D power amp but, loving tubes, I designed and built a two channel full tube pre-amp to drive it. Together they sound wonderful!

it's all Greek to me

You get good points for scale but lose out on the rest….

Doing that BOC transcription reminded me that I have never tried this. A ten-minute transcription of Kasim Sulton's bass part for the track, 'Bat Out Of Hell' from the 1977 Meatloaf album of the same name. Sometimes, the motivation to try transcribing something is because it is there! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/bat-out-of-hell-meatloaf/

Yes

I'll bookmark that site for future use.

Does anyone use one on bass - I never have!

As said many times before: alcohol earliest after the gig. You are there for them. Give the best out of you, not the worst. Do not change anything that may change itself a day before the gig like strings. You can change a battery a week or two before. Then you can be sure that it works flawlessly. A new battery may be bad, seen this a couple of times. A quality cable is a must. A spare one is needed by a g-word player - sooner or later. And as said earlier: have fun. Everybody sees your feeling, and feels it in your music. If you go and see professionals, they can create a good sounding feeling no matter what. Do not care about tiny failures, they feel big only at the stage. Go forward, and do it boldly! P. S. Buy a quickly adjustable metronome to your drummer, and let him write tempos to the set list. You will love your drummer from that on. For example Tama RW30 can be quickly set. It is an investment, not a cost to you, believe me.

Was it one of these @Gasman? I'm guessing if you were that local to me it might've been an old band mate's company All The Kit. I've never had the pleasure of playing under the half 'igloo'.

A very dear friend of mine has this music. He plays every instrument you hear on this record as he does on others..

Would it, though?

Some great advice in this thread! I'll add mine - have a tactical pee before each set.

Drove down to meet @GisserD (Darren) today and buy his spare Sire V7 bare wood body. Had a nice chat with him about bass building and car paint colours and he put up with me waffling even though he was suffering a bit from the night before! Great seller and all as described. Deal with confidence! All the best, Stew (Huge Hands)

I can only say: ENJOY!!
