Well, a CQ20b is on its way to me having popped up at a very decent price, complete with case. Entering the digital age! So I need something like an iPad to run it. Anyone got any recommendations or advice? Main concern is long term reliability and stability. I might explore using it for other music things but I don't want to splash another grand on an iPad pro especially if the bog standard one looks to have a good lifespan

Why are venue house bass amps always such utter sh#te?
Lozz196 replied to Paddy Morris's topic in Amps and Cabs
I agree, for some reason us bassists - and drummers to a certain extent - seem to end up with the “can’t you just use that and make life easy” situations. In times like these a Sansamp or equivalent is our friend, might not be a great onstage sound through whatever pony rig we end up with but at least out front get a decent one. -
Fender blacktop jazz bass. Only played a few times, excellent condition. Includes original fender hard case. Made in Mexico, 2013 model. Champagne/pearl colour. I have swapped the pick guard for the purple tortoise shell. Original black pick guard comes with sale. A few of the pick guard screws have some rust on. All specs can be seen in the last few pictures. Sad to get rid of it but I am no longer the bassist in a band so have little use for it. Sounds incredible, the dual split coil pick ups give an amazing tone. Any questions feel free to ask.-

I’m trying to learn Jolene and “the other bit of the chain”. I tried the latter on a “wing it basis” and “smashed it” according to the OM hostess but I didn’t get it right enough for my satisfaction (root notes and the occasional slide” was my winging it attempt)

I'd certainly advise against moving the bridge off it's F hole notches. That's the instruments datumn line (it'll change the balance, bowing geometry, top pressure interaction with the post and bass bar) Fitting a nut to reduce scale is relatively common on old English and large German instruments (it's called in the trade as "an English Nut"), it's quick and not an expensive job. Many early 3 string basses had huge 44" / 45" string scales, an English nut was often fitted to bring it back to 42" standard. Looks a bit weird and you'll have to recalibrate not to miss half position. But it's the better of the two options. Myself, I'm happy switching between a D neck and an Eb neck. Back when many basses were being made there was no such thing as a "standard" neck. Luthiers just made basses with whatever wood was available.

We do a Sweet version of "Let It Snow" in the first set and then Mud, Slade and Wizard in 2nd set with Wizard being last song of the set altho our encore is a lengthened version of Shang a Lang including excerpts from various Scottish themed songs. Bit of a Medoly and it always goes down a treat up here. Dave

Agreed, also listen to Trash on Manifesto, bass as rhythmic engine

Yes, I've done two Christmas party gigs so far and we've had no requests for festive songs. We played four on Friday (Wizzard, Mariah Carey, Bruce's 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and Shakin' Stevens) and they were the least well received. We played none last night and they weren't missed.

Selling my Tele bass, in all used it for no more than 10 minutes after buying it. Its in mint condition cannot see a mark on it, has all protective plastic on pick guard and tuners still attached, comes with original gig bag and the bag candy too. Purchased to try and trigger a push back into playing again earlier in the year but it didn't hit the spot for me, just didn't get on with the slab body. Selling it as I am picking up my Nate more and more, would like this to fund a LB30 2.n. I am based in Ipswich for those wishing to collect, if not happy to send at buyer’s expense. I am heading to Derby on Saturday so can meet up on that route if it helps.

Three Bass and one Cajon (not at same time!) nativity service this morning, albeit we were also practicing afterwards for next week's carol service and I needed the 5er for that!

Make sure he hears you clearly or he might take a snap of Scotch and then the rhythm could be all over the place! 🤣

Bought this from @woolf earlier this year and it is a superb bass - but with the arrival of a wee mini Bass Apprentice. I can't see me having the time to justify three 4 string basses in the house! So it's up for sale. Borrowing the previous ad (and a picture!) until I get some pictures - but the bass has been hung on the wall next to me since I bought it so it hasn't changed at all. Any questions fire away! Will source packing materials if necessary and can discuss postage costs.-

I was pressured into playing through yet another utterly rubbish venue bass amp last night. It was one of those gigs where loads of bands had been on, and all the other bass players had (probably reluctantly) all used the same knackered, low end Ashdown rig. No offense to Ashdown users, they make some great kit, but this thing was an old, underpowered, thin thing. It seemed to have a compressor button that didn't actually switch the compressor off, and seemed to pull off the trick of being simultaneously too loud but also inaudible. The FoH guy had pre-rigged it with his DI box, and it was a small stage. I felt like it would have made me look like a real dick to insist on using my own amp, which I could have got on and off the stage in less thsn 30 seconds. But can you imagine a situation where a guitarist would allow himself to be coerced into using some knackered old amp that happend to be on stage? There's no way on earth. Also, if for logistical reasons of getting bands on and off quickly, you want everyone to use the same bass amp, well why not buy something so lovely and so flexible that no one could possibly mind using it. But house bass amps universally seem to be sourced from skips outside the local Cash Converters.

We generally just do Slade and Mud. We have done Womblin…in the past but it was a fair bit of work for little audience reaction.

The Positive Grid. I don't use the others since getting that.

Yes, they're astonishing basses. Here's mine next to it's older cousin! The only thing i dislike is the actual finish. Might be different with the other colours but onthe black one any finger or sweat marks shows up - always looks a bit mingin in photos!
