The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
scrumpymike replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Interesting to see and hear The Kooks' bass player putting some neat bass-lines down with a Hofner Club on Jools Holland's Hootenanny last night/this morning. -
Thank you all, that's useful input. I did suspect the PJB was more about refinement than brute power. Sounds like I might need to focus on a cheaper "small" amp - the D4 was a bit of a stretch price-wise, but if it could have done both jobs I'd have been very tempted. Anyway, the last thing I need is a gateway to another avenue of musical expenditure. I'm perfectly capable of finding them on my own!

Installing two band active preamp and generic P bass
tauzero replied to BubbasnEvilGenius's topic in Repairs and Technical
Sounds like the blend also had some sort of buffer circuit on it. What @itu says is exactly what I'd advise assuming that the volume comes before the preamp - if not then connect the pickup to the lead into the preamp that the blend was connected to. -

Agreed, you really have to make the best of it. All bands are going to be faced with a gig that goes south sooner or later. Just don't carry around a lot of guilt over it. It's usually not the bands fault Daryl
-
Exactly. Always a good crowd at open-mic nights.

The ZZ Top song or the Motorhead EP? 😂

Yes I’m impressed with the build quality. It’s nice hunk of maple - perhaps they were a bit more selective on woods for the anniversary series.
-
I don't notice any drug activity within the band, however I do get concerned with the amount of alcohol consumed. Daryl

Hope the old problem clears up quickly...

Good lord. Is this still here? It’s feckin gorgeous -
What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...
ASW replied to kwmlondon's topic in General Discussion
I've not read all of the posts, but the vast majority of them seem to be about things people do not like rather than prejudices. The definition of a prejudice is "opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience." Here's mine. Bass players have poor reading comprehension ...🫣 -
Dave, I think this was our 4th year playing The Precinct on New Year's Eve. I think the owner is a cousin of our band leader. Another nice touch, the chef prepared meals for the band after the show. Daryl

Looking at the JO5, it hasn't got a separate battery compartment so it means removing the control plate to change the battery. @kiat, what batteries are you using, and where do you get them from? And how many hours of playing do you get out of them?

Like the other posters, I hope things take a turn for the better very soon. GLWTS. -
I’ve found that it’s the so called “normal” people who when they take stuff like coke that then become a-holes, punks/skins/bikers/metallers, whatever they’ve been taking whenever I’ve been around I’ve never seen anything like that. Even the hardened football hooligans on the punk scene seem to be able to keep themselves in line when drunk/drugged.

Nice! Where you based?

Well, there’ll be a cuppa, bass natter and mebbe some biscuits awaiting when you do! -
Altho i come from a background of rock music, bands and bikes i've never really found myself around people that take drugs so i never really know how they react especially coke. My friends were more beer drinkers than hell raisers. (see who gets that 😎) Dave

I'm ruining a clean sheet. . . picking up 2 cabs tomorrow. . . . and looking at a couple of basses next week!
-
They only seem to sell roland items, and their vat number is real, so probably real, even if it is a private house. Maybe they just get demo stuff
-
On to the next gig and don't look back. Very unusual for a New Years Eve gig to sink. Nice basses. Happy New Year Marksbunney Daryl
-
That sounds very positive! Nice - and very good of you to share it with the staff
-
I like that. Giving some of the tips to the bar staff is a very nice touch. Towards the end of our gigs we always thank the venue, organiser, bar staff and of course the audience for spending their hard earned cash to buy tickets for the show. Dave
