I Don't Care - Icona Pop featuring Charli XCX

Well, I pulled the trigger on one of these and it arrived yesterday. Love it and it fits the Jabba perfectly. You can actually adjust it to accommodate an even longer bass if you want. Really well made and chunky. That accessory bag is really useful. The only thing that doesn't appeal to me is the velvet lining. It looks sexy but I just cannot bear the stuff for some reason. Highly recommended folks 👌

I bought a Zoom B2-4 from Matt. Immaculate condition with all the accessories and manual. Great communication throughout, very well packed with seemingly miles of bubble wrap. Deal with confidence, a BC good egg.

Interesting Al it's very close to what I am aiming for at the moment.There's a really strong colour wash on the stage. If you look at the steps at the front there is a strong shadow so you can work out that the lights are in front of and above the stage shining down. One red one blue,and both floods rather than spots. Pretty powerful too from the general colour cast. there are fills up by the mics and an uplighter on the banner at the back plus something behind the drummer lighting up that cornere where the bass amp is. All the 'action' is on the T-bat behind the kit. Looks like four scanners and possobly a laser/strobe combination. Then four chasers mounted upright whcih look like the 24 segment bars you've ordered from Ali Express set to one of the chases. They've also got a couple of decent sized PAR's below the bar. It's doung some heavy lifting! This is a decent sized stage which opens up the possibilities. I'm still playing the pubs where this sort of set up would have to be smaller for space reasons, so what I'm trying to do is this sort of thing but modular, so this would be my full set up. For the red/blue stage wash I'm currently using a couple of the light bars like yours but mounted vertically on stands so the tops of the lights are at head height. I've dug out my 200W floods though, which have a 40deg angle and when I get space I want to try them to get a more intense colour wash. They are about 6-10 times brighter than your 24 light strips so significant lamps you cant really use in small spaces. BTW I bought a couple of the 24way bars. I''m going to try them as uplighter/colour washes at the side of the stage on the slow fade and as static colour to see what works best. So at the moment it's bars for the small stages and the big floods if we get to play somewhere nice and spacious. For mid stage I've got up to six of the generic strips they are using, the refinement I've added are the stands which raise them to head height. The guitarist brought them from his band and I bought them off him when he left. The height makes them more visible on a crowded stage. I'm really interested in the T bar those guys have at the back behind the drummer. It looks to be nearly the width of the drum kit with five fairly bulky lamps mounted. I've looked at building a square arch behind our drums and ordered one from G4M it was damaged and not as described so I returned it but as well as weighing 10kg more than the one I ordered it was too big for the job. I've been toying with the idea of T bars there but the widest are 1.2m. I'm currently using a 4-way PAR bar in that position. Two lighting stands either side of the drummer would let me hang the banner cutting down on the frame for that so I'm looking for a hardware option that would be quick to set up. I should have gone for a banner like theirs. This is all a pretty big investment and of time as well as money. Hopefully I can sell off some of the stuff I don't use once I've settled on a system.

These are very very good, however: I tested two of these for De Bassist (bass magazine) and the difference between the Ibanez pickups and the Nordstrand alternative is significant. I'd definitely invest in a set of better pickups if you go for this one. Otherwise: excellent bass.

Given the weather up here, we might come along so long as it's indoors...

Interesting! I tried an older Status at Bass Bros a few months back....I was actually shocked how heavy it was. It also played like 💩. Not my cup of tea. However I'd really like to try one of those ibanez headless jobbies. I would look seriously uncool playing it I reckon though.

The inlays of 734 and BP34 are actually growing on me tbh

I think they are using Aion’s PCBs for at least some of their stuff

Hello everyone! I'm Charles from Como (Italy). I've been playing for almost 30 years. Very glad to be here! See ya

For the money, Broncos are great. In the event she changes her mind you haven't shelled out too much. On the other hand, if you get the Squier CV and she gives up you've got yourself a pretty nice new bass!

I think the problem is that IEMs don't need as much distortion due to their frequency response - amp/cab pairings will inevitably cut some of the top end which will allow more dirt due to the bass not sounding as 'fizzy'.

Rig for my final scheduled gig of 2025 last night. I thought I'd break out the Christmas lights since it's that time of the year. Cab( Silverstone II) and pedals same as usual, AH250 SMX for the first set, and a Series 6 GP12 for the second set. Bass on the night was my 90s USA Standard P-Bass. All sounded rather splendid together. Merry Christmas rig posters and Basschatters

DOD FX25, DOD FX25B, Q-Tron (big box) Q-Tron Mini, Q-Tron Nano, Q-tron +, Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk (a close second, but mostly because is sooooo much smaller), and a couple of Donner micro pedals (a purple one and a white one). All of them did what I needed them to, but the meatball is just incredibly flexible; I can set it for any sound from any bass.

I'm really struggling to get an overdrive pedal that works with IEMs. I think it's because the sound through them is so clear that is the issue. I've only tried a few but I don't want to have to go and spend a fortune on them to get one that works. I just want mild overdrive but what I get is a ton of extra bass with it or a cheap, boxy sound. I know that 500 members could advise 500 different pedals to use if I still used backline but if I could get a list together of the ones that people are using specifically with IEMs then I could start looking more at these.

Ok, I have two. A rather nice Rob Allen MB-2 and a lovely PJ which I aquired from @Beedster earlier this year. Oh and a DB, that's enough for now 😉.
