Top bloke. - what @walshy just said. More than happy to help. 😘 -
I'm sure this has been covered many times but I can't find a relevant thread. I've never had anything to do with payment side regarding gigs, the band leader has always sorted it. In a new band and there isn't a band leader as such so we're a bit in the dark on some things. We've got a gig coming up where the pub pays by bank transfer (on the day). This seems to be the way a lot of pubs etc are going. If it's a regular payment method for the places we're going to be playing, what's a good way of organising it for a band? To be honest I wouldn't want regular transfers going into my account and the 3 transfers going out... Cheers -
It's as good as the Strandberg I used to have, without the stupid neck. -

I get that. I suppose it’s because the only fretless basses I’ve had have had no dots or lines. If I try and look at the double bass neck when shifting it can put it all out of whack causing intonation issues. (To be fair, it sounds awful whatever I do.)

I've never heard this said before about Sadowskys 🤔 Interestingly I've had passive Fender Jazz basses that disappeared into the mix with both pickups on full.

A good comparison: the Markbass CMD 121P is a very good benchmark in my view
-
Amp placement is also a factor. Having it projecting at the back of the instrument can be an issue. Not always, but can. If you stand to the side of it, that might alleviate immediate problems.

Let me know what you think Andy Cheers & Later J-P -
Doesn't the original have brass? To be honest, I can't be bothered to bring a brass section into the pub for a single song. So the bass and guitar will have to have a different arrangement to cover that song. Black Crowes arrangement, Otis Reding, Committments, or our arrangement. Most people are just listening to the singer. -
The book? Of course. Send me your address.

Be aware that most distortion / fuzz type pedals, and chorus, and random others, return a signal that is 180 degrees, or some other random amount, off from the original signal. This has no effect on a series fx loop but when you are blending an effected signal with clean you can get an unpleasant mishmash.

Inspired by both new and old, the AfterLife has FOUR different internal analog circuits that provide 2 distortions and 2 fuzzes. Providing plenty of headroom and a ton of gain, these four selections will cover all the distorted ground you’ve got. While the outside boasts a lone Mode selection knob and a Volume control, there’s more under the hood to this one. Internal adjustable trimpots are available for all four modes, with parameters like overall Volume, Bias, Gain and Filter. The enclosure is 100% Solid Aircraft Aluminum Machined. The artwork on the front and back is laser-engraved, and each AfterLife pedal is 100% hand-wired and hand-built. Collect from Chesterfield or add £5 for UK postage. Cheers! Sam -
I recall a similar major/minor line issue at a Stone Roses tribute many years ago. The bassist in question constantly played one passing note of the chorus of She Bangs The Drums one fret from where it should have been. Most people didn't notice but, to me, it came across as half-arsed. If you're charging money, and it's as hard to get it wrong as it is to get it right, it's just laziness not to get it right, regardless of whether anyone but you notices or not. -

Thank you guys. -
My first foray into modding a bass which I have dubbed “The Paiste Bass “ due to an old Paiste sticker on the rear.. This is an old plywood body that had been rough painted by the previous owner. It had Warlock shaped horns which I have taken off and rounded into a more traditional shape.I have sanded back the paint, oil finished the bare wood and then clearcoated with gloss nitrocellulose. It features a new gloss maple Chinese neck which I have rolled the fretboard edges dressed the frets so they have lovely smooth fret ends. The decal is blended in.with. Polyurethane clearcoat. I can guarantee that there is not another bass in existence like this one. You can see from the photos, which form part of the description, that it has a heavy relic vibe. The action and sound are lovely and it plays far above its price point. It was not created to look perfect but to be a no-nonsense gigging beast that performs brilliantly without the worry of it getting knocked, dinked or dented. I have tried to make it something that really works for the gigging player. It is truly more than the sum of its parts. As I built this bass, I can bore you in great detail with its journey along with photos as well . SPECS: Bass weight 8.7lbs Wilkinson PJ pickups Wilkinson Bridge Bloodstone Guitars upgraded PJ electronics - volume/volume/tone Nitro gloss finish on body Gloss poly Maple neck No fret wear as neck is new Truss rod fully working Schaller type strap buttons D’Addario EXL165 strings 0.45 - 0.105 Fully set up and intonated ready to go Again, this bass plays like an absolute dream and I would be happy to keep it in my collection and to gig with it. The bass comes with a new 10mm padded Donner gig bag. Any questions or queries, please message me and I can send more photos as well if you wish. Collection from Fleet, Hampshire and you are welcome to give it a trial play on collection to ensure that it all works and you are happy. I am absolutely open to sensible offers.

I personally think a fender gets through the mix better for me. The sadowsky has amazing tone but it disappears a bit in the mix, when the fender just sits in a beautiful space. I should say that my fender is actually a Moollon and it has a very warm and rich tone to it. I just played on a dance track with both and the Moollon won. Sat on top of the kick as was super clear to hear in the mix. Active basses sometimes have that compressed sound that can be amazing for slapping but can work against when playing finger style. Sadowsky moreso because the mids are more scooped. Not that they won’t work or anything, but it matter what you are looking for.
