A few relatively straightforward classics to get down ready for a rehearsal on Tuesday. Knock on Wood - Duck Dunn's simple figure using the sixth where most people would use the seventh or octave is sublime 🙂

I used one of These when I had the KK Baby Bass five string

Lots of good advice posted above, Construction is key. so go try loads of secondhand high end basses, as suggested Bass Direct near Warwick should be on your list and Bass Bros are not far away so worth a trip in that direction. I did use one of these Aphex below, a suggestion if you get the choice wrong. I don't need now i have the right basses and cabs. But I'm have found a 1/4 sawn maple neck with swamp ash body the way to go, a light resonant bass is the start point. I am happy with my 5 string but is a very good Marleaux. I bought on here second hand about 15 years ago. and as a pointer I have recently bought a Sadowsky 4 string with the best sounding bottom octave E - E I have ever heard. Which makes me wonder what their 5 string are like. It is Ash and chambered. Good luck try everything.

Help with restoring my Peavey TL-5 Tim Landers to original condition
JPJ replied to rmpn1985's topic in Repairs and Technical
I’m afraid I can’t help with the restoration, but it’s a bloody lovely looking bit of 80’s bass you’ve got there 😍 -
A good few years ago I joined a scratch band, and because no one really knew each other we exchanged emails as a means of passing around song ideas set lists etc, the drummer gave us his work email, but a later told us to stop sending him emails as his work didn't like it. Transpires he worked for a bank and they ended up firing him (so he says) for all these emails he was getting with dodgy attachments (mp3 files ie songs) He then ranted at all of us for losing him his job and demanded that we started getting at least 4 gigs a week because he was jobless and it was our fault. Given we were playing about 2 gigs a month at that point and happy with that we kindly asked him to move along.....eejit!

Spectors have a lot of their own personality, not surprised it sounded right despite the (slightly) different amp.
-
Thanks - I agree it’s truly a great playable jazz bass -
I'm heading to the Peak District in September so could take it should anyone that way be interested. Cheers. -
Yesterday I tuned my Euro LX4 down to C with a set of .110 - .55 strings. Played in to Reaper through my Two Notes Revolt on the Marshall (dirt) channel its sounding really very close to Rex Brown's tone in the last two Pantera records. It sounds awesome. I was surprised by this considering Rex used Ampegs and Ive not got a Haz preamp yet

...in another band we went through two or three members after fall-outs due entirely to arguments in the car park after load out. I think it was just a case of everyone being a bit tired (and sometimes alcohol was involved). Decided that for the long term good of the band we wouldn't speak to each other during load out - just pack everything and go! Sadly COVID did for that band in the end as we got out of the habit of playing together and then people moved on to different projects.

I really liked the neck on a 66 P bass in refin sonic blue at Andy Baxter’s, unfortunately he wouldn’t budge on price at all as he had another person online interested whilst I was there in person trying it. I wasn’t after masses off but everyone likes a deal don’t they? Maybe thats just me. Sad to say I didn’t buy it as I was about £100 off what he was asking and that was as much as I could offer. Lovely old thing though.

Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)
SimonK replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
If anyone is in Canterbury this seems a bargain. I'd absolutely get it for the head alone if I was closer, and also not tripping over nine cabs as it is! -
If you want fuzz this will give it to you in spades. A few marks and some velcro on the back but otherwise it's in good condition. I'm having a clearout at the moment as I haven't been in a band for a few years now, otherwise I'd be keeping it. I'm afraid I can't find the box but it will be packed well when posted.-

Not last night, but last week. We played a garden party at the drummers house/garden, all fairly relaxed, and so I took the little Behringer analogue mixer. WE took great care in speaker and mic placement and for once had bags of headroom before feedback. Monitors nice and loud for lead vocals and although I could not really here the BVs well, I was not bothered, it was a bit of fun. We had a quick listen to the FoH vocals without the band usually, and it seemed OK. We usually wander out front during soundcheck, but not this time it was for fun... First set went down well, but the sound was described as "sizzley". I listened to the speakers with no signal and there was a pronounced hiss. Not too bad, I thought, so I carried on and set up a camera to record the second set. All was well, lots of nice comments. When I played back the video yesterday, I realised that the gain on the Guitarist's mic was up way too high and because the monitor mix was wrong, we did not realise that he was clipping badly. That was the sizzle reported. Another lesson learnt, thankfully not on a paid gig.

What can you say about this combination...... its industry standard.... tried and tested and used by so many pros. Amp and cab in good condition and working order. Covers and leads inc. Collection only, alas due to size and weight. I also have a second SL112 cab if yo are interested. Full rig would be 1395.00. Not prepared to sell amp separately at this point. -
Any thoughts on this ridiculously cheap Darkglass clone?
-
There's no wrong answer from the replies already given. Buy the one that is so appealing to you that once you have it at home you won't be able to walk past it without picking it up and having a play.
