I'm not sure about any other genre but in the jazz world there are more bass solos than one could ever need. I even use the bow for some and yet the solos keep happening.
-
It's not something I've ever been interested in, somehow.
-
Given that this is BassChat there probably should have been an option for "I used to own a fretless bass but I don't any more".

I finally have a buyer and we are meeting in Plymouth next week to hopefully conclude the deal. This gives me a chance to once again ride the GWR main line from Truro to Plymouth over Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge. Hopefully Win, Win. -
A fantastic compressor with plenty of tonal variety using 3 styles of compression with their own respective ratios. The SSL Bus compressor, FET 1176 and Darkglass's own Super Symmetry.

In fantastic condition, including box, manuals, rubber feet etc. Specifications: Hybrid Analog/Digital Compression Pure Analog signal path Blend control 3 built in yet distinct modes of advanced modelled compression Connect to your PC/Mac via Micro-USB (B) Free ‘Darkglass Suite’ software (provides additional fine control and compression models) 10-LED gain reduction meter Touch-Through metal sensors Internal doubling of supply voltage to 18V (allows for extra headroom) I/O: 6.5mm / ¼” Jack Input impedance: 1M Ohm Output impedance: 1k Ohm (9V DC, centre -, 2.1mm, ~250mA current draw) -
First Bass: 1981 Musicman Stingray Taken as payment for a job I did for a guy that I would end up playing with for a good few years. Ebony fingerboard Fretless that came with a Custom Fretted Neck and Series/Parallel switch added by previous owner. ’Go To’ Bass: 1981 Musicman Stingray Just recently bought a Squier CV Jazz as a project and to have a back-up and after some upgrades and a good set-up and enjoying playing but the Stingray is still number one, even though it is insanely heavy! ‘My’ bass: 1981 Musicman Stingray

When I posted about my 4003HW in a new bass day thread, there were many comments about the clank. How do you Rick users get your clank. Both pickups, volume rolled back on one of them? I'm curious, I like my bass, it sounds good but I've never really been a 2 pickup player. Always a P bass you see TIA for your top tips

...and a lovely thing it was too... I thought this would have sold quickly...money must be tight all round.

2 extra things: 1: Ear Plugs. ACS off the shelf ones will do to start with. They will knock the volume down while keeping the EQ roughly flat. No more foam rubber things making it feel like you are on a submarine. Wear them all night. You won't get a post gig volume headache and you'll save your ears. Then in due time get some ACS custom moulded ones that will be even better. 2: Make sure you tell everyone on here when your first gig is. If you get one of the experienced regulars coming to the show then if something does go tits up then you've got someone in the audience ready to help. Unless it's a singer problem, obviously. Nothing can help them. Sad.

What do you do when your music career is over?

It might not have been the intention of your post, but it comes across to me as being really sad that you appear to have let the expectations of society stomp all over any dreams you might have had. -
"Always on" version of the famous Boss tuner pedal. Takes up less space on your pedalboard. Pretty much mint condition. Price includes postage. -
As they have round cores I would say there's a bit mellower than the D'Ads. Watch this video, from 1:56 to 2:42 and then again from 6:49 to 7:35, which might help. -
Price drop to £275 -
I picked this up from @Basilpea not that long ago. It's a great cab, but it isn't a cosmetic match to my other AT210, so being the fickle person I am I want to replace this... It's got some small dents from being gigged, but overall in good condition and absurdly light. You can pick it up with two fingers! It's also very loud. W52 x D33,5 x H57 cm 600 watts at 4 ohms 103dB SPL Also comes with GR Bass soft padded cover. GR say: The lightest 2×10 bass cabinet in the world. Thanks to its size, lightness, and power, the AT 210 is one of the most versatile cabinets in the entire catalog. Suitable for both small and large live shows, it allows you to always have your sound with you. With the AeroTech line, you can have the incredible innovation of our Carbon Fibre cabinets combined with the Pure Sound of GR, which is the pure sound of your instrument. Incredible sound, lightweight, power, impact resistance, and a beautiful modern design. I'm afraid this is collection only, as I don't have anything suitable to ship it in. No trades either thanks. I'm using @Basilpea's pictures, which I hope he's okay with.-

This amp is now £400 on Amazon. Incredible. I will drop the price for the amp, adapter, pedalboard and case to £500, which is still a good deal I think, but I really cannot go any lower. If it doesn't sell at this price I will just keep it as a spare.

Always a huge treat to be playing at the London 10k and we couldn't believe our luck with the change of location we found ourselves moved to for this one! We had a late one at a function gig the night before so an early morning start to arrive to set up at 8pm meant just 4 hours sleep, but it was one of those gigs that the adrenaline gets you through! In some ways our own mini marathon - playing for two hours solid with no break, but we all loved it. A memorable moment for me right at the close was when a local London lady, who had an ice cream van set up behind us, thanked us all for providing the music and offered us each a free ice-cream! A little clip from the race: LA Mixtrax - London 10k

First Bass Owned: Hohner jazz copy ~1985, pre-arbor series. 'Go To' Bass: Flea Jazz. The one I use if I need to be in my comfort zone. 'Your bass': I don’t use it much nowadays, but the best sounding bass I have has always been my Hohner B2.

Well, I didn't take the photos. That's guitarists for you. The monitors are Alto TS408s, which have the mains leads and XLR leads coming out of the back. When the audience are literally inches from you, them treading on a mains lead and pulling it out is always a possibility. And although the room on Saturday was comparatively massive, the enthusiastic dancers and sing-alongers got as close to us as possible.

GOT ONE!! You get a lot of bass for not a lot of pennies... Remember that Leo said that these were some of the best basses he'd ever built...he knew what he was doing...who are we to argue!!?? GLWTS -
The Q4.
-
Q4 has an EMG BTS circuit which is nice. As long as the condition is good/neck is straight etc I'd go with the Q4 and then possibly upgrade the EMG Hz pickups to full EMG soapbar P & J pickups to get closer to the classic Spector tone.
