    If that situation occurred in a car saleroom, you'd seriously suspect it was a pressure selling tactic.

    Nah, no mockery needed, gonna go with the original plan of black, dark grey and white.

(Neck Pickup), Tone 2. (Bridge/Middle Pickup with Push/Pull Coil Select Feature) Pickups – Fender Ultra Noiseless™ Vintage Jazz Bass® What Fender say about this bass – ‘The “Deluxe Jazz Bass® V Kazuki Arai Edition,” which was produced in limited quantities in 2021 as a signature model of Kazuki Arai, bassist for King Gnu and millennium parade, has now been made into a more accessible model and added to the regular product lineup. The guitar features an original neck shape and Dinky-shaped body that the artist was particularly particular about, and the electric section is equipped with an Ultra Noiseless™ Vintage Jazz Bass® pickup and the latest preamp, inheriting the playability and sound quality of the previous model. In addition, a new feature not available in the previous model is the inclusion of a thin pickguard of approximately 1.0 mm sandwiched under the gold anodized pickguard of approximately 1.2 mm, which gives the same playing feel as a 3-ply pickguard while maintaining the same appearance.’ One of my Feedback links. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/137382-feedback-for-harry/#comment-1241408

    Think it's my first post of a gig, so here goes! Overview: I was asked to dep Friday afternoon for 2 gigs at the weekend, by a band a mate is in, but I'd never rehearsed with them. 30+ songs in the set, most were familiar too me as a listener, but I'd not played 80% of them before. Charts of a sort** were provided as PDFs. Tablets fine on stage. I'm not a fluent notation reader. Many non-original keys and arrangements. Cue, intensive learning over 24 hours. It was a very challenging couple of gigs, lots of things that could go wrong, did go wrong with songs, gear, tech, etc. Learnt again to hang in there, trust my ears, play for the band and get through it. Overall a great experience. VID20250824205002.mp4 Venue: A big bar in Skegness Band: an 8-piece Soul & Motown covers band Structure: 2 Sets of 15 songs each, plus encores. 9pm start. Pay: not enough 🤣 Gear: 5-string Jazz (Lakland Skyline JO5) wireless to my pedalboard, out to my amp (Ampeg BA-210v2) and DI to the band mixer for IEMs. ** Mostly lyrics with chords, tab or notation snippets of key riffs, a few songs only with full notation, some without any, some with a fingered key (say A), but drop Eb, so output key is really Ab so necessary to transpose on the fly, silent parts not consistently shown, key changes, etc..

    I had this, also an elbow they gave me chloripramine which did help

    Decent rehearsal tonight. Cut a bit short as drummer is waiting for an mri on a rotator cuff injury. "Did you do it drumming?" "No I fell over when I was pïssed." Six new songs went well. Also jammed Midnight Specialn which I'm not familiar with. Just listened to it, and my line wasn't that far off. My new earplugs worked excellently. Used the Sire P10. Got told I was a bit quiet. Did a lot of subtle fiddling with eq to no great effect - eventually realised I was in passive mode with two songs to go...
  15. Geek99
    What if you filled in the letters with gold or silver paint as subtle mockery of the fender logos?
  16. Geek99
    That is f***ing awesome there is a parallel universe where I would create something like that (as well as being a millionaire aristocrat with my own harem) but sadly I don’t live there
  17. Stub Mandrel
    Sounds like Nightwish with a harmonic minor scale (not a criticism).

    How tiny ? You can get 100 of these eye liner brushes from Amazon for £3.70.

    I’m the same with my U5, not a problem for me. My issue now is that I have two 30” scale basses - the U5 and a Squier Jaguar a mate has recently given me - and only really need one, but which needs to be moved on? Both have their good points, and are almost identical weight wise. Going to take them on gigs over the next few weeks to try and decide.

    We used to use passive speakers and a (heavy!) power amp. The powered Mackies are a real game-changer. Just those and a mixer with built-in echo/reverb, it's a lovely quick setup and breakdown
  24. casapete
    It’s a fairly budget system comprising two passive bins with internal crossovers linked to two 10 inch passive tops. We use a Yamaha EM512SC to power these, 2x500 watts. It all works okay, but does need upgrading. Did a gig recently where we used in house QSC powered 12 inch cabs and it sounded great. Ideally would like something to handle acoustic guitar, acoustic / electric bass as well as 2 vocal mikes, probably powered cabs like your Mackies or similar. RCF stuff gets lots of recommendations on here too, so will have to start looking.

    It was the Canon that had me drooling for an Enfield for a very long time. I ended up with a Lionheart Air which ticks all the boxes for me but if cost was not a consideration I'd have this in a heartbeat. GLWTS!

    It certainly looks the same apart from the paint.
  27. Obrienp
    I’ve been very happy with mine and I haven’t found the forearm thing too bad. There is a bit of a contour at the back edge but not enough. I have found stick on foam edging works on other basses with edge binding. The sort of stuff made to make furniture edges safe for toddlers. It would mess up the look of the Sire but might be worth a try, if you find the binding too uncomfortable.
  28. Beer of the Bass
    I must admit, I have yet to click "play" on any of this AI music. Perhaps that makes my opinion on it uninformed, but I feel that if it wasn't worth someone's time to write, play and record it, it's not worth my time and attention to listen to it.

    Probably the same concerns that arose when recordings became viable , the industry made plenty of money selling reproductions of artists performances , technically not actually real. The money and authenticity now is in the performance again.
  31. Bill Fitzmaurice
    Looks the same to me, other than the paint. If the OP's was an OEM that might explain it, as OEM very often left out cosmetic touches.
  32. Norris
    What PA are you using? Our pair of Mackie SRM-450s are fairly old technology now, but easily handle our vocals and occasional acoustic guitar, and can be picked up second hand for not many notes
