    I'd never heard of the 3 bassists pictured and don't recall being particularly taken by any New Order/Joy Division basslines, though I'm sure they do a great job if you're into that sort of thing. Mick Karn is another one who I don't actually know who he is/was. Having just looked him up I don't know of anyone in real life who listened to Japan. But again I'm sure he was great. What I think this illustrates nicely is how much we all live in our own tiny little bubbles as to what was 'important' or 'influential' back in the day (or indeed now). And the music critic part of the modern media seem to exist in an even tinier bubble - see various critics/radio DJs (men) of a certain age (gen X) who all fawn over particular (punk/new wave) bands from their youth as though they were incredibly important in the entire history of Western music despite a very limited output for a very short time that anyone outside of their very narrow age bracket (or different racial background) would barely recognise much less care about. Could be wrong but I don't think anyone has mentioned Robbie Shakespeare, for example. Or Leon Sylvers, Aston Barrett, Oscar Alston, Louis Johnson, etc etc. Which is fine, but objectively they have all sold an awful lot of records with very recognisable basslines!

    In mint condition with original tags (does not show any sign of use). Beautifully constructed and offers a lot of protection for your prized instruments! My Yamaha TRB 5P2 electric bass fits as the Gator cases come up slightly bigger than standard. Icon bass case 45” internal. I’ll update the post with pics to show. * 3rd photo is my medium scale (33”) ACG bass in the case. *Collection preferred from Aylesbury or buyer arranged courier.* Online description below:👇 The Gator ICON Series Bag for 335 Style Guitars is a multi-layered semi-rigid bag that makes it easier to safely transport your instrument around. It is constructed from weather-resistant 1000D black nylon, for its exterior, while the interior is soft lined with red micro-velvet fabric. There are also hideaway backpack straps for easy carrying that also includes a bottle opener and stowaway D-ring. You won't need to worry about losing your gear, with the exterior pop-out luggage tag, and the interior serialized bag tracker, which can be quickly registered or identified with a laser-etched QR code. It also has a removable and adjustable neck support block with a hook-and-loop wrap that increases stability during transport. As well as this it has a TSA luggage lock-friendly zipper, rubber bumpers, and padded grab handles on the front back, and side.

    Have another free bump on me.
  7. Stub Mandrel started following Different Venue every week .... is EQing the FOH "Mains" rather than the individual inputs a shortcut ..... or heresy? and Does Size Matter? Is 8” Big Enough?

    Curiosity, why are people who make their own excellent bass cabs buying ready made PA speakers?

    This is all great info, thanks. And nice to be back here having needed to step away from it all a while ago. Preamp noise is an interesting one - obviously it matters for some scenarios whereas others it matters not a jot, but is that the only audible difference? Some classic pres are not exactly quiet but they sound great. What I've noticed with crappy budget gear sometimes is a slight (or not so slight) harshness and/or grainyness that accumulates across the channels. Likewise some EQs just sound better than others in a way that feels like it's not wholly about centre frequency and slope/Q. Basically, studio and live I've tended to find the better the gear, the easier mixing becomes. Just not sure where that stops being significant with these digital mixers! The RCF M18 sounds interesting even if only available secondhand.

    The one PA we have uses a reference microphone and white noise through each, then both sides of the PA. Not perfect as it doesn't compensate for the place filling with punters, but it speeds everything up.

    Just watched "Ambulance" on BBC1, 18th November. Towards the end at 54-00 there is some atmospheric blues music sung by a female. Anybody know anything about this song? I've searched the web and can find nothing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002mfmm/ambulance-series-15-5-broken-heart

    I have one of these in this colour and I can vouch for how insanely nice these things are! They actually feel like a well-played vintage instrument. Fender knocked it out of the park with these basses.

In the photos, in the top-left corner of the screen: that's the protective film that I never removed starting to come off, not a scratch/mark etc. My feedback thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/159971-feedback-for-jrixn1/

    To describe the bass as "distortion ripping from the depths of Hell" would be an understatement.

    Just wanted to update here I purchased the bassbuzz course and surprised myself with just how much I knew somewhere in the old grey matter that I cancelled my subscription after the first month and haven't looked for another course since then. I don't regret buying a month of the course as it have me confidence in my playing ability

    I can only think of Mo Foster, who had a double bass fingerboard grafted on to his Jazz Bass when he had it made fretless, but I'm pretty sure that bass had both pickups on it. Probably not what you are thinking of.
