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. - Today

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.

Any more updates or opinions on this pedal? I'm really keen to try it out to see what it can add to my signal chain, but at the same time it's a lot of cash to drop on a pedal with so few demos out there.

Here's my lovely 18v black and maple Stingray Special with 3 band eq. Weighs in at 4kg/8.8lbs Never gigged, light practice use only, condition is a good 9/10! Comes with original hard case and new strings. Non standard, USA made, flat top knobs. I bought this from GAK last Summer for £2k. Possible trade Sandberg. Can courier at cost or possibly deliver. -
Finally replaced the original Sandberg strings... decided to keep the La Bella on the self for now, and strung it with D'addario black tapes - as it just looks amazing with the black hardware! Can't wait to actually listen to it tomorrow, what happens to the "modern P" tone with these weirdo strings
-
That's my point,no matter who played it an A is an A and it sounded good. Had no idea this cover version even existed before the start of this thread. Otis Redding fan here. -
Just back to my hotel after a hot sweaty little gig in Manchester on the “Gimme A Tour”, er, tour. The band were great, I was average, the crowd were enthusiastic and the volume was a bit too much. But my bass (ACG RetroB) sounded ace through the Digbeth pre, Elf and Barefaced Two10. Shoes were brown suede Chelsea boots, I really should wear them more because they’re ace.
-
Of course it doesn't, it's Tim Lefebvre playing it. I'm sure that he wouldn't play anything that sounded 'wrong', or that the band wasn't happy with! -
