What would be quite cool is if the middle bottom knob were a headphone output volume control (with cab sim) as B15 has no mid control.

I asked AI to tell me about AI music Royalties (so perhaps the answer is biased?!) So it'll be interesting to see who makes the ££ from it.

I was asking because of my lack of experience just recently returning to the instrument well last couple of years but thank you, will see if a friend will jam a basic 12 bar and try it but struggling with sounding convincing on my own

Thanks that’s all I’m interested in gaining some knowledge

Lost lol

Thanks

Thanks for the advice and information

Thanks tried the 2 5 1 while just practicing on my own but still trying to work out a decent 1 6 2 5 just doesn’t work for me at the moment, my lack of skills I think.

Someone requested this following the 'April Joy' solo transcription but I can't remember who or where (it was not on here). I have done a complete transcription this time, the Mark Egan bass part on the tune 'Jaco' from the same 1978 Pat Metheny Group album. 'Pat Metheny Group'. The solo on this is great and all the more interesting when you see it written down. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/jaco-pat-metheny-group/

Thats the best picture I've been able to find and I became slightly obsessed with searching through photos of his live sets. There is a very recent tv performance on the Steve Colbert show where you can see he is still using the EBS DPhaser along with the Moog MF-101 and Digitech Whammy. With the settings for the MF-101, he varies the sound a lot both live and on the recorded versions. The actual settings he favours for the MF-101 will sound different if another person copied them since things like a player's attack, the output of the bass etc. will have an impact on how the envelope responds. I've dialled it in by ear but he tends to favour high drive for a dirty sound with a high resonance and lower frequency on the MF-101. The picture of the EBS Dphaser clearly shows the rate and depth but again he varies his settings a lot. The EBS DPhaser in the picture is set to the Long mode which is an 8-stage setting which makes up a big part of that sound. The Moog MF-103 he used previously was a 6-stage phaser but I think any 6-8 stage phaser - analogue or digital - will get you his sound with the right rate and depth! Hope that helps! Look forward to your video. 😀

As Duke Ellington famously said, if it sounds good, it is good.

So in other words, "No" nobody has any experience of these cabs 😆

We played a new venue last night, the Palace Place social club in Paignton. They have a PA, but the monitors were elsewhere so we took our desk and monitors and plugged into their amp. The room was quite tall and we needed to dial back on the higher frequencies to control the sound. My bass rig was filling the room nicely and didn't need much FOH, but the guitar did. A decent FOH and stage sound sorted and we blasted through our 2 sets. This club is near an old favourite pub which has changed landlord and direction, so we are not playing there anymore. We will secure more gigs here so that keeps us busy enough. They were pleased to have us and suggested coming down when it is quieter and setting up with their system and digital desk and monitors so we can just plug and play for the next gig. We didn't have a lot of time last night for that. Quite a few people who used to see us in Paignton came last night now we are back in town. My usual rig of StingRay, RM500 evo II & BF 210. Shoes were my new Skechers slip on' which are super comfy.

@Chiliwailer That calmed me down. Hypnotic and soothing. Made me feel bad about misbehaving in the power boat.
