Finding nice people you enjoy playing with is wonderful, "no ego's" is rare because it means every one is listening to each other and compromises. You can comment without upsetting others....you are "harmonious" I am very lucky, my band Fynnius Fogg is celebrating, 50 years with the same founding members! We are obviously old but young at heart and have 23 gigs this year (played over 1000 gigs together)...it has been a wonderful friendship and life11 points

Ordered a Lionel short scale VS4 passive, but going with the Superlight woods for hopefully the smallest lightest solid bass on the planet. Now the 12 month wait begins for delivery. But, surprise upon surprise... that would just about match up with my 50th birthday and the missus offered that it be my present! I was not expecting that! Going with black, rosewood board with abalone dots. Chrome hardware. Something like this: I'm already impatient!!9 points

My Markbass LM2 and LM3 heads are class AB output. They are no larger than the majority of 500/800 watt class D output stage heads. You can have a class AB head without the need for large heavy transformers.6 points

I reckon it's the overall design of an amp that matters - if the designer has a vision for the end result, understands the components they're working with for all they are (and aren't) and knows how to use them intelligently and to best advantage, then the fact that one of those components happens to be a commodity class d power module is neither here nor there. I just wonder how many amps exist for no greater reason than to present something with the company logo on it for sale in a particular area of the market, and how much they might unfairly sway opinion on the underlying technology if they fail to inspire. At home I actively prefer Diet Coke, but down the pub I find all Coke tastes roughly the same. 🙂5 points

As mentioned in other threads, I think part of the class d issue is that people also use them with often singular, small, lightweight cabs, and then people compare them to a big iron head with a large heavy multi speaker cab.5 points

Punk band last night at The Dreadnought in Bathgate celebrating their 50th Anniversary as a rock venue. 4 nights of bands spread over this weekend and next. Punk themed night, 70's themed night, Soft rock night and finally an 80's night. Great night with prizes supplied by the venue for the highest pogo and best dressed punk. The Dreadnought even supplied free hot pies at half time. We had a couple of "guest" singers join us and just had a great night. The punk band Emergency Exit also celebrating 45 years as a band. And here's me with my leather jeans punk look.5 points

Welcome to my world. I realised this years ago that consumer power modules are lacking (IMO) and nothing has changed my mind yet. It’s Diet Coke vs Full Fat Coke.5 points

The emergence of class D heads had me very excited! 800 watts in small box light box. No more lugging around huge transformers, great! Except apart from the easy carry the rest of the story has been pretty erm stinky poo!! Despite 8 years, five heads and every Eq patten under the sun. I simply cannot get on with the sound at volume. 😬 I”ve tried TC Electronics (BH 550) Aguilar (TH500) Tech 21 (VT) Markbass (Tube 800) and finally Mesa Boogie (D800) and no matter if you put a valve in front of them, a compressor before them, a neo or a ceramic speaker from them, or summon a religious cult behind them. They sound too direct at volume to my ears. I tried, but I’m going back to my Class A/B happy place! 😊4 points

The secret to playing a walking jazz bassline is to play a note on every beat. Any note. But never play the same note twice in succession. You don’t need a chord chart or even need to know what key everyone’s playing in. Try it and make a youtube video of the results.4 points

Fender classic 50,s series p bass for sale. Not long had this cracking p bass but the wider neck is causing problems with an old hand injury. Excellent condition apart from a tiny ding at the back of the strap button at the bottom of the bass. Can barely be seen up close. Sounds phenomenal. Looks stunning. The one piece maple neck is top class and should be on every fender. Comes with the fender gig bag. Sad sale. But a real bargain for someone. Bass can be posted at buyers expense.3 points -
Really? I think she’s great - good to hear prominent bass on these dance orientated pop tunes - it happens quite a lot these days. I like the way she deals with the material in a witty way - adds humour.3 points

Probably my age (60) but for me and my peers, listening to albums was always done from beginning to end and opinions arrived at from the experience of having heard the album in its entirety. Probably had to do with having analogue sources back in the day and no digital alternatives, so skipping tracks was not a convenient option. Tracks in isolation might well have not worked, but as a piece on the listening Journey from the beginning to the end of the album, such tracks can be a crucial part of the overall listening experience. In this regard for me at least, Moving Pictures gets 10/10.3 points

That is so cool and such an amazing thing - congratualtions! You hear about all the 'popular' bands that run for ever like the stones, cure etc. but so lovely that there are regular bands that have such a life and longevity. That would really make we want to come to one of your gigs just to hear that sound which has been developed over such a long time.3 points

As a big Rush fan, I always thought that, although Moving Pictures has some great songs, it's also got a few that aren't that great. Always thought that Permanent Waves was a far better album, even though it was very underrated. But what do I know?3 points

Larry Graham is not really mentioned that often if I recall, but I was floored by him yesterday when listening to "Rave Un2 the Year 2000" where he performed with tafka Prince, using what I presume must be a Moon Larry Graham bass, as the headstock seemed to say "Moon". Anyway, luvverly playing and tone to die for (deep and roundish but still with sonority). Now, what songs should I hear if I want to know more about him? Interesting playing prioritized. I've never really been a Sly &tFS man even though their music is agreeable, and know zilch about GCS or about his solo output. Point is I have no sound in my laptop, so can't check YT. Must just buy some songs and play them from my iPod. Any help gratefully received! Bert2 points

I received a Triungulo Lab Malombra this morning, a chorus pedal based on the Boss CE2W (CE1 mode). It’s from the same stable as the Barbanera Moog MF-101 clone and has the same build quality and fantastic paint job. It’s surprisingly versatile as a chorus on account of being able to choose the rate, depth and the wave shape (which takes it a little way towards Barbanera territory), with the mix knob allowing the lows to be kept in. I don’t usually do NPDs but I haven’t really seen any for this so thought I’d do it in case anyone was curious about it.2 points

https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/fender-precision-1996-mex-bass-guitar-/1431325225 In fairness, the seller does say "you might want to restring it as the d and g strings are on the opposite pegs. I only did it because I trimmed the g too short after boiling it and flats are pricey!"2 points

Class H is basically Class A/B but has a complex power supply/power stage design that can almost instantly use more power when required. Most of the Ramsa Amps I have owned were Class H and sounded great. All bar one now sold as they are too heavy to move around at 70.2 points

Excessive use of class A/B amps can lead to tooth decay and diabetes? 😳2 points

Thank you, neighbour! If you'll come some day here again, we can meet to see the bass, no obligation to buy it. But I hope will be sold until then, so we can meet to enjoy a beer, with the obligation to drink it. 😋 Same here... this is the main reason I want to sell it. And I play now mostly 4 string basses (BEAD tuning), so... it's a shame to be unplayed.2 points -
Within seconds of listing a guitar for sale on Facebook I attracted a lot of scammers. I got a handful of "hey! Is your product like this?" Then a load of suspicious links. I reported them and Facebook very quickly told me they did not have enough evidence to see there was a scam in play. Then came Karim. I understand Karim to be a male name. I looked up Karim's profile and he/ she has changed gender and ethnicity a number of times according to the profile photos. He or he also isn't very sophisticated in trying to scam people...2 points

I am a terrible player both on fretted and fretless, but I find that the fretess is actually a very good bass for practicing. It forces you to play and listen to what you are doing with great care. For example, I find that intonation goes all wrong if my fretting hand is not in a correct position, therefore I have to focus on having a correct position2 points
