stingrayPete1977

I take my Jazz V to every gig along with a Stingray 5, one of three to choose from totally at random.

It's easy, just try playing one! bass back on the hook, wallet back in the pocket* * similar methods work with Rickenbackers

There was a guy on here a while ago contemplating moving a Genz 600 head on for something bigger as it wasn't cutting the mustard with his 2x10 cab, I pointed out that my genz 300 head with a 2x12 would blow anything away that he puts through that 2x10 as the cab was the limiting factor, I said try it through a pair of 4x10s but he wasn't having it, more watts would have to be louder, I gave up in the end. So what I'm saying is "why was my old 200 watt head and a pair of 4x12s louder than my 1000 watt head and a Barfaced one10?", speakers that's what's watt.

Oooh I like the stand solution, cool.

There's a RHCP song but I can't recall the name of it but the verse contains the same bass note throughout, it fits perfectly with the drums and guitar and I guess that's the most important bit.

You're all wrong! There is only one answer to this, If You Want Me To Stay- sly and the family stone, it's got an element of everything that everyone has suggested so far other than the Geezer Butler stuff.

I think it looks good with either.

I only know one fully pro guy, it's not my place to say who he plays for but the artist is properly famous both sides of the pond, at the same time he'll be out doing Brown eyed girl,beer festival or jam night like the rest of us.

Are you playing off the B string for the low E or stretching up the neck as if it were a four string bass?

Looks great, other than the rosewood board it looks just like my blue pearl/maple ebmm version

The problem I have with passive basses is that they sound crap

In ears!

I use MuseScore, free to download and sounds like something you will enjoy, I was recommended it by someone on here years ago.

2 band Stingray, set the bass to where your ears tell you it sounds nice then use the treble pot as you have the tone pot on a P bass in the past, simple pimple

Lovely jubly

That looks ace! There needs to be more white cover rays around.

There's only one thing better than 9 Stingrays.... 10 Stingrays

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1476550380' post='3155159'] yeah that could be an explanation The logical conclusion is he didn't like the BF ones enough after all. [/quote] I wonder if he's bought some shares in a popcorn company but waiting for the paperwork to go through before admitting he has dropped the BF?

Only just had a chance to watch this, I presumed they didn't cover the cabs/amps rather than there being no BF ones.

That was a nasty knock in a place that would affect playabilty, no one wants a splinter in their wrist during a gig! Nice bass with the correct number of strings too

Ìf you want to sound like you really know it blue then calling it "Skeggy" is the way to go

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1476309523' post='3153313'] Oi, less of that..! I'll have you know that [i]some [/i]vintage kit is quite decent..! (... [i]and I'll claim first dibs on any Hiwatt stuff you stumble across, please.[/i] ) [/quote]

[quote name='Joebethell' timestamp='1476293644' post='3153147'] I have a mass of wires/cables some old solid-state (vintage if you like) Amps of various brands like H and H/Wem etc some PA cabs,old speaker cabs plus other bits i have forgotten about plus the appropriate amount of old heavy bass gear. [/quote] Have you seen Dad3353's live show!

Like a lot of things having more knobs is better for people who know what they are doing, for a lot of people,myself very much included it needs to be as simple as possible, thats the only reason to use an old fashioned passive desk but even I've got the hang of the xair. Being able to add in extra matched cabs hired/purchased or borrowed is still too much of a draw to a common but high end brand for me right now but you've got to start somewhere, from small acorns and all that!

Bottom end surely?!
