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] 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='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?!

Excellent work Sylvia The invicta59's Zeller and rig picture is actually my Gedo, the magnetic pickup is the giveaway

I didn't know they were active!

They've managed to put the silver detuner on almost a wonky as Fender have fitted the one on the G string, ah Fender build quality don't you just love it? The string lye on the E would annoy me too and I can't see putting the proper tuner on would sort that either?

I wouldn't want a non active pa system in this day and age, we've got an xair mixer, 2 RCF 735A speakers and two powered db monitors, that will do a typical wedding marquee if I use a large 2x12 bass cab as backline supported by the foh (no need for bins with 735 or 745 which is why they are a grand each),a beer festival or large outdoor gig we won't be doing the PA so it's out of our hands. Having a 1400 watt amp in the back of each speaker rather than dragging more gear around wins for me

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1476138055' post='3151761'] Oh and how about this one? [/quote] There needs to be more coloured finish Wals, one owned by someone desperate for cash to fund a drug problem or something would be ideal for me!
