Indeed a classic look

I’d probably have been a rhythm guitarist, I’m pretty good at that but not too hot on that lead malarkey.

I had one, with the matching NY121 cab. The combo on its own was loud enough for live use with my band at the time which consisted of drums, 2 basses, 3 guitars, keyboards and 2 singers, doing punky/indie type music. Adding in the cab really filled the sound out but the combo on its own was easily enough.

Yep, Ampeg pretty similar tho I find that Ashdown have more clarity when the top end is pushed, seem a bit smoother to me, with Ashdown maybe being more low-mid biased with Ampeg more towards middle-mids if that makes any sense.

20hz - crazy, would any regular market speakers handle that anyway?

A bit like Bon Jovi then, halfway there

Yep I always pick the sound for the band. The sounds I had for my previous two bands, although both achieved using a Precision, were a fair bit different. And the sound for my current band, again with a Precision is a tad different, though probably more in-keeping with the two bands ago sound than the last.

Basic set up is fine, but fret work, nut work & electrics (other than installing a KiOgon loom) I leave to the professionals, which in my case is our very own @gary mac (sadly minus the curly perm & Capri).

I’m sure two of those would be fine unless in a really loud band or really massive hall.

I’m pretty much the same @Rayman, my tone preference now is more for a warm rounded in the mix tone (which isolated doesn’t sound like that at all btw) whereas in my previous band it was a lot more noticeable, Sansamp type drive & twang. I’ve just joined a band and I love the mix of their album, although the low end of the bass is clearly there it’s very difficult to determine what is actually played, sits perfectly in the mix.

Quality service there, Daves a top bloke

The strange thing I found about playing with a lighter touch was that I also found that my fretting hand didn’t grip so forcibly, which has also enabled me to be a bit more nimble around the neck.

Same here, was quite an eye & ear opener

Look out for STP Promotions, they’re based up your way, and Stu is a great guy to deal with.

Looks like a bass that should have been used in Wrathchild, Muzz

Ouch!

It’s probably down to the wear on it, when I bought it it had a fair bit and I added to it (unintentionally) but it was authentic wear and looked great. I had another virtually identical one without any wear that played/sounded just the same and that one doesn’t hold much fondness at all. In fact rather ironically after I sold it the buyer then moved it on to the guy who is my replacement in my old band. Now if it had been the worn one I might have tried to get it back.

More expensive than as stated, but I really liked the clips of the Aguilar DB599. Not cheap tho, at around £200, but it does sound good.

Yep I thought it sounded great on just the P pickup, especially with the playing/bassline with a pick part.

Just a regular US Standard, Dave, 2015 I think it was.

I’ve been very tempted by these JMJ basses

I kind of regret moving on the one in my avatar pic. I was so intent on shifting everything to do with my last band as in general I no longer needed it all, but it had a good amount of authentic road wear on it which I really liked. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so eager.

I found Markbass cabs to have a high-end roll-off, not that much of an issue though if the cab is the sole provider of the bass. The amount of sound that comes from those BF 110s is amazing, I`m sure it would more than handle the job as required.

Very transparent, not sure if super squishy is achievable
