ITEM SOLD One BOSS WL20 wireless kit. This is brand new/unused, BOSS sent it to me as a replacement for my old one which developed a fault after a years solid gigging and rehearsing. No cables, no power-packs, no on/off switch, no settings, just two little bugs, one for your bass, one for your amp. Simply connect them together and they choose the best frequency for the establishment you are in. Plug, play, and pose. £120 which includes postage in UK. These retail at £150 so get a new unused one for 30 notes less. -
Agree, only time I’ve ever hit anyone with my bass was a straight jab with the headstock in the face. Would have been far too much effort to take a swing with it, plus given the size of the stage all of have probably hit would have been the wall or ceiling.
-
On the time I had to use someone else’s bass due to mine failing (electrical problem) it was doubly embarrassing as I was meant to be lending a band mine for the evening, as they’d flown in from Germany. Luckily the bassist of the headline band was great about it all and lent us his backup, a Squier Matt Freeman Precision which more than fitted the bill.
-
Same here, I also think my hatred stemmed from the fact that my then girlfriend was a Durannie. Being into punk listening to Duran over and over again did my head in, whereas nowadays I’d quite like that.
-
Seems strange to me, leaving a band but expecting equal rights and input on what’s put on the website.
-
Ordinary World is an awesome track, and far better for coming from their non-teenie phase imo.
-
I admit I never take a backup amp. At the Rebellion Festival last year I plugged into the provided SVT stack, tuned up, all good. Just as we were about to start, nothing, amp had gone, so the crew switched to the backup. As had been said, even the expensive gear can go.
-
Not much in it I`d say, a new set of either makes my fingertips aware of what`s happened til they`ve aged a bit.
-
Yep, switched to these from Rotosound, similar sound, at least twice if not three times the life span. And at lower cost.
-
I put a Limelight pickup in my '73 Precision....

That is surely a criminal act -
Nice one, glad it all worked out Stew
-
That`s about it. Rather embarrassingly I hadn`t noticed it as my sound is trebly/twangy/driven, it was only when I went to sell it - and delivered it personally - that the prospective buyer tried it out and noticed it. His sound had some good lows so it made the same sound you describe. Ashdown put a new tweeter in it for me and all was then good.
-
Might just get one myself, love the 57 look
-
If it’s just on the lows it could be the tweeter. I had this on the RM112 that I had, took it to Ashdown and they sorted it. Can’t remember what the exact fault was but def worth giving them a call.
-
That’s the reason I switched to maple fretboards.
-
I’ve only needed one once - and typically had been too lazy to take one on that gig. Lesson learned, it’s only one extra cheapie item in a gig-bag, take it.
-
I think I’d be checking out Spectors, see if they have something that fits the requirements.
-
Def, Sid Vicious found that out at a gig by hitting someone over the head with his. Probably the best use he ever got from it...
-
Imo the RM range is a real unsung hero, those of us that have them realise just how good they are but they really slip by the wayside to a lot of people.
-
I’ve only tried 5-string basses a couple of times and I was surprised at how easy I found it. But then I just played all my regular lines in the same places so essentially as a 4-string. Nothing against 5s, I have considered getting one as am sure it would help on some of the music in my new project.
-
It is the only sensible way forward.

Bass players you didn't know were bass players

From what I’ve read Sheryl Crow apparently is quite handy on the bass. Doh - just saw Jus Lukins post. -
Congrats, that’s why I went the Ashdown RM as well, Stew. As you say it’s near enough in sound to the ABM, but in a set up that can be carried about by those not in their prime shall we say. My RM500 plus two of the 210s (with upgraded Eminence speakers) is going to stay with me now, don’t need anything else for what I’ll be doing moving forwards.

Lead Singers who play Bass!

I was going to add good old Arthur, you beat me to it. -
C’mon, how many takes was it for the bass solo then?
