That's a good point, something that I`ve had a few time, mainly my first times on bigger stages, ended up digging in far too much. Now with a bit more experience I can deal with this but the first time, man did my picking hand hurt after that gig.

May well be due to lack of salt, I used to get really bad cramp in my feet and calves, started having a banana and a pack of ready salted crisps every day, plus drinking more water and adding salt into my cooking and it rarely happens nowadays.

They look great Stew, really suit that bass, glad you’re pleased with them.

The fatter the string, the fatter the tone?

If only Warwick made their strings in this gauge. -
Yes I had one of those too, I had the scrambler set in minimal and it added in some nice drive when digging in, anything more and I thought it just sounded, well, wrong.

I’ve had both maple and rosewood versions of the same basses over the years, and have always found that the maple ones were slightly “snappier”. I doubt I’d be able to tell in the mix tho. Also a few years back we did a blind maple/rosewood test at the Herts Bass Bash. In every case the overwhelming winners were the rosewood versions.

Or do it the other way round, if you make a mistake deliberately look at another band member so the audience think it was then that messed up 😁

Well on the punk/Oi circuit the Precision seems to hold more favour, not sure about any other genres though.

Curses, you got there before me.

Nice one, takes a well balanced guitarist to admit that just because they can play guitar doesn’t automatically make them a bassist too. I always describe myself as a bassist who can get by on rhythm guitar at a push. I’d never describe myself as a guitarist as I don’t have the same understanding of the instrument as I do with bass.

Very good for metal, maybe?? -
Baaaaaahhhh

I’d try Hot Rod (who used to be Wizard) their 70s style pickup was very similar to my 70s Precisions that I had.

The 1001rb is a great amp, bags of eq-shaping, tons of power. Use your ears wisely and it should be fine through the 210 but as others have said, I`d get another of the 210s to be safe. It`s very unlikely you`ll blow the speakers in two of the 210s before your ear-drums.

I had Tonehammers for a while and was really pleased with them. I then played through an Ashdown RM500 at the London Bass Guitar Show and was pretty much astounded at the depth of sound in comparison.
-
I keep on looking at these. I`m more than happy with my US Fenders but have noticed my fretting hand/wrist aching a bit recently and wondering if the slimmer neck profile on these Players may help with that. Plus that Buttercream colour, well...………….

Now Sold One Ashdown RM500 EVO, v1 in very good condition for sale, comes in original packaging. 500 watts at 4ohms (and this is a real 500 watts, these amps are loud and very full sounding). 5 band eq plus drive, compression and Ashdowns Sub-Harmonic Generator, plus Shape feature to emulate the ABM amps. 2 x speaker out (Speakons or jacks), effects loop, plus onboard DI including level control. 5kg in weight, so heavyweight sound in a lightweight amp. £325 gets this to your door in the UK. No trades thanks.

I’ve played some older Fenders, some have been great, some haven’t. I doubt I’d buy one just for how old it was.

Which bass cab and amp do I need for a small studio?
Lozz196 replied to EgorI's topic in Amps and Cabs
When we record I go from my preamp pedal to the desk, and gave the amp/speaker miked up. The addition of the amp/speaker brings a warmth and depth to the sound. My amp has a preamp valve so I’d probably look at a low-wattage valve amp like an Ashdown Little Bastard and a small speaker cab to go with it. No need for big wattage amps & big cabs in the studio, but I would want amp/cab in there as well as DI. -
My instinct would be rounds/maple, flats/rosewood, but my ocd would mean trying the above, which is the most logical approach.
-
That looks amazing
-
Does look nice, pricey though
-
I do like the idea of a pair of these - a doable 610. Which is nice.
-
Curses, the only ones near me are when I’m gigging/on tour myself.
