Looks great in white

Or maybe his wireless kit is just turbo powered and he’s playing from home?

I use the Mono GS1 “Betty” strap and it’s very good. A bass that fatigues on a regular strap is usually ok with these.

Making me wince

I’ve spilt more ale down me westcoat than you’ve supped tha night!

He was swapping about like The Edge

Plenty of Mustangness from their bassist too.

So lately I’ve been playing all my basses on rotation. Precisions with maple and rosewood, Jazzes with maple and rosewood, and Mustangs with rosewood (both Precision & Jazz width neck). The result being that after years of being a Precision with maple strung with steel rounds man I’m now def a Mustang with Jazz width neck strung with nickels man, I’m finding it much easier to play and I’m getting a sound that’s much more pleasing to my ears. Whoda thunk it!

Just shows what a good forum this is

Agree, I love Tech21 gear but I’ve always found their stuff to sound like a Sansamp (which is a great sound imo). I adopted the same approach on the eq with my PF500, just sounded great. Similarly agree re the cabs - I think the voicing really adds in to the Ampeg sound, maybe their low end - not quite so low as many others.

There`s certainly a lot "more" in those ABM EVO IV amps.

Nice review @Muzz, I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced lightweight Precision with J-neck for gigs, will check these out.

I had the Ampeg PF500 and thought that - aside from lack of gain - did very well. I’ve currently got the Ampeg SCR-DI pedal for home use and really like it.

Nice one. I played one of these at a gig in around 89 and really liked it.

Elixirs. I get about 8 months use from a set before they dull.

Pretty much my approach too

Nice sounds there Jack

I think the main question here is why is it so important to said BL & wife for her to play the bassline to the song on her keyboard rather than other melody parts.

Calling all Sires……….

Yes, played very well but for a short set they could have put more “bangers” in

The Darkness at IOW currently on, as good as ever

That Precision looks great

I found when I tried this that the 4ohm didn’t sound noticeably louder but it did sound more “alive”. It was ages ago when I did it so can’t remember which amps/cabs tho.

Sounds great
