    If that happened to a band I was in I would, for every gig the venue had booked, in the week the gigs were due to take place, contact the bands that were scheduled to play and advise them of what had happened.

    I’ve only depped for one band. The bassist sent me the set list, I learnt it, got to rehearsal and half the songs I’d learned were no longer being played. On the other half on two songs I was expected to play rhythm guitar (which as I can was no bother) both of which were played a half step down. I did it but never again, last minute dot com don’t live in this body.

    1996 pbass

    Fender have changed the voicing on their pickups over the years, the mid/late 90s ones to me have a thicker more balanced sound than the early 200s which followed, which I find to be toppier and more modern sounding. Plus - and contentious to some - I’ve always found that maple necked basses of the same type & series have a brighter sound anyway.

    Bass of choice into a Zoom MS60B for both tuning and compression, then into an Ampeg SCR-DI for eq and drive, into an Ashdown Mini Stack amp/cab.

    Given that the purpose of this post is musically related I’ve put it here, if it needs to go to Off Topic fair play. It seems that I’m developing arthritis in the knuckle on my left thumb. Ok, nothing I can do about that however my playing style has pretty much always been heavy pick & hit hard, picked up equally by being both a punk player and starting out (like many of us I dare say) with an amp not powerful enough so digging in to get the volume. So the purpose of the post, well I don’t want this to develop in my picking hand so am dropping to lighter picks and lighter playing. Who knows if it’s already lurking or not, but I’m going to make the changes in the hope of keeping it at bay for as long as possible. Fortunately the thumb issue isn’t too bad as it doesn’t really affect the way I play too much. So another one of those getting older/making changes things, much like the realisation that ear-plugs are def worth plumping for. For us musicians if our hands & ears don’t work, well not a good place to be.

    Saw Slash with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators last night, at Wembley Arena, Really good gig, great sound imo, without cacophonous bass drum which is always a plus for me. At time lead vocals could have been a bit higher maybe but you could still hear them, if not fully understand them. The whole band played as tight as the proverbial, and Slash is just a monster on lead guitar.

    I never “got” Guns N Roses when they emerged, took me about 10 maybe 15 years to appreciate them and specifically Duff McKagans bass playing.

    Another Ashdown RM500 EVOII recommendation here. Though also happy to recommend the Ampeg PF500 for the sound (having had two, one which was great, the other which didn’t last a rehearsal I’m not keen on their reliability).

    So sorry to hear this Gasman

    Must admit I`ve never really been one for asking studio people what they think of the material, if they offer an opinion or suggestion then great but otherwise I just acknowledge that they must listen to so much that that it`s probably seldom they hear something they really like. That said I do like to receive input on arrangements/playing etc, on our current album which is due for release in June the producer suggested a few things on bass which I did and they certainly add to the tracks, never too old to learn.

    I have one of his on its way to me at present.

    Makes me very envious of those able to cart such gear around, would love one of these but sadly reading about them is at the top end of my limits now.
  14. Lozz196
    DEF good for metal!

    Packed up my gear and removed it from the stage so that the next band could get set up, took said gear to the green room, hung around to see the first half of the main bands set then set off home.

    New EHX pedal

    Lozz196 replied to ambient's topic in Effects

    Didn’t Big Country use those back in the 80s…….

    I know I’m a heathen and that the punk police will give me a kicking in the cells for this but I’m afraid I prefer Guns N Roses version of Down on The Farm to the original by The UK Subs.

    As above White Squier CV Mustang, get a custom made pink scratchplate (earlpilanz from EBay perhaps).

    My gigging band is like that Dave, we all get on well but the only time we get together is gigs, rehearsals, recording. Suits me fine, exactly what I want from a band.
  20. Lozz196
    I’ve been in bands with such types before and left because of them. I won’t work with people like that. There’s no point in confronting them about it or trying to get them to change as in their minds they are all that counts. As soon as “I’m not, I won’t, I don’t” starts to get banded about that’s me gone.
  21. Lozz196
    I prefer 50-105 so as to get heavier strings on the D & G, to counteract against the pickup positioning. Def sound more balanced to my ear than 45-105.
  22. Lozz196
    Sounds good Dave, the mention of Dunoon takes me back a few years to when we played there, was certainly a journey and a half!
  23. Lozz196
    Yes they’re coated, and long scale, which fit fine on the string-thru Mustangs.
  24. Lozz196
    Great set up
  25. Lozz196
    I use 50-105 Elixir steel rounds on my Mustangs @dmc79they get fairly near the feel/tension of the 45-100s that I used on my Precisions.
