    Ah, I suppose as I’ve only ever played along to The Ataris version I thought the original was also Eb. Hot-dang pop-punkers!
  2. Lozz196
    If anything I’d drop to D if the guitarist is finding Eb awkward, as agree upping to E makes it sound a lot lighter.

    Ampeg SCR-DI would be my suggestion. Blendable gain which does from touch of break up to Lemmy really nicely, plus the Ampeg sound/eq.

    I’d say don’t criticise but offer some tips/guidance, but make sure it’s advice that they would be able to take on.
  5. Lozz196
    Yup, I’m in that camp too. I’ve been more than satisfied with all the lightweight amps & cabs I’ve had but whenever I’ve used a bit of old heavy gear there’s just been something “more” to the sound and the feel of the sound on stage. Especially if it’s a big stage.

    No, you want to have a good holiday, metaphorically put your feet up and relax, not have a load of stuff from back home to deal with whilst away.

    Could be cap or possibly pots - Squier use 500s which are brighter, changing them to 250s sorts things out nicely, maybe Sire do similar?

    They really are good pickups, imo very similar to Fender Custom Shop 62s which are pretty much £100 more.

    Hi Chris Just measured a set taken from Player Series
  10. Lozz196
    Agree, as well as the above at auditions wherever possible I stand on same side as hi-hat & snare so as to really keep an eye on the drums and lock in.

    In both of my gigging bands the singers are naturally very good at interacting with the audiences. That said I prefer when going to see a band to hear them play songs. I’d be more than happy for there to only be a smidging of chat at most. I don’t really care what songs are about and I don’t have any interest in hearing them thank anyone and everyone from the bar staff to the lollipop man who helped them cross the road in 1972.

    Without pics, I have: 3 x black Fender JMJ Mustang basses 3 x black/black/maple Fender Precisions (3 x US, 1 x MIM)

    I wonder if this would work with the California TT
  14. Lozz196
    Will they be like decaf where as there’s less of them they’ll cost more?
  15. Lozz196
    I reckon that`s the way forwards
  16. Lozz196
    That looks to be a good gig, great supports too. If my back was able to do a standing all day gig I`d def look to go to that one.

    That was a huge factor in my getting a Fender Rumble 800 210 combo. At 13kg it’s the same weight as one of my Ashdown 210 cabs (of which I have two). So as well as reducing the weight (and number) of the large-ish items I need to carry I now don’t need to carry an amp head & speaker leads, plus the inevitable bending over plugging them all in, just combo & mains lead, much less stress on the back.

    Best range Fender did imo, this is a great price too
  19. Lozz196
    I’m the same, voice doesn’t have enough character to do lead vocals but can harmonise and double up well with the lead.

    About time.

    @Rayman I was similar. Virtually all my fave bassists played Precisions - Burnel, Foxton, Matlock, Simenon, Deacon - and for years I tried to get the sound I wanted from various different types/brands of bass. Then I bought a Precision and suddenly there was the sound.
  21. Lozz196
    I`d use the tone control on my bass for this, set the punk sound to full on tone, then back off as needed for the dub/reggae.
  22. Lozz196
    I know how I want to sound for each of my bands, although all slightly different invariably it`s a permutation of scooping mids and adding highs so nothing drastic. What I have found is that when I get an onstage sound I like with an unfamiliar amp I then back off the bass/lows a notch on the dial, it might not make the onstage sound as pleasing but I find it then fits in the mix better.

    Well you don`t see many of that range up for sale, which is a pretty good indicator of how good they are. Congrats on a good bass, in the best colour scheme.

    Steven Seagal is a very tough man, so he can do what he wants!
  25. Lozz196
    I’ve both and would say that the JMJ has a thicker chunkier tone with more mids, similar to a Precision, whereas the MIJ is more Jazz like, lower lows and crisper highs.
