Sounds like you’ve made a good choice there Rob. I had the 410 & 210 a good few years back, sadly for what I was doing back then they weren’t quite right whereas for what I’m doing now they’d be ideal so considering the 210 again - just got to wait for one to turn up on here.

Quite agree, it doesn’t matter how good a song is, if the singer either doesn’t have the range for it, or simply doesn’t feel comfortable with it for whatever reason then that has to be the leader on not doing it. No matter good us musicians are we have to acknowledge that in the majority it’s the singer that sells the band.

Michael just bought a pair of DMs from me. Great comms throughout and a good chat about music when he collected, a good transaction, recommended.

The humble Precision, imo best bass there is.

When I was in a punk covers band some years ago the song criteria was had it been in the Top 30/on Top of The Pops. We did try to add in a few lesser known - but better imo - songs a few times but they just dropped the evening. Doing classic songs in a different way is always worth a go, check out Nine Inch Nails doing Cars with Gary Numan for example.

Yep, I had three 70s Precisions at one point, two were decent but the other was simply the most aggressive sounding Precision I’ve ever heard - think JJ Burnel type sound.

Who has a killer bass that they've neglected for one reason or another?

Justin Meldal-Johnsen - his signature Mustang basses are great instruments. -
String gauge drop / Lighter gauge strings

I used to have 45-100s on my Precisions and found them to be pretty much ideal, much better balance across the strings and less low end flub on the E string (I find mainly the G is the note that booms). -
Have you had some work done Jack 🤣

Aaaaaaarrrggghhh

There are a couple of decent looking Gator bags up for grabs on here at the moment Dave, that’s what I used for my PF500 many moons ago.
-
Very good points there Dave, especially the last.

At present my band does so little there’s hardly any point in being in it, but looking at it more positively where would be the point of leaving. I don’t want to be in any other bands, this is the one I feel comfortable in.

Agree, a good while back I bought a Gibson Les Paul Studio. The shop had three so I tried them all, one sang, one muttered, the other vomitted. I bought the singer.

In that case - and depending where you are of course - I’d be looking at the ABM500 that’s on here for £175. Slightly less flexible eq but still very good amps. You’d be able to source an Ashdown MAG410 with the rest of your budget, possibly an ABM410 if lucky. Edit - I’ve just seen the Spyder & cab that @Pow_22 has up for sale, also worth checking out if near enough.

I think I’d have the discussion with them along the lines of, you’ve got x number of gigs lined up, after paying the new guy his share this leaves y left over after each gig so I expect you to pay me what you owe after z gigs. I’d probably deduct expenses for each of them from the y figure unless they got like donkeys.

Agree, I had far more than I would usually choose but in the band mix it wasn’t noticeable at all as drive, just a warmer fatter sound.
