Nashville gigs are very poorly paid in general. Even tours with well known artists might only pay $200 per show (with all expenses covered obviously). Small fish in a big pond comes to mind!

Upgrade Sire V7 with Sadowsky preamp
acidbass replied to asingardenof's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hey @asingardenof how did this turn out? Any issues with the install? -
Hey guys! Has anyone played on this musical before? What's it like? Been offered the gig with a local theatre company but the music is dots and I'm usually a chart reader. Not a problem really as I'll get the notation well in advance, but I'm keen to hear what others think about the music and bass part in general! Thanks in advance Danny

Android Tablet... software for setlist & notes
acidbass replied to Stub Mandrel's topic in Accessories and Misc
I see a lot of guys using 'On Song' for live setlists. No experience here but worth a look! -
As a bassist there is nothing more destructive to a band's sound than a drummer who overplays. Sadly we have probably all encountered them! There seems to be an obsession now on chops over more traditional (useful) skills such as time, feel and dynamic. I try to think of the patterns I play as being inextricably linked to the drums, which means that I am conscious of not falling into the same trap of overplaying. It's a tough one.

I would say that there is a little bit more grip than Elixirs, but not really noticeable.
-
Recent convert to Dragon Skin also. I use them both on 4 string J bass and 5 string multiscale Dingwall. I believe they are coated Hi Beams. Great string with plenty of bounce and life!

I'm happy that he has received the recognition for his contribution to fretless playing but really that sound now is super dated, similar to the whole Mark King thing. It'll no doubt appeal to those who harbour 80s nostalgia, doctors and lawyers with plenty of wall space. I guarantee there will be a Sterling version released in about a year, priced around the £1200 mark.

EBMM Darkray 4 - Obsidian Black - PRICE DROP - *SOLD*
acidbass replied to acidbass's topic in Basses For Sale
PM'd you -
Probably been said already, but it sounds like a professionalism issue on the part of the musicians who don't bother to commit to the idea.
-
Bass response is all about the seal for me, so going custom moulds is a cert. However, I do like the KZs for bar type gigs - I own both the ZS10s and ZARs (both with foam tips) and I'm quite happy with both.

I'd like to make this same mod on my NG3 5 string, but I think BD only have the bridges in black. I'd love one in chrome. Time to email Payson I guess!

Hi all I am selling this pack of 5 x brand new and unused Van Damme patch cables. Each cable is 30cm in length from connector to connector. Cable is Van Damme Classic XKE instrument - tough as nails and more robust than the equivalent patch cable. Connectors are low profile pancake-style TS mono jacks. Will not split, selling as a lot of 5 cables for £35 including UK P&P Thanks! Danny-

Hi all I'm looking for some advice I would like to wrap 3 x Dingwall pickups in a white colour. The pickups themselves are epoxied into the shells and white covers are not available either as an option or aftermarket upgrade. I am thinking some kind of vinyl wrapping (like they use on car parts) might work. Does anyone have experience of doing something similar? Cheers! Danny
-
Option 2 for me. Whilst I agree it might appear unprofessional, it would be even more unprofessional to go onstage for 2+ hours with a terrible live sound.
-
Hi there - the tips are silicone I believe! Three different sizes for your preferred seal. -
I don't like the form factor. It seems as if when you step on one of the footswitches, the whole unit will rock forward towards you? I don't know. I would be hesitant to take it on tour!
-
Looks like Townshend has announced a U turn now, and Zak is back in the band!
-
I love Pino's playing but he wasn't the right fit for The Who, both in terms of playing and his tone. What has since become apparent with Jon Button is that no one can really replace Entwistle. Button is also a square peg in a round hole IMO.

Hi all The time has come to sell this beautiful Ernie Ball Music Man Darkray 4 string bass in the 'none more black!' Obsidian Black It's a Stingray Special with a Darkglass preamp, 2 band EQ with a switchable overdrive circuit. To be honest I didn't really think I would need the overdrive but it is super fun and has cool LEDs 😎 and doesn't lose any low end at all - a typical DG trait. This bass is in showroom condition bar two small marks on the headstock as pictured. There isn't one single mark or scratch anywhere else on the instrument and it could pass as new otherwise. I believe the original strings may still be on it with only a few hours' play time. Comes with official EBMM hardcase and all case candy. You don't see these for sale very often. I see new examples for sale for around the £3k mark at present. I can send via insured courier and it will be very well packed in a proper guitar box. I would estimate a total cost of £60-70 for this and I'm happy to split that cost with you to ensure she arrives safely. Happy to take more hi def pics of any part of the instrument you would like to see. I have redacted the serial number in my pics (as I am conscious of my pics being used for fraudulent purposes) but I'm happy to send the unredacted pics to an interested buyer. No trades please My feedback thread is here: https://tinyurl.com/acidbass Thanks for viewing! Danny

I'm still using my own shipping methods and entering my own tracking, I am a private seller but transact quite a bit thru eBay. When did this rule come in?
-
Hey all! Thank you for the replies - I looked into each recommendation. We have decided to buy a kit, cymbals and bass amp, and store them at a friend's house in Brussels for future trips. So all good!

Hey guys I'm looking into hiring a bass amp, drum kit and cymbals in Brussels for a short tour (3 dates) in September 2025. I am sure Google will assist but I thought maybe the BC hive mind would help with a first-hand recommendation Thanks in advance Danny

I have a feeling this is the reason. I noticed something similar when playing through headphones and read up about it on Neural forums - seems quite a few people have the same issue. I believe you can buy a grounded power supply for it. I now use a Cioks DC7 to power mine and haven't noticed any issues since - but still a little disappointing.

I prefer Lo/High Cut block to simulate a cab, rather than a cab sim itself - it allows for a bit more flexibility of EQ I think. Usually I found an LPF frequency of around 7khz suited my style.
