  2. Currently running Sennheiser G3 IEM System into UE11 phones and it is without doubt the best sound I have ever had. Amazing. All instruments are routed to Aux post-gain but pre everything else, so as to steer clear of trigger happy soundmen with their Marianas Trench EQ curves. All monitor tweaking done on my iPhone using the QU You personal monitoring app. May well get greedy in future and add a REDDI for some B15-ey goodness in the signal path.
  3. Brilliant set from a brilliant guy. What he has done for pop music is great. Decent, honest, music that transcends genres and without any horrible autotune or massive overproduction. Loved it!
  4. Fantastic band. Tight production
  5. Jerry Barnes with Chic - Atelier Jazz thru 2 x Aguilar DB751 and DB410 - brill!
  6. Awesome band, awesome show. They remain the loudest band I've ever seen live.
  7. Fender throughout for Royal Blood - custom Jaguars with huge mudbucker pickups, Starcasters and full Fender backline too. Superb gig
  8. Great amps for little £££
  9. For me it's always flats on a P, but I like both on J basses depending on the gig. I prefer the sound of flats when recording, but when playing with some bands I find I need the extra punch of a roundwound.
  10. Lightweight gear = lightweight tone!
  11. [quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1497446902' post='3318224'] No spray no lay. [/quote] No splash no gash
  12. Jive Talkin
  13. [quote name='steantval' timestamp='1497078298' post='3315660'] Totally understand using them if you are a solo artist or duo. If you are a full band i.e. guitar, bass, drums etc, IMO I call it cheating. [/quote] I get your point if you are talking about miming perhaps, but adding sounds that you don't already have isn't cheating surely.
  14. Didn't Woody from Vulfpeck do a tutorial on their FB page on the keys chords? Definitely saw something like that.
  15. Hi All Interested to hear opinions on this topic. Recently I've been really enjoying tweaking my basses and setting them up precisely, I think I'm pretty close to finding what suits my playing best. Most of my basses have a 9.5" radiused fingerboard, and yesterday for the first time I set up my string height to match the radius of the board (e.g. 9.5" at the bridge saddles) Well it may just be my imagination, but the bass just plays so much better! A nice even response across the neck. Does anyone else do this as standard? D
  16. Nu Metal was my first love - Limp Bizkit, RATM, Linkin Park etc, graduated to proper Heavy Rock/Metal afterwards which was when I started to pick up the bass more - Metallica, Sabbath, Purple etc. Still love it!
  17. Pretty sure it's open E yeah.
  18. It'll be hard as most notes won't work with the tritone in the riff. Try sticking to the minor pentatonic (which you already are) and maybe adding a reference to the tritone (b5, or C in your example) to make it interesting. Also, try varying the rhythm a little and it may help come up with new ideas?
  19. Lucky enough to own one of the original Promethean amps as mentioned above, the 1x10 combo with the 1x10 extension cab, and I'll never part with it. I guess we should add Dumble amps to the above list for obvious reasons. I believe the bass variant was called the Winterland.
  20. Pop has always had great bass, just look at ABBA! It's often how session jazz guys make a living.
  21. Hi All! Just got a Realist copperhead fitted to my upright. It sounds nice, if a bit like an electric fretless! I would like to add a mic and blend the two (possibly using a Headway 2 channel pre) to hopefully achieve a woodier, more natural tone. Looked at options from Schertler and DPA but interested in hearing some opinions! What do you think? Cheers! D
  22. Dandelion wins with 'The Champagne Charlies' who are performing their maiden gig this Thursday! Cheers all for some cracking suggestions
  23. Love these bridges. Stumped as to why standard Fender bridges don't have the channels for the bottom of the saddle screws - to my mind, this helps majorly with anchoring the saddles and allowing the string to vibrate more cleanly. Have a bump on me
