Me too. My main cable is over 30 years old, so something is working!

Unless they’re a left-hand thread, but everyone knows that!

Do You need to wear glasses when playing bass?

Yes. Because I’m old and wretched I have varifocals. -
Nobody can dance with a Wal slung around their neck!

I think the only track on BSSM that was a stingray was the 5 String on ‘The righteous and the wicked’, everything else was the Wal.

Look like Rotosound Nexus- excellent strings! -
Mmmm, freshly cut tree-meat

Stratus the way (I like it) KC and the sunshine band.

Nope, that’s the Beegees.

I can heartily recommend the iReal app for learning standards and walking, though it’s Mac only.

For bass players - who preffer to sing back vocals ?

It’s surprising how well the ‘shouting at approximate pitch’ approach works! -

I got coerced into BVs during my tenure in a metal band, and really enjoy doing them now. I’ve known from a young age that Pavarotti was never going to lose any sleep over my vocal ‘abilities’, but well placed harmonies can often mean the difference between a good live band and a great live band. -
I've avoided using a compressor for years, and tend to favour a HPF over an actual compressor. I fire mine (Emma Discombobulator) on for slap passages as it's set to a fast attack time and quite a heavy compression.

One fretted, one fretless. Identical models apart from the ‘speed bumps’ - ensures I don’t have to muck about with eq settings or compressor thresholds etc…

Yup. I went back to watch the video and to be fair, after about a minute she DOES play a Jazz… with the bridge pickup dialled all the way back so it just sounds similar to the P bass. Awesome.

The power of equality - RHCP

...ideally one where the bridge is hanging off the ârsę end of it!

I will fight you!!

I’ve just had this ad pop up on FBook - seems as though there’s no real difference betwixt the two… just so everyone knows, I’m Jazz all the way, they’re good for metal too.

I can't recommend getting a phase switch enough, it's worth whatever extra you have to pay just to not have your signal (or parts of it) disappear when you're approaching a 50/50 blend. Unless you've got an oscilloscope or similar device for checking the signal phase then a phase reverse switch is a must.

SVTs will play with 8Ω cabs all day long, they just won't be able to deliver their maximum power. Speaker impedances on amps are MINIMUM ratings. Bigger number good, smaller number bad. Very bad.
