Thanks for all the advice so far guys, I'm taking it all onboard.👍

Here's me playing my Burns Sonic bass in 1967 (please ignore my flower power kipper tie), I was still at school when I bought it so I borrowed £15 from my elder sister who was working, I later swapped it for some fishing tackle because I never thought that I would be good enough to play in a band, I still regret it to this day.🙁
-
Probably up to £750 second-hand.
-
Yes I should have been more specific and I will amend the post, 👍 it's Vocals, Drums, Guitars x 2, Bass with probably just all the vocals and maybe kick.
-
We are a new band that hopes to be gigging sometime soon, our singer has a great voice but hasn't gigged for over 20 years, so he has no PA at the moment. We will be playing pubs mainly, and the odd small club occasionally, with probably just the vocals and kick going through it. None of us have that much knowledge of PA systems, so our question is: How much power do we need, and roughly how much do we need to spend? We will probably go down the second-hand route.

I've transferred my current project to a folder on my desktop and it seems to be working fine now.
-
No, but as I usually only work on one project at a time, would it be better if I was to create a folder on my desktop and work from that, and then when completed, move anything I want to save to an external drive?
-
Just a thought, could it be running slow because all my Reaper projects and files are saved to an external USB drive?
-
I’ve used Reaper on my 2015 MacBook Pro for a number of years without any problems until recently, and because other programs seemed to be running slower as well, I decided to do a factory reset. I’ve re-installed Reaper but it still seems to be struggling, has anyone got any ideas as to why, is it Reaper, or could it be my MacBook even though I’ve restored it to its original condition? Thanks in advance.

Laney DB-PRE Digbeth Bass Preamp Pedal £100 Posted. It's in great condition and works perfectly. I purchased this a few week's ago from a fellow Basschatter, and the reason I'm selling is not because it doesn't sound great, because it does, but I've now decided that pedals are just not for me, I prefer to just plug in and play. -

Oh, I didn't realise that it was a jam for ukulele players.
-
I still can't get my head around this.🤔 Does this mean that no bass players can go along and replace the "house band" bassist to play a couple of songs? Does this apply to guitarists, drummers, etc.. as well?
-
Yes, I agree that they would certainly have advantages in small or quiet venues.
-
We are definitely going to get him in for an audition, we are not going to dismiss him because he plays an electronic kit. In the past, we've had drummers come along and talked for hours about their "top of the range gear" but were totally imcompetant drummers.
-
My band is currently looking for a drummer and we've had four applicants so far, they all seem quite suitable and one in particular is really into the music we play, and is able to rehearse during the day because we are all retired or semi-retired. But, he says he plays an electronic kit, I know the higher-end kits can sound quite good, but on the odd occasions I've seen bands play live with an electronic kit, something just seems to be lacking sound wise, and they just don't look right. Is it just me? I would be interested to hear of your experiences of drummers using electronic kits.

At the age of fifteen I borrowed £15 from my older (working) sister to buy a Burns Sonic bass, at the time I was in a band which we formed whilst still at school. We weren't that good and I didn't really know anybody who could give me a few tips or lessons on how to play bass properly, and there were no YouTube videos to turn to back in the mid-60's, so after about six months, the band disbanded, I swapped my Burns bass for some fishing gear and that was it until I reached the age of 55 when I was asked if I was interested in forming a band just for fun, so I said okay I will play bass but I will only be able to play root notes. It turned out that the guys I was playing with were actually quite good musicians and they gradually pulled me up to a decent level, and now at the age of 72 (ouch), I can play almost anything I'm asked and feel I could walk into most bands and do a good job. But, I do regret NOT playing at all between the ages of 15 and 55 because I do wonder that if I had continued, I probably would have succeeded at a much younger age and enjoyed many years of gigging in my youth, maybe creating our own music, and enjoying all the perks that go with it, but all I've really experienced of being in bands and gigging is being in "dad" bands, and knocking out covers of the bands we all enjoyed listening to many year's ago.

This is my home practise rig, it's a Warwick Gnome I Pro 280w Pocket Bass Amp going into a Barefaced One10, as you can see, it takes up very little room, it sounds great at low volume, it has a USB port so you can play along with tracks, it also has a headphone socket for quiet practising, and if I do need to play live in public, then unless it's an extremely loud gig, this should more than handle most situations.

I only use P basses which are usually my own builds and I always check them over before leaving home, and providing you treat them well and don't knock them around, what can go wrong with a P bass? I always carry a small holdall packed with spare "used" strings, a spare small amp head, a DI pedal, leads, straps, 9v batteries for my Boss tuner, spare clip-on tuner, tool kit, etc.. but I have never needed to use any of them myself, but the guitarists in the band do appreciate my "spares" bag because they never seem to check over their gear before leaving home, or have much in the way of spares themselves.

YouTube Bass Play-Alongs and Bass Tracks + TABS
thebrig replied to Bart Funk Bass's topic in General Discussion
Great video's Bart, can I ask what software do you use to create the on-screen tabs? Thanks -
Neck pocket is Fender P and J dimensions, I fitted a fender neck to the body and it was a perfect fit. -
Thanks, I'm so pleased with them.
