    I had an audition with a band who's singer had come from musical theatre and wanted to branch out into function gigs. I have never met anyone more musically oblivious. Every song required MJ style ad-libs, counted us in with completely arbitrary speeds (and he had to count us in, couldn't possibly let the drummer do it) to the extent he wants Higher Ground at about 250bpm and looked at me funny when I started it at the speed he counted in, and could not learn lyrics to save his life. The cherry on top was playing "Suck My Kiss" where he rattled through the lyrics without taking a breath, somehow finishing the song before the band had gotten through the first chorus! He then proceeded to look at us like "what are you guys doing, the song is over?" as we continued through the rest of the song. Suffice to say I declined to join.

    I probably haven't played my Warwick Thumb in a gig or studio setting for over 10 years. It was a gift from my late father, and my first professional instrument so I'm never getting rid of it; I just don't click with it like I used to

    The LMII is one of my favourite amps of all time, pity I already have one! Glwts

    D'Addario do a gig backpack, but it isn't cheap: https://www.daddario.com/products/accessories/backline-cases/backline-transport-pack/

    These sound fantastic, if I had another jazz bass I would pick this up in a second, glwts

    I used to strive for that super clean sound, but discovered the best clean sound in the mix (for me) was slightly furry(?), or hairy. Slightly overdriven, but the distortion gets lost in the mix, so instead it just sounds warm and rounds off the edge of "sparkly clean".

    Given the absurd cost of pedals recently (see: Tech21 XB Driver @£599), that somehow doesn't feel too horrible

    I assume it was this bad boy?

    that'll do what you're looking for

    The GED 2112 is an awesome bit of kit
  11. Killerfridge
    Oof, that is one sexy beast

    Is this the sort of thing that you're looking for? https://jamm.rocks/adult-workshops (For conflict of interest purposes, I run this!)
  13. Killerfridge
    That's an absolute bargain, glwts

    Up for sale is my much loved DI 2112. For those unaware, essentially it is two SansAmp RPM preamps being run in parallel: the "Deep" and the "Drive". Deep is preset to a solid thick clean sound (with a saturation control), and the Drive section is the full RPM preamp. This then feeds 5 outputs (Deep XLR, Deep 1/4", Drive XLR, Drive 1/4", 1 pass through/tuner out) giving lots of routing options. You can also combine the two sections within the pedal via a little switch accessible through the battery compartment (it runs off of 2 x 9v, or an 18v DC input - not included). It's a really versatile preamp, not just for Geddy style rush sounds - one of my favourite sounds is to set the Drive section to be "mids only" - kill the bass and treble, push the mids and the drive to give a really creamy mid-range, but still leaving the clarity from the Deep section. There are also various switches (mute, pad etc.), but the best is the "tight" switch, which just turns the drive into a super focused sound. So why am I selling given how good this is? I've moved to a Quad Cortex setup, and as much as I love running this in parallel I just can't justify it. I've also go another little one on the way, and I could do with the extra cash! It's in near perfect condition (other than the velcro on the bottom, which I can remove if you like), with the original box. I can post for an additional £10, or collection from East Grinstead.

    I don't think I would recommend the Tonehammer DI for modern sounding DI; it's got quite a vintagey sound. Maybe look at the Aguilar AG preamp?

    Billy Sheehan fan at all? Mine is currently at my Mum's (Peavey Milestone III) where it has been for the last 15 years. Pulled all the frets out of it as soon as I heard Jaco; I should probably pick it up at some point (although the G string machinehead is knackered)
  17. Killerfridge
    I absolutely adore this, I have a naked honey burst Stingray too, and this is calling to me...
  18. Killerfridge
    My pleasure - gorgeous looking setup, good luck with the sale
  19. Killerfridge
    Might want to post this in "Amps and Cabs" rather than basses
  20. Killerfridge
    OK, that sounds the part (or at least close enough) and doesn't look as "obese" in the hand. Really like the sound of the single cut too:
  21. Killerfridge
    Good luck getting it back; Overwaters are definitely a bucket list instrument for me, but never the one I currently need
  22. Killerfridge
    Oh that's cool, having NE attached should be a big pull. I honestly think they underpriced these; I reckon we would see more out there if they were 1.5-2x the price
  23. Killerfridge
    If I hadn't done exactly the same thing a year or so ago, I would be taking this from you no questions asked!
  24. Killerfridge
    Correct, assuming you don't want to capture the sound of the cab/mic too
  25. Killerfridge
    I was eyeing this one up, so I'm glad I haven't got to make any tough decisions any more! Beautiful bass, I'd love to see a video or two!
