I have seldom felt as awkward as when signing autographs for punters after a tribute gig.

So you're new to Basschat and Paul S is offering something for sale at a too good to be true price. What do you do? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'll tell you what you do You buy it, with complete confidence and peace of mind. You see Paul S is as reliable, honest and decent a fellow as you're ever likely to deal with.

The only tribs I have been in have been graciously treated by the band that went before them. On three different occasions original members came on stage with us and played a few numbers. In fact not long after playing with us they reformed and made a comeback! Not every super famous musician feels threatened by a tribute.

You are indeed not alone! My car tetrus skills would be legendary if other people got as excited about them as I do. My greatest achievement was probably the two blokes and a full drum kit in a kia picanto.

My eyes my eyes

never had this from a fellow bassist. Not the same but, I have been told not to touch our keyboard player's Nord. Tried to help him out with his gear after rehearsal and he objected to my handling skills. As we rehearse down a flight of stone steps, I couldn't be happier with the arrangement.

Interparcel fined me for sending a bass, in a hardcase, but for not putting the whole lot in cardboard. I had wrapped the case in plastic, but this was unacceptable.

Not really shallow at all. Overhanging amps would, I'm sure, have been made Illegal by now if this whole EU/Covid crisis hadn't caused the government to take their eye off the ball.

I like my 2 BF 15 inch cabs. Sure 2 12s might be just as good but the dimensions of the cabs are perfect for me. The head sits at a nice height, and with no overhang.

Not to worry, that's a really solid piece of kit you have coming.

Zoom for sale...

Well. I've been at it again. This time I'm playing with a compressor at the start of the chain and a limiter at the end. The limiter isn't terribly good, one of the few Behringer stomps I've ever had an issue with. I have the Boss version on the way, so hopefully I'll get better results. I was working on a song with a plectrum and it's a bit of a head banger so I was really digging in, hitting open strings simultaneously with their fretted equivalents. There's one break featuring a line of single notes higher up the fretboard, which was very weedy. The comp at the start, limiter at the end really did help keep the whole thing more together. Once again it only really seems to notice when playing with a track. Anyway it's fun learning to use these things properly. Let's face it I've llareggub else to do!

Hi PT sorry I missed this. This was my final pre national self harm purchase.

mine is made by M-audio and costs around 17 quid. Has never let me down.

I don't fit in either camp here! I love all the old Trace gear I have ever owned and still use some of it, good sound is good sound to me regardless of when am amp was built. But I also love the Elf, in its own right. So much more than it ought to be in such a tiny package. I'd gig with it without hesitation.

in Rough Notes he speaks of a positive review FOR his line in EDIWTB. And it is perfection to my ears

Ha! I skimmed over all that.

@Dad3353 not going to 'fix' this one?

Nope. Nothing to do with noobieness. I got half way through a rehearsal the other day before I worked out what the hell was wrong with my sound 🤦🏼‍♂️

Don't understand. What's being advertised?

Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely the Profile for me. But I recommend that you get both 😎 Bass Collection instruments are excellent.

Yes! I had the same combination and it was so good.

Interesting. That's such a great album, the bass is especially important.
