    I've got a regular gig and I have to go through the PA , used to be upright but now with distancing in mind the management want electric so I've been using a jazz bass, it sounds a bit zingy and thin through straight into a DI box so wondered what people reckoned about a pre pedal to beef it up ?

    Great news , and I've been listening to Gary all day so some good came of the cruel hoax!

    I'd say the jazz is much closer to 60s lake placid blue and I doubt that with poly finishes your basses would of changed colour that much, is it weird how much they vary and age differently though when you compare pics of pre cbs instruments

    Haha , no purely kitchen based, Can't find the tongs then no problem just play double bass for a living for 20years and you'll have such thick skin on your fingertips you can dip em in boiling oil and not feel it!

    Did it yesterday, went pretty well , the skin on my 2nd finger is so thick from all the long gigs on upright (great for turning sausages) I think only the bottom bit will peel and 1st finger is fine , been playing bass guitar and all good ,thanks for the advice guys

    Hmm , thanks for the advice , think I'm gonna pop cos I think they'll burst on a gig and better to do it with a clean needle than a dirty old bass string??

    1st gig on upright today since March and I've got dirty great blisters on my 1st and 2nd fingers, got a rehearsal on upright on Thursday, gig on electric Thursday night and a gig on upright on Saturday . I've played most days for the last 20 years so I haven't had em since I started , what do you guys reckon?

    Wow Free sound amazing and there's a bass solo from Andy Fraser 33.15

    For me that's a great feel , sound and technique for a 10 year old , looks like he's loving it too, why all the hate?

    I only really play fender basses , it's weird how 1lb makes such a difference to my perception of the weight, it can't much make that much difference can it 9.5 heavy 9 medium 8.5 light

    Mesa d800 fits the bill

    Seems odd that this was on the BBC news front page , "the kick drum pedal has yet to recovered" alongside all sorts of hideous crimes and important stuff !!

    Yes mate, so many people get this wrong
  15. spencer.b
    Where's your tone control at?

    I've gigged loads for the last 20 years and very rarely seen lockable storage big enough for a bass within a dressing room, if ever actually

    I think I do disagree about the rounds

    What are ramps for then? the block of wood between the pickups

    There's a house Double Bass too now

    If you do drive try Soho Square , there's a fair few pay by phone bays that are free after 6 30 , if there's nothing there go north of Oxford Street around Berners place , parking round there is not quite as bad as you might think

    I bought with all the mods already done, from what I've read about these the pups are okay but a good quality one is a big upgrade for not that much money, it's had the pup cavity shielded too
