I've had to do a fair bit of odd time stuff and I found I was okay when sticking to ostinato but when I tried to deviate from it I'd mess up or at least doubt myself so I worked out another rythm that fit the time sig first just tapping it against a metronome then working out a phrase on the bass using it, gradually I added more phrases and eventually they became part of my vocabulary and I was able to feel more free in that time sig For me just feeling it didn't work because 4/4 is so indelibly ingrained , it took a lot of specific practice Try transcribing some Larry Grenadier with Brad Mehldau trio, they sound so free in odd times yet it's unerringly strong and accurate

I think 2 12s work really well together (especially 8ohm ones)and is enough oomph for any stage and I bought one first and it was a nightmare finding another blue one at the time so I think it would be harder to sell the remaining cab if one went first for that reason I've seen stuff on TB saying pairs of 12s are more than twice as good as one on it's own and I know what they mean I'm not generally against splitting rigs up as you can see I put my Mesa head in a separate thread but a pair of 12s in a limited edition colour I think are better together

Pair of Aguilar SL112 blue bossa limited edition with covers (one Aguilar one hotcovers) These things weigh in at a Featherlight 11.4kg each and what blew me away was how much low end extension there is for such a light cab Absolutely won't split No postage There's one little nick in the covering on one cab (pictured)but other than that they're immaculate I'm in crystal palace but I travel loads for gigs so try me for a motorway meet up or drop off I'm also selling a Mesa Boogie m-pulse 600 which matches very nicely with the blue light!

Can a genzler Magellan run down to 2ohms, I know it has the 2.67ohm switch for running 3 8ohm cabs but I'm thinking bout getting one and I occasionally use 2 4ohm cabs would that work?

Transposing will work for some stuff but rock tunes in E assuming you've got a 4 string will sound weak

Low tension, bright string suggestions

Thanks for the tip off, next time I see one on a gig I'll be blasting out the birdie song mid tune

I thought the med. helicores were a bit like spiro mittels , maybe a touch less tension , pretty bright string , zyex medium are a lot lower tension , possibly one of the lowest tension metal strings? I like zyex on one of my basses, they have some of the sustain of metal core strings but are a little bit thumpier and easier to get moving

"What's all this about him being ill" It's only people speculating about why he has said all this stuff,I don't think he's ill personally .I think he's a loose cannon though ,that's some of the best scandalous gossip I've ever heard!

I think it's possible his judgement is impaired by illness but I also think it's possible he just doesn't care , he's done it all , nothing to prove and slightly unaware of how stuff circulates in this digital age and I found it quite refreshing hearing someone talking that openly not to mention some of the best anecdotes I've ever heard . I say fairplay Quincy
