Thanks for cutting me off! Ha! Added myself back in now. 1. Rich - Trace Elliot TE-1200 amp, Barefaced Super 12T cab, earplugs , Shuker custom 5, Tanglewood TRB-CE acoustic bass gtr. 2. Woody - Rickenbacker 4004-L5, maybe Sei Flamboyant, Same old basschat 12" with some amp, other stuff TBC 3. Pinball (tbc) - some interesting basses 4. Stubsy - Joyo BadASS, GRBASS AT212 slim - only 50W but that should give 120dB at one metre 😇. (or I bring my TE 1110 combo). Some fun pedals. Perhaps the AVII 1960 precision, the Sire P10 and maybe the Fender Performer and something unexpected... 5.

Plus whatever I might be selling at the time. 6. Rosie - likely I'll bring my upright, set up for bluegrass/folk/jazz if anyone's not played upright before and fancies a go 7. Phil - BassChat cabs, maybe some sort of shootout? 8. MikeD - Laney Digbeth, Zilla 212, Dingwall Combusion, Revelation PJ, pedals, try to finish home made bass🤞🤞🤞🤞 9. neepheid - G&L CLF L-1000, Yamaha BB1200, Sire D5, Sire Z7, Greco LGB-700, Reverend Triad, Epiphone Les Paul (not so) Standard, Epiphone Thunderbird '64, Squier Jaguar H (with Ibanez CAP double humbucker from ATK200/800 etc), Gear4Music rat bass (with Lace Aluma-P), £150 giggable bass challenge, 1 or 2 amps depending upon space...

Pino Palladino Signature Stingray
Wolverinebass replied to TransistorBassMan's topic in Bass Guitars
I think that as Ernie Ball have doing mad prices for everything post covid, I'm surprised the normal one is actually less than 4 grand. It's robbery of course, but considering the players who have famously played Stingrays and maybe not been made enough of, one could argue a Pino signature is somewhat overdue? However, all things aside, I wouldn't get one. Not because I've not spent more than that on a bass, but just because I think it's a minor tweak to a mass produced instrument with a name badge and an extra 1500 quid added to the price. That being said, isn't everyone doing it now? There's much more egregious examples of it about. Anything by Gibson for example. -

In that case, I'll bring that. It's a curious bass as I had it made so you can use it either stereo or mono. Much like a Rickenbacker or Series Alembic. It's not as hard to play as some people might think if you put your arm on the wing a la John Entwistle as I am in the photo. I kind of didn't want to bring an instrument that you couldn't buy anymore (like the Status buzzard or Warmoth 8 string Explorer) and as Grainger will make that for you if you wish, it seems like the best way to go.

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is a mishmash of Noel and Paul Stacey playing bass. Noel plays Go Let It Out.
-
I thought Go Let It Out wasn't very good to be honest and I saw them on that tour at Murrayfield in 2000. They played pretty much the same set that they played at Cardiff the other day. An old one. They lost relevance post 1996 with awful material and terribly produced albums. It's not like I don't like them as a band per se, but they've released much more crap material than great.
-
Well, most of my collection is a bit mental so I'll list the more weird ones. I'll list them in "declining pointy order" if you want. Pictures to hand of the first 2 if you want a laugh. Status John Entwistle Buzzard Grainger Hades 8 string Explorer 12 string Hamer Alembic Stanley Clarke Alembic Series 1 Wal Mk 2

See, I'm sick of that crap and there's nothing "modern" about it. It's almost as if virtuoso or groundbreaking bass players have never existed. We've retreated (or been relegated) to a role that the bass should have escaped by the 60s. Oasis isn't a bass player band anyway, but Andy Bell is probably the best guitarist in that band and he's not even playing guitar. Can't have Noel feel inferior can we?
-
Thanks. I'll try not to be. Can't promise anything of course as I am a belligerent Scot. If you still have it by that time, I'd be very interested in playing your Epiphone Les Paul actually as I think it looks fantastic. It'd certainly be good to meet you and the rest of the peeps properly. Naturally, getting the train, I'd be travelling light, so one bass, possibly a small amp and maybe a few pedals. I don't know what folk would be interested in trying that I own as since quite a lot of it is "pointy," or dare I say it, "mental," it does sometimes put people off.
-
Nice work and very creative. However, you will have to try harder to get an endorsement deal from EBS I fear.
-
Due to the lack of a SE Bash for the last few years I wondered, would it be okay to attend this out of region? Anyone going from London? Not that I can book train tickets for another few weeks yet.
-
You're certainly not going to show the kids "this is what you can sound like if you're any good," that's for sure.
-
Thanks @stevie. This was exactly what I was getting at. This is my goal as well. Have a cab which basically sounds exactly like the DI. I have tried various cabs and the closest I've ever got to this is my Vanderkley 2x12. Even that isn't quite the same to the exact details. As you say, the graph is of course subject to the mic position and all the other factors such as room reflections. I'm not sure if the idea of having the DI feed being the same as the mic'd cab is practically attainable or even possible, but it's in an ideal world what I want. My question was a roundabout way of asking if one doesn't know how to mic the cab properly, how can anyone say what goes out is what has went in?
-
I played the Monaco at the last SE Bash which was now some time ago. It was really good as I used the TE1200 and @Merton ACG. I hope this doesn't constitute a thread derail, but I'm curious about a few things. Are there any bigger cabs in the works? Like a 2x12? Also, as the crossover point seems to be very low and in the 1.5kHz region, how does one mic the cab to record it? All the snap and attack will be from the horn. Just curious really.

Cowardly and underhand band politics...
Wolverinebass replied to solo4652's topic in General Discussion
Oh yeah. I've had that. In fact, if anyone in a band I'm in uses the word "woke" as a pejorative term, it's a pretty good marker of there being some other shady stuff going on under the hood and you've just seen the tip of the iceberg. This view has been proved right every single time as there will be follow ups in varying degrees of misogyny, racism and the like which I'm never going to dig on.
