    Don't eat any of the big cake at the front of the room and don't slap the kids when they run about the stage during the break(the parents don't like it and they're usually plastered by that point)!

    Any suggestions for a good compressor unit?

    I think my problem has been that for most of my playing career I've been a bass player/lead vocalist and by the time i've set up the PA there's been very little time to mess about with my amp. I guess I should find a decent compressor(the TC compressor is just a one knob level adjustment) and take my bass amp to a practice room and just mess about with it at gig volume.

    My current amp(TC Electronics BH500) has compression and that was one of the main reasons why I bought it but it still can't match the sound of a compressed audio track played through my PA. The compression used on studio tracks must be better I guess?

    I've been playing bass guitar for about 20 years and this problem has puzzled me for all of that time. Why is it that no matter what power bass rig I use, it never sounds as loud or as powerful as a bass line played on a recorded track played through my PA system. I have also tried my bass DI'd through the PA and that is nowhere near as powerful as a recorded track played through the same PA.

    I have no problem getting a nice tone on my bass amp at low volume but it always breaks up when I try to push it to a giggable volume.

    This has brought me close to packing in playing live bass a number of times and has caused me to chop and change my bass and amp set up on a regular basis.

    Anyone else had this problem?

    Fender Precision with Musicman Pickup Modification

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I was chatting to the Bassdoc this morning as he was seting up a bass for me and I asked him if he'd ever built a precision bodied bass with a musicman pickup.

    He said he done a modification to an existing Fender Precision with a 2 band eq but he didn't have any photos.

    Does anyone out there have any photos of a Fender Precision with a musicman pickup fitted so I can see what it might look like if I get this done?

    Cheers
