Recent JMB Ad: Our Singer is a Douche.......
police squad replied to yorks5stringer's topic in General Discussion
I think you've probably nailed it there. 😂 -

Ok you fantastic bunch I already do my 80s duo. I use a Vox Tonelab or my guitar and it works very well I'm shortly to be starting a 70s/80s/90s glam duo. Similar thing, backing tracks with guitars and bass removed. What can my bass player use (actually it's Mrs Police Squad, she's a mighty fine player, plays with a pick, no pedals) We'll just go into the Allen and Heath desk, then into QSC K12s. She loves the Ampeg thing (Still uses a PF500 when gigging normally) TIA

Recent JMB Ad: Our Singer is a Douche.......

I don't understand why singers don't have their own PA system We have our own amps/guitars/basses (& mics) so why don't they I have an awesome PA (I am also a singer) QSC K12s plus Ksubs and Allen and Heath Desk. you don't need to spend what I did to get decent sounding kit I would never join a band if the singer didnt have a PA. -
I played in Crete a few years ago. We were still in the EU at the time I took the neck off my P bass and put both bits in my suitcase. Reassembled when I arrived at my hotel, no problem Did the same going home You shouldn't have any customs problems but make sure you have proof of ownership, perhaps the UK receipt, if you still have it

HW makes lovely basses. If I wanted such a bass, it would be HW all the way

time for me to try 6 music then I listen to greatest hits radio atm. Mostly good ex radio 1/2 presenters, music gets a bit samey but occasionally they play a belter will have a go at 6 tomorrow

Something different required. Hofner or...?
police squad replied to Rusty Spanner's topic in Bass Guitars
my hofner ct violin bass has a very slim neck. La Bella deep talking bass flats. Thump and thud personally I'd like to try a cavern bass. I think I would prefer the position of the back pickup, being closer to the neck That said, JMJ Mustang all the way for me these days. -
I went 45-100 with the Fender flats. They actually feel really nice, when sat down noodling away. The proof will be on a gig or a rehearsal. As mentioned, it's actually as a backup to my JMJ. cheers everybody

It will. I was blown away with it on my first gig And second And third
-
I once had a pickup go open circuit on a precision. No spare bass. I always carry a spare now, I've never needed it. I dont carry a spare guitar on my duo gigs though, perhaps I should. But I only play about half the set on guitar, as it's 80s. There's a lot of songs without guitar in this set
-
Every time I pick up my JMJ mustang, I smile. I've had it a couple of years now. I would try a vintera but for me, there's no need. P bass player for 33+ years. now, mustang all the way
-
I have a Vintage 335 a-like. It has a 'Rich-wood' fingerboard. Apparently man made IIRC. When my local Tech set it up, he said he thought it was wood and maybe they were lying about it. Whatever....................it's a good playing and sounding guitar. Used it a lot during lockdown one. Don't know about the others but I would definately try one if I had too
-
nice job, should be a blast. Good choice of guitar too!!

I sorted my own pressies this year. I had a budget of around 500 quid. so, ebay, Ashdown RM Evo 4x10 8 ohm, just over 100 quid, almost new and virtually immaculate. (I gave the bloke £140 becuase he met me half way) an awesome little cab Boss CE2 1981 black label. £240. Again absolutely amazing sound Fender flats, like what are fitted to the JMJ mustang, for my bitsa P bass, (backup to JMJ for my new Americana band, details to be released when I'm allowed to) and a fkn cold!! fabbo

I have it on an USA region dvd (except zepplin, which I have watched since. A shame, Plant was on tour at the time and he was exhausted) It was a really great day, my friend had an all day party. We had it on all day, it was fabulous. I really liked Julian Lennon's set

I've stopped doing NYE now, last year was stinky poo. Fireworks annoy my dog, so I'd rather stay home these days. If you are gigging this NYE, ENJOY and have a great time

What is the most you'd personally pay for a new bass?
police squad replied to lidl e's topic in Bass Guitars
it's funny isn't it. The older I get, the less I need to spend, even though prices are going up. I remember 20 years ago, how much a custom shop Les Paul was. I thought it was mental. But I eventually paid 1800 quid for a reissue '57 CS (18 years ago) 1500 for a PRS signature from 89. 2000 for a Slash AFD 12 years ago. all were more than a months wages at the time. I have a brian May 'super' on order £3295 IIRC. Mad mad money lol but not basses 1500 tops lol -
Herbie Flowers jazz bass. Iconic for me
