police squad

I'll try and remember to listen in

at the moment, I used bass amp + cab and IEMs The bass always goes into the desk, so I could ditch the bass amp I can't play without ear protection now, loud is too painful. I cant stand next to acoustic drums, so always have my moulded earplugs The gig I did on saturday, the DJ was SSSOOOOOOO LOUD. My IEM mix was dreadful. They gave us 30 minutes to set up and do a line check FOH sounded great. My bass sound in my ears was dreadful, couldnt hear the keys very well etc but got through it ok what I really like with the IEM, is that I can hear my bass so well, sounding wonderful and I don't hit the strings so hard, so I play better The drummer in my Police trib was IEM but he's stopped atm, which means I can't go ampless yet

doesnt he have his bass high up

yes it's a roland bass synth bass thru a dynachord combo IIRC

this will be after, you've 'licked road clean, wit tongue'🤣

is it any good for metal

I bouight a jazz bass neck from Aliexpress it turned up, has a fender decal and usa serial number I will attached it to a body in the next few months and see how it goes it looks and feels nice I bought a similar one from ebay and have actually gigged with it. It set up well, so I'll leave it be for now

here's a vid of the bass in action. Excuse the wafty playing. I've never actually learned to play this song and I was 5 or 6 pints in by now https://www.facebook.com/TheBellInnShepherdswell/videos/1713580365912285

now I have it, it's growing on me. I didnt like the pickguard at first They both play really well

nice, thank you interesting editing. During the middle 8 in I will follow, there's a shot of The Edge with a strat still cant see the logo my question still, a jazz neck, maple with dots!!

when you say jazz bass logo, what kind? The 70s TV logo? jazz with dots?

I have 2 mark bass cabs 1x15 club and 2x10 club very occasionally I'll use both but stick with the 15 generally, (lighter and PA support) There's an ashdown RM 4x10 too which comes out on bigger stages

wow, just wow

lovely bass, very aggresive tone. scooped. Very loud it is I will probably change the pickup and wire it like a P bass but it needs proper strings, it's strung with weedy things the reverso is the same

it is a quarter pounder yes

I'll try this tonight, thanks

I'll find out tonight and report back

As you know I've joined a U2 tribute Here's another Adam Clayton bass It has such a low action Weird passive bass and treble controls. What should I do with them, leave them fully up? I'll gig it tonight with a mates band that I'm depping with

shame, on my list to come and see you. Did have tickets for Sonning but something else has come up

are you playing The Mill at Sonning?

yep, defo worth a go

are you familiar with Andy Crockett in Shottenden? He's semi retired but might do it

I've just watched it wow, what a garden and what a story

I have an HT1R guitar amp it's very good The guitarist in the U2 trib I'm in, has two St. James 50 heads, into two 2x12 cabs with neo speakers an amazing rig that weighs nothing I may, at some point, try some Blackstar bass gear but I have been extremely happy with my Ashdown RM500

I've just got home from my first U2 Tribe gig It was at The Horn in St Albans What a lovely venue, superb sound man. Had a nice IEM mix too The crowd was amazing, singing along from the start. Our singer knows how to work the audience I was nervous as it was my first gig with them, we've not managed a rehearsal either. I did really well, yes some mistakes, lost my way occasionally but sterling work from The Edge got me back to where I needed to be but mainly I nailed most of it Looking forward to the next one in Derby
