there's probably forums for singers, like basschat but that's another can of worms quite possibly

The 945 is closer proximity than the 935 ( I was informed when I researched going wireless) but sound wise it is better than the shure. I also realised that the choice of mixing desk makes a massive difference too.

thanks for your input @Cuzzie always used sm/beta58s but now using sennheiser 945 live I have good mic technique I think. I actually enjoy singing more than playing these days keep the tips coming folks, I'm sure we'll all learn something here

As you know (well some of you), I'm Sting in a Police tribute band But I'm also in an 80s duo. Very varied set list, from Kraftwerk to Bon Jovi. We use modified backing tracks, live keys and live guitar During this current lockdown, I've decided to learn to sing some different stuff, starting with Bucks Fizz (don't laugh, I'm serious) I love the song 'now those days are gone' This was the only single to feature Mike Nolan as lead singer. I can hit all the notes but it's the softness in his voice I am struggling with. I am singing, stood up, mic in Mic stand, standing tall. It's too rocky this way. Then, after about 2 hours, removed the mic and slouched a bit. Slightly bent over and there it was. A softer timbre in my voice. Has anyone got any other tips here. I've been singing since I started playing bass 39 years ago but I've never thought about the singing techniques, I've just sung I've lost a stone and a half in the past six months and my voice has really improved, more power and I've recovered just over a semi-tone in my range. What does the singing collective have to help

great show, with a lot of talent I voted for Since September. Bass player and guitarist with the flying V, they really had the swagger. I'd go and see them

Both Frida and Agnetta from Abba Klaus from the Scorpions

Neil's a fab player. Groove and taste. Phil Hilbourne introduced me to him at a music show and he's very nice to boot. What's not to like

ampeg or RM will be perfect. I have both. I use a 1x15 cab mainly but for bigger gigs add a 2x10. I mostly di into the pa too There is a cracking RM combo and can for sale in the classifieds @AndyTravis

yep, did a rock covers band in the 90s, for 6 years. We did about 600 gigs together. And 2 years ago, we reformed for my 50th birthday party. We sounded really good then and at my party we were great. It was like we had never been away. Also been in 2 bands with my wife playing bass, whilst I was on guitar. Great fun. In our 2nd band, the other singer was married to the other guitar player and their son, (Kieran from BGT) was on drums. This was a fantastic band until Kieran left. Now we don't get on. Shame really, life's too short to get too bogged down with it all

how is it tuned please?

I use a couple of smaller versions of this case. They are great. Solid plastic bottom, they don't rip. Really good solution

Sold a flight case to Colin. He paid immediately via paypal friends etc. Great comms and a really top chap Many thanks

I de-fretted a USA vintage re-issue P bass in about 1991. I bought it from soho soundhouse, complete with an emg pickup and expander tone circuit. Pulled the frets out at work, with pliers and filled the slots with a tube of plastic wood. No sanding, it was just perfect. Used to use it on one song. So I had it refretted and sold it. Utter madness, I was young and stupid, now I'm just stupid

I looked at the website of the luthier who did the work. He says he had to do the work to make it properly playable

I saw 'It Bites' headline at Folkestone. This is when Calling all the heroes was still in the charts. I had their album, 'The big lad in the windmill' They played the whole album and did an encore, which was calling all the heroes, for the 2nd time. They were fabulous

+1 for Ashdown. That's how to run a company
