What's your 'Hey, the bass player's here' lick?

Captain Pugwash theme tune gets em every time. -
Are you suggesting that it's a Pope pre-amp? 😉
-
Pronounced like this guy. Except he's The Moog. The definite article.
-
And then there's EUBs....

Fresh air has helped. I've had the instrument hanging in a well-ventilated room. The case may well end up being left out in the sun when warmer weather comes. ! Just remembered! I put my Warwick in that case. I'd better retrieve it before that smells bad, too!
-
Agreed. Or maybe a Warwick Thumb?
-
Or maybe even the Rick..

Except its not from the 80's

Trace Elliot 1x15" NOW buy 1 get one free

Should be. I believe the 1048 and these (1518??) are the same enclosure, but with a different baffle, driver, grille and (hopefully) differently tuned ports. The 2103 and 1153 were definitely the same box. -

Wear long sleeves to avoid carpet burns to the insides of your elbows! -
Great amps. I would.... But way too far away and too heavy even for me to bounce into the car. GLWTS. -
Be that a Stronglight chainset?

With the notable exception of so-called "Christmas Songs"

As per the title, recommend and discuss alternative bass choices for your favourite famous bassists based on... well, anything really! (Credit for this idea due to a picture of Tony Levin playing a Dingwall) I'll kick off with; Someone get Dave Ellefson (ex-Megadeth) a Musicman Bongo. I think the tone would suit him down to the ground.

Nor have I. Mk1 in my case, though.

As per @Waddo Soqable , I use a capo on a 4-string in D standard. Naturally, it frequently resides at the second fret for E Standard, but has been known to move further up, for "Barbarism begins at home", as an example, or if I need a pedal tone that's further up but out of reach unless I tap. Gives a good compromise that covers a lot of ground.

It'd be better if it were one of those little clip-on LED lamps, so you could play in the dark. And if it had a strobe mode... well, the possibilities are endless.

Felix!

Not a big FX user. But. There's a dogma that suggests that drives and distortions go before the pre (or head) and that modulation fx go in the FX loop ( IF there is one) However... do you envisage using the synth and distortion together? The synth will probably be wanting a nice, clean signal to help it track properly, so needs to go before the others if they're going to be used together.

If you don't like valves, you could get one of them fancy Nortons with a rotary engine.

Bassists who don't play their own signature basses
Lfalex v1.1 replied to Beedster's topic in General Discussion
I thought the Garage Days EP cover bass was a Sadowsky minus the headstock decal... could be wrong though. Otherwise, I do believe Billy Sheehan plays factory Yamaha Attitude BS sig instruments. Having owned one, I can see why. The (MIJ) build quality is exemplary. Didn't get on with the tone, though. Maybe John Myung uses "factory" Bongos. His is pretty niche, though. -
It is. Not that blue/gold abomination that they did!
-
Beat me to it. My first bass was a Raider 1. I still have it, though !
-
Ah.. they're about £1200 new. Sorry.
-
I think the MTD Super 5 would be worth a look.
