I’m wondering that too. My suspicion is that the tape used for the bass track stretched or was otherwise somehow compromised.

We play this in my band. It’s a real struggle to stay awake. Even worse than the Glenn Miller stuff we also have to trot out at every gig.

Did you not get the memo, 12 is the new 11.

We used to have one of these in our house. A Hammond Regent. Spent many hours on it, unfortunately before I could read music.

Dave Siebels with the astonishing Big Phat Band. The Hammond is the funkiest keys sound ever, along with the Fender Rhodes.

Bit of a silly phrase. An Americanism. I meant maxed out.

I’ve learnt a lot recently about EQ. You do not need to dime the bass control just because it’s a bass guitar. A great tone in isolation doesn’t neccesarily mean that tone will also sound good with a band. Don’t be afraid of the mids. It is perfectly acceptable to cut frequencies; don’t assume that boosting surrounding frequencies will have the same effect. The tone control on a passive bass does not need to remain fully open at all times. It can be very useful, so use it.

I think I once saw a Draugr wielding one of those in Skyrim.

Also, people pay hundreds for the roadworn effect. People could pay you to play their basses to get the same effect ‘au naturale’😁

Why not indeed! Surely though, if you’re in the sort of band where you wear a bullet belt, then the bass should be waaaay below the belt line! 😁😂😜

I’ve been at the wrong end of mild hostility before and it’s not pleasant. I do my utmost to try and diffuse the situation myself. More often than not, other BCers will also help to diffuse. Also more often than not, it’s a case of the wrong end of the stick or a simple misunderstanding. 😁

I’ll have this!! Pm incoming!
