    Apologies if this is something that has already been covered on multiple threads (but hasn’t most stuff?) But, I’m looking for 1/4” cable recommendations, AND XLR recommendations, preferably a company that offers some warranty on the products. We’ve been smashing through Fender guitar leads over the past 12 months and we’ve been having a few issues with XLR’s and I realise it’s probably because we just replace cheap rubbish with more cheap rubbish. So, I need to upgrade our cables. Any recommendations appreciated. TIA, Alex

    Ha, you’ve triggered a forgotten memory! As teenagers, we supported a rock covers band in Darlaston. My dad drove us all home to Telford. When the guitarist got home and went to take his £150 Epiphone Les Paul Special out of it’s generic Gator case, he couldn’t believe his luck… It had transformed into a rather ugly but very expensive Parker Fly. A few phone calls later and my poor Dad was in the car on the way back to Darlaston. Safe to say the guitarist was a mix of relieved and frustrated. he’d only had it a few weeks as an anniversary present if I remember rightly, and had spent about 2 hours in uproar thinking it had been stolen!

    For the duo stuff I can highly recommend the RCF Jmix 8. We also use a J8 alongside it but the Jmix8 has done the job on its own plenty of times too 👍

    Thanks. I’ll take a look. Down the line I think I’ll try a few different sets and see what I land on. I’m just trying to enjoy it as it is at the moment but I’ll get round it at some point. That said, i think I said the same thing about my Jazz Bass and I’ve still not changed them. I bought that in 2003 😅

    Well, I finally got the Pickguard/scratchplate/Bit of clear plastic off (whatever it’s called)… I like it a lot. I might try the card trick as mentioned by @ezbass with some black card to see how it looks down the line but I do like it off for now. Got to say, I’m really enjoying this bass. The neck is superb! It’s a joy to play. As previously mentioned, the tone doesn’t blow me away and I’ll likely swap out the pickups in the future for something with more ‘growl’, but it does have its own unique sound, albeit a little reserved. I’ve committed myself to learn to read music this year outside of my gig stuff. And, I’m getting half decent. But, after getting this, it’s been like starting again. But, I’m really enjoying the process of learning, by forcing myself to fret more notes rather than open strings which is helping me familiarise with the B string more. Anyway, life story over, this thing is cool!

    If anyone needs to fuel their GAS for this bass. Marco Ronquillo has recently got one of these and they sound very, very nice! If I hadn’t of only JUST got my Cort, I’d be snapping this up. Someone grab it, so I can stop drooling 🤤 Marco below 👇 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNGWU2kM6NT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link GLWTS Josh

    I’ve used Setlist Helper on a Samsung tablet for years 👍

    Have you had chance to weigh it yet?
  9. AlexDelores
    Had this for about 8 years. Light use with a few scuffs. Sat on a board for a while and used as a volume pedal so no longer has the rubber feet. £30 inc. postage or collection from Telford. NOW £25 POSTED Tar! Alex

    I have this with light blue basses. Man City blue, just can’t do it.
  11. AlexDelores
    Yamaha TRB & Ibanez GSR shaped basses. I know they’re probably very good. But they make you look like you’re a beginner and are playing a bass that came in a starter pack.

    Jazz

    My newest acquisition isn’t a Fender Jazz but it’s still a Jazz in spirit. So, here’s my 2…

    Thanks all, Appreciate everyone’s feedback. We’ll go for the AKG and see how we get on. Nice to just hear people use both in relatively small stages without much issue. 🙌

    Any experience using wireless guitar systems alongside wireless IEM systems? We already use Shure PSM300 wireless IEM system and would like to introduce wireless guitars and eventually microphones. Slightly cautious that there would be too much going on and they would interfere with each other? Any thoughts from anyone who’s used/uses both? Also, has anyone any experience with the AKG WMS40 Mini Dual Guitar systems? These look like a good option due to only needing one main ‘hub’ but I’ve had bad experiences with cheaper wireless systems in the past and wondered if anyone can recommend the AKG stuff? Thanks Alex

    Geddy Lee - My ‘Effin Life is a good read 👍

    Agreed, it’s definitely coming off, I just haven’t had chance yet. Although personally don’t mind it terribly as is but I do think I’d prefer it off. Or, I quite fancy a black one in the future to match the hardware. Just haven’t had chance yet. Flat out with gigs and it’s school holidays. So if I’m not running around after the kids or gigging, the odd practice time with my bass is spent playing it! 🙌

    Can’t comment on the SR but it’s not far off my Jazz. Took a few side by sides for comparison.
  18. AlexDelores
    Damn this Forum! Since @fretmeister posted his P basses, I can’t stop looking at P basses. I don’t even like single pickup basses and I’m very much enjoying playing the bass I bought 2 weeks ago. In fact, I have absolutely no need for a new bass and already have a P/J should I want/need the single P. But still, can’t stop googling ‘em! I will resist, I will 🥲😬😆

    Not Stingrays, but I’ve always thought Mike Lull colour choices are superb. A little scroll through their Instagram/website might inspire something 🙌

    Not sure if these have been posted on here yet but these are relatively new and have a PJ config. Visually not my thing but they might do it for some. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Hartwood-Delta-Bass-Guitar-Sunburst/6PQE?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22258054978&gbraid=0AAAAAD_kjLS6ifX4TqRvnxg_qAh17C6OC&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm9ba5JPYjgMVvopQBh00CAoqEAQYBCABEgJM6fD_BwE

    Sorry just noticed these have already been shared. They look very nice though!

    Oosh! That cream and tort guard look particularly nice 👌

    There’s a few different options but we use essentially a Roland electric drum kit trigger with a Roland drum module. We’re running two separate sounds/units through it. One is a kick drum (me) and the other is a snare/tambourine type sound (guitarist). They do a standalone kick drum with a built in module I think which is a simpler route if it’s just a single kick you’re after. But I can’t seem to find a link for it, so it may of been discontinued.

    Perfect! Although I’d match the boots to the belt 😂
