I must take issue with the farmers playing fenders bit as i know a lot of farmers and they would never fork out on a fender ! i think it far more likely they would build something from pallets ,tyre's , flashband ,gaffer tape ,and bits of old cars the end result would surely look and play much more like a Ric ...

I have had a lot of 1000 plus jazz bass's in the past and moved them on [bar 1] as for me they were in no way superior to my sire v7 or my mex fender ,i do still have a mij 75 reissue and an american standard that are both great but my main bass is actually my mex with j retro pre which i too play predominately passive ... i would never pay 6000 for a bass and i'm yet to hear one that justify's the price tag.

cheers for that i think i'm going to give the s10's a go at that price and go from there they will be mainly for giving me a clearer on stage sound when playing a club and things get mushy ,i'm not really after extra boosted bass just better definition.

I see that the kz zs10 in ears and the behringer p2 have made what looks to be a decent set up very affordable so i'm thinking of investing , one of my bands is an 8 piece reggae band and i was just wandering if anyone can tell me if this set up will give me a decent reggae type bass response ? thanks 👍

To be fair Neil is from the tribe of jahova 😀

To the op there is a lot of good stuff on youtube to help get the feel but most importantly i would say listen to lots of reggae and start with easy things

Do you wear one of those pointy hats ?

You really are an over opinionated racist fool aren't you i grew up in Tottenham listening to reggae [both uk and Jamaican] and have played it for most of my fifty years i play with a band that consists of Jamaican, Indian ,Polish, Bermudan, mixed heritage and uk born some of the white members of the band have played with some of the biggest names in reggae without any problem i play the music from the streets i grew up in but reggae music is loved the world over ,and its message of unity and love is open to all.

I have just taken delivery of a lovely squier dimensions bass from Keith everything was perfect and went smoothly with some of the best packaging i have come across Keith is a gent trade with confidence.

Thats really crap...where was this ?

I would be inclined to try only one singer per rehearsal if possible [ perhaps 2 one week and 2 the next ] i've found it can take a longer time slot and a bit of jamming for some people to get comfortable and show what they are capable of.

They are lovely there is a kind of Scandinavian minimalism aesthetic thing going on and the headstock works really well for me.

Am i to take it that gentrification's wealthy embrace hasn't yet cradled the Pepys Estate ?

Traded a P for a J with Richardd top bloke and smooth transaction have every confidence in dealing with Rich.

Yep i love Luton pubs too

To be fare wetherspoons are only chav central of an evening , in the daytime its racist pensioners and blokes with no teeth bad tats and a habit having a row with themselves at the bar...

I must admit to being a little baffled at his logic as if hes a balanced player then the bass drum shouldn't be quieter than the rest of kit and if he really does need to boost the bass drum alone then he needs to work on his technique added to which the rig you describe would be amplifying the wrong frequency's with to much power

Seriously i wouldn't have it ! what do the other band members think and what are you playing ?

Sounds like your drummer is a selfish fool who's thinking about his own sound at the expense of the band ! it would give me the raving hump ,and to be honest i wouldn't put up with it i have played with scores of drummers over the years at every level ,and have never come across one who mic's his own bass drum through a bass amp what sort of music do you play ,and does the rest of his kit go through the p.a. ?

oh and going off track slightly what sort of strings are on your lovely Elwray bass ?

Someone on here was after a sire pre amp the other day i think it was bigrob ... i love my v7 what didnt you like about the sound Marco ?

It was my pleasure Marco ..what a lovely instrument !.. and it was good to meet Gary and catch up with Rich too 🙂

No problem it will keep things moving ,and you may yet get to play that Wal 🙂
