I have the opposite issue. I have 5 and love them all!! Makes it damm difficult to know which one to take to the gig. First world problems eh?

Myself and Krispn on here "share" a drummer and he is a cool guy and great drummer. And strangely sane! The only problem is, he is in about 5 bands and sometimes we have to use a dep and that`s when the problems start....

I think BB stands for Broad Bass?

Ed Frieland mentioned this in his review a few years ago. Shocking on a bass that costs so much.

Overkill by Motorhead. After playing that ask him if he prefers four on the floor.

I think that some people in covers bands seem to forget that we are in the entertainment industry. I will play anything that gets people singing, dancing and spending money at the bar. To the op, what have you got to lose? Try it, you might enjoy it.

[quote name='JoeEvans' timestamp='1490132346' post='3262557'] You need to get on with the drummer and live near him or her. Drummers always drive. [/quote] Not always so....Our dep drummer for a gig in Fife doesn`t have a car but has a 125cc motorbike!! So in this case, the bass player is taking the drummer

Just completed a deal with Vinny. Gave me the bass for a good price and his packaging skills would come in very handy at Christmas time All in all, a great guy to deal with.

Ta John, will have a look.

I`m looking for some singing lessons from someone in the Glasgow area. I need someone who is a bona fide teacher who does it for a living and not someone who was almost on the X factor! Before I trawl Google, can anybody recommend someone?

There have been a few topics on them. The search button is your friend. Looks nice in white.

You said it yourself Artisan and I agree totally. It is a lot of cash for a basic instrument. But if you want a Fender US P bass new, you might have to bite the bullet.

Cheers Jack.

Sorry Jack, should have said non powered mixer. I will have a look at the Pre gear you mention.

[quote name='Jack' timestamp='1489238928' post='3255388'] With pedal preamps there can be a volume issue. The pedals have a rather limited amount of gain they can provide for a few reasons, mainly that they're limited by the 9V power supply but also they're designed to work in front of standard amps rather than power amps. You'll get sound either way, but I've seen the pedal output volume maxed and the gain controls on an amp maxed and still the signal LEDs are just barely being tickled. You really have two options, one is to find an amp with the lowest input sensitivity that you can, ideally around 0.775V. Option 2 is to use another gain stage to boots the pedal before the power amp. If you use the RBI you'll likely have a wider choice of suitable power amps. Oh sorry, I should answer your question. QSC PLX??02, pick the one you feel you need. I have a 1602 that does 300W a side into each of my Barefaceds, and the possibility of 1600W into both if I wanted. They have either a 1.2V or 1.7V input sensitivity I think, depending on the model, so you may find your RBI will sing and your VT Bass a little on the quieter side. [/quote] What about going into a pedal (Sansamp, BD 121 etc), taking a line out into the mic premap on a passive mixer, then into a poweramp? Might be a daft question.

Due to this topic, I took my Pawn Shop along to a rehearsal last night. Sounded bloomin good to me turned up nice and loud. Might take it to a gig or two.

Jeid bought some tuners from me. Good guy to deal with, no probs whatsoever. Jezza

I wonder if this is the bass he used in Live at Donington in 91? Be perfect in my band...if I had a spare few thousands!

I have a Pawn Shop model which I don`t think you can buy anymore. I don`t really use it to be honest and have almost sold it on several occasions but it`s the wife`s favourite and it`s so damm sexy. It sounds like a hot P bass to me and as I have 3 other basses with versions of the P bass pickup, I usually grab one of them. Use medium scale strings and I have fitted D`addario rounds, 45 - 100 if I remember right. If I was to buy another short scale, I would get a SS Jag with the PJ pickups. They seem to get a good write up and are a good bit cheaper than a Mustang.
