    @Dood Marshall IBS - now there's an apt name if ever I saw one 😯

     

    I've managed to send a cold shiver down my own spine as I recall in a moment of madness sharing my health woes with the world. On reflection, I don't think anyone really wanted to know that I am suffering from an incurable disease of the gut. I think I want one of these amplifers as well now just to celebrate the misery!

    Awww very lucky!! 

     

    I had the head version and ran it in to a 2x15" cabinet (Loaded with Celestion speakers). It was my first "proper" gigging rig and I always had compliments on my tone! It made a good noise! I'm definitely feeling nostalgic for the Marshalls right now! 

     

    Wow! I've managed to find an old scan of some pictures that I had of that very rig - though it looks like a speaker was changed at some point. I'm still wondering where that P bass ended up. I last heard it was in a studio in Suffolk somewhere, but it must be a studio that no one goes to as nobody seems to have seen it! 

     

    Pictured: Marshall IBS 200W head, the cabinet I think was a Traynor 2x15" and the Precision is a 70's ash body with a 80's '62 AVRI (USA) neck w/ reverse kluson tuners and Dimarzio split coil. Heavy as, but sounded like thunder.

    I love this thread!

     

    I bought a Super PJ a few years back and it's an amazing instrument, Sheldon's basses are next level.

     

    If you wanted to know how is sounds....

     

     

     

     

    I remember this review! Thank you so much for sharing it. Some reviews easily stand out in my memory and I have to say that this bass sounded SO good in the studio! The Dingwall and Bergantino combination is a match made in heaven (indeed Sheldon's own test rig is a Bergy too!) - and of course Sheldon's basses are effortless to play!

    I'm trying to keep an updated playlist of all of my video reviews on YouTube and have managed to locate over 300, but there are still plenty missing. Here's the link to save to my playlist.

    Dealing with feedback with an uncompromising drummer

    I seem to remember that the Audix OM7 vocal mic is good for this situation - very directional, although the singer needs to get right up close to the mic to get the best from it. I think it's a common choice for very loud stages. Might be worth a try? 

     

    Lewitt make a great vical MIc with feedback rejection. There's another that I can't remember the name of too that I want to suggest.

    "He'd rather not play than compromise his playing or equipment choice" red flag.  

     

    I've been in the fortunate position to play with some pretty amazing top-tier drummers as I am sure many BassChatters have. Some of the best have not necesarily been the ones who know their way round the kit, but know their way around the environment. They listen and react as part of the group and do what is necessary to sound the best. For the sound, the band and the song. 

     

    Adding to the suggestions (other than simply learning how to control ones dynamics which is half their battle it seems) a friend of mine had a kit set up especially for pub and small venue gigs. It was a 'recording' kit versus what could be termed as a 'live' kit. It sounded absolutely amazing, but did not even remotely sound as loud as his live alternative. The bell brass snare stayed at home, that's for sure! The cymbals (Bosphorous) too had a richer more lush sound versus those designed to be leathered (you know those Paiste ones from the 90's lol) and his choice of skins cut down on excessive ring and transients in favour of colour and tone.  Interestingly, it meant that we ended up hearing more 'textured' playing from the kit even though we both grew up a pair of metal heads. Think more Gavin Harrison ..  


    In my current band, our on stage volume is such that we can talk loudly and still communicate mid-song. My drummer has a wonderful sense of self-control and knows how to deliver song dynamics that add to the experience. We then leave a really nice PA to do the heavy lifting.

    Trustpilot gives them a 4.3 out of 5 rating. @Dood, what do you do to make couriers and financial institutions hate you? 😁


    There’s a Facebook group for WISE and it doesn’t make for good reading! And stealing money is an instant strike for me. 
     

    😂 Generally speaking, considering the amount of gear I’ve shipped over the years (hundreds of pieces) there have only been a few disasters.. including the issues with my beloved vintage P bass going missing at an infamous London courier depot. 
    We did get the company CEO and his “major complaints” team involved though. Not sure if working for major bass magazines helped persuade them to dig deep for me!

    @everyone 

     

    I think I have fixed the problem! If you click on 'Accounts'that takes you to your account online, there is a menu for Manage Apps under Security and Privacy. I had a few apps connected to my Spotify account. I knew what the all were. I have deleted all of them and I have subsequently been able (so far) to remove everything by this unknown account. One application happened to be Universal Music.. so it seems they can add tracks to your profile and have access to your playlists. 

     

    I'm still tempted to ditch Spotify altogether.

    That's a real shame.  Especially as I've only just discovered the playlist's existence!

     

    Just out of curiosity I tried removing some of those songs added by that "ForYou" account. They went away, then returned within a few seconds. Seems pretty suspicious.

     

    I've tried to block the ForYou account and deleted all of their tracks over and over, but they all keep coming back straight away.

    That bridge seems way out 🧐

     

    It's because the neck is a 22 fret and, rather having the fretboard over hang in to the body, the effective scale (length) has been moved away from the back of the bass. Or, to put it another way, the headstock is further away from the butt end of the bass than a "normal" precision.
