Ampeg sim, bit of compression on the zoom plus a precision bass -“accept no substitute” as Samuel l Jackson says in pulp fiction. - what you describe is exactly what I did with mine through a PA. the host of the OM night is a guitar teacher himself and said my bass “sounded pretty awesome”.

I used a zoom b2.1 (svt setting plus compression) through a PA and managed to make glasses fall off shelves. Have no fear, just do it

I’m autistic and I have humour (ie well, people here humour me, which may or may not be the same thing, I cannot quite tell) I am totally cool with anyone loving john Taylor’s work. He is a f u c king god. Even my 11 year old liked Duran Duran “a bit” (until she found out it was 80s) - she noticed Tim schwartz’s playing in the The Eagles too (until she found out it was 70s)

Thanks @TheGreek Treble clef markers == no-go zone. Small joke for any bass players looking at it

Or electrically heated boiling tar. You can get tiny spears to mount their blackened heads on in order to discourage the others ....* * purely speculative and may not actually work, all resemblances to rats living or dead is purely coincidental ...

At his work rate he will have it roofed and carpeted by the time the sparky arrives 👍

That’s what I meant, but maybe swap through alto and treble as you go up The neck ?

Our stupid one’s more permanent expression is literally vacant ...

Fair enough

Why did you take that photo just after a bamboo chopstick landed on the scratch plate ?

We have two - one previously described is so stupid that it runs right into parked cars whilst looking at them, the other is her full blood cousin, tiny even for a pug and so insanely clever that I honestly believe that she can secretly read books on astrophysics and speak five human languages fluently - take a guess which one the Labradors respect and don’t mess with clever <—. Stupid —->

Ours isn’t really a dog, more a random collection of reflexes with the ability to walk. It’s available expressions amount to one word plus punctuation “what?” Or “what !”

Your pug looks baffled (default expression for mine) - I’m sure our Labradors are laughing at them in dog fashion

Will carbon rods change the sound ? :popcorn 🍿

What about a bass clef? Two at the twelfth perhaps ?

No - that was a different song on Use Your Illusion 1

Nitrile gloves ? You can get blue, possibly also black .... https://www.justgloves.co.uk/Gloves-By-Type/Gloves-By-Colour/Black-Gloves?gclid=CjwKCAjw3pWDBhB3EiwAV1c5rPuMNGWAoNJSc7nTjvI862qeyaZEqXa2bIqyktJOydvJlMFjm0M-mBoC6JMQAvD_BwE

@Reggaebass I think I saw on tv last night the cave you’ve been living in for the last 18 years

U2 have/had an alter ego band - The Daltons

Difference is that I want to be good at that

So ridiculously talented, if I’d started practicing before I was born I still wouldn’t be that good

Flippancy is fine you’d go mad with some kind of victim Mentality if you let it all get on top of you I've started a thread about this on off-topic so as to avoid any further departures from this thread’s original valuable payload

Not by me, I would like to assure you . I would dearly love the kind of confidence you get from knowing the right response even 90% of the time Btw apologies everyone for the unintentional thread de-railment. There will be an onward bus service to Tring

None taken I can “pass for normal” most of the time. Just ask anyone I dated if that’s true 24/7 though ... ☺️
