    Eugene Wright and Joe Morello, impossibly cool...

    In my humble opinion, FRFR to me meant finding amplification that made my basses louder but didn’t colour the tone in any way whatsoever, or at least as close to that as possible. For me, until I found that fundamental basic tone of a bass it was pointless manipulating that tone when you weren’t ‘at zero’ so to speak. I finally felt I’d found that fundamental tone once I began using the QSC K12.2. From that point on I began to manipulate the tone with a HX Stomp, even though these manipulations were tiny, in my opinion this made the signal no longer FRFR. Playing the bass through an active uncoloured speaker with nothing else in the signal chain is what FRFR means to me but the minute you manipulate the tone in any way or listen to the tone via IEMs, a PA, headphones, whatever, then part of your tone is the bass, part of it is the other things the signal is travelling through. So, for me, FRFR was about finding as uncoloured tonal basis from which I could start. All the other benefits, the small size of the rig, the happy faces of FOH engineers when they can DI straight out of the back of the speaker and finally hearing how my basses really actually sound and being able to work with that tone from as close to flat as I could get.

    I use one monitor, but am considering IEMs in the future.

    Another vote for the AER, as someone who plays in an acoustic band it was a great amp, but, I sold mine to get an FRFR speaker which, IMHO, is the perfect solution to most amplification scenarios but particularly the acoustic band one.

    90 Degree Jack..? Isn’t he still in the Scrubs doing a five stretch for larceny?

    A long lost H. P. Lovecraft novel?

    I have a Line 6 HX Stomp tip, albeit a basic one. Don’t sell it then regret it almost instantly to the point that you are cussin’ yourself driving away from the recipient’s gaff. That is all.

    Absolutely. I give them the benefit of the doubt for having made my personal number one album of all time, Metal Box and another favourite, Flowers of Romance. I agree, from Album onwards their output was iffy but they’d get a pass for Death Disco on its own.

    That whole album (Bête Noire) is full of great bass lines. I’m mostly into punk/post-punk stuff but it’s a cracking album. I do love a bit of Roxy and some Ferry too.

    I used to use a Polytune until I got a Peterson Stroboclip, the best clip on tuner by far imho.

    I can't believe this is still here, one of the best jazz basses on the marketplace at the moment, certainly the lightest. This is a proper bargain.
  15. Frank Blank
    Dare I say you are already a queasy shade Sir.

    The programme preceding it was excellent as well Simon & Garfunkel: The Harmony Game which is also up on iPlayer.
  17. Frank Blank
    Yes we should! I can’t wait to resume rehearsing with mine, it’s perfect.
  18. Frank Blank
    Me too. However, I've settled for Luminlays on mine.

    LEDs too, an aristocrat.

    Loved mine, great basses, GLWTS.
