Well I’d still be weary of anything that isn’t Officially written for the bass. Piano parts or not always the full bass line.

Have you seen this? You might be able to get enough info from the preview without having to pay for it. https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0109760

Oh yeah, the noise was the most memorable part of the GM clips. I think you are right about Mo Forster. Back then I wasn’t interested in bass, so one bass played sounded the same as another lol

Or take up a more interesting instrument 😂

I’d love a MB800 Fusion. I had one for an hour but never got to plug it in. The case was damaged so I sent it back.

I keep buying 800watt heads, ‘just in case I need more’. In almost 20 years of playing with just my rig supplying the sound to the room Ive never gone over half way on a master, even on a 500watt head. I realise not all master positions are the same, I’m just saying I’ve never had to go past noon on any amp. I could easily doe all my gigs with my markbass F1 (500watt) or Fender 800HD. If people were finding the 750 wasn’t loud enough I’d say a ‘proper’ 750watt head wouldn’t make much difference. I find the amp voicing can make a head sound louder than some other similar rated heads.

‘Place will be rammed’ heard it quite a few times, obviously Always a bit of an over statement. Variation is ‘it was rammed last night, could explain in why it’s empty tonight’ A very small pub we used to play regularly in Debden was always ‘3 deep at the bar’ the night before we played.....no matter what night we played. Still a good gig though, but it’s hard to imagine it being that full at any time.

I’m pretty sure I’ve read loads about the power discrepancy with the 750, especially over on TB. I’m not really clued up on all the different power rattings and what they mean, but I’m pretty sure I’ve not read (many) posts about the head not being loud enough for the job.

You could by a screen protector for a large smart phone and cut it down.

My post was not about making a profit, thats not what this thread is about IMO, it was about pointing out it can be brought for much less new (and with the being it’s new brings). This has nothing to do with vintages gear, a bass that has been sold 3 times and each time the cost creeps up etc, it’s about pointing out the item is currently available for a lot less brand new. . I don’t intend to break any rules here, I’d stay out of any of this sort of thing, but I also don’t have to agree with the rules. I prefer to warn people if they are getting ripped off or scammed.

Although I don’t do either, I would prefer to post publicly if I knew the item was way overpriced (or had known issues) I would feel like I’m sticking my nose in if I questioned a seller privately, especially if I had no intention of buying the time anyway. Why bother, seller would probably know what they are doing, and still go ahead with it. Posting in the thread would be the same, but would at least alert anyone thinking of buying it to the fact that it can be brought a lot cheaper. Then it’s down to them.

Yeah, I’m talking about rehearsals (so not going through a PA), and using my rig as the only source of bass, so again, not through a PA.

It’s not just tone/EQ though, it’s authority, the way the cab interacts with the amp/bass etc. Going from the F112 to the CH212 made a huge difference in how the bass was perceived in the mix. And of course a 1x12 will not do quite what a 212 will as far as heft and fullness (given both are high end boxes) so maybe for me it was just a 1x12 didn’t work for me rather than a FRFR. i got some fantastic tones out of the 1x12 with the Stomp, but I could never get a decent live tone. Plus the heads I was using made a tonal difference, so to me even if the cab was neutral the signal arriving at it wasn’t.

Im keeping out of that thread, as I too prefer a coloured cab/rig. It’s just not rock and roll lol.

I have a drawer full of the best must haves... no idea why I don’t use any of it 😂🙄 it’s easy to get caught up on here, but very hard to ignore the next best thing when it’s this price.

That fill at 6.05 is lovely.

No, because I can’t afford it, and don’t like fake road worn basses 😂 Isn’t there a thread a about a Guy Pratt bass on here? This one

Love this song. We used to do this. Good rendition.

I thought the BT-1 could already allow you to play along with CD’s. Isn’t that the point of it?

Just watched this interview Guy did for Thomann’s a while ago. Very funny in places. He also mentions a new book. I love the question the interviewer asked him about Bowie at 3.18. Very bizarre.

Well both are the same colour, if he says anything just convince him he got it wrong 😂

But this part of the thread was about using a Stomp, so my suggestion wasn’t aimed at Al, just making a comment on his reply to the original issue and pointing out there is global HPF available so no need to program it in to each patch. It’s not Al that was asking about EQ.

Wouldn’t it be better to just use the global HPF this case?

And sound really good 🙂

I almost brought Cubasis 3 a while ago, until I saw it’s £32. They are having a laugh. I did recently buy an audio app called Hokusai 2. That coast £10. I wanted an app that allowed me to trim out sections of long wav files. Not just split them like Gb can do. We record all our rehearsals and gigs, and normally I’d sit at my desktop Pc and do it in Audition, but I’m doing my best to be more couch based. It’s a really good app, loads of built in effects and some nice pro effects, but I’d still go for GB for multitrack stuff.
