That's very sad.  A cracking band in both their incarnations.  Always thought his input was underrated.

I can't say for sure but given I had to swap out a 90 degree jack (which didnt fit) for a straight jack (which did) when I got an SR, I'd guess from your picture that it may not fit.  Looks close though, so hopefully someone will have tried it and can say for sure!

Just bought a zoom B6 from Sean.  Great comms, quick and secure posting.  A pleasure to deal with, thanks mate 👍 

I love Mick Karn's work, crazily inventive.  This thread has reminded me to dig out my old Dali's Car album.  The Jansen, Barbieri and Karn work is so cool and a reminder of what great drumming there was on Japan's albums too.

Traded a Stingray 5 for a Bogart with Keir.  Lovely guy, easy trade, great communication.  Top basschatter 👍

Shakin' Stevens - it grooves!

Wizzard - cos it's a little tricky having not played it for 12 months 😛

My main gigging bass is currently an SR iron label MS5.  Have to say, it's lovely, so easy to play, looks great, lovely tones.  I'm looking to get a BTB iron label as a pair.  When I bought it, I wasn't looking for a metal bass (we're a function band!) but it just played so well, it stood out over the dozens of basses I tried at the time.  Honestly, I love it.

I love BVs, playing and singing is far more fun for me than just playing.  My band has 3 BVs and we often have 2 or 3 harmonies going which adds so much.  I also like the challenge of it, great fun.

Definitely a case of practising.  For me, it's all about the rhythm rather than the melody, I need to work out where the vocal rhythm comes in relation to the bass rhythm then it all starts to fall into place.  Mostly!

Like that a lot.  Great playing and the bass tone fits the synthwave vibe very well.  What VSTs are you using for the synth sounds, I've been looking for a good synthwave package for a while (I use Cubase btw).

Cheers Dan, it was an absolute pleasure and the bass is lovely!

Here's MK's version of ET.

Update.. we've found a drummer. Now just have to face the always-fun experience of being nervous in every song 🙃

Gig still on but our drummer tested positive this afternoon and we're frantically looking for a dep. Not looking likely at this time. We missed our last gig before Xmas cos our singer was positive. Covid really is a pain.

Just learning Dancing On The Ceiling for new band.  Great song but, even though I knew it, I was surprised to find it has a key change.  How could I not have noticed that?!

This thread disappointed, was expecting 

Don't suppose you're interested in selling the scratch plates separately or you know where I can find some?  Been keen to swap mine out!  Lovely bass, I just can't justify buying a third stingray 🤪

Here's another one that springs to mind. The film actually opens with "Waiting For The Miracle" by Leonard Cohen which you can just hear the end of in this clip. Then there is this scene which is the introduction to the carnage that follows throughout the movie played to L7's 'Sh!tlist". Just brilliant.

 

 

I came here to post this exact scene and song.  It's brilliant.

Cheers guys, a DI box is a consideration but the buzz was so loud (and present even when the amp power supply was disconnected which was weird) that it's not going to do the trick for me long term.  So I'm moving on, probably back to Markbass where I've been for the last ten years.  Strangely, not a single member of the audience commented on the fact I was DI'ing out of my pedal.  Ignorant lot 🤣

Thanks all, will experiment a bit tomorrow and see what's happening.  Nice gig anyway 👍 

Tried it with various xlrs and was the same.  When everything was unplugged it still buzzed like a ghost and then went away slightly when I touch the metal case of the amp.

The first set has gone well anyway!

OK, so just bought a new ashdown rootmaster evo ii 500.  First gig with it tonight and the DI is causing a big buzz.  Indeed, having exhausted various possible sources, it still buzzes when the amp power socket is out and nothing is plugged into it except the DI cable!  Luckily, I can DI out my pedal for tonight but can the basschat experts tell me any solution other than I've got unlucky and need to box it up to send it back?

Hopefully the gig will take my mind off it for a couple of hours!

This bassist and this exact song got me into bass 👍👍

Heard Wizzard on the radio today, made me sad.  I LOVE gigging that song every year 😔

Great effort, thanks for sharing.  And Rio with a plectrum!
