Unpopular Musical Opinions: What are Yours?
Bagman replied to Mykesbass's topic in General Discussion
Unpopular on a Bass site: Rush, they really were the sh*ts, the REO Speedwagon of PROG Nonsense Kiss , pantomime rubbish from deeply unlikeable people Mudvayne(?) apparently been around for 20 years only heard them a few months back. It’s like they merged the 2 bands listed above😂😂😂 -
Hoping to see Idles in November They are way to heavy for me but I really like the lyrics and general vibe
-
OC-2 if if you can’t find one maybe Ashdown Sub Harmonic I don’t know anything regarding digital octaves Chorus I quite like Tech21 Bass Boost Chorus versatility /options aplenty there
-
I very much like the old ABM cabinets. Still going strong. The ABM 1510HX is my favorite. Once again they are not for everyone and certainly couldn’t be described as “Hi-Fi” but for me they work good. I had a ABM115 blue speaker (Italy?) as well that was a bit “brighter”
-
I have had no issue with Ashdown gear aside from wear and tear / basic maintenance. Obviously will get a Tubes bill at some point for the CTM-300 When I have contacted them they always reply promptly when given my location they could choose to ignore me😂😂
-
The CTM EQ is somewhat quirky but has become my favorite. Magnificent with Passive Bass /Flatwound strings I don’t think the CTM is for everyone but for me it’s the bees knees I still use my 98 ABM Klystrom as well.
-
GHS Precision Flats are IMO closer to LaBella. ( than Rotosound and Daddario Chromes) I use the 105 E set GHS on a Fretless Jazz and a Tobias. Very smooth strings and great balance across the range.

Niki and the Dove
-
I have all The Bassist UK magazines from the 1990’s - 2000’s I have found them very useful over the years/decades Also like the written content was a different flavor to US Bass Player mag
-
L2 Steinberger fretted no dead spots. Entire range is balanced
-
Yep C# on the G string Fretless Fender Jazz Fretless MusicMan Stingray is pretty good just need to be mindful of string to string balance EQ
-
Random question but what’s the earliest Ashdown ABM anyone here owns?
-
Amps with Compession or separate Compression pedal??
Bagman replied to Linus27's topic in General Discussion
Big fan of the Diamond BCP with a Passive, flatwound strung bass The onboard Peavey Compression I had decades back wasn’t very good -
@Linus27 what strings on on the Fretless?
-
New track from Afghan Whigs A great band
-
Was that the B stock CTM? I bought the CTM-300 a few years ago and it is my favourite amplifier
-
I quite like that album she did some Prince stuff too ”Everybody Got Their Something” I transcribed for students both reading and plectrum practice.

Original Stingray shipped with Flats on I Play a 2EQ Fretless Stingray with Chromes (105 E) smoother than a baby’s bottom
-
Passive Precision 0 Tone Passive Jazz 0 Tone Passive Jazz Fretless 30% Tone L2 Steinberger Active 0 Tone

L2 Steinberger Very black
-
Like the scratch plate and controls on the white one
-
L2 Steinberger- LaBella double ball are very nice. Really should have done this years back. Very smooth I have ordered another style of LaBella Flats for my old Jazz
-
I put GHS Flats on a Fretless Jazz a month back and yeah they are nice
-
Yep that’s sort of my experience too. I haven’t required “repairs” more “maintenance” for my Ashdown gear and always excellent communication and advice Given I bought my Klystrom ABM in 1998 and it’s still used 3-4 times a week that’s pretty good I reckon
