    Cheers, I've had 2 MIM jazz basses in the past and I wasn't blown away by them but these 'look' decent enough in the photos .

    I've seen a sweet looking 70s fender jazz reissue on Thomann. Anyone have any experience of this model. Price point is good. https://m.thomann.de/gb/fender_ltd_70s_jazz_bass_mn_nat.htm?glp=1&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=dpa201803x2x&utm_medium=cpc

    True, I've played entire gigs with a Stingray, a P bass or a Jazz bass and while they sound different, I've never thought 'this song sounds terrible with this bass I simply must change' I love the sounds out of all these instruments and it can make gigs interesting when you have to 'make do' with what you have in your hands. A bad carpenter blames his tools.

    Too many changes of electric guitars, then having to fiddle with his amp to get the desired tome. While I appreciate different guitars sound differently (i.e. Strat v Les Paul) there has to be a degree of practicality to keep the momentum going (I.e. chose a guitar that has both SS and HH pickups if you must). Our rhythm guitarist just uses a tele all the way through the gig and its sounds great. I usually being 2 basses to a gig but what ever I decide to play, that's it for the gig unless i have a catastrophic failure or unless a song 'really really' needs a fretless or upright bass, and I've never had this situation.

    General preciousness with some band members, especially when you're playing in a pub covers band. 😣

    Hi there , any Londoners out there can recommend a good store for basses. I'm due a trip soon .

    I don't intend being that b1tch !

    Setting up bass gear = 5 minutes, No problems. Trying to figure out a sound desk = 1 hr of stress
  10. Quilly
    Nobody taking responsibility for the Vocal PA (or knowing how to use the desk). Every gig I play there seems to be issues with faulty Mikes, faulty leads, too much reverb, not enough reverb, tinny vocals, muffled vocals, boomy vocals, feedback, monitors not working etc etc etc. Drives me effing nuts.

    I'm a great believer in making the best of a bad gig and just doing your best (you know 'those gigs' that you didn't really rehearse enough for an you know its bombing 1/2 way through the set). I make as many mistakes as the next guy so I don't like to point out other peoples faults. Still we should learn from bad gigs, poor song choices and being unprepared, Otherwise the band never gets better and you make the same mistakes gig after gig....Now that's really annoying. (this should never be discussed on the night of the gig though)

    I was in a band like that before...I think I was bassist # 5 or 6...I wonder why the left of them quit?

    Pitch Shift

    SiBob , I meant drop everything down a tone or semitone.

    Pitch Shift

    Quilly replied to Quilly's topic in Effects

    That's my concern, that its just not going to sound natural. I have a second bass, so no panic. Alternatively I was going to install a drop tuner,tuning key. All I really need is to drop the E to D.

    Pitch Shift

    Quilly posted a topic in Effects

    HI Folks Any recommendations for a pedal to do one specific task: Shift the pitch of my bass from E > D, A > B etc.

    I really like the 'sturdiness' of the AH-500, I never really trusted the lightweight class D amps (I've had one or 2 power failures with these and anyway they just dance around the top of the cabinet). I think TE could have dumped the compressor and the 'preshape' and just leave the EQ.
  17. Quilly
    HI Folks, Any Trace Elliot people out there ? I find the compression cuts the sound excessively and doesn't really allow you 'dig in' (even when turned down low) i.e. the compressor seems either 'on' or 'off'.. Also the 'preshape' function sounds good on its own just seems to scoops out the mids. I cant really hear myself over 2 guitars, apart from the E string. I switched these off completely at a recent gig and my EQ was set pretty much flat with a little boost on the mids. Bass sounded much more defined and clear afterwards. I bought the 500-AH second hand recently and I'm not sure what the purpose of the Pre-shape is when you have an EQ on tap? Some tips on set up would be great please, I play using fingers 95% of the time.

    Thinking of fitting a scratch plate to my all black mayones jabba 4 . What colour do you reckon?...or none.

    Backing Tracks being used in live performances. I just really cannot stand that.

    A guitarist friend of mine moved out of home and his dad 'threw' his 'ancient' amp out into a damp shed to make room in the house. That 'ancient ' amp was a 1965 fender bandmaster. I found out about its fate about 5 years afterwards and tried to rescue it. Unfortunately every perishable paper based component was completely ruined. Such a sad fate. I remember how sweet it sounded.

    Once I let a musicman stingray fall over and the neck slammed against a table corner leaving a pretty bad dent on the corner of the fretboard. Anyone else have a mishap with their gear. Spill a pint on their SVT etc.

    What part of Ireland are you based ?
  23. Quilly
    I'll mull it over while you're away. What are those screw holes running down the side of the cab by the way ?
  24. Quilly
    Probably hasn't put a *SOLD* notice on the ad yet.
  25. Quilly
    I owned one of these in the past and its an amazing sounding amp. I was gutted when I sold it. If I had the space Id but this in a heartbeat .
