bazzbass

sometimes, I'd let her talk to me, AFTER sex

that's just like my MIM, where did you get it from?

you may find the result unsatisfactory, as I did. Not because the amp isn't good, but because the cab adds more to the sound than I realised. Using the amp's DI is not much more 'warm' than going straight in to the interface. Just my experience trying to find the right tone. Bought a tube pre amp, tried micing the cab, tried the amp's DI. In the end, the bass sounded better going straight into my interface, go figure.

don't do that, makes playing bass even harder

the good news is,we have some pubs that refused to get pokies,who have stayed rundown, but have live music. And most of them promote original music over covers. Where there is hope......

the new drug driving laws didn't help either, no one wants to leave home anymore, myself included.

I know musicians who have played for 20 plus years, constantly gigging, but can't get their act together, turning up late, broken gear, no spare anything.
Experience doesn't mean they're gonna be good, but most people learn SOMETHING after all those years.

I've been lucky enough to have always played in bands with people I was friends with already, bringing in one new person maybe.

It's more important that the new member gels with the band than whether they've played in bands for a long time, assuming the talent is there.

here in South Australia, the live music scene died about 20 years ago when they legalised pokie machines and every pub got rid of their dart and 8 ball teams and rooms, kicked out the bands, and put in 40 pokie machines. Five years later they were rolling in so much money, they all upgraded the facilities and put in restaurants and beer gardens.
Now,the public are broke, pokie money is dying.

I'm hoping they turn to live music to get people back in to their venues again.

ignore the drummer, play in time instead

lol @ thinking chicks will come to see an ORIGINALS band lol

still rotfl at that one

hahaha

lol @ thinking ANYONE will come to see an originals band.....sigh

I was expecting all the replies would be from Aussies, so glad they are appreciated over your side of the pond too !

Neil Finn, like all great New Zealand artists, we claim as our own

Nick is a great bassist, knows when to play sparsly when it's needed too.

too late. You have tinnitus. For life.

It will only get worse. You didn't wear ear plugs?

I discovered good ear plugs when it was way too late.


I've lived with loud tinnitus for over 35 years, my hearing in my right ear, the one that was next to the bloody drummer's cymbals, is about 50%.

I used to larf at electronic drums in the 80s and 90s. Now I long for our drummer to use them in our band, won't happen.

without knowing the speaker attributes, I'll guess the 4x 8s

I bought a used Hipshot Vintage bridge for my MIM Jazz over a year ago and only just installed it.

The seller had lost the allen key to adjust the saddle height and none of mine fit. It is a really tiny screw .

I emailed Hipshot and they replied within a day that they'll post a few spares out to me, free of charge all the way to me in Australia.

That is great customer service, to send a part to a second hand buyer goes beyond what is expected.

Just thought I'd share my experience.

you are all wrong, with the greatest respect

Yes covering a Beatles song

wow I'm very surprised that the Affinity , which is their entry level budget range is exactly the same as their VM which is their higher end range. That just doesn't make sense.

for sure the Affinity P and J basses are nowhere near as good quality wise as the VM P and J basses, going by all the feedback

I wonder why it's different for the Jag?

ahh glad you sorted it out

I disowned my cousin coz he got his dad to take him to a David Cassidy concert lol oh man that made me larf all over again

"then he came out in a white suit !"

hello and welcome mate

nothing modest about Jazz Basses


nor MarkBass !

My hi tech plan for my second go at gigging after a long break is to have BIG setlist sheets on the floor with the chord structure for verse chorus and bridge next to each song.

we need autocue like the tv stations use. or a lacky with white cardboard sheets hehe

but yeah I have seen an app that lets you change song order etc, and there are usb and bluetooth devices to turn the page for you. I'll let someone who uses one chime in.

keep the ABY you already have. Buy a boost pedal like the Mooer Pure Boost

Use the Boost pedal when you switch to the quieter bass. If you've set it right, both basses will be at the same volume.

Less than $100

but before I make any decisions, I want to find out how easy they are to deal with, what options there are etc.

All help is much appreciated!

I don't think anyone has addressed the OP's question. Instead you're arguing over whether one luthier's bass is better than Fenders.

OP asked how easy FCS is to deal with and what options are available.

Unfortunately I'm down under and FCS is not even remotely doable for me, so I haven't even looked.
