    I’m wondering if a bow for a DB counts? Picks don’t and it’s not a huge leap to see the correlation. Asking for a friend .

    Curses! Hoist on my own petard. I shouldn’t have moved, as Ashtead was only a shortish drive from my old house.

    There’s an advent calendar in the 2nd picture. Do I win a prize?

    I was talking about the Hootenanny with family this evening and my FiL doesn’t do modern, so I looked up how long the Hootenanny has been going, 30 years last night - hardly modern.

    Agreed, just because you can sing a bit does not mean that all genres are fair game, he’s awful at it. I popped in and out, hoping to catch Joss Stone, which I failed at. Always glad to hear Dave Swift, but Jools’ left hand was often in the way and telling the bloke who pays your wages to move or lose it, isn’t the smartest move. I’d like to see another act ‘host’ it once in a while, as that might put a different spin on it.

    Once more into the breach! Abject failure the last 2 years, let’s see if I can do better this time around.

    If you’re going to have flamenco plates, I expect some Abe Laboriel flourishes.

    Oh, it’s not just one, although I did have an engineer reduce a beautifully, gnarly Rickenbacker grunt into a generic bass tone once. I’ve also been to plenty of gigs where this has happened too, that’s when you can actually hear the bass separated from the kick drum of course.

    I think a straightforward, “Was that really necessary?” should suffice. Don’t go pointing out someone else’s faults as a way of hitting back, that’s petty and won’t end well. Hopefully, they’ll agree it was over the top and maybe even apologise. However, if he doubles down, then all bets are off, rip him a new one!

    I love that so many folks who have commented have widely opposing opinions on the basses played. It just goes to show that producing so many different models of bass is totally justified and owning them too, at least before some engineer removes all the character from them, resulting in something generic (yes, I have an axe to grind here).

    Looking good. 👍

    Just going down to D-F, going up a gauge to 50-110 should be sufficient, assuming that you actually find your current set too loose. Tuning a five set string up 3 semitones sounds like trouble, plus you might have to widen the nut slots quite a bit.

    But then you are possibly implying self mutilation 😱😖😂

    A hard stare at their left hand, accompanied with the words, “I will cut it off!” normally works.

    I think @paddybass is looking for one of these.

    All of those tones work for me, but the weakest (IMO, YMMV) is the Yammy with both the P&J engaged, although it has a great, soloed P bass tone. I was fully expecting the J to sound weak next to, on paper, heavier, tonal hitters, but far from it. However, there can only be one (cue Christoph Lambert and Clancy Brown going for it, with swords) and for me it’s the P bass. Full disclosure, I have been on a P bass tone kick for a couple of years, so that is going to influence my choice.

    We didn’t come to help, we came to facilitate/encourage/entrap/advise (delete as appropriate).

    I agree. My JMJ sounds so close to my old ‘63 P as makes no odds.
  24. ezbass
    Yeah, he’s phenomenal.

    Hmm, er… no!
