....A sign of a bullet proof practice schedule....fretless bass combined with neat gin! : )

...combine it with the same amp that Jason Newsted used on "And justice for all" and you're set for stadium rock heaven : )

Had an SM 500 for many years. Great chunky rock tones. GLWTS : ) 

I converted to BBC6 around 2010 purely by chance...Unthinkable now but at the time the station was facing potential shutdown.

Personal faves are Mary Anne Hobbs, Iggy Pop on Sunday and for both tunes and banter Radcliffe and Maconie....Crisps on the Radio...pure genius

Yep, More of the "must get on well with people" thing. 

The one year that I was "pro" was spent on cruise ships in a 4 piece party band. Out of that year we were at sea for 11 months...and had one day off in that 11 months. 

We spent a massive amount of time in one another's company so it was best for everybody that a nice happy conducive vibe was a given because there weren't too many places to run to : )

Had one for a while....great for the money, however anyone interested might want to check on the weight as mine was a backbreaker : ) 

Hohner Jack Bass...Yeah I bet everyone on the forum was expecting that next : )

When i started on bass in 1990 these basses were everywhere...and at the time being a 15 year old with dreams of being the next Lemmy, they didn't really get a second look.

Fast forward to 2021 and wanting something compact to fit into my locker at work and finding short scale basses not to my liking I took the plunge....what an overlooked jem! full scale neck, shorter than the short scale, super resonant, comfy like a stinky old pair of trainers...goes on holiday with me much to everyone elses annoyance...and good enough to gig : )

Hi, If the Mojomojo is still for sale I'll go for it : )

I've got through the first two tracks...Ok so the overall sound is (in my limited perception) more open and clear...and possibly harder in the midrange? However the mix on Dogs seems to have been very hard on Richard Wright as the keys are considerably quieter....between the two mixes compare the little motif at around 1:30 in Dogs immediatley after Dave says "easy smile"...it's almost inaudible compared to the old mix : (   

Great little headphone amp with instrument, aux and XLR mic input. I had three of these for a project that only rehearsed a couple of times. These can link up to other units so you can have your own personal band mix. I kept this one as a back up in case my little Vox amplug thing ever gave up the ghost but it's just been sitting in a cupboard for 2 years serving no purpose. £25 including 2nd class postage to mainland UK. 

Cheers, C

That's brilliant, Better let me know some whys and wherefores : )

 Cheers, Conrad

Hi there, incredibly long shot however is the bass juice still for sale?

Cheers: )

This can happen on any bass it seems. My USA G&L SB-2 has this issue....weirdly it seems to be far worse in the summer and screws have worked themselves loose about 20 mins into the gig (I'm in Cambridgeshire...not exactly tropical)

I use clear nail lacquer instead of locktite.

Went to Cambridge Junction on Monday...Saw Thee Oh Sees for the third time. Quite possibly a band I could see every week and not get bored of : )

Me and my very tolerant lady are off to Desertfest on the Saturday...going to see Low in Hackney the night before...quite a contrast, just not in tempo : )  

For some time now I have carried a short XLR to mono jack cable in the event that the engineer has this concern. That way the cable can run from the amplifier D.I. into a D.I. box with any coloration or effects intact. When approaching the engineer with this I usually mention that if they feel that the sound coming from the amp is too fat/thin/dark/waspy then to let me know so I can try to sort it at the source. Each venue is different, much to my inconvenience ; )

Of course nowadays there are no burnt headstocks due to availability of velcro cigarette holders made by Gr@v G@@r.  

Hi there, yes mate I'll have that : )

For either obvious overdrive/clean blend or as I mostly use it as an enhancer (loads of clean with just a tiny sniff of overdrive) the Way Huge Pork Loin...been in constant use for 10 years. Been asked numerous times what amp/bass combi is getting "that" sound and I suspect it's the pedal what they are noticing : )    

Ooh well I best be having that then.  Send me your whys and wherefores and lets do this : )

Hi, Did this ever sell?

Even weirder,  when I went see Merzbow he sounded like MBV.....

Weirdest one for me was My Bloody Valentine Hammersmith 2013....I was sat upstairs which I'll never do again....should have known better really.

Ok so the records are kind of a mushy blurry blurriness of distortion but I may as well have been at a Merzbow gig...just an indistinct wash of fizz.

I went to the upstairs bar appx 20 mins before the end of the gig and briefly spoke to a friendly fellow from Ireland who saw them in 1993 before he ran back in for "You made me Realise"

About a year later I was playing in band on cruise ships and the band were having a rare night out in Hong Kong......and the same guy was there!!!

what does it all mean kids?

Great pedal....Use mine on guitar too. GLWTS 

Not sure if this has already been covered. If we're referring to the same sound that he has on "walk on by" then a major contribution to the sound is the mic.

To my manky ears it sounds very "miked" as such and is possibly the result of two mics or a mic and a DI not completely in phase with each other as there's a weird nasal quality to the mids.
