Indeed. They just don't want a ham-fisted bass player. What's wrong with that?

Probably the best post on this thread
Btw; I have had one or 2 serious fopics I have posted, and loved the witty comments .
The o p liked them here . I assume he got somebody, and seems to be a really nice bloke .
Some veggies need to lighten up
Had a very pleasant exchange of amplification with Kev yesterday. He travelled a fair way too.
Top bloke, nice guy and highly recommend ed to do business with
Thanks for this guys. Gutted that I can't make it in September as I will be away. Hopefully,,it won't be a short term thing,and they will come over again next year .
Always remember as a kid, the bas player from the groundhogs. Used them. Never saw them at the time, but when I first tried out a bass in a shop ,I asked to try an eb3.
Got a strange look as I was only 16 and couldn't play a note. Have a bump anyway
My experience in rehearsals was great. ( maybe I was swayed by the lights). When I got one, it was very rumbley ,and the weight was more than my sister in law ...

I always though they kinda sounded like someone playing an acoustic bass with a duvet stuffed inside it... still each to their own I guess...

Dull and muddy.
Hmmm....
Not in my experience.
Doug Wimbish has been playing Trace since forever.
Try some early Tackhead.

I did my school 'work experience' in the Trace factory when I was 14. In between packing stuff into boxes and doing regular paid staffs jobs whilst they sat around drinking tea and talking about arsenal, I tried out pretty much the entire range at the time (late 90s)
To be honest I was distinctly underwhelmed and have stayed clear of Trace ever since. I tried out a friends Ashdown a few years back and that also sounded suitably muffled and wooly.
Give me a nice bright GK sound instead...

This madee laugh;) . What I found about TE is that, they look great and sound good on pokey rehearsal rooms but sound dull and thuddy at gigs and at home
