  1. I have been asked to take on some of the singing parts- not because I’m a great singer but to share the load. Backing vocals are easy but I’m finding singing a different rhythm to the bassline throws me off both. Any advice?
  2. I’d consider trading for Markbass NY121 with cash my way.
  3. Well it’s an amazing cab and I’ve used it in the wild a couple of times but it’s completely excessive for my needs. It does sound amazing and it’s light and compact, but I just don’t need a 2x12 so I’m going to move it on. It has two new OEP bass drivers from EBS. I will package it up to send but would prefer to arrange something, could even deliver within M25 or possibly along M4 in a couple of weeks for petrol money. Or collect from me in SE14 and you can try it out. all specs and stuff here… https://thebassgallery.com/products/ebs-neoline-212
  4. I do like the EBS. It's quite a tasty piece of kit... but I think it'd suit a valve amp much better being 4 ohm and very hifi so you'd get the sound of something like a 100w head cooking. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/EBS-NeoLine-212-Professional-Neodymium-Bass-Speaker-Cabinet/P37 But yeah, I've actually been preferring the tone from my NY121.
  5. I think I may ditch the EBS and get a second ny121. The EBS is overkill really.
  6. Do you think it'd have been fine with an extension cab or do you recon you'd need more than 500w?
  7. I've got an EBS Neoline 212 that I may move on and just get another 121...
  8. I'm very impressed with the LMIII and NY121 setup - there are times it'd have been handy to have them in one package so I can really see the advantage of the combo, definitely.
  9. I’ve got the head and cab- is there any difference?
  10. You wouldn’t say that if you knew me …
  11. Maybe I need more sole?
  12. They don't have much of a pick of bass players. I can give rise to some awful behavior! They even indulge my gear fetish "oh, that's a nice new cab you have and what's that, a new pedal? I'm sure they'll sound amazing!"
  13. I'm 47, I've not been fashionable for two decades now.
  14. Just paint your feet black. Nobody'd know.
  15. I guess sandals may be a good compromise!
  16. I have no need for one of these, nor the space nor the money but damn I remember seeing them in the 90s when they came out and wanting one sooooo badly. Still do. GLWTS
  17. Yep. I know. I do have some shoes with very thin tread though, they feel very connected.
  18. Yep. I agree - when I was in The Music Complex I kept my shoes on but I really wanted to take them off. If it wasn't for the state of the carpet...
  19. The last couple of rehearsals I've been to I've felt compelled to take my shoes off. I have no idea why. I've started to notice a lot of performers don't wear shoes. Anyone else getting this?
  20. Yep. Mine's quite heavy but with a nice padded Mono strap I've gotten used to it. I'm happier just having 4 positions though, no blend - I'd just end up dicking about with settings all the time otherwise. I'm very, very taken with the bass though and part of me would fancy getting a Canadian one, but the other part of me (the one that knows how much is in the bank) is just laughing at the idea. I'll just keep an eye out for a cheap eq pedal I recon. Cheers for all your input though. Much appreciated.
  21. You know, I have thought about this. I've also thought about widening one of the holes to put an output jack there as I HATE the positioning as standard, but we're getting into seriously messing about with an expensive bass. I think the reason I've not used the eq is down to not playing live much. I think it may be a bit more useful in a gigging context, but from what I hear the Glockenglang is a better preamp anyway.
  22. I mean, that looks fantastic, but I've upgraded the pots on mine to the Dingwall ones and I really like them so stacked pots would be a major annoyance. I know. I'm being picky here...
  23. So, take down the treble on the amp to get the passive-type tone I want and then use the active to whack them up? Maybe it'd work but I find the idea of cutting frequencies then having to use an active circuit to add them back goes against my approach. Question though, if I added a tone control in the guitar body how would that be any different to having it a pedal? Would the problem be the addition of an extra length of instrument cable creating the problem? Perhaps the easiest thing would be to keep an eye out for a graphic eq pedal?
