NAS Bass

I always send Pre to FOH to give the engineer the cleanest possible signal to work with. Any colouration can come from your cab and if the venue requires it, this this can be mic'd up and mixed on a separate channel. I wouldn't get to wound up about losing "your tone" by going Pre EQ. Work with the FOH engineer.

I always get a kick from Paranoid. Simple, punchy, characteristic little runs and one of the first things I played as a kid.

Thats sad to hear. What a great musician

A lot to be said for sticking to one bass and "really" getting used to knowing where all the good sounds are. I've done it with Precisions and I'm still amazed at the variations in tone that I get out of a rather nice Jazz bass

Often thought about it and should get one. I take a spare 12AX7 valve in a hard, padded container just in case. Funny this should pop up as I used mine at a rehearsal last night in prep for a supplied backline gig soon - I should use it more, all the other OD/DI type pre-amp/amp in a box things don't come close as far as I'm concerned!

Just checked - £10

I cant remember, got mine a few years back but didn't seem too bad. Really great straps!

Excellent!

The final one on the LA Woman album was Jerry Scheff, best known for being in Elvis's TCB Band. He played that excellent Burnin' Love bass line!
