If the guitarist also sings it would pay to put it well to the side so it's not in the back field of his microphone. Tough choice, sing OR get howling feedback but not both at the same time.

Any yet plenty do. I wonder if they still use a monitor for feed back even with fancy electronics replacing the guitar amp. Maybe howling feedback is no longer a thing in that world.

The potential new owner of a store would like to have some inventory included in the sale I guess. I really can't see the store being worth diddly if the website keeps the brand, and vice versa.

You can get feedback from a single 12 right up close to it. Make sure it is on a tall stand and pointed right at the guitar player and not at any mic but their cab mic. You can probably get a feedback emulator but it's not going to be as much fun so you aren't winning that one very soon.

I think you just need to do you and forget about probing questions on how people learn to read bass.

I never thought of that. Anyone with good pitch memory would get really messed around.

Indeed, sight reading is a skill of its own that can be developed. You are reading in shorthand when you are at your limit. There isn't time to read the actual dots. Additional instruments played but not reading have been learned by ear.

What you may not realise is players on stages often aren't reading the music hardly at all. It's a memory jog and backstop failsafe unless coming in cold. I saw a jazz concert once where it was a pickup band for the touring artist doing his original material. The bassist mainly had his head in the book because they only put it together a couple of days prior. He was an absolute animal.

Good call. Sammy Nestico bass parts are really nicely written for anyone who isn't up for ad lib walking off chords for awhile yet. They make sense to a bass player unlike some other people's that seem to be written by someone without a clue what a real bass player is doing. Sure they are right notes, but not the right ones!

Sure is. It doesn't give the split between online and shop though. Online could have been T/O 15M making 7M of the profit. Leave you to do the rest of the maths.

That is good advice for wanting to learn to read before you can learn to read and play walking bass parts. On the other hand I had the rhythm and chart conventions down fine enough from sightreading pretty advanced treble cleft in my school days. It didn't stop me from "reading" bass clef 90% by ear live at rehearsal. I couldn't read the actual notes. I didn't even know the tunes intimately or at all but I could follow the chart. Can't beat that for getting up to speed. So I think using material you know to get playing along isn't such a bad idea for making progress more enjoyable and probably not slower overall. If you find yourself earing it too much it is time to play it solo. A lot of written bass charts for pop tunes are pretty basic arrangements so you can be a bit hardarse about playing what is written to slow your ear down a bit too.

Nah. Eb is most of the repertoire, you mean pedal E open on occasion.

Neat trick for some perhaps. Personally not up for those mental gymnastics and it only helps open strings. Option 1. Two basses and if they aren't otherwise shagging around themselves one little bit EVER then three basses with the extra backup in the regular Eb tuning. 3 tunes in standard pitch is shagging around PLENTY for that to be the single backup bass.

Prescient Bard, all yours

I dunno. Prescient still gets a bit of use. As in, he was prescient in selling his shares in XYZ Co before they crashed. I was prescient this would get some more discussion.

Mee toooo.

Because evry band name is speld prefect init!

They appear to have randomly ported it instead of transferring everything across. There could be a second port unseen. That one port would be struggling I think. I guess they are really tall to need the angled top speaker? Is it deep enough? If you go check it out all will become clear.

I think it is in need of service. It is getting hot when it shouldn't, after being fine in the case for many years? Cooling is via fan sucking air in the back and exhausting on the far side of the rack unit. If the case were silly deep it might recirculate a little. Nothing draped over the back? Warm air rises. Make sure it is working. Feel where the warm air goes with a damp finger.

Shook Swizzle was the pick of 3 goes

Bugera, rhymes with stuff that accumulates in nostrils, at least as far as their marketing numbers are worth.

Never owned more than one cab from anyone.

I think an 8ohm 210 would be a good upgrade. If it's not enough you can add another. There is the possibility your amp is being overdriven or the outdoor power supply is suspect. Best to try out a 210 with your amp before buying.

You mean the same inside out upside down jack socket?

Inside out and upside down. Or is everyone else's????
