This sounds so familiar. Been there done it ! Don’t let your ears and inner thoughts deceive you into hearing your ideal tone in a bass you’ve never actually played. I’m tired of chasing tone. If you can’t get the sound your looking from the really high end basses you own. Then I think your going to struggle with what ever bass you gas for next. By all means get your JD but not at the expense of getting rid of a bass you love.

Gosh. Where to start id like to hear a discussion about the impact of a basses set up and how the ideal set up is achieved

Happens to me all the time 😂

You sound great. Vote cast. Good luck !!

Had the pleasure of meeting Rich and Jackie this morning. Wonderful people. Deal with confidentiality. Hope the Camper Van works out ! Take care both.

They are brilliant. Much underrated !!

The Irish folk band im on we do a version of Gulf coast highway. It's not the bass line. it's the audience reaction when our harmonies come together both vocally and the violins. It sends shivers up my spine.

I would, if the bass player was better 😂

Any update?

I’d ring ahead and have the stuff ready to collect. Keep your eyes closed and hand over the cash. 😂

It might be worth looking into the Aux fed subwoofer technique. We have use it successfully for ages. Simply you just route any instrument that has low frequency is routed via an aux out to the subs. So in our case. Kick, floor tom,key and bass. This reduces muddy sounds and leaves the speakers to do the job they are designed for. We also use RCF and the magical settings on our Presonus desk sorts out compression etc. Might be worth a try if your setting down for a pa geek session.

I was in there the other day. They have got some amazing stock in at the moment. Some of the second-hand stuff is orgasmic. Not to sure whos been shifting stuff but wow!

We played a boozer near Cannock. When I pulled up there were two guys fighting in the car park. Should have just driven home. Wen set up played the gig. An awful lot of gesturing and punters acting out sexualised behaviour on each other, with inflatable guitars. Our singer cut the set about 5 minutes short, ( which i was annoyed about) Packed up, went to pick up the silver coin and the gaffers wife refused to play as we had finished early. This was true, all be it 5 minutes. I said ok pay us what you think is fair. They were itching for a fight. We were escorted out of the pub like we were in a spaghetti western. A guy followed us to our cars still itching for a punch-up. Our guitarist, who has some serious anger issues obliged and slapped at least four of the possie before we hit the road out of dodge. We still talk about it ten years on. Good times!!

Brilliant. Rock and Roll

No wall, but ready to hit the road in my trusted transit ( long base, double wheel btw) Happy days

Great tones and sound from all three of them. Very Cool

One of the issues I have. Is with venues that leave their TV’s on. I get so distracted by call the midwife etc. Drives me mad
