    Was at the Blues Kitchen in Brixton last night and there was a house band playing R&B/Soul. All good. Apart from they didn't have a bass player 😅. 

    Made for slightly odd listening.

    Well pleased with the results from my recent recording session with my Tom Petty tribute https://www.facebook.com/heartfakersband/?hc_ref=ARRcWgx8vn_Kwfj-SPRAeZ7M_TrGAx5qVpTM6faIZWYKgSkoyj5RmceQawTn36EwhVA&fref=nf

    My teeny, ultra lightweight, Fender rumble 100 V3, managed a loud(ish) blues gig in a crowded bar last night. I was very impressed. It was up against drums, keys and a guitarist going through a 50w Sound City head. I was told, by another bassist in the audience, that it had a nice deep low end as well (and the volume wasn't even maxed out).

    I'm very impressed.

      I was playing at the Barony bar with a guy called Sandy Tweeddale. It was not a band, as such, he'd put us together just to play the gig (I knew the set as I'd played with him many times previously).

      My everyday band also plays the Barony (The Dana Dixon Band) but they play pretty loud. I may bring the Rumble along next time we play there on May 6th, to see if it can keep up. I usually bring my GK MB500 and Barefaced Compact.

      The only other venues we play are Whistlebinkies and Stramash, where the backline is supplied.

      Yes I had everything at 12 o'clock, except for the bass knob. No vintage, contour or bright switched on. I have a  500 watt amps and a barefaced compact that I usually use but I have to stand so close to my cab, at this particular bar, that I can't really hear it (it just flaps my trousers).

      The fact that I had it sitting on a wooden floor probably enhanced the bass frequencies.

      I put it on a wooden floor and took the bass down to about 9 o'clock. This stopped the speaker struggling to reproduce too much bass while the wooden floor reinforced the low end.

      I used it for a gig with my country band recently too. But they are much quieter.

      Are you sure it's not just for one string?
