Bump. -
In my experience a lot of people regard their gear, both basses and rigs, as status symbols, imagining that owning "desirable" gear somehow gives them a credibility they would otherwise lack. This is both tragic and stupid.

[quote name='discreet' post='749597' date='Feb 18 2010, 12:52 PM'] Excellent!

They have notoriously refused to put all tambourines "beyond use".

[quote name='chris_b' post='748255' date='Feb 17 2010, 11:48 AM']I've got 3 priorities; first to impress and lock with the drummer, then as a rhythm section we have to impress the band, then as a band we have to impress the promoter and audience. The audience doesn't need to know what I've played, but as long as the audience thinks the band's great and the band thinks I'm great then it's a job well done![/quote] This. After my other half came to our first gig, she said "I couldn't hear you". What she meant, it transpired, was that she could not separate out in her mind that portion of the noise for which my bass was responsible. I think an awful lot of people are like that.

Bump for price drop, and to get the attention of the weekend lurkers.

Hi, I'm a (not-intensively) gigging London bassist, playing in an originals band. When I joined them I thought I'd best get "tooled up" up bought myself a MarkBass 121P combo, as the lightest, most portable gig-worthy rig I could find at the time. That was about 18 months ago, and I've never once had to use the amp. Every rehearsal room we've booked has had a bass amp provided, and every gig we've played has had amps / drumkit provided by the promoter. I'm now wondering if I should sell the combo, as it seems a shame to have it sitting in the corner "just in case" - especially as it's the most valuable bit of music kit I own. May not apply to you if you're playing in a covers/function type band: "originals" gigs, if you're unknowns like us, tend to involve 5 or more bands on the same bill, so they don't have time to swap out all the gear, or the space to hold 5 bands' amps and drumkits.

Weekly bump.

Purcell - Dido and Aeneas - and it's just coming up to the best bit.

"Core Tone" isn't very important in your bass.

[quote name='silddx' post='735159' date='Feb 4 2010, 03:49 PM']It is media and manufacturer bullshit and player insecurity, mostly, that dictates buying habits. It creates a sustainable industry.[/quote] Truer than a true thing on National Truth day. Just say no to GAS - it's addictive and it doesn't get you anywhere - just a temporary high, then you're back wanting your next fix. -
[quote name='Tait' post='735105' date='Feb 4 2010, 02:57 PM']in all fairness, i've listened to the other bands on myspace and stuff and they seem like decent bands.[/quote] I wonder if they'll sound as good without a drumkit.

[quote name='obbm' post='731777' date='Feb 1 2010, 02:51 PM']The solution has been a Precision body, Jazz neck with PJ pick-ups.

Roland Products: changing internal battery
Earbrass replied to sub-a-dub's topic in Accessories and Misc
Hi, You could try asking this at [url="http://forums.rolandclan.info/"]http://forums.rolandclan.info/[/url] There are often Roland reps lurking, and they can be very helpful. Regards, E -
There's a bass failure in the Stones' 'Let It Bleed'; I seem to remember the bass jumping up to the III chord late on one verse. Also the early Dylan albums are full of band mistakes.

Of, course, this is just the prototype; the production model will have seven strings.

I have two Peavey Milestone III's - my only 2 basses. Not quite identical as one's red and one's sunburst.
