Jim Cairnes bass down in Devon. Wow... that's quite far down south for a Jim bass.

I had a bass built by Bernie Goodfellow with the primary spec that it had to be light - it certainly meets that spec and balances perfectly. Sound wise, it's certainly in the more versatile camp when it comes to bass tones. If you want something a bit different then you could do a far worse!

Ooh - I like that feedback control.

"Nice to hear a guitarist at a sensible volume... they have got it just right - running it hard enough so they can get 'their' tone from the valves"

Solid drummer.

Ditto.

What's your PA? Go in ears and let the PA do all the grunt work. Then you won't need an amp - or go deaf.

Where's JTUK? Wonder what his band is currently going out for?

Just thought - you may want to investigate "electronic ear muffs" or "electronic ear defenders". They are usually the realm of machine operators or sports shooters. Can't say how useful they'd be in an onstage situation but probably worth some investigation. If you do decide to go down the inear route, you may want to investigate the ACS live system. Just make sure the onstage SPL is not too loud for that particular system.

Much improved! Nice work :-)

The bass is on a backing track. There's some singer type playing something that sounds like a stapler...?

In addition to the above - Lint roller and a bobbleoff machine are great for making rat fur cabs look cared for again.

I used to split the signal and blend in that in with the Digiwah. It was a good fun pedal - especially for the money - but it's usefulness for what I wanted was somewhat limited.

It's the same in the Kemper world too. Everybody trying to flog profiles... alot of them absolutely dire... and with no evidence of them actually being their own profiles, or even profiles of what they are reputably meant to be profiles of. The good thing about the Kemper though, is that there are the established folk out there that have the supporting evidence and great sounding profiles that back up their business. MBritt is probably top of the class for that... and in this country, theampfactory.

Yes - there's defo a hybrid Ibanez/Yamaha thing going on there for sure.

Just in case anybody is interested, I'll make you up a similar cable out of bell cable and a couple of crusty jacks and I'll even be charitable enough to charge half of what this guy is asking for. Hell, I'll even throw in free postage.

Paul Gilbert's are actually monitors - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Direct-Sound-Extreme-Isolation-Headphones/dp/B0002GZLY2

I think you are misunderstanding what I'm saying- I'm not going to be trying to recreate anybody's sound... just fixing any problems that may not work out front. If the processed feed that I'm sent is great, then great!

As above, I would take a clean and mic from the cab, or secondary DI from the amp or whatever feed is being thrown at me. This means, that if any bass player has removed their lows because their cab can't cope (unlike the big subwoofers at foh), or done something like scoop the mids so they don't cut through etc, etc... with the blend of the two all bases are covered at all times. I'm running Waves Multirack - I think I have infinitely more tools at my disposal to make things sound right in the mix than the bass player on stage who can't hear what's happening out front! Of course, this is just the way I work, other people may work differently - or may not even care what the band on stage sounds like!

To be honest, if I'm doing sound and you get somebody insistent on using "their" way, I'll take a DI and mic up the cab and blend. I've been caught out once with a distortion with no bottom end to it.. at least with a blended DI and mic, you have some hope of keeping the bass sounding like a bass.

Must admit, that would rile me too if I was doing sound!:p

I think it's all down to the fact that there is lead in the solder.

So if the amp head goes bang, so does the front of house.

@obbm - you reckon you could knock something like this up?
