As artists, whether it be music, or painting, cinema, they are all open to criticism, rightly or wrongly. Goes with the territory of the job.

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. or when he plays with The Dave Matthews band. He can sit in with a band perfectly and play what I think you expect from a bass player. But it’s Victa - people want to see tricks. And it’s the tricks that surface on YouTube - purely because it’s stuff that he has innovated or most people simply can’t pull off themselves.

There's a prime candidate... but I'm not going to go there. Moving swiftly on before this thread goes south...

EBS HD350 - I don't know why but it sound slightly sweeter than the TD650. Bags of attack, sparkly, airy highs and a bit of drive brings in the warm and grit if required. Despite it's modest output, it's plenty loud of enough with loads of headroom due to the shelving of the subby mess in the low end. Use one in a band and you'll see what I mean. Old school maybe - but they aren't too big and heavy. The only thing I like better, is the HD350+ which is effectively the front end of the HD350 with the power amp of the TD650. Never was commercially available - but was commonly used by the likes of Marcus Miller.

I have to say though, my DJ5 Skyline was pretty good - no problems there. I think for the price I paid for it (I think it was about a grand at the time) was pretty decent value for money.

How I dream of having a house big enough in which to have a workshop!

I'm amazed at the prices Dan Lakin is commanding with new basses too, especially when he's so open that it's basically parts that he gets, then sends on to his assembler... to then chuck a massive price tag on it.

Man, I played in a 5 piece band where the bass player was the fifth best bass player in the band. (I was playing guitar). Thing is, he’d probably got 10 years playing on everybody else.

I’d always take a decent PA cab over a bass cab. Much more versatile (as long as it’s truly a decent PA cab)

Man plugs into 30 year Peavey Hisys and finds it terrible shocker.

USP that adds to the Wal voodoo.

Pretty much. There's a few basses out there, where the tone is largely down to the electronics. GB, Wal, BBNE2, Schack... without those bits... well...

Nobody commenting on the fact that the singer was the first to arrive?

Yeah... nah.

I may have. I’ll have a looksie

Don't think I ever posted this -

Spending! (Or saving depending which angle you come from)

Nobody will say about the delay. It's more about the feeling and what it does to your sense of timing. If you wore IEMs, I guarantee you'd notice.

The AKG is analogue - so the latency from that will be negligible. All latency is gonna be coming from your other wireless and the latency of the Helix. Of course, the downside of the analogue wireless system is that it has a compander - which can colour your tone and impact your dynamics somewhat.

Im sure Davie and his bank balancing are mourning the loss!

The OP reminded me of a NYE gig that I did out UAE. Bruno had just dropped and was pretty hot... and so naturally, the band I was in decided we should follow suit and learn the moves etc. So we did. At the end of the gig, this guy comes up to me and says, "You know what son, when I closed my eyes, I could have sworn with groove like that, the bass player was a brother. Then I saw you dance. Yeah man, you white." - Turned out he was the Mayor of Dallas(? - it was something like that) and one of the funniest, most charming guys I've met. Had us in stitches - and he even went back to his room to fetch one of his prize football shirts to give to the singer as a sign of his appreciation.

She has to - because she has to have enough visual appeal for both of them. Man, that guitarist is boring.
