Depping for my old band Knock Off

[Lozz196]

My old band Knock Off have decided to part ways with their bassist so have asked me to help them out until they get a permanent replacement.

 

Am looking forward to it, though coaxing that old aggressive sound out is a challenge as now playing Fender JMJ Mustangs rather than Precisions for my backs sake, plus my hands can’t take that battering playing style anymore, am sure I’ll find a way though.
 

Some good gigs lined up (Cocksparrer on May 31st in Islington being the first one up) and will be nice to catch up with a lot of people I’ve not seen since I left at end of 2019.

I still listen to You`re Nicked on YT, brilliant tune and cool video that wasn`t taken down despite you guys reckoning it would be pulled

Sounds good to me mate 👍

My JMJ is just as aggressive as any P bass, with the right amp/preamp settings, you’ll be fine with that weapon of choice. Have fun.

It certainly is. A lot of guys use flats on Mustangs, the JMJ comes strung with flats new but, IMO, the bass only really comes alive with a set of rounds. @Lozz196 back off some bass and low mids, not too much, just enough to keep things clear, push the mid-mids, upper mids and treble a touch, add a bit of drive, give the strings a good old tw@tting with a 2mm plectrum and you'll be a punk rock legend once again!!!
