Fight back, every time with stuff like this. Stupid/drunk punters, who think musicians are there for them to abuse, are often shocked that a band member will leave the stage and pursue them half way across town......

I have, many times.....

Mostly used that Rick copy live for 'the look' (Weller used Ricks). Nearly all Jam recordings were a P

Bruce Foxtons Ricky was a copy. He did most of The Jam stuff on a Precision, which he still does.

Richie McCracken in Taste rocking that white Precision was a massive influence on my early playing

1st reply says it all really. I use a QSC PLX2402 which is class H. Plenty of power, not too heavy. Just check that you pre-amp has enough output to drive your power amp, which my SRW Grand Prix does with no problem in this set up.

For a bit of old school optical compression, I can recommend the SGFX Imperial. Can be very fat and adds its own character, a lot like McCartneys sound on Taxman

Try The Marcus King Band for a modern funky approach.

I've yet to play with a drummer outside of Texas that can nail it. Most bass players play it wrong as well
