Sorry but that's horsesh!t. Bowie used samples in loads of songs. Remember that tune he made with Goldie in the 90s? It was all samples.2 points

Right. I tried the QSC at rehearsal last night. Observations: - 5 piece band: drums, keys, 2 guitars, bass + vocals (Americana/rock) - Plenty of headroom - more than enough. Lots. Like buckets of it. I was at about half vol on the QSC and controlled volume on the bass or Preamp pedal. - It plays with Preamp pedals very well - gave a good representation of the sound I was after - Lots of bass for a 4 string - never felt like the lows were struggling - No parping out or rattling - nice and smooth. Response was as good as a Barefaced Compact and it was louder. - Projection across the room was also good All in all it worked very well.2 points

None of my basses play like butter thankfully. I play in a mod band and often sport a tonic suit. The mixture of heat a dairy based spreads would be a disaster.2 points

It as taken an incredibly high quality powered PA monitor to dethrone this amp but sadly it’s time to let it go! German made - tiny and built to last. 900 watts @ 4ohms, 600 watts @ 8ohms. Lovely clear, rich tone with a great EQ section. This is in great condition with no scratches or dents. Comes with Tecamp soft case, power cable and speakon cable. No box. Price includes tracked U.K. shipping. file1 point

I have one of these. Was my main gigging bass for many years. Best neck I’ve ever played. These are super rare now, especially in the UK.1 point

I always find criticisms of musicians as “flash” or “busy” a bit strange, as if the only sign of a great musician is restraint, regardless of whether that’s what is required at a particular point in time. I always got the impression Buddy was doing his damnedest to swing his band into outer space, which is a fairly admirable trait for a jazz drummer in my book.1 point

I had a nice pair of Vanderklay 1x12 MNT's with it, but also tried, 2x10 and 1x15 combo, and a 2x12 Eminence custom cab with the D800. Loved the D800, but the whole rig was a fair bit of money to carry around, then joined a band where I needed a monitor and didn't have one. So I decided to go down this route. Happy so far, early days, but I miss the tone from the Mesa D800. With the two DI's out from the Subway DI, I figure I can feed one into the QSC and one into the desk, and then mix my own mix on the back of the FRFR. So... Bass into pedal board, Mesa DI, FRFR, earplugs, and I'm done. It's certainly plenty loud enough, that's for sure. I haven't tried the Mesa DI yet, I'll probably order one this week...1 point

It wouldn't be Buddy if he didn't mouth off. Buddywas more than a great drummer, he was also a celebrity a personality. People expected and we're entertained by his antics. Blue1 point

In that case, getting yourself one of these monitors is the perfect move. I’ve just discovered this myself and now I can’t imagine having a better rig. My usage scenarios are identical to yours. A quality FRFR speaker is a jack of all trades and master of all.1 point

Yep, I concur! I put a pair of Fatbeams on my Stingray 5 and haven't changed them since 2009...1 point

Barefaced Compact - bit of a stalwart round these parts. I chose the 10's as a compromise between output and size/weight It's fine at low volumes - obviously you lose a bit of bottom, but it does a good job.1 point

Might be worth adding - I used to use a LM Mk III with a BF Compact for rehearsing in the same room - with the Preamp into the fx return. That would have been set to 50% on gain and just over 70% on Master for a similar volume level. The reality is that volume (or at least sound pressure wise) the QSC gives monitoring volume about the same as a decent 500w head into a 15" cab. Depth wise it's not as full and rich as a 15" cab, but it gives a much wider and fuller sound - more detailed, and more expansive. My original intention was to have this for on stage monitoring and direct to PA for gigging - it does this perfectly and fulfils the brief completely. Oh, and it's one thing to carry and a lot smaller and lighter than a big cab and an amp head...1 point

Have Andertons actually taken on board some of the stuff that was thrown at Lee? I don't think I need a spoiler here but: I know that Andertons videos are hitting thousands of views, but I'd like to see less finger-pluckn and more pick work. Also, if you're showing off a brand new copy reissue clone of a vintage bass, then have an actual vintage one there for comparison sake. Having a 60s vibe is meaningless unless you have something to put it up against.1 point

the bass fly rig has a clean boost too, use it. you can select it before or after the sansamp module. Use it before for that extra dirt. works for me. or, buy the Ampeg SCR DI, I love mine. Love my fly rig too, it's always a dilemma which one to use lol1 point

My housemate is a 4X sized ex-competition weight lifter. That's his next Christmas pressie sorted if @Grassiefollows through with shirt merch (or shmerch as I like to think of it). PS: It's got to have to have a BC logo on it if it's a shirt.1 point

Great poster. How about putting them in chronological order (sorry, I'm a Virgo). That would also show the development as well.1 point

Same here with Fat Beams. However, everytime I try a new set I get a little disappointed... until they wear out *just* a little bit, then I remember why I liked them so much. If I were an extravagant billionaire man, I'd have a guy wearing all my strings to perfection before I play them.1 point

Tell any classical conductor, composer or teacher that a chord is made of two notes and you'll get three options : he will die immediately, he will tell you that it's the best joke of the year or he will smash your face with his desk three times to help you understand the music theory ! And if your minor or major third sounds odd it's because of the tempered tuning (say hello Bach). If you want to hear all your notes precisely and exactly in tune : play fretless !1 point

Think of it this way, say another band on the same night had an extra guitarist and keys - the FOH would have to deal with those extra channels then, why should you be treated any different. Just class the B9 as your keyboard player! The B9 has a dry output, so unless you want to split your signal beforehand so you can send an octave up into the B9 (which I recommend trying), just go into the B9 first and send the dry output to the rest of your bass chain. I really like the B9 going into a bit of overdrive or even a dirty guitar amp (that you could then mic up), so give that a try too!1 point

What’s your monitoring going to be like? If good then I’d say take your bass and Evo head since you have all your modelling etc in there. If there’s no guarantee of decent monitoring then take you cab too, just in case. Better to have it and not need it than the other way around.1 point

I would sum all your signals back to one point before sending it to your amp or FOH. Though the soundy might be really happy with 3 DIs that he can control.1 point

I bought a Bartolini preamp from Steve. He sorted the best deal out for postage to The Netherlands. The preamp was secure packed. Highly recommended seller for me. Thanks, Steve!1 point

Huge thanks to Steve for the excellent Subway 800, for which I am extremely grateful. Dealing with him has been a totally positive experience1 point
