[quote name='deanovw' timestamp='1467031065' post='3080584'] That one is a Fender. [/quote] This is what they should be selling then surely?!

The eq required on the stage compared to the rest of the room are often very different, why people think the eq that sounded good in a practice room a week ago will automatically be the right one for the venue FOH I can't grasp?

Is his new one with the mm a fender or a custom build?

That does sound like a big tent tbf, although as ebs says as long as the dance floor area is covered you are doing alright.

^ tis the future.

I only think elo were bland in as much as thats what they do, I didn't think they under played. I couldn't watch coldplay if you paid me without punching someone.

When people say as good as the studio version but better, they should link this performance!

Yep ELO, super tight, massive back catalogue, good live mix, great musicians. Not really one of my fave bands but faultless really.

I've rarely heard any live bands get fx laden bass to sit well in a mix, I'm including big names in that, muse, chilis etc, from a punters point of view I'd rather they just got a nice solid core tone and left it at that live, Flea goes from awesome tone in one song to inaudible in the next!

Oops missed the xair18 Defo pre eq and make use of the eq for the bass channel, also is your kick compressed and gated? If not that superb pa will be trying to amplify everything including the bits not needed robbing lots of power.

That pa should sound epic unless you have a guitarist ripping a marshall stack full blast instead of going through foh, thats some tasty PA you have, the 745s would do most gigs I've ever played never mind the subs, for anyone not familiar with those tops they are not like a Mackie thump, the voice coils can pump out enough top end leaving the 15" to handle mainly the bass and kick drum alone, like having a 15" bass cab fed with a 1400 watt head on both sides of the stage , add in them subs and Wow! What desk are you using?

Tim Tofts in stone wouldn't take that long to get to from Liverpool.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1466859536' post='3079412'] I would seriously consider one of the Flea MM/Fender, but this does nothing for me at all. [/quote] I suppose it took them 10 years to release this one, so maybe the mm/jazz will be out it 2026?!

I was hoping it was his new one with the mm pickup.

I might even come out of hiding for another double bass bash! :-D

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1427019105' post='2724656'] What the hell is this? [/quote] A photograph of a rickenbacker with all the bad bits blanked out?

[quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1427017539' post='2724640'] Do you mean the sea salt and chardonnay vinegar ones. because they are without doubt the best crisps,ever. ( Sometimes reduced to £1) [/quote] Sorry, yes thats the ones. Yum

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1426965953' post='2724239'] Nothing more to see here, lock it down I say. [/quote] I agree, I love slagging off Clang sticks as CamdenRob calls them but I've never started a thread years after selling a bass I didn't like just for the hell of it. Lol

Xotic for me or Celinder....GB Spitfire in that baby blue colour maybe.....Alleva.....a Fender if you can get a good one....Sadowsky......Sei.....

I like the coop own brand sea salt and balsamic vinegar ones.

I'm loving the OPs angle of I'm not telling anyone that has one and likes it shouldn't enjoy it I'm just trying to stop anyone else becoming as stupid as those people in the future He's making me want one a bit, is he John hall?

[quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1426925541' post='2723445'] Can I just say that you've wasted all your hard earned cash and should have bought an OLP [/quote] I've got one and I like rice pudding too.

Can I just say I promise this isnt me with a different account

Lol
