We should rename the amps and cabs section "kit for dinosaurs" 😜

Something like this? 😎

You could get an extension if you find some you like but with a shorter lead?

I'd go for a five string Fender Jazz, chunky neck and jazz bass tones galore!

That's about what our band gets for the actual gig, lol.

I saw him something the other day and he can't sing at all, the backing vocals were doing all the work.

Far more mature and composed than I would have been with a much better chance of a good outcome.

Good on ya

Yeah, Neds.

James Brown had two. Go Robot is performed by Flea and the tour manager on another bass live. Neds Atomic Dustbin?

Our guitarist used to work most Sundays after he got divorced, if we played a function on a Saturday or any day for that matter really he used to take a packed lunch from the buffet, he even had a roll of tin foil in his kit bag! From every venue he did this he took a plate and another plate on top then wrapped it all in foil, in the end he had to start throwing the plates away as his cupboards were too full at home. If there was a hog roast he'd wrap two full buns in his foil and put them in the back of his Fender Twin to keep warm for after the gig. He even slept for free at the hotel one night as they used to give us a room key to the nearest room to the function room as a store for empty cases etc!

The problem with the vegetarian/vegan option I've found from my own circle of friends is that they are also the most picky and awkward, a bbq with my 'normal' friends can be a few burgers, sausages and buns, ketchup and beers. The veggie version always turns into a feast of half eaten stuff on the kitchen table!

Why do vegans and vegetarians feel the need to make themselves sound special? I dont like fish or gammon for example so I'd just avoid it at a buffet, it's a buffet so you just take things you like, aren't allergic to or have moral issues eating. If there's nothing you like get a McDonald's on the way home! 😋

My big rig consists of a dual channel 900 watt Genz Benz head with a price tag of around £1100 originally and a Genz 2x12 coming in at around £800, its loud, too loud tbh yet my long gone old Peavey TNT remains my favourite bass sound of all time.

I normally go straight into the desk pre EQ from an active bass so the front of house only has the digital desk EQ before it hits the audience, I'm hopefully going ampless altogether, bass to BDDI (or similar) to desk, Desk to in ears, done.

I think we all know a guitarist like this, he's trying to decide on your bass tone and lines yet he's adding in solos where one isn't needed! I fear this won't end well 😖

You've got to take whatever you can get these days!

Casapete beat me to it ^

He had many guitars but called them all Lucille rather than just one guitar for his career.

I did it once twenty years ago, trod on my lead and pulled it out, even at rehearsal I'd take it round the strap now.

Flea has used a black Stingray five for 27+ years, but only in the studio.

We mustn't use terms like "battery neutral" on here, you'll have TimR all over it!!!!

Adam Clayton managed two gigs in a row once without a new signature model for the third gig, does that count?

No but almost all basses with a battery inside use the jack socket as a switch to turn the circuits off. It's just a stereo socket instead of a mono one in the bass and the male end shorts the spare contact to the ground. BBBBzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Didn't work on mine, even says so in the link you posted, well "active pickups". Made a right noise even worse than the noise I usually make!
