stingrayPete1977

What a great clip! We played rock around the clock on saturday as a tribute to the recently departed comet bassist

Cool

Btw I have the same amp as the OP, brilliant they are!

I always go for pre on the di and leave my bass eq controls alone once we are playing other than cutting some treble on my bass if I'm using a pick, saves the sound engineer constantly having to adjust his end anyway. If it's a marquee I also tend to go for a sound that cuts through for me to hear rather than what I would consider a good bass sound from my rig, hopefully the sound engineer has mixed me a juicy sound out front from my fairly flat pre eq stingray signal

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1370852413' post='2106177'] ....then comes the really hard bit; playing well with other musicians. [/quote] Get that nailed and you can begin learning to slap!

I have been playing guitar/bass for 26 years (bass as my first instrument for 20+) I have had lessons off our very own doddy, he has lessons off Yanek Gwizdala, Yanek has lessons off someone else.

[/quote] [quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1370801775' post='2105770'] A statement that doesn't even come close to being a sweeping generalisation in that it is so wrong, it's actually embarrassing to read. [/quote] JTUK often tells us tales of these terrible bands but we never get to see his

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1370794378' post='2105599'] Yeah - it's usually the drummer. [/quote] I said musicians

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1370770006' post='2105217'] But.... if you see local bands the bass is more than likely going to be the weakest... either from a technical point of view or they don't know what the EQ section does or even what the notes are on the bass and what constitutes a scale or chord. [/quote] We must be lucky as we have some great musicians including bassists in our local bands, its about time you put up a few links to your work as your so critical all the time without us seeing the goods

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1370654402' post='2104121'] Went to a rehearsal this evening and started playing, and realised that the skunk stripe on the back of the neck has raised proud of the surface. really not sure weather this is a major issue other than feeling it. has anyone else had this.. it has not affected the playability of the bass, no buzzing etc. just wondered if this might get worse in any way.? it is only raised in one area of about 2 inches. still worries me to be honest. [/quote] You don't sound like you have as much faith in the local guys advice before? Could you try loosening the rod off completley, if the skunk stripe moves back in under thumb pressure then its clearly being pushed out by the rod and needs fixing?

I don't think so mate, I think it bends backwards in the centre under tension either against the skunk stripe near the middle or finger board towards the ends. I'm afraid I'm with Rich, goosed

Drop it in from the front and it acts against the finger board?

We can argue the toss over exact makes and models but I really think 12's are where its at these days, 1 for the dog and ferret, 2 for decent stages or marquees etc, 4 or 8 for knebworth

Surely the truss rod acts against the skunk stripe?

Hey Yolanda, really enjoyed your set at the Manchester bass day a few years ago! Now your giving me ideas about a Mayones bass too

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1370518516' post='2102063'] Why not get a 5-string Ric then? [/quote] I only like the look of the 4001 ?? what is there available as a Ric 5'er? Do the still have all the stuff I hate about regular ones?
