[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1502019769' post='3348764'] Only when theres no IEM option available to me! [/quote] You don't need the whole mountain of them though!

Why would you even fit the 'wrong' tuner?

Looking at the posts in the cover band bass tone thread I hope he's managed to get the bass sounds exact for each track!

Ooh that looks very pretty!

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1501934048' post='3348315'] WOW!! [/quote] Add much as I slag them off they are still great looking basses wow indeed.

That's not really my point. My function band has one guitarist,one male drummer/singer,one bassist and one female singer, should we restrict ourselves to only play songs that fit that line-up? Having the exact bass sound is miles down the list imo, suitable and decent bass sound where possible obviously but even that's subjective.

Running a pub tends to attract a certain element of society, basically the ones with no home or qualifications so it fills both criteria until they realise it is not the same as 'going to the pub' that they have been so good at previously!

Standard internet way of thinking these days, if someone asks if it is vital to do something and lots of people say no, those that do whatever it is take that as they are in the wrong. Is it vital? No, is it wrong for those that do? No.

We need to see it!

Playing originals in a party/function gig environment is no different to playing unknown songs by well known artists, they might be great songs but they'll fall flat on their faces. Once I'd come to terms with the fact fame and fortune as a musician wasn't going to happen it became a choice of gigging known songs to an audience that were enjoying it or playing mainly to half empty rooms full of younger people wondering why anyone over the age of 25 would try and write a song, lol.

A perfect little amp for touring musicians then as long as they don't tour too far!

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1501709482' post='3346869'] It's got to be SMPS? [/quote] I'm talking about the amp side of it, does it have an external transformer like a lap top or a conventional 'kettle' plug and if so does it have voltage switching? How come Genz Benz managed auto voltage switching over ten years ago yet it's not found very often on new amps?

Yep I'm louder with a pick too, I just knock a tad of treble off and I'm good to go.

What type of power supply does it have?

It was all fields around here........

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1501692107' post='3346636'] Probably just me but I could never get a sound I liked. [/quote] No me neither, I was all about Peavey when trace were fashionable. I think the commando combo sounded best too fwiw.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1501666861' post='3346329'] Why not go modular and use 2 smaller cabs like Barefaced 1x10s? My cat weighs more than those! [/quote] The single Genz 2x12T would demolish a pair of those 1x10 cabs and yes I've tried one.

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1501657113' post='3346194'] & who's going to shift the PA ? [/quote] You can gig without a bass amp but you can't gig without a pa (unless you're the shadows in a small venue).

I've started using a 1x12 cab for my monitoring and everything else goes out via a pair of RCF 735 class D PA speakers, I've got no interest in lugging heavy gear around to deafen myself and bandmates

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1501603886' post='3345861'] Ha ha - yes and he doesn't even use them live anymore! [/quote] Greedy ain't he?!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1501603054' post='3345852'] At this point in my life, I can't think of a reason I'd committ to a "start up" band. Blue [/quote] And the flip side question that needs asking if joining an established band "what happened to the last bass player?". I'd honestly say that learning to play an instrument to a level good enough to get out gigging is easier than getting an actual band together!

There's someone in this thread sitting on four 2x10 EBS cabs and both a 650 and 350 head!

If someone wants to spend a couple of grand on a badly made bass to try and upset some people on the internet they've never met I think they've got bigger issues than not liking this guys banter!
