Very pleasant

Proving beyond reasonable doubt that I’m just not normal, I really like the Ashdown cabs, the ABMs especially so. I have had a fair few and do think that since the EVO-4 range they’ve really improved. They are a fair bit bassier than what comes out of the DI which in the past suited me as my sound had a fair bit of twang/gain/aggression to FOH so having a warmer presence on stage worked nicely, with FOH not having too many uncontrollable lows sent to them.

Thread resurrection, my classic rock band have decided to do this, what a song and what a bass workout. I’m up to about 3mins at the moment. I’ve not found any of the individual parts that taxing, but holy memory capacity Batman, remembering them all is just crazy. I’m sincerely hoping that the next 6mins or so just repeat the first 3mins twice again however I’ve a feeling that just ain’t gonna be the case. If I had any doubts as to how good a bassist The Ox was this has removed the last of them.

I used the sub generator very sparingly when doing In The City by The Jam, given much of the song is high frets having it just about on adds in some low end presence. Other than that I’ve never really been able to put it to regular use.

Of course, tho I’ve got to learn Won’t Get Fooled Again first, so I wouldn’t book the ticket anytime soon…….

In general I use the Shape function, then back off on the lowest frequencies to suit the venue. I know a lot of people aren’t keen on the Shape but it suits me nicely.

That’s great news and a brilliant turnaround from Barefaced.

I don’t think, in all my years of playing bass, that I’ve ever played through any SWR gear. Nothing to do with the gear itself, just none of the bands I’ve gear-shared with had any.

Good to hear

Thanks Dave, Burn is on my list to add in at some point.

Thanks, the Gates of Babylon we do is by Volbeat.

Had a great rehearsal with the classic rock band this evening. Keyboard player has just got himself a new keyboard and it’s really added to the sound. Went through the below and all went well.

I bet that was a great gig!
