    I was in a band where 2 of us played bass, I took the more traditional bass role, the other bassist took a more Hooky approach. We also had drums, 3 guitars, keyboards and 2 singers so quite a lot going on.

    Def one advantage of wireless kits - walk out into the audience area and hear what is being done to the sound of the band.

    This definitely. I played a gig, DI from my Sansamp to FOH as usual, lots of top-end twang plus some drive when digging in. After the gig the soundguy said to me he had a nightmare with my bass sound trying to get it to sound like a proper bass, but by removing the top end and high mids he got it sounding like a regular P-bass. So I`d given him JJ Burnell, he gave the audience James Jamerson (I`m talking sounds here, not the playing btw). Doh!

    If the receiver unit in the Shure was battery powered I`d have one but due to my back I don`t want to be leaning over amps & cabs to find plug sockets as this really aggravates it. I redently decided to go back to cables so sold a couple of wireless kits but then our singer bought a Shure unit and said that given his situation - he had part of his leg cut off last year and now has a prosthetic leg - he can`t afford to have leads all over the place so I`ve bought one of the 5.8 NUX units as it seemed to be the most user friendly for my needs. It`s being delivered today and I have a rehearsal on Thu so I`ll report my findings.

    I started on a Kay short-scale bass (their EB-O copy). Now, after having been through many different basses over the years and settling on Fender Precisions for a long time I now, due to worsening back issues, am back on short-scale basses, this time Fender Mustangs.

    Have a good one at Rebellion, hope all goes great!

    Nice one Clarky

    When we played with Sham 69 Dave Tregunna was using a Squier (Precision I think).

    Won’t be a problem whichever you use.

    A wig room? Well I’d be alright then……
  11. Lozz196
    Good luck with the audition @Clarky
  12. Lozz196
    I’d suggest the Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precision from your description above.
  13. Lozz196
    Does the Shure work completely on batteries or does the receiver unit have to have a PSU?

    Nice one, I had a Hartke rig a good few years ago and it was really good (HA4000 with XL 210 & 115 cabs), must be great to get an endorsement from a company whose gear you really like, very pleased for you.

    How do you find the EBS Microbass sound in comparison to the Ashdown @uk_lefty? I’ve considered these for a while but the online demos seem to be slap-pop-mungus.
  16. Lozz196
    In a punk covers band I was in we decided to do The Sex Pistols version of Substitute, received a lukewarm response at best.
  17. Lozz196
    The American Performer has same width neck as the JMJ, does have an additional Jazz pickup but the rest pretty similar.
  18. Lozz196
    Does it buzz on every fret, if not due to age it may be fret wear contributing to this.
  19. Lozz196
    Having just acquired a Squier Classic Vibe Mustang Bass I`d def recommend these, can be picked up for around the £300 mark second hand. I`m very impressed with mine.
  20. Lozz196
    One of those bands that I`ve really come to appreciate later in life, think I`ll go to see them when they`re next nearby.
  21. Lozz196
    Agree, def one of the best basses I’ve ever played, they just work so well (for me that is).
  22. Lozz196
    I`m another that who, although I`ve been playing since 15 has had the most successful period in music from late 40s onwards so def don`t let the age of 45 make you think there`s nothing for you now. I`d agree with the going to venues that do that music you like and getting it known that you`re looking for an opportunity. Might not be instant but you`ll be enjoying yourself whilst doing your research.

    Martin responded to a Wanted Ad I`d placed for a Squier CV Mustang Bass in Oly White. Good comms throughout, speedy delivery and a cracking bass to boot, thoroughly recommended.
  24. Lozz196
    I care what my gear looks like but I don’t care what others think it looks like. There are undoubtedly some very fine instruments that I would probably love playing but I’m unlikely to ever find out due to how they look.
  25. Lozz196
    If you def want to take an amp that will deliver then the Tonehammer - given you use the pedal already - makes perfect sense, they’re small, light, incredibly loud, and sound great. I used to use them and paired mine with so many different cabs, always easy to get a decent sound.
