The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Lozz196 replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I was a bit undecided re the various choices of Mustangs out there, in the end I went for the JMJ due to both neck width but also thought if going Mustang get one with Mustang pickups rather than Precision pickups. -
For bass players - who preffer to sing back vocals ?
Lozz196 replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Def helps the band imo, but then that`s me coming from a punk background where football-terrace backing vox were the thing. If doing covers I generally go with were there any on the recording or does the lead singer need help on a chorus, be it to lift the song further or did the original have the lead singer doing a harmony as well as the main line. -
I think if all of the other instruments are going through the PA then one cab and DI, if it`s (intended) only vocals and a kick-drum presence in the PA then another cab as well for a greater depth of sound.

For those who have had to use a backup bass, why?
Lozz196 replied to Lozz196's topic in General Discussion
Multiple options - well it took me multiple attempts to even get this up & running I`m afraid (not the best at techlife) -

Gotta be electrical I suppose -
For those who’ve had to use a backup bass, why? I’ve started off with electrical fault - tho the backup was in fact a borrowed bass.

Yep, follow the singer, I’ve seen band do otherwise and it ends up as a gangfurk.

That`s a darn fine rig, bet it sounds immense

Ingenious!

Car stereos for goalposts?

Another hissy fit - Sleaford Mods this time
Lozz196 replied to mr4stringz's topic in General Discussion
Well the name isn’t a clue, not mods and not from Sleaford. -
Got to be the psychedelic given the band name, I’d keep the rest of the bass standard tho.

Definitely, in my last band to have consistency in sound I used a Sansamp with my ABM600 (or whatever other rig I was playing through) all the time, it was only in my current classic rock band that I really used the ABM600 on its own and was knocked out by how good it is. Sadly I’ve had to move mine on now but it will I’m sure forever be my favourite amp. I just wish Ashdown would do an ABM preamp-pedal/DI.

Moving Pictures, a Rush tribute, in The Craufurd Arms, Milton Keynes. I’m not that familiar with Rush’s material but what a night, they were incredible and from what I’ve seen online I’d have been hard pushed to tell one band from the other by sound alone, amazing musicianship. Big thumbs up to The Craufurd as well, they’ve really grown the venue over the last 10 or so years, get some very good bands there now.

I’m pretty much the same, if the criteria to see bands was leaping about and waving arms in the air then I’d be barred from every venue in the country. -
In my last band we - well the lead singer - had an amazing amount of contacts established as much through chatting to people at other bands gigs as chatting to them after our gigs. We were easy to work with, professional in approach and never let anyone down so the contact list grew favourably as a result. If we’d been the same band but prima donnas, always late & cancelling would we have done so much, I doubt it.

Thing is (up until this) she might have got home, to work etc and told people that she had the best night ever and that the band were amazing. Just because people aren’t jumping about and waving their arms in the air doesn’t mean they’re not enjoying the show. It’s not the audiences responsibility to perform for the artists.- 83 replies

I’m thinking of one of those bass cases with wheels at the moment Chris, as at present it’s literally just a case that I take - as you say if it can be wheeled rather than carried.
-
At the moment carrying one bass is a task in itself so I’ve it is but as soon as I’m ok to take two two it will be. The only time I’ve ever needed a backup was the time I didn’t take one, and no it wasn’t strung breakage but an iffy jack socket that was working fine before I put the bass in the case for the gig.
-
Sadly with the way things are going good old fashioned cash on collection is often the safest way.

Always used to be two, one to use, one as backup. Last few gigs I’ve only taken one. I really should get back to two but back dictates carrying minimal amounts of gear now.
