Interesting, I think solo’d I prefer the Sire but not sure how good in the mix it would be. Also interesting is that didn’t notice much difference between the Squier & the Fender.

Good colour co-ordination

Fender Deluxe/Elite Precision, J pickup def useable especially on active mode. I find I can get a good Cranberries/Zombie sound from it.

A 410 v 115 from the same range should def be louder. Having had the 4ohm 410 and the 8ohm 210 from the RM range the 410 was def louder. I put this down to double the number of speakers as much as the impedance, as there was just a much bigger sound with it.

Both JJ Burnell & Bruce Foxton played black/black/maple Precisions. Nothing out of the ordinary so no need for pics but they made a big impression on me.

I think I’m a FONBLE sufferer too

Great review on the SH1 Dan, what are your impressions of the Rotosound Ultra Mags, they sound great on the clip.

Agree, the regular Player Series are great basses and priced at the right point.

They’re sealed, nice little cabs, I’ve got two 210s tho yet to use them with band.

Def pick, but that’s prob cos I’m a pick player

Ashdown ABM PRO NEO range fits the bill nicely.

I think I prefer the B7k, the VU seems to sit in with the guitars better making one big sound but the B7k seems to sit slightly underneath allowing the sound of both the bass and guitars to be heard. Horses for courses though.

He’s one of the Mods on here, might be worth messaging him for some assistance: @gary mac Make sure you put the space in as there is a garymac as well.

How far is Hoddesden from Cambridge @MrWriter, as our very own Gary Mac is there and he does great work. Anything I can’t do myself I take to Gary and he always sorts it for me.

Your guitarist has a great sound there Paul

Agree, as has been said it seems it’s the imperfections that make these parts sit so well in the tracks.

The eye contact thing does work but it can backfire, as many people have come up to me and mentioned that I looked like I was going to jump into the audience and kill them. I wasn’t, I was just looking to see if the audience were enjoying the bands set, so I make sure I now smile a bit more on stage. Better to look simple than like an axe murderer.

Wow!!

Might be worth contacting Aguilar see if they can sort one [email protected]

It’s always nice when you get “the sound in your head” coming out of a live rig isn’t it. For me it was finally hearing myself playing a Precision with a band, that’s when I really found “me” on bass.

I always get Roqsolid. I’ve had Hotcovers ones before and agree that the padding is better but as per the comment, they don’t fold up too well so you have to find space to store your cab-sized cover. Which can be a bit of a pain in pub venues with no dedicated storage areas.

On us, how very dare he tease us in this manner!!

Just got back from rehearsal, first time I’ve used my RM500 EVO2 with the band and it sounded great, if anything I need to tweak it to reign it in a bit. It was through an Ampeg 810 though. Shape in, touch of compression & drive. Might either take off the drive or put a set of Rotosound flats on my Precision, reckon for 70s classic rock they should work nicely with the RM.

Yes nice lows but again not the super modern type low lows that we hear now, more like the low end of say 70s & 80s bands, such as The Jam, Duran Duran, Wham etc, lows that were heard as well as felt.
