It is a strange one isn’t it, and when we listen to isolated bass lines which sounded clear and rounded in the mix - hence us having wanted those clear tones - they’re driven/distorted and often situated in clank city.

Sounds great, nice playing too, I’ve just been learning that song, they had to have been on serious drugs back then, way too complicated and far too many timing changes! Additionally I noticed a very Stranglers/Nice & Sleazy inspiring riff in one of the breakdown parts.

For the music mentioned I’d think that the Bruce Thomas would fit the bill slightly better.

The best 115 cab I’ve had was a Peavey that had a Black Widow speaker. Just that cab and my Trace Elliot AH300 was plenty enough to fill a venue with bass, the kind you felt as well as heard. At the time living on a second floor flat with a 90lb cab and no lifts in my 30s it was manageable, wouldn’t be anywhere near capable of that now.

Definitely, Motley Crue do this very well on their song Wild Side, in the break it drops to drums and guitar, when the bass comes back in the power and depth to the track that it adds is amazing.

I’m out, I had a Fender US Professional Jazz that I was going to move on but have decided not to. Now that’s not a purchase, but deciding to change the pickups and scratch plate on it is 😬

Amen to that, been there and it’s not fun - and why is it that no matter which Travelodge the doors always open the wrong way for loading into the hotel at 2am, making it even more awkward?

Makes a lot of sense, that.

Given the current situation I wonder how many courier companies will levy incorrect charges, be that unknowingly on their part, or knowingly hoping the customer won’t make enquiries.

That is a good deal on a very good bass

I know where you’re coming from, that’s why I went down the two x ABM NEO 210s, each weighs 37lbs and due the diagonal formation stand taller than a regular 410, so easier to hear on stage (and looks better too imo).

I had an SVT410HE & 210HE set up. Paired with an SVT3-PRO it sounded great, but just as I bought it all my band split up, so after a while I sold it all and went lightweight (for a while).

Reminds me of how a well known saying came into meaning: Ships from Newcastle would bring their cargo into London’s docks, then rather return empty they would take a load of urine - which was used as dye for clothing - back with them. On said return journey they would often pass other ships whose crews they knew, who would enquire what cargo they were carrying. They would often say “ we’ve got a great load, really lucrative” to which the response was: “You’re taking the p155”.

I must admit I’ve thought about doing that, ABM600 into the lower one of my 210s for clean lows then the RM500 into the upper one for highs with a bit of drive. As I’ll only likely be using my own rig from now on I can experiment a bit.

But how rich are you now Chris, after all those lottery wins 🤣

I’d reply: Thanks for your interest, please copy the link, paste it into an e-Mail and send it your Dad with my blessings

I was looking at replacement Jazz pickups yesterday and a set that cost £130 plus here are up for £79 at Thomson. I don’t know how the charges are worked but even factoring them in that still looks a deal.

Yes, that happened to band I know, they drove through - not playing in btw - Switzerland, got stopped and had to stump up the applicable costs.
