I’m way out of this. But in my defence I’ve only bought gear that I need due to health issues.

They are lightweight, they are loud, but be prepared to make a change in your eq. Being uncoloured they really change the sound of an existing set-up and it takes a while to get it back (unless the uncoloured version is preferred of course). For me I moved away from BF as I found that I preferred the coloured sounding cabs but I’d never knock them, they’re great products and will handle pretty much anything.

Yep, something will turn up, keep your playing up to scratch and socialise where local bands are and seize the opportunity when it comes along.

Well I had a chat with a Basschatter earlier who suggested that as I love the JMJs why not get the necks slimmed down. So tentative enquiries made to The Bass Gallery, have to take one in to get a quote but fingers crossed I’ll be able to keep the basses I love.

Justin Meldal-Johnsen, it’s his signature bass

I love the JMJs, as a Precision player for many years the neck on them was so familiar it made the changeover to short scale so easy, however due to developing arthritis in my left thumb I’ve had to switch allegiance to the MIJs which I find less painful to play. In all honesty if I could have stuck with the JMJs I would have, but needs must and the MIJs aren’t a compromise, they’re great basses too.

New amp and cab for under £1000 - advice please!
Lozz196 replied to HP BASS's topic in Amps and Cabs
The difference between the RM500 EVO I & II is that the I has a shiny front panel rather than matt and is double the weight (tho still only about 4kg). Volume, EQ and soundwise they’re the same, I’ve had both, still have the EVO II. -
In all seriousness get a cab and take the amp & Super Compact. Less sweatiness when you get to the venue, power you know will cope and no dreading the walk back after a gig carrying your gear.

Never seemed like showboating to me Pete, your gig reviews have always been great imo, especially when including things like the long hours on the road afterwards, something that can often be forgotten about, details like these made the reviews nicely balanced.

Are short scale basses really as bad as they say?
Lozz196 replied to Cheeto726's topic in General Discussion
I’m a recent convert to short scale basses (Mustangs). As well as the weight reduction which was the primary reason for switching I’ve found that they just really suit me, the sound, the practicality of having smaller lighter case to cart about/fit in the car, everything. Sure not every instrument will be right for everyone but those that say short scales are rubbish & dead, well that may be the case for them but certainly not for me. -

From the not wanting something with a lot of upkeep/that can’t be fixed comments I’d look at Ashdown, especially as you’re in Essex (as are they). In my opinion Fender & Ashdown work very well together. But I’d def look at used gear, really maximise your options. -
The other thing I’ve found is that if it has the three foldable legs position it in front of you as in the Y shape. Then if someone comes flying forwards into it it goes to either the left or the right due to the leg that’s pointing at you. Whereas if you position it like an upside down Y it hits you straight in the face.

I tried watching it as from the ads it looked great, sadly lasted 15mins and gave up.

I have to agree, whilst I don’t dislike Teenage Kicks there are much better songs from The Undertones, You’ve Got My Number, Wednesday Week, Julie Ocean to name a few which are all quite different showing just how good a band they were.

I can’t see that happening, none of them will have credit cards to use for food/drinks/toilets/use of emergency exits…… -
How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Lozz196 replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Well that’s a good question, I think I have to go with head rather than heart and take the Mustang for live work.
