  1. For a home studio I’d say V4 and an SVT212 (which is meant be very SVT810-like) or SVT410HE should be plenty. I used a V4 into a 410 at a gig on a fairly big stage and it was n’t even pushed getting enough on stage volume (I’m not big on bass in monitors so it was doing it all).
  2. I can’t remember, I know 12s featured a fair bit but details elude. I do remember that the Berg CN212 was the winner tho.
  3. Not sure if ever in print, but if so Strange Fruit from Still Crazy, which on film was Bill Nighy, Timothy Spall, Jimmy Nail, Stephen Rea, being a 70s rock band who reformed for a tour/festival. Absolute classic.
  4. Whilst it makes a great difference to us bassists it probably makes little or no difference to the audience. At a bass bash we did a cab test and although there were slight differences with the sound, every single one of us would have been happy to own/gig any of the cabs tested. And they ranged from super cheap to super expensive.
  5. The only one I’ve had was the Duff McKagan Sig. Some people say that with a PJ the P never sounds exactly P even with the J turned fully down, as said J is still in the loop, but I never noticed that. It’s something I’ve been looking at again as it happens but they - Fender - don’t do exactly what I want so looks like I’ll have to go without.
  6. A 410 at 33lbs! Makes our fanboi-faves look positively planet-weight.
  7. I tried a Dingwall at a bass bash a few years back and was amazed at how easy it was to get used to the fanned frets.
  8. Reverse psychology, tell him that although his bass lines are good you think they’re getting in the way of his sublime sax melodies, so it would be best to dumb said bass lines down in order to not do so - but do admit it will pain you to do this.
  9. If weight/size isn’t an issue then I’d look at 2nd hand Peavey, Hartke, Ashdown. You’ll get a lot for your money. That said how do you feel about your current GK and its sound - if you like it then I’d look at staying with the brand, GK does have its own sound.
  10. I can help with aged white/maple Precision - will be putting a US one up for sale on here soon - can’t help with the tort tho, only have a deep red one.
  11. Like big-time, you’ve really captured the ‘pulsing’ feel of that bass line.
  12. Difficult to beat black/maple, congrats Tim, the Player Precisions are great basses. Oh, great cat too.
  13. Same here, as long as it’s guitar based and got some aggression/urgency, well that’s my bag.
  14. Thanks Dave, that will be a big help.
  15. I’m currently learning a different style of music, but it’s still playing with a pick and guitar-based. Unless I was looking to be depping or a session musician learning styles/types of music I don’t like isn’t for me, I only want to get enjoyment from the bass, so only play - or attempt to play - stuff I like.
  16. Moving on in the Rainbow world, Stargazer is now getting some attention. There’s just one bit I can’t get, a fiddly run at the start. I’ve got the notes from tab but they just don’t seem to fit so gonna wait til we rehearse and see what the guitarist does and just match that.
  17. Awesome, been getting into Rainbow recently and Cozy Powell’s drums were great.
  18. I’ve used the DI on mine a few times when sound engineers don’t want to use the DI in my Sansamp, I’ve set it pre and then altered the eq on the amp to match whatever cab I’ve been using and the (previously mentioned rather fussy) sound engineers haven’t complained about changing levels, so I’m pretty sure - certainly pre, that eq and level adjustments don’t affect the DI.
  19. This is a very good point. I prefer the heck profile on my US Ps, but once the band is going there’s no real difference in the mix between them and the Player.
  20. And I think Ampeg with their SVT3-PRO.
  21. The tuners on my Player Precision have been fine, no issues at all. I left it in Germany from Sep til Dec last year and when I unlocked the case and took it out it was still tuned perfectly, and there was no more adjustments needed during the gigs than on my US Precision.
  22. I’d say get the instrument you felt most comfortable with. I learned on a short scale bass and it wasn’t a problem moving to regular scale so I wouldn’t have too many concerns in that area. The instrument you gel with best will make learning so much easier.
