My gigging band is like that Dave, we all get on well but the only time we get together is gigs, rehearsals, recording. Suits me fine, exactly what I want from a band.

I’ve been in bands with such types before and left because of them. I won’t work with people like that. There’s no point in confronting them about it or trying to get them to change as in their minds they are all that counts. As soon as “I’m not, I won’t, I don’t” starts to get banded about that’s me gone.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

I prefer 50-105 so as to get heavier strings on the D & G, to counteract against the pickup positioning. Def sound more balanced to my ear than 45-105. -
Sounds good Dave, the mention of Dunoon takes me back a few years to when we played there, was certainly a journey and a half!

Yes they’re coated, and long scale, which fit fine on the string-thru Mustangs. -

I use 50-105 Elixir steel rounds on my Mustangs @dmc79they get fairly near the feel/tension of the 45-100s that I used on my Precisions. -
In my last band FB was invaluable, the singer utilised it to work really well for us.

Def McCartneys finest hour!

Thanks @stevie, I’ll drop him a message.

As sadly OBBM no longer makes his wonderful leads is there anyone else that does - I’m sure I read that someone else is doing this but I can’t remember who. For info I’m after a heavy duty jack to jack speaker lead, 2metres. I’ve looked at Design A Cable but their speaker cable in comparison to OBBMs is rather thin - I want the big thick cable that he used.

Imposter alert!!!

Just got in from a Spacewasters gig at The Barn in Portsmouth. Went very well, the new 5-piece lineup settling in nicely. Stage sound and sound out front were good, and bonus, not too loud as not a very big place. Good crowd too, and we were asked to do 2 extra songs by the people running the gig as we had gone down so well. I used my JMJ Mustang Bass into my Ashdown RM500 v2, with that connected to the headliners Marshall VBC412. I also used my Nux wireless kit which worked a treat.

Def a winning option!

That rabbit certainly suffered, don’t forget Bunny’s Too Tight to Mention

Although I can appreciate it as a good song Fairy Tale of New York by The Pogues. I just can’t stand it.

Good call methinks

I had a Player Precision as backup to my US Precisions, I also used it for overseas gigs and kept it in Germany for a while. When I got it I thought I`d have to change the pickup but was very pleasantly surprised with how good it was, no change needed. I think I kept everything on it stock aside from putting a Hipshot triple string retainer on in place of the traditional string tree, to add better stability to the A string.

Well the Fender will obviously do Precision and looking at the bridge pickup you’d expect a good impression of a Stingray, plus the blend and eq options available. You say you’ve Jazz bass covered, the Fender gets the rest of the classic trio.

It may well be that, as from the pic above two laid on top of each other look to be pretty similar in height to two standing next to each other. Or maybe it`s just to make the roadies work that little bit harder if they`ve misbehaved.

This reminds me of years ago when my then band went out for a curry. The guitarist went to the toilet, and then walked in through the front door proudly announcing he’d just done a runner. Don’t think he really got it

The Spacewasters will be at The Barn, Portsmouth this Thursday, 28th March with Pussycat & The Dirty Johnsons

Five strings not for me, but that’s based on need not preference, if I needed one no doubt like @TheGreek I’d have 10.

It could be the tweeter, I had a similar problem with an Ashdown cab and it was part of the tweeter that was vibrating/buzzing (even though I always switched it off). They changed it for me. Happened on the lower frequencies.

We’ll all still be here should you return to the low end at some point Martin.
