Sounds more P than J to me. Great playing and another case of a recorded pro bass line being much treblier/toppier than would be expect, given how it sounds in the mix.

Whilst not a big fan will like to see The Stereophonics, quite like their new single.

Wowzers, you learn something new every day, this is why I love this forum. As I use a preamp pedal to get my eq this applies to me - just typical that I learn this on the day of my last gig for the conceivable future,

I’ll be selling one at the end of the week, PM me if interested?

You are all individuals.

I love Duff McKagans sound in Velvet Revolver, especially on American Man.

That is a beauty, Nick, and the colour scheme just screams 60s.

From the recent topics where apparently all gear sounds the same, well that has to put my mind at rest re thinking of new gear to buy.

The Rumble cabs sound nice, and have a nice vintage look so should pair nicely with your amp. They’re light too, and pretty decently priced so it looks to me like a winning idea.

I love Jazzes when other people play them. I also really like tinkering around on my Squier VM77 Jazz at home every now & then, however I’ve never used a Jazz bass at a gig as I’m a Precision player through and through. That said I’m trying to expand my ways of playing, so the Jazz is getting some use at present. I keep thinking that as I’ve no desire to be in a band for a while having a good Precision, Jazz and Stingray is the way to go, and just play whichever I feel like at the time.

Good call, that’s how I settled on my faves, the Fender Custom Shop 62s, heard a clip on here and it was the exact sound I wanted.

That really is a great looking bass, Andy.

Am currently learning some heavy rock stuff, Bon Jovi, Rainbow, Def Leppard, stuff I`ve liked for ages but never bothered to learn. Quite good fun really, and unlike a lot of the original players my hair isn`t getting in the way of looking at the fretboard as I learn 😂

Sam certainly has some pipes on her, first time I’ve heard her sing, much more volume than you’d expect.

Ah, no drums and a heavy 150 watt head, well in that case a lightweight combo makes plenty sense.

I think in this case I`d be looking at a lightweight 2x10 or 1x12 - you already have a 150watt head so chuck that and leads/tuner into a backpack, bass in one hand, cab in other, pretty much sorted. My Ashdown RM210 cabs are pretty light, and the 1x12 is lighter still. Have to admit that Ashdown Studio 112 looks like it fits the bill though.

I’ve been using Fender leads for a few years now and never had any problems. I’ve got the regular black cable, the black & white stitched cable and the tweed cable, all have been fine.

I suppose they’re musically related, I got Andrew Ridgely’s and Debbie Harry’s autobiographies - now got to flip a coin as to which I read first.

Result there Stew

Progress, Silvia.....

It’s great there, Blue, lots of musical history, especially Beatles related. And the people are so friendly and welcoming, we’ve made some good friends over there.
