Agreed, it should be fine. On Monday I used an Ampeg V4B (100 watt valve amp) into an Ashdown 600 watt 410, plenty of volume on a pretty big stage, with gain on 3, master volume on 5.

Same for me, I think it’s the music we play, just seems wrong playing with light touch.

Thanks for all the replies and support peoples, it’s really appreciated. To update I did my last gig as a substantive member of the band last night, not too many details as it’s in the gig last night topic for anyone interested, but was a gig I’d really wanted to do, in Hamburg with friends of ours. I’m sad it’s over but I’ve had 6 wonderful years in the band, I’m looking back at the whole period with a smile 😃

Played my last gig as a substantive member of my band last night, at Knust in Hamburg. We’d been invited to do the gig by friends of ours, Razors who are a great bunch. Set off at 5:30am, got to our hotel at 3pm for a brief rest before getting to venue for 5pm. Quick soundcheck - awesome sound for all 3 bands both on stage and out front, then off for a quick meal before the fun started. First band on at 8:30, Sixteen Again, a Buzzcocks tribute - they really got the crowd going, then we were on at 9:30. And it was amazing, crowd singing along with the songs, the reception after each song was jaw-dropping. Then Razors on for the end of the night, and as always delivered, they’re so good - and should be seeing they’ve been together since 1978! Back to hotel for 2am, set off at 11am to airport, just got home at 5pm, rather tired. I’m so glad I managed to get to do this gig, we were asked over a year ago to do it and when I said I was having to leave it was the one gig we had that I still really wanted to do, fitting then that it was my last, I went out on a high!

I like a lot of clank/rattle in my sound, so I have a fairly high action as I only want said clank/rattle to be the product of hard-hitting.

My checking routine is that my basses are working and making sure the batteries in my pedal/tuner work.

Jazz basses - they all sound the same

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?

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

NBD: Fender Original 60's P Bass joins the pack
Lozz196 replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Bass Guitars
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.

Jazz basses - they all sound the same

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.

ITEM NOW SOLD One rack-stand to fit 3 instruments. This is a good quality stand, as in the type that doesn`t fall over when it`s loaded - unlike many on the market now. In fairly good condition, only been out with me to gigs a couple of times, it`s been a home-stand. Dimensions are (measured from the parts ready for despatch as I foolishly didn`t measure it when it was assembled) 72h x 48w x 42d (in cm). Price includes postage in UK.
