I only play Precisions so voted as such. In my mind I like the versatility of P/J but in reality I just fiddle and twiddle too much, simplicity rules for me.

Def, XSLF gigs usually have a tale or two to say the least

Yep, I thought it was great, and although I’m not a particular fan of Sgt Peppers now have a new found respect for it as a piece of work, given the creativity and engineering used in making it.

Just watching a prog about Sgt Peppers, which analyses the various songs and how they’re made up. Macca was well ahead of the game with what he played.

Only when I use a full valve rig such as SVT & 810 or connect my own amp up to a 412 or 810. Otherwise I’m pretty much there, haven’t used any other amp/410 configuration that gives more than my own rig, which is Ashdown ABM600 & ABM410. The experience described is why I went with Ashdown, I simply found when using their gear as provided rigs at gigs that it gave so much more than what I was previously using (Aguilar & Barefaced). It just made sense both in the ears, and in the pocket to make the switch.

Nice bass, congrats

Nice one

I got my last batch from Gear4Music, had the best price online and received within a couple of days of the order.

I`ve only used the SL cabs at the London Bass Guitar Show, so not in a band setting or in a loud setting (aside from all the slap-fiends in the background of course). My thoughts were they sounded pretty lightweight to match their actual lightweightedness, I wasn`t very impressed at all.

Do like that. On Tone 2 the Precision sounds much fatter and more “expensive”, rather like a good pickup swap has happened.

I remember using your TC stack at a gig and being very impressed.

A Precision, Liam, what were you thinking?

Sounds feasible to me, my impressions of having had Badass bridges on my Precisions was that they made the lows and highs more focused, losing some mids in the process. Which kind of defeats the point of a Precision imo so I moved them on.

And me, pile of pony to put it mildly.

Nice sounds from that rig, not that I’d expect anything else of course.

If you mean the Ashdown RM 410, yes I had one. It’s a great sounding cab, lightweight, stick some go faster castors on and it’s a real easy cab to move about.

Agree, and adding a second identical cab is also a very grin-inducing move.

I think the TC BH amps fit this bill quite nicely, have pretty much all the requirements covered.

Thunderbirds look great, sound great, but if in a case are incredibly impractical. The neck dive is also a pita, though once you acknowledge it and find a different place to put your on-stage drink and remember to reach for said drink with your picking hand you can then concentrate on low-slung heroics.

Ashdown RM, Fender Rumble, either would be plenty for pub sized gigs. As has been said, if weight not an issue you can pick up an Ashdown ABM combo for silly money and that would be ideal.

Good call, I found these quite comfortable to play, not as floppy as TIs but not high-tension like Rotosound/Fender/Chromes

Once I’d cleaned up my hot chocolate, which exploded in a brown powdery haze from the sachet, yes indeed the dream was fully lived 🙃

My Vintage Tony Butler Precision is made of poplar and it’s a great sounding bass - sounds very similar to my US Fenders. Ok it has different pickups/hardware etc but it sounds more like the US ones than would be expected for the money, I don’t think the poplar body detracts from it much.

Def. Never been a big fan of S&TB but they certainly had a pretty unique sound, and methinks Steve Severin had a lot of input on that. Also made me think listening to the vid how insipid the bass sounded on its own but just how well it worked on the songs.

I know I am, Blue, even though many of my fellow punkers may disapprove of such sentiments. His use of filling in and dropping lower on passages is something I incorporate into my playing.
