Great sounding amps, I’ve never heard a bad sound from them when I’ve seen them used live.

I had a not exactly the same thing when returning a bass to them that I just didn’t get on with. I dropped it off personally and the first thing said was “it’s got Rotosounds on it, they’re not the stock strings”. My reply was they were the strings that came on it - which they were. They then tried it out, tested it etc, and finally relented and reimbursed. Did make me think about purchasing online from them again.

Yeah, amateur, he’ll never get anywhere……….

That’s a real bargain to say the least

So they obviously didn’t.

All off, clean the fretboard, replace strings, check intonation. As I use Elixirs I generally only have to change strings about once a year, if that.

For me it’s: 1. Why you don't have any gigs? - We don’t have that many as our singer had part of his leg amputated at the end of 2022, hopefully he doesn’t need any further surgery so we’ll start getting more soon. 2.Do you rely on an agent ? - No 3.Who finds coordinates and confirms gigs? - Generally the singer. 4. Are you or any band members in this for the money? - No 5.How much do you want to gig? - The general feeling of my band (The Spacewasters) is about 10/12 a year. The others are also in other gigging bands so balancing the calendar is a task.

Expensive option Fender Custom Shop 62s Reasonable price option Toneriders The Toneriders sound very similar to the Fenders at a fraction of the price.

One of the best songs ever imo

That’s gonna be a whole lot of fun NOT!!!!!!

Nah, bin the furniture and make a lot more room for new basses

I get where you’re coming from, for years I’ve always plugged into some form of Sansamp however recently I’ve got into the sound of bass straight into amp.

Def, whilst I`m not a big fan of Metallica, so not knowing the songs on the auditions, I thought when Trujillo played there was a noticeable increase in solidity and power. One of those things where if I`d known nothing about them and it was happening live-feed I`d have thought "well he`s got the job then".

Might be worth checking EBS out, their gear is meant to be modern sounding.

Agree, great basses.

Both will do what you`re looking for nicely so as above maybe try a Mustang just to see which scale you feel more comfortable on. After many years playing reg scale I`ve switched to Mustangs and I love them.

In one band we use Farm Factory in Welwyn Garden City, which has Ampeg 810s and various amps, mostly small Peaveys, easy enough to get a decent sound. In the other band we use Mill Hill Studios, rather unsurprisingly in Mill Hill, they have all sorts, Orange, Laney, Peavey, Warwick, again easy enough to get a decent sound.

Incredible

They’ll get a few quid for him

Through adversity (and sound-men) you shall triumph!

I`ve recently bought myself one of these as a backup, not used it with band yet as have been too lazy but have been impressed with sound and amount of volume available when using it at home.

Smart casual is the worst

I found that my 70s Precisions had a quite scoopy sound, more emphasis on lows & highs, maybe Jazz pickups follow the same pattern.

Chalk it up to experience and move on @SuperSeagull, I’m sure many if not all of us have suffered similar and learned from it, I know I have.
