    Although I’m not a fan of “the look” of music stands on stage I’m envious of those who have the ability to use them. Prompts I could do but sight reading def beyond me, even without taking middle aged eyesight into account.

    You’ll be fine, as you say keeping the volume control in check. Use your ears, you should hear it if it struggles. That said I had an LMT500 into an 8ohm 410 and never needed to push it anywhere near its full power.

    I don’t think it’s high expectations, it’s just knowing both what you want and what you don’t want.

    I’ve found that with a few compressors and reckon that’s what it is, it’s not so much colouring the sound as removing the flub so hearing the actual notes better.

    Would be a good marketing tool as well, plenty of us would I’m sure be happy with that.

    Yes it’s things like this that show me no matter how much I still want to play my Precisions in my bands, playing my Mustangs is the sensible move.
  7. Lozz196
    My heaviest Mustang (a JMJ) is 3.8kg, lightest (a CIJ) is 3.5kg. But as @ezbass said the balance is better, probably due to the weight distribution so I just find short scale basses better on the back/shoulder over long rehearsals. I liked your video @greghagger, showed that sound wise not that much difference to a Precision (so not that much difference to a Jazz neck pick up either).

    I did wonder….

    It is indeed madness @Clarky, can’t believe someone hasn’t snapped this up

    I recall being at one of the SE Bass Bashes and someone had a Hartke stack of amp with 210 & 410 cabs, had an amazing sound.

    Sir Horaces bass was nicely present in the mix I thought. He has to be one of the most underrated players imo - aside from amongst us on here of course.

    Make it clear at any auditions that what is heard is what is going to be played and that if that’s not suitable for them then thanks for their time but no thanks. Sometimes the direct approach might seem to take longer to find someone but it’s usually quicker than having 2 or 3 unsuitable people in post trying to make changes and getting on everyone’s nerves.

    I`ve always figured that as long as the conflict doesn`t actively involve me then let others get on with it.

    With an Eastenders style duff-duff at the end?

    Looks alarming, likewise Basschat is very important to me, hope we`re not affected by this

    Thanks, really appreciate the thought and yes agree, a swap shop of sorts would be a great idea, I’ve a tub full of picks I won’t use.

    I`m even more confused than that, if it`s cold it`s centigrade, if it`s hot it`s fahrenheit.

    I think I`d be selling a kidney......

    I`ve some Dunlop Tortex Triangle 0.60s on the way, down from the thicker gauges I`ve used in the past. My Mustang basses have less mids than my Precisions so lighter picks work nicely at getting some mids back. Having developed arthritis in my left thumb I`m trying to look after my hands a bit more now, play lighter & let the amp do the heavy work.

    In your position @thisisswanbon I would have 2 pedalboards fully stocked/ready to go. I know this is fund dependent but I also know me and I couldn’t be bothered swapping pedals from one board to another depending on what the gig was.
  22. Lozz196
    Must have been a proud moment @Leonard Smalls 🤣
  23. Lozz196
    So far from being imperialistic we`re actually just incredibly confused 🤣
  24. Lozz196
    I don`t think I`m stuck in the past or craving an empire so much as I simply can`t relate to weight of people in kilos. Height in metres and distance in metres or kilometres no problem, but tell me someone weighs 93kg or 68kg and it just doesn`t tell me anything whereas tell me 15 stone or 10 stone 4lbs I then get an idea of their size/shape. This also applies to just saying their weight in ponds as they do in the US - tell me someone weighs 163lbs and until I`ve done the math so to speak into stones again it doesn`t hold any relevance. I should however add that weight of basses in kilos I have no problem with, so clearly have my priorities right.

    I’ve always had good results when pairing a 210 with a 115, but I’ve then never been able to get that sound if only using one of the cabs, irrespective of which, each bring something different to the overall sound. As well as the cab sim aspect two of the same just means same eq with one or both cabs so less messing about. The ABM Pro Neo range are lighter & smaller than the regular ABMs, my 210s are 13kg each, they aren’t as full sounding as the regular ABMs but do have the same sound characteristics.
