An orange jump suit for the orange one, good call Chris (my mate has decided that from now on he will only refer to Trump as The Fanta Fuhrer, which did make me chuckle somewhat).

That’s a great rack system there, main and backup amps in one case.

That’s one of those questions, I’ve had both Laney guitar and bass amps and got great sounds from them, def strange they’ve never been more visible.

I`m fairly brand loyal, in various set-ups I`ve had: Ashdown 210 & 210 ABM PRO NEO Ashdown 410 and 210 ABM EVO IV Marshall 410 & 210 Ampeg 410 & 210 HLE Hartke 210 & 115 XL Markbass 112 combo & 112 ext spkr I`ve always had the cabs from the same range as well, for both sound and OCD reasons

You know official Basschat tee shirts with this on would be great

Aside from rock n roll endings pretty much not at all in my case.

Agree, credit where it’s due, the PM has been good over the recent weeks events.

They are quite a workout, maybe first off try their low tension flats, that might be an interim solution that could work for a while.

Yeah I had this some years back, happened when I set the gain too high on my GK MB500, backing it off from 8 to 7 sorted it.

For that sound yes, a Jazz bass of some sort would be best as that’s the bass being used. For the budget as Paul suggests Sire, Squier and Harley Benton all worth checking out.

Next gig will be The Darkness in Oxford next Saturday. Also booked tickets to see Florence Black in Islington O2 in September - saw them supporting Tremonti a couple of weeks back and thought they were great (best band of the evening imo).

Yep Mustang bass would be my suggestion too, mainly because I’m in a similar position, I’ve an arthritic left thumb. I’ve got the Fender Japan versions which have a very slim neck so a doddle to play. And like you @toastieman I’m a Precision man and find I can coax a similar sound from the Mustangs. La Bella do a set of Mustang flats too.

I think it’s pretty much on the cards he’ll keep on until he either dies or is taken out sadly. Seems - at present - only NATO membership keeps him out. Time will tell if he decides to put this to the test.

I agree, I’d be embarrassed for my country if I witnessed any of our leaders be it past or present behaving like that, imo he’s shown the whole world his backside with what he’s done today.

I just watched the clip, I dare say I’m not the only one in the world that longed for Zelensky to get up and punch the twunt (Vance/Ponce/Whateverhisname).

Yep, although I’m not a Labour man I like Wes Streeting and am hopeful he can get some things moving in the right direction.

A good review of it might help. My Dad had to have a stent in the artery in his leg a few years back, carried out in Hertfordshire. Fast forward to Xmas just gone and he was in such pain he called an ambulance and was taken to A&E in Bedfordshire. They said they didn’t have access to the medical records for the stent as it was done by a different trust and they don’t like providing this information. Firstly - National Health Service, with the emphasis on National. All hospitals should have access to this information so if a patient has to visit any hospital they can be treated with full knowledge of procedures already carried out. Secondly - Like. What the trusts “like” should be insignificant in comparison to the “likes” of the patients, which should be liking the fact that they can be treated nationally, with the relevant staff having full access to all records. Reminds me of how the Yorkshire Ripper evaded being caught for all those years, each Police Force having their own records rather than national.

Nice setup

If I recall correctly one of our members @CiciBass did a great review of a Schecter bass a couple of years ago - think was a Jazz type bass. Certainly sounded good on the review.

I always put these type on my cabs, makes them a doddle to push about

I get what you mean, he’s got his fingers & toes crossed for a Democrat next POTUS already.

I`m no fan of the orange one, however if the below can be secured: Russia stop their war against Ukraine, with Putin walking away saying he did no negotiating with Zelensky/Ukraine Ukraine no longer have Russia waging war against them, they concede land which had been taken some time ago, and provide minerals to the US Trump states it couldn`t have happened without his intervention Then take it. Better than more people dying and losing homes/businesses/loved ones. It`s not necessarily ideal but imo preferable to war.

Yeah the JJ one is fairly weak, if he weren`t playing a Stranglers bassline possible not many would think it was meant to be JJ. For me as well as the blown speaker it`s valves, I`ve always found it much easier to get near the JJ sound through a valve amp, there seems to be a chunky but smooth aspect in mids in valve amps. Many years ago I had a Dave Hall DH1 and it did that nicely. Of course a lot of it will be down to how he was playing at the time, angry young man playing angry new music.

Looks great @Clarky, I’ve been thinking of one of the MIJ Precisions too, quality instruments.

Given JJs pretty famous sound I’m surprised he hasn’t put some form of Sansamp in his rig, it would def get nearer to that tone than he currently gets. Unless of course he wants to not be quite so full-on nowadays.
