I do in 2 of my bands, the 3rd (which I`ve now left) did get some gain from a Sansamp, but only noticeable if digging in. Have to say after years of using preamp pedals I do prefer bass straight into an amp nowadays. Miraculously it sounds like a bass that way.

Great band

Good to hear of safe - if late - arrival

Looks great

Yeah I put up a few items last week or so, collection only.

I`m the same, plus inevitably when I speak to someone on the phone I forget one or more of the things I wanted to speak about.

I can’t think of any problems, I use the regular long scale on my string-thru Mustang basses and they work fine. Ok the string-thru probably adds on an inch or so but that’s still 31” compared to 34”.

Nice sounding amps, one venue we play has one as a house amp, a doddle to get a great sound quickly on a line check - always a sign of a good amp imo.

I’m not a particular fan, like some of the songs, but I echo the sentiments of others, great that they want to get together and make some music. I don’t think gender of either the drummer or keyboard player is relevant really, genitalia doesn’t dictate that you can play an instrument better/worse, pick the people who do the job you want the best, and who you can get on with.

Short sleeves for me - inevitably every band I end up in wants a “look”. To me everyone wearing the same gear looks like workers from McDonalds or any other corporate gear where the plebs have to wear a uniform to show that they aren’t management. But whatever “stand out from the crowd all looking the same” regimented uniform I end up in it will be short sleeves, I don’t like long sleeves and I don’t like feeling uncomfortable when gigging.

I think @SteveXFR mentioned on another post somewhere about using the Two Notes Revolt pedal for this?

I think another 6 is in order, a Basschatter with 100 basses!

That’s a great looking bass

Agree Steve, if pushed to take a bass to a session where I either wasn’t familiar with the material, or it was a try out sounds to see what works best I’d take a Jazz.

Might be worth trying Elixirs

I caught the tail end of it, and listened to quite a bit on Thursday evening. Whilst I’m not a country aficionado I liked the majority of what I heard - and agree, the house band sounded very good.

I’ve a bunch of mates who are in a band that aren’t that great, but they get really good audiences when they play so people like them.

Nothing so glamorous, I am mostly Laurence.

I’ve just always used Lozz - with records/publishing etc that’s what I’m listed as for credits.

Great idea Rob 🤣

Great feedback @neepheid, I bet you were very pleased with that

I’m whittling down now I’ve decided to give up gigging. I’ll be keeping hold of: Fave Fender US Precision (home or studio use only) MIM Fender Precision (in case I get asked to do a gig) Yamaha BB1100s (nostalgic bass) Sandberg Superlight TT (for rehearsals) Sandberg Superlight Lionel (on order, del expected Nov 26) It’s certainly more than I need, and to be honest once the Lionel turns up I’ll probably move the TT on.

What I find works best for me with the Scrambler is to keep the Blend at 9 o’clock and the adjust the Drive as required. I usually have it at 9 o’clock just to take the sharp edges off the notes.
