Nice one Clarky
-
When we played with Sham 69 Dave Tregunna was using a Squier (Precision I think).
-
Won’t be a problem whichever you use.
-
A wig room? Well I’d be alright then……
-
Good luck with the audition @Clarky
-
I’d suggest the Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precision from your description above.

Does the Shure work completely on batteries or does the receiver unit have to have a PSU?
-
Nice one, I had a Hartke rig a good few years ago and it was really good (HA4000 with XL 210 & 115 cabs), must be great to get an endorsement from a company whose gear you really like, very pleased for you.
-
How do you find the EBS Microbass sound in comparison to the Ashdown @uk_lefty? I’ve considered these for a while but the online demos seem to be slap-pop-mungus.

In a punk covers band I was in we decided to do The Sex Pistols version of Substitute, received a lukewarm response at best.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Lozz196 replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
The American Performer has same width neck as the JMJ, does have an additional Jazz pickup but the rest pretty similar. -
Does it buzz on every fret, if not due to age it may be fret wear contributing to this.
-
Having just acquired a Squier Classic Vibe Mustang Bass I`d def recommend these, can be picked up for around the £300 mark second hand. I`m very impressed with mine.

One of those bands that I`ve really come to appreciate later in life, think I`ll go to see them when they`re next nearby.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Lozz196 replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Agree, def one of the best basses I’ve ever played, they just work so well (for me that is). -
I`m another that who, although I`ve been playing since 15 has had the most successful period in music from late 40s onwards so def don`t let the age of 45 make you think there`s nothing for you now. I`d agree with the going to venues that do that music you like and getting it known that you`re looking for an opportunity. Might not be instant but you`ll be enjoying yourself whilst doing your research.

Martin responded to a Wanted Ad I`d placed for a Squier CV Mustang Bass in Oly White. Good comms throughout, speedy delivery and a cracking bass to boot, thoroughly recommended.

I care what my gear looks like but I don’t care what others think it looks like. There are undoubtedly some very fine instruments that I would probably love playing but I’m unlikely to ever find out due to how they look.

Festival backline vs bringing amps/Ampeg SVT 7 vs Tonehammer 700
Lozz196 replied to Misowaki's topic in General Discussion
If you def want to take an amp that will deliver then the Tonehammer - given you use the pedal already - makes perfect sense, they’re small, light, incredibly loud, and sound great. I used to use them and paired mine with so many different cabs, always easy to get a decent sound. -
Just got a Squier CV Mustang bass - thanks again @martin8708 - and I have to say that after an hour of playing it it really is a superb instrument. I`m sure that the components and body woods are cheaper in relation to the Fenders but in the hand just playing it, well the quality is amazing, it sounds great as well.

Festival backline vs bringing amps/Ampeg SVT 7 vs Tonehammer 700
Lozz196 replied to Misowaki's topic in General Discussion
Sounds like the Ampeg was a bit iffy to say the least. Having played a good few of these types of gigs I used to always have the DI from my preamp pedal rather than the amp. I could then set the amp to however I wanted for onstage sound knowing that the audience were getting what they were meant to (unless the desk people messed it up). In instances where the provided amp was rotten I’d turn it down and ask for more in the monitors. -
Whenever I use a wireless kit I always put a lead on top of the amp in readiness for problems. Fortunately never needed one yet........

People in the way after gigs, a fact of a musicians life sadly. As is not many people hang around in the way to have a Marshall 412 rammed into them a second time. Sometimes the old heavy gear has more than one use.

Agree, I don’t notice anything inferior when playing my JMJ Mustangs and I’ve always been a US Fender fanboi.
