It's done OK by Schubert and his chums so far. 'Evolve' isn't always 'Good'. We'll see how much Spice Girls stuff is being played in a couple of centuries or so. Schubert and his chums probably will be.

As long as you veto any and all suggestions that don't meet your criteria, that's exactly what will happen, until one or other of the band members decides they'd rather not be in the project. It's very simple, I'd say, and doesn't need overthinking.

I'd make a set-list of songs that everyone agrees to playing; a unanimous choice. No need to justify one's vote, just have all on board when choosing songs. Simple enough, I'd say.

Why aren't you bowing like everyone else..? ...

How would that work..?

I can't see it, myself. A poor video, too, but a chef-d'oeuvre wouldn't have saved it, anyway. Slightly less than banal, to me.

+1 ^^

The technical term for that ^^ is 'Doing It Right', and you should continue. Some folks (yes, I know; I find it odd, too...) seem to find a difference between one bass/amp/cab and another, and even (shudder...) have 'preferences'. This implies a remarkable (in the sense of 'able to be remarked'...) difference between rigs. Some folk (even odder...) want to have, not just the sound you get from your 'Doing It Right' method, but sounds of different rigs (as if that even was a Thing..! ). This implies having one rig, and being dissatisfied as it only has the one sound, or having several rigs, which tends to become cumbersome on a crowded stage. The answer..? Yes; you've guessed it..! Modelling, and using an FRFR cab..! With this System, the Player can switch sound with alacrity, which, in their delirium, gives the psychological impression of having different sounds (Yes, yes; we know it's not 'real', but you just can't tell 'em...). No, don't you worry your little head with all of this; just carry on 'Doing It Right', and use the money saved to buy a second yacht. Sharing or not, this is the Default result of going on after the (hugely over-running...) Reggae band.

Twerp..!

Oh, I thought you were being devious; apparently not. 'FRFR' stands for 'Full Range, Flat Response', indicating a very 'HiFi' type of design and phonic result. The idea is to have no colouration in the sound. Used for PA rigs, and is useful when using modelling amps, as they can produce (By... Erm... Modelling...) the sounds of different rigs. The 'FRFR' will reproduce this modelled sound with fidelity. Hope this helps.

Get a kit for another effect and pop it into the case..? If you're not into Building, offer it up in the 'Recycling' section..?

Have you asked StewMac..? They normally reply swiftly to questions; first call, maybe..?

By Jiminy, he's right, you know..!

I'd be tempted to send one of my orchestral pieces, all fourteen minutes of it..!

S'not funny, my lad..! I need my beauty sleep..! (Not that it helps, of course, but still...). The beggar for me is the Update messing up my composition stuff. I've gone back to a previous windows version from 2016, and removed its Update facilities. I'm now laboriously re-installing the folders, files and software, on this and my e-drum laptop. I didn't need the hassle. Thanks, Windows, but I've pulled curtains over your nosiness. Leave my working stuff alone..!

I think this is true of 100% of bass players, and, indeed, folk on the Planet..! We are all, in our own way, 'not like anyone else'. In fact, it's so much the case that we're all the same in being different..!

Important News Flash... Due to an unfortunate IT crash, the BC Certification Service is temporarily unable to function. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible; apologies are offered to the deserving victors. Message ends. (Another long night of re-installing etc in perspective. Darned Windows Updates..! Grrr..! Just as well we have back-ups, but they should not be necessary. Grrr..! )

Quite understandable, but it's a shame that the behaviour of a few silly beggars spoil the future for all the Good Folk out there. A pity.

... and I'm the opposite. All I want from an amp/cab is 'clean' as far as I need to go. No 'break-up', no 'disto', no 'grind', no 'dirt'. 200w Hiwatt ex-PA head, with 4x KT88's, and a choice of cabs, such as Ampeg 4x10, HH 2x15, Fender Bassman 2x15... Bass plugged into amp, amp plugged into cab: bingo. Before getting my bass cabs, this was the rig I played bass through (x 2, as a pair, as below...)... We're all different, it would seem.

I don't remember ever, over several decades, and thousands of venues, seeing an amp or cab broken by being used, or even abused. I'm excepting, naturally, stuff such as the Townsend Toreador act on a cab, or the Moon Mania of literally blowing up the drums, but musicians playing gear doesn't, of itself, bust it. Failures, yes, and dozens, but could have happened to anyone, whoever owned it or was playing at the time. Terry Bozzio had to use the main kit at the Paris Zenith 'Zappa Plays Zappa' gig, as his own bass drum broke. He did his stuff (admirably...) on the kit set up for the regular drummer until his was repaired, then came downstage to carry on. Incidents happen all the time, and a failure can happen even when playing one's own gear. Maybe I've just seen lucky acts, but breakdowns are rare enough; breakage I've never seen.
