Am I allowed to pedantically suggest that it should be 'cue', as in 'that's when to come in', rather than 'queue', where one waits in line to get served..? Just sayin', no malice intended.

'Fat Angel', Jefferson Airplane with Jack Casady on bass, or... 'What to do with only two notes' (OK, and a couple of grace notes, if you insist...). A lesson in parsimony... http://youtu.be/O8M1oNgWhtk

I gave up worrying my pretty little head over 'looks' at the age of about four or five, probably as a result of bathing on a public beach wearing swimming trunks knitted by our dear mother. One quickly throws pride to the wind in such garments.

Fine tuna..! Mmm..!

For gear of this sort, from a retail outlet, there should be a paper invoice, which one would expect to mention a serial number. If such is missing, there should be an explanation as to why, failing which I'd smell a rat. Was there a box..? Sometimes there's a SN there, too. Hope it works out in your favour.

[quote name='Kevin Glasgow' timestamp='1495284289' post='3302701']...Hope you enjoy it! ... [/quote] Indeed I did. Took a few moments to 'get in there' (you had to [i]be [/i]there..?), but it builds up wonderfully, prodded along by the two other 'culprits' aiding and abetting. I presume that there's some warming up involved before launching into such pyrotechnics..? It seems that the audience, too, were mesmerised, to judge from the respectful silence on closure where a roar of applause is due. Altogether splendid stuff; congratulations to all concerned, and thanks for sharing.

[quote name='DanH71' timestamp='1495271188' post='3302562']...The Aguilar only has one output... [/quote] Not so..! Your Aguilar has a DI output, which does exactly what you want. Your Mbox 2 has a 'Line' input, but it's a 1/4" 'TRS' jack, not an XLR. There is also a DI input, with a 'normal' 1/4" jack. All you need, then, is a correctly-wired XLR-TRS jack cable to connect the 'Line In', or an XLR-Jack cable to connect to the 'DI In'. Your local music shop will have either of these, or our very own OBBM can supply them, I'm sure. In any case, DO NOT CONNECT ANYTHING BUT A CAB TO THE SPEAKON output; this can (and probably will..!) damage both the Mbox and the Aguilar..! 'DI Out' to 'Line In' or 'DI In' and you're good to go. Good luck, and happy recordings. Hope this helps.

I know the problem. I always find that I need at least an allegretto after a scherzo; doesn't seem 'right' otherwise.

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1495024582' post='3300545'] I'm interested to know what the general bass playing population reckon to the bass sound on this... [/quote] It's as well you're asking about the bass sound, as the less said about the rest, the better (although as it's a 'live' take in less than perfect conditions, one may forgive quite a lot...). Burpy, solid, authoritative tone, then, from the bass, which carries the track along nicely. Not convinced by the more rapid 'run-downs' at the turn-around, which are rushed for the most part and should be either cut down (play alternate notes..?), practised (is it worth it..?) or replaced with a turn-around of your own (that's what I'd do..!). It shouldn't be that hard to get [i]that [/i]sound regularly; that's one of the 'signature' Jazz tones, and works in many situations. Be aware that, as with most things in life, abuse can tire the audience, so using a different timbre from the instrument's range would be recommended on numbers that support it. Altogether a fine bass, in context; Good Work, lad. Hope this helps.
