I've been dipping a toe in the murky waters of 'Anasthaesia' from 'tallica's first album. Lots of fun to be had!

I really rate the Wilkinson stuff, just put one on my P bass 'bitsa' and I love it!

I think we’re fast approaching the point at which there won’t be any more new basses on Blighty’s shores ever again, we’ve just got to perpetuate the ‘Merry-go-round’ that is the BC approach to bass ownership!

I still use green as the default colour for bass tracks in Pro Tools and Cubase for this reason!

Neither option is without risk, but even discarding the risk of theft, most instruments would prefer being left indoors without too many temperature fluctuations. I'd never leave an instrument in a car for any length of time for this reason, insurance companies get a bit shirty when you leave valuable stuff in an unattended vehicle too, but a hotel room is looked upon more favourably.

KZ ZS10 Pro are incredible for the money - they're also great IEMs if you ever need them to be.

Take The Power Back - RATM

Dakota many colours - Dolly Parton

Valley Girl - Zappa

For balance. Sorry, I'll get my robe.

Sorted now (I think) 🤞

It’s yer money I’m after baby - the Wonderstuff

I've tried all sort fo flats on my fretted and fretless jazz basses over a period of a couple of years, but went back to rounds for the extra top end bite - mostly for overdrive and slap tones. I've got a P bass at home with flats on, but that's more of an economical choice. I've only ever gigged with that bass once, and the others have had plenty of airings.

Could you not just use the SM58 to beat your drummer into submission - those things are bomb-proof?

Let Me Drown - Soundgarden

Pound For A Brown - Zappa

Hungry For Stink - L7

First of all Obrienp- do it. Mine has been an absolute game changer. I was thinking about getting a louder amp before using a HPF, as it was running at full tilt all gig, every gig, now I’ve actually got some headroom to spare. secondly, I’ve placed mine as the last thing in the chain, just before the amp. I tried it at the start, but my envelope filter didn’t quite react the same so I moved it. Try it in different positions and see what works best for your setup.

I made my own. These days it’s sporting a tort plate, but that’s just because it’s cold out!
