calling @ki0g0n John makes excellent controls for passive basses and is more qualified than most to weigh in here. I'd go with a 500kΩ pot and a 47nf capacitor, but that's just my taste. depends how much of the top end you want to roll off - a smaller value capacitor (e.g.22nf) will allow more top end through when the tone control is at 0%.

Nobody Weird Like Me - RHCP

Real, Real, Real - Jesus Jones

Yup. I'm not playing live anywhere near as much as I used to, so periodically running through setlist for bands I occasionally dep with helps me keep my piggies wriggling and also makes sure that there's less 'cramming' to do when the dep gigs come in.

Eclectic Electric - Primus

that and his enthusiasm for 'better living through chemistry'.

Just do we’re all singing from the same hymn sheet, are we standing up for key changes? 😉

I play sat down almost exclusively now thanks to long covid. Doesn’t affect my ability to play, but I use a fairly short chair due to pedalboard duty.

Bass (mostly fretless Jazz) - pedalboard - zoom 607 as a headphone amplifier, I’m toying with an EHX headphone amp as they’re battery powered too, and significantly smaller. The 607 is a lot of fun though.

an iPhone on the same wifi network as this will work as a remote control. We have to do this when our remote periodically goes missing - often down the back of a sofa.

Dog Breath Variations - Zappa

Most of the Eagles' output and 'Lily the Pink' by Scaffold.

Let’s be honest, it’s safer than stacking them vertically!

Equine, Women and Song - Whitesnake

Dig a pony - the lads

Speaking as an Englishman, I think the attraction with moving ‘North of the wall’ would be that I wouldn’t be living in England anymore.

well, that means we don't need to buy another bass - where's the fun in that?

James Hetfield offering him a million dollars to join Metallica might have something to do with it…

Another vote for Stu Hamm here too. I bought one of his albums on the recommendation of another bass player and was spectacularly underwhelmed. His tone seems to lack any kind of low end too.

Punch & Judy - Marillion

Primus. All of it.

Somewhere there's a really beautiful version of this played by Dorian Gray.

Looks like he ran the bit too hot when doing the headstock. Oh, burnished you say? Intentionally? It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
