  1. My route would be a controller keyboard and an iPad/laptop to generate the sounds. That way you're not tied to a single block of sounds, and can swap the 'brain' as the material dictates.
  2. Cha cha heels- Urethra Kitt
  3. Tried to find a decent video of these online, but both of the ones I've seen were by people who perhaps didn't know what the knobs do.
  4. Then of course there’s Geddy Lee…
  5. Fingers for me. I’ve always used fingers and tend to gravitate towards music that favours finger style, but every now and then you’ve got an Ampeg and a P bass and if you’re playing a solid quaver rhythm it seems wrong not to.
  6. Close to You - The Carpenters
  7. Not exactly a floor -filler, but 'Army of Me' by Björk is an obstinate strong enough to hang your hat on... Probably done on a 303 originally by the sound of it too.
  8. Express yourself -NWA is another stellar 2 bar loop
  9. Bring down the birds/ groove is in the heart - herbie Hancock and dee-lite respectively. chameleon - herbie Hancock’s headhunters.
  10. Ah, but were you all 'two-hats' or not?
  11. A fretless Wal for £700 in the early 2000s.
  12. Pretty much anything will do the job. Obviously check that the desired output is OK with the impedance of your cabs - a 500W amp will deliver 500W into a 4Ω cabinet, but you'll get about 350W into 8Ω, and even less into a 16Ω cabinet.
  13. I always ever used my Ampeg svp pro preamp into the fx return of any other amp when we gigged with shared kit. other bassists were happy I didn’t change their settings, I was happy I didn’t have to.
  14. Just looked at the website and they don't fir Fender P bass necks. I would have thought that being arguably the best selling bass design of all time that's a bit of a swing and a miss from a design perspective.
  15. Either way it's still a great sounding preamp.
  16. Fear of the dark - Iron Maiden
  17. Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa (sad song) Otis Redding
  18. I'm afraid I'm with Maynard on this - lifting your phone up to film or take pics at a gig means that the people behind you have to either watch through a tiny aperture, or try to look around it. Secondly, the quality of the photo/video isn't going to be worth looking at either - low light, fast shutter speeds etc... Finally bands like Tool spend heavily on their visuals, intermittent flashes and tiny video lights detract from the aesthetic that they're trying to immerse the punter in. and that's without even considering the legality of it.
  19. Zoom ms60b will do everything you’ve listed above and more. Takes up the same space as a boss style enclosure, just in case you need. Flanger/phaser/reverb/eq etc…
  20. This era of Peavey amps are pretty much bombproof!! I remember those little guitar combos fondly.
  21. Not before time too! Frank's tone is always awesome.
  22. Fire - RHCP (or Jimi if you prefer).
  23. Drag the waters - Pantera. obviously not fans of his post-Floyd material.
  24. Disco , soul, funk, Motown. Pretty much any track from these genres will give you a great bassline. no point listening to any of the above if you can’t stand listening to them though; that will turn bass playing into a chore.
  25. Sols-brie Hill - Peter Gabriel
