    Hi Woodyratm, gigs are inevitably loud ( but your point is good one) i can't exercise much control re volume. What does uncouple the cab mean….. I should explain I've only been playing bass for 2 years and am really a tenor/alto sax player at heart. (30 years) . I really enjoy practise and playing but this room is sending me around the BEND!!!!

    2'25" is a prime example of my dilemma (in the above video) sound is from a go pro but is still bad!!

    I,ve thought about the auralex thing. I guess i want a studio type sound but live…… lets not forget that it might be a crap technique and not much experience!!!!!

    hi, its a 300w amp, sounds great on its own….. its in context it suffers !! Plenty of volume…. so i don't think i need a 4x10. will try and send a link for your thoughts….

    I need help……. if anyone can, please do and send me /pm your thoughts. Basically I can't get a focused/balanced (eq'd)sound when i gig. Practising at low/mid volumes with a Gallien Kruger 15"combo I'm really happy but when playing with my band (17 piece Big Band playing non conventional material i.e. Funk, Latin, Steely Dan, and blues charts as opposed to Glen Miller etc) at high sound levels, my sound is unfocused, boomy and bass heavy. I play a 4 string Fender Jazz Deluxe into a 2x10 Mark Bass Combo (floor wedge). I keep the eq flat on the amp, position it away from walls and face it towards me rather than into the room. I record all sessions and am really fed up with the sound I get. Sound levels are on the high side (15 Blowing musicians- 5 saxs , 4 trumpets and 4 trombones create a BIG SOUND) but i find if if i eq the bass (John East retro pre amp) bright, things sound too brittle and edgy which effects my playing style. i want a balanced, focused sound that is not too dominant or even worse Bass LITE. Playing style is normally finger style with occasional slap and pop.!! Any thoughts gratefully received. At my wits end PB

    This amazing extended reach bass is a monster. Fantastic range of tones available from the Bartoilini Jazz PUPs. A beautiful Alder body with a Maple neck (Fingerboard with block inlays) makes this instrument a joy to play. The unique 6 bolt on neck (very deep) gives easy access right up to the 24th fret. The carbon fibre reinforced neck give the most sustain of any bass I've ever played. The only reason I'm selling is because I've taken on a permanent gig that requires a 5 string. PX considered for a 5 string (preferably a Sandberg) but cash preferred. Active/passive preamp. 34inch scale with a 19mm string spacing at the bridge. This bass is absolutely immaculate (not one ding or blemish at all) Grab your self a bargain at £790 (rrp is £1839)
