Yea it is a weird count like a lot of stranglers songs, you can get cues by listening to the drums for a lot of them, especially live

I only get it right cos i play it at every gig and i've been listening to it since 1977..

Your'e the 3rd person to say that so very promising thanks Andy

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1351333220' post='1850150'] Paul why on earth are you playing up that end in a punk band (assuming this is with Scam?) Get back to open E or A immediately, the problem will then be solved! [/quote]smash it up by the damned is a good example, its octave jumps on the G then over to the C, the 5th fret of g string is hardly audible, its a tad better if i go up to 8th fret.. Also shot by both sides with that funny scale that goes right up the uncomfortable end. Plus a few others.. Cheers Lozz

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1351341585' post='1850302'] Ok, so here's the 'big' rig. Tend to only use the 2x15 indoors and 2x18 outdoors but one day I'll just take the bloody lot and sod the back row!![attachment=122135:DSCN0171.JPG] [/quote]Woow ee i love it

If the previous replies don't work that'll be my next step, thanks Chris

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1351275157' post='1849662'] I use compression to combat this, the cheap and easy way out [/quote]Which pedal mate ?

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1351267847' post='1849541'] Heh heh, it will be like a couple of duvets and a mattress have been taken off the front of your rig, or you've had a serious ear syringing..... [/quote]I sure hope so simon, cant wait..

Lawrence and Simon... As soon as i've tried it i'll let you know, sounds promising as you both sound pretty sure.

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1351157334' post='1847949'] Been practising a stranglers song the last few nights, and through my pf 500 with headphones it sounds very authentic (p bass almost full treble and pick) but I imagine when I go to the band run through with a cab it wont sound as good. [/quote] which song lojo?

Done some dates with the heep 10 odd years ago in Germany, Mick Box= smashing bloke, Bassist was also smashing, none other than Trevor Boulder (Bowie) .. As if you didnt know.

[quote name='LawrenceH' timestamp='1351187241' post='1848483'] Make sure those markbass filters are off - the VPF particularly! Off is fully anticlockwise, NOT 12 o clock. The VPF filter cut sits right around the first harmonics of the upper string upper notes, too much of that and it'll suck the volume right out. [/quote]cheers lawrence, yea both filters are set at 12 o.clock, ill try that thanks

Think maybe i'll get to next gig half hour early and have a good fiddle with my eq settings, Thanks for the replies chaps

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1351163280' post='1848053'] Does this happen with either cab or only with both cabs? [/quote]I havent used a single cab for years so not sure matey, i use both whatever venue size

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1351160526' post='1848004'] How low is your action? [/quote]Low low.. Not done by me tho' i use a pretty good luthier

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1351163840' post='1848064'] Is it just the one bass you get this with - have you tried another? [/quote]No mate, seems to be the same with 3 or 4 basses

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1351144429' post='1847824'] How old are the strings? [/quote]Strings are 6 months old approx

Have they got many left handers in there did anybody notice?

Hi mate, always a pick with this band, cabs, 1 4x10 and 1 1x15 not thru p.a, mainly a usa p bass with tone and vol right up. And no monitors Cheers

Hi all, The higher i play on the D and G strings especially, the quieter the notes are , if i'm past the 12th fret on the g string its like im not playing, ive ignored it for ages but the drummer mentioned it at last gig so here i am, i'm guessing its eq but i have upped the mids?? ..i play through a markbass 600w head and sometimes thru a sansamp bass driver.. Its the same with all my basses?? Thanks in advance chaps Paul

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1351078092' post='1846959'] I have been told that I have to go record two guide tracks this evening at 8:30 and that I have 45 minutes. I don't have my bass with me (Why would I, I am at work). Its a 40 mile round trip in rush hour to go get it, so the engineer is lending me a Stagg (*shudder*). I know it is just a guide track, but ffs. [/quote]Last time i used a stagg one of the tuning keys fell off so good luck there..

Anyway i'm not playing cos i love precisions and you're all slagging them orf
