    Back when the band started I was a lazy fecker. I found other people's covers on YouTube and learned them. Usually just the first verse which I would repeat. So I am currently learning the actual bass laid down (I believe) by Bob Babbitt. No shortcuts, full transcription. It's quite a lot better than what I have been playing.

    Gravelly US Marine corps voice "You got this" 💪

    Just sold a pedal to Paul in an entirely painless transaction. Communication was quick, clear and precise and payment was prompt. Happy to recommend this excellent Basschatter.

    God no. Can't risk overhang

    MG Metro was perhaps a step too far.

    Nice work. You obviously know your way around the workings of a bass. Is it comfy to play?

    Second hand, for that money you're way beyond budget and into great quality gear. Great budget gear is half that new.

    Eh up

    I came back after a long break too mate. Now I'm bankrupt and own more amps, cabs, basses, straps, bags, boxes, pedals and God knows what else, than I can practically store.

    That's a good point. GP12 SMX. With all those amazingly useful features.

    Needs a bump.

    LOVE that @BassManGraham!

    Ah, I see.

    Wikipedia has an interesting entry on the etymology of the term.

    As others have said they were very much heavy metal. But just as R&B is unrecognisable today from what it used to mean ,Deep Purple sound closer to jazz than metal in 2021. It's actually a very interesting topic @Killed_by_Death because it speaks to the evolution of popular music.

    This seems almost too good to be true..

    I had the stomp but swapped it out for the FX. I found the stomp too small and had a pile of stuff I didn't need. The FX is physically bigger and allows me to have a series of effects individually switchable. In other words more like a bunch of old fashioned pedals on a board. Put simply I find it easier to use.

    Oh good lord @DiMarco that looks immense.

    I have one of the reissue V4 precisions and it's a very nice bass.

    Mine came with flats on it, I think Labella, and it's ok. Not full on vintage perhaps but not too bright.

    I'm keen but have to sell stuff to buy, and the market is soooo sloooow...

    Or stick on a mirrored plate and be Phil Lynott for a day.

    What does a vitalizer do? PS. Love the minimalism
  23. stewblack
    Yeah, G4M offer some similarly priced but they're not as well made

    Good points. No reason to denigrate the name of Peavey. Their gear has always been great. Utterly bullet proof. The Peavey PA system in my old underground venue survived 3 floods!

    Cheers mate. I am a sucker for a visually satisfying product. If as you say the sound is good too, then happy days. A lifetime of gigging has taught me that apart from me, the sound engineer, and maybe one bassist in the audience, no one knows or cares about the bass unless it's not there, so yes, looks are important!
