Ah, the old 80's crackle finish trend .....you'll have to break out the spandex and grow a mullet if you snag one of those

I've never heard a bass solo that has engaged me apart from maybe this one. I suppose it's more of a performance piece rather than a solo as such so maybe that's why I'm ok with it. Billy did used to do it live as a showpiece though. Bordering on classical and with a bunch of new school techniques in there it was pretty ground breaking back in the day.

A bit of Olivia. What a vocal!

Fender reportedly lays off hundreds of California employees
Mudpup replied to MungoBass's topic in General Discussion
Pandemic artificially boosted demand, everyone who wanted a guitar probably bought one (we're having the same issues in the bicycle trade), biggest growth was in entry level and custom shop (so USA production has flatlined) and they're spending more money/time on Jackson as the shredders are buying again but demand has dropped everywhere else. And all the dealers are now overstocked in a stalled/reversing economy so there's no mainstream demand at the moment -
Distortion and overdrive pedals that are not Darkglass or Tech21 etc
Mudpup replied to fretmeister's topic in Effects
It was a commercial decision for me. I could either keep buying single units from the market place on here for £50-100 until I found one I liked in a gig situation or buy a brand new Aftershock for £150 which would probably have a bunch of them in there already plus loads of other stuff. It's more fun than a bag of squirrels on speed. Very giggable with editable presets and a WYSIWYG mode as well if you want to fiddle on the fly. -

I have a Source Audio Aftershock - a squillion different fuzzythings in a single box! Could be worth a look..... -
Bass drop tuning pedal, which one you’ll recommend?

Last night's action shot.... A couple of Barefaced BB3 cabs and a Mesa MPulse 600. A Quilter BB800 hiding on top just in case and me playing my Cort A4 being mesmerised by the intriguing carpet 😂 (Oh and mudpup junior hiding side stage after helping his old man shift everything as my back was broken. He's busy on his socials rather than appreciating his old mans rock godness)

Small Video Camera to clip on to my bass headstock.
Mudpup replied to jazzyvee's topic in Accessories and Misc
Here you go....GoPro clamped on a speaker pole footage. Just the kick and vox thru the PA - everything else is backline. If it's a stupidly loud gig and the camera is too close it gets a bit compressy but it's ok on most occasions. You kind of figure out the best place to put it as you go along. -

Mudpup replied to jazzyvee's topic in Accessories and Misc
I use a little GoPro Hero 3 and a sort of bulldog clip. The clip was on Amazon and was about a tenner if I remember correctly. Works fine as long as it's a decent sized headstock. -
Properly in the pocket here......dead simple but totally works in the song

I had the combo version of the Peavey Bam 210. Weighed an absolute ton. But the amp part was really good. Tons of effects and amp/speaker models and I thought it was a fab bit of kit. They were really expensive new so are properly rare - I've been keeping a bit of a greedy eye on that one you've spotted for a few months now but I can't justify more amps. Be aware it may be 600 watts into 2 ohms though. And the original foot switch is even harder to find but useful.

Happened to me once. First note of the first set (soundcheck was fine) with a new set of strings and the E snapped at the ball end. 20 seconds later I'm back in the song with my spare bass. Never happened before or since so must have been a QC issue. And earlier this year I had my first ever amp failure - my Handbox went pop halfway into the 1st set. A spare little Quilter BB800 always sits on top and is plugged in to the mains so it's just a speakon change and I'm good again. That one took about 30 seconds to get back in the game. My thoughts are that if you are getting paid you need some sort of backup option for all your kit - basses, amps, leads whatever. I always use 2 cabs just in case one dies. And if its a wedding you absolutely have to have plan B - as above, it's just a gig for us but it's someone elses biggest day of their life and I wouldn't want to stuff that up for them....

That's a warm fuzzy feeling when that happens isn't it :-) Well done. We have a couple of dep guitarists that have worked out like that - never met them before and they were blinding on the night. They had obviously done a bit of cramming on the day and were really organised. They're like band family now.....
