Deps - What format do you prefer material to be given in?

Use scored charts for a tight, professional performance even if the band have never met before and don't know the tunes. I don't see how this can go wrong: And I don't see how this can go right: -
I know what you mean... but the video is correct, as they are sat at pianos and therefore naturally using concert pitch charts. But the bass is a transposing instrument (sounds an octave below) so like any other (sax, trumpet, ...bagpipes...) the same-sounding line on each chart will be written in a different place.

Most gigs I have full PA support - but every now and then, on those few occasions when there is no PA, I use one or two DXR10 mkII as backline. And yes, exactly - just use your eq to get a good sound. Indeed I find these type of powered speakers respond very intuitively to eq changes.

Most of the suggestions so far you can busk from a chord chart, right? But the original example of Night in Tunisia is in a different category, as iReal is not going to bail you out here - the only option is to know it already. I'd say more along the lines of All Blues, Footprints, Four on Six, the intro to Seven Steps from Heaven... if you DON'T play something approximating the original line, you're gonna get funny looks from everyone!

Very fast transaction of a pedal from Chris - bought it on Friday and it arrived on Monday. Thanks!

Selling three 2m instrument cables - straight jack at one end, angled at the other. Super dependable and come highly recommended by many basschatters. They've been treated well, coiled loosely over-under and stored in a hard case when not in use. Only selling as I need different lengths now. https://www.designacable.com/unbalanced-mono-jack-to-jack-lead-black-van-damme-xke-cable-neutrik-straight-to-angled-plugs.html New price is currently £17.82 for a 2m cable. Van Damme XKE ("Pro Grade Classic XKE Instrument Cable") Unbalanced Guitar Lead Neutrik Straight to Angled Mono Jacks 1 cable = £11 posted 2 cables = £21 posted 3 cables = £31 posted

Bought a bass from Keir and it was so easy to chat with him and sort out the details. It arrived so securely packed - really puts the professional stores to shame! Bass is great, just as described, very happy with the transaction - thanks Keir!

Maruszczyk neck screw size. I've previously read complaints about Maruszczyk's soft screws and indeed when I bought a used Jake last year it came to me with at least one neck screw head stripped. Anyway, I finally got around to replacing them this week. Couldn't find the size on the internet anywhere, so if it helps anyone it's 4mm x 40mm.

Met James in a supermarket car park to sell a bass. He was right on time, we had a nice chat, highly recommended basschatter! Thanks James.

MXR Bass Octave Deluxe Analogue octave pedal with superior tracking. The 'growl' (throaty tone) and 'girth' (deep tone) knobs give a lot of control over the sound of the octave, the 'dry' knob mixes in your direct signal, and the 'mid' button adds mids - amount/frequency are adjustable via internal trim pot/slider. £90 posted UK

Great strings! No, not normal for the E to sound dead. Never noticed the silk lengths before, but mine seems about the same:
