Really fun bass lines you're lovin' playing live!
Kevsy71 replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
One Way Street - Nine Below Zero Runaway Baby - Bruno Mars Back in the USSR - Beatles ...always give me a smile when I see they are next on the setlist. And some I love playing in isolation but can be cramp-inducing: Treat Her Right at battle speed, and What'd I Say (Ray Charles). -
These are the absolute business! The neck profile and satin coating make for the silkiest P outside of custom shop prices, and the pickup is simply mighty. So good I bought it twice! GLWTS -

For sale only: Alembic SF-2 Bass Superfilter, £600 Just bought from here, along with the superb F1-X rack pre. Hugely versatile 2-channel low/band/high pass filters with independent resonance gain at the filter cut-off frequency. Gives 2-channel plus dry blend mixing - would love to keep but I really need funds for a cab! Can be run as a preamp or in the effects loop of your existing pre (or before it, or after it!) I'll add some links tomorrow; meanwhile this is fully working, the odd scratch per pics, and comes with UK PSU and a manual. Postage at £10 in UK.

The Power of Love - Different songs with the same title!
Kevsy71 replied to Ricky 4000's topic in General Discussion
Ace of Spades - Link Wray and his Raymen (rockabilly, 1966), O.V. Wright (funk, 1970), Speed Freak (pop, 1971) Heavy Joker (Jazz/rock, 1976), Southfork Bluesgrass Band (I'm guessing bluesgrass, 1979), Motörhead (easy listening, 1980) Silversurfer (Techno, 2006) Jacob Bellens ('alt rock', 2016) Other popular playing card song titles include 'The Joker' and 'Queen of Hearts', apparently. -
Me too - although in my case it's been a 30 year semi-succesful effort to play this:

My 2018 Bruce Thomas was fantastic, I miss it and will buy another. Pickguard cut seemed fine to me, and pole alignment can be seen here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/333115-sold-bass-centre-bruce-thomas-profile-p-bass/ I've owned a '64 P, a Custom Shop '64, a Limelight P and the Bruce Thomas; and they were all pole-aligned slightly differently and all sounded superb. But the BT was the best value

Great track Si - I love that tone and it sits very well in that mix, very tempted by these now. I just hope the picture above is not to scale!
-
Love that look Pawel - the cream pup covers are a great touch!

Lightweight bump (a nudge perhaps?) -
Indeed Sir! Thanks for posting your video of it 40mm - now added to description, thanks!

Modern compact cab recommendations or an old Trace Head
Kevsy71 replied to The Twickerman's topic in Amps and Cabs
Hello Nick, Would this be for a band, or practice? If in a band, would you have PA support, and are you competing with guitarists who don't never turn the volume dial anti-clockwise, and what size venues? And what is your budget..? Certainly lots of options at the lighter end: e.g. I play a Barefaced One10 with a Quilter Bass Block, but supplement that with PA. For bigger rooms I sometimes add a 1x15 but for the majority of pubs it's fine. And the classifieds here are a great way to source a bargain! Cheers Kev -
E.g.: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/sennheiser-he-1 $52,000 may seem a lot, but as it has a marble plinth, it doubles as a high-end cheeseboard. And of course you could hack in these $120,000 cans: https://audio46.com/shop/foacl-utopia-tournaire/ ...although what shocks me most about those is that the stand is extra: $12,000! For that I would expect the stand to be a tame velociraptor that I could ride to the shops.

An excellent lesson, and just at the right time for me as I'm finally learning theory after 3 decades. Also proof that you should judge a book by its cover...thanks for posting!

Another budget option just tested: my son plays bass too and is 2/3 my weight, so my bass is heavier on him than it is on me. We took turns playing the same riff and he sounded miles better. Ergo, heavier basses are better.
-
Very happy with my 3.28kg PJ - through a Tech21 VT pre at SVT setting it has a superb low end. I suppose the only way to tell if weight makes a difference is to isolate weight as the only test variable - not variance in cellular structure between woods, etc.. So best to measure low end response on Earth, and then take the bass to Jupiter for an A/B test (tip: bring headphones rather than speakers to reduce back strain).

Bump-thing for the weekend, Sir? -
Playing 5-a-side tonight. Head height rule applies so I'll bring my low-pass filter....

Just bought a crossover from Ben - fast comms, fast postage and well packed, very pleased! Cheers Ben

Just sold a head to Michael - smooth as you like with constant comms and fast payment. Highly recommended, cheers Michael!
