This Trace rig has been up a while and would suit every need, rehearsal room up to festival stage backline. Saves on a compression pedal too! What an amazing looking bass! Absolutely smitten! ANd lastly I found a pedal for some drive flavour, even has a tuner! I'd be well happy with this setup!

I advise getting a brownshell tortoise and wait for it to shed.

Boss-LS2 would be my go-to. Excellent idea, very versatile.

Not sure what episode I'm on, at one point the bass player shouts "I want to write my own bass lines!" ... and continues to play close to root-fifth 😞

LOXX locks forever! I've tried most others but they all had their problems: Musicman fell apart and dropped my bass Schaller started squeaking and showed wear after not that many uses Dunlop same, noisy after a while Grolsch washers are a bit fiddly. Zero issues in ten years of using LOXX.

Necrotaph We play thrash metal originals.

Why would a noise gate be cheating but a bit of foam or one of those 'bass wraps' (I think that's the name) would be fine? There's no commercial recording where the bass is uncompressed. It'd be silly to deny yourself any advantage in creating the sounds you're after.

Could you point the way to some?

The best cleaning job on my old SR5 fretboard I used nafta lighter fluid and 0000 steel wool to polish off all the grime from the previous owner. A couple of thin Birchwood Casey gunstock oil coatings to nourish the wood and a bit of same brand wax for the back of the neck.

When your mind's a hammer, everything turns into nails.

That bass tone on Jar of Flies is one of my favourites ever. And that full fat sound on the live footage is amazing too!

Warwick will have some https://shop.warwick.de/en/parts-for-instruments/parts-for-basses/bridge-stringholders-parts?p=2

Not that many fans of Kustom amps though I'm quite fond of the brand. It'd be difficult for a brand to get their amps to market without any following at all I'd think!

Mind answering the other question first? Who all can you recommend that make interesting music as multi instrumentalist? That's what started this thread, the cool performance by Brutus. Now it just looks like you're virtue signalling (I think that's what it's called these days) and reprimanding people for being impressed by a female musician.

According to some of the previous commenters apparently.

Not that many people that are front person, drummist and lead vocals competently all at once. Let's see you do better (really, I'd love to see your videos)

The v7 are now all alder bodies and the v8 are swamp ash, have roasted maple necks and the 'heavy mass' bridges.

New band name!

In some situations you can put your audiogram in to Sonarwork software, and it'll compensate the output to your studio monitors or headphone. Hearing aids are standard tuned to optimise voices in relation to your hearing loss, to the detriment of music. Some may have a music program or setting which is better but not quite the same as the output of music specific speakers.

That's a movie I'd endorse!

My band's releases are called 'Thrashist pigs' 'Très Metal' 'Weapons of mosh destruction' 'Thrailer thrash' and the working title for the next one is 'Thrasher island' I won't spoil the genre of music we play.

Always have been. Nothing has changed in the whole advent of pop music. It's all constructed of the lowest common denominator. Main stream is for people that don't like music.

That is not really accurate

Tuner goes last on my board. Eliminate all noise to the amp between songs.
