Highlighted the bit I strongly disagree with. The rest would be spot on in my opinion. Extreme or alternative vocals still depend on far reaching control over the voice.

What cab? A 810: yes. 410: yes. 212: probably. 210 unlikely. Single speaker: never.

I have three of these in a row on the living room wall https://www.thomann.de/gb/km_16296.htm

Never heard of him, sorry.

Here's Hagar Ben Ari

Jo Bench - Bolt Thrower One of my main influences when I picked up bass at 15.

First question that popped up in my head!

Is it going to affect pedals?

The Meteors have song cracking songs for halloween Meteors - teenagers from outer space Nick Cave & Kylie - Where the wild roses grow: Wild roses

As usual, cab configuration could be a factor. Or any number of other circumstances.

Pictures of the full set-up would be great @mortware The pedals, settings on the amp, the back of the amp etc. or did you get it fixed? If so, what was the problem? is there another amp you could test the output from your bass on?

What is the band aesthetic? As the Op called his Mod band 'indie' which is a fair bit away from how I would describe that.

I don't know, is it very Indie to conform to the opinions of the masses?

It's going to be great. Slap them on but, as we saw above that the tension on the neck is slightly lower with heavier strings, the neck my straighten out a bit over time (see below). If the strings start giving fret buzz take the bass to a local luthier or knowledgeable BC member to tweak the truss rod a little.

Visualisations of kinetic energy. If you want to throw psychology in the mix you could show people on a dancefloor.

Fit the strings first, to see if anything at all needs to be done. Then let it sit a day or two to see if any part needs tweaking.

Failure to start the video with the fender P and J invalidates the whole thing imo.

Hit the Road Jack, Smoke on the Water and Running with the Devil.

Not my video. I've been using Verellen's meatsmoke preamp pedal for years. Using channel 1 as my default tone, off for clean lead/solo bits, channel 2 for anything 'are you nuts?'. Drive, eq and master volume per channel makes it the perfect tool.

Why would you want a flat response setting on your amp for a non-flat response instrument? A good sounding amp (be if for bass, guitar, PA or hifi) is not ever going to be on flat settings in actual use. There would be only one real world application for it and that is calibration. If your ears won't tell you what a fairly neutral setting is, but they'll tell you what sounds good to you... That's the best we can wish for.

Billy Sheehan needs to be mentioned

That's a weird look for a bassist

Thank goodness I didn't have to do the ironing last night, as I was watching Alanis Morissette!

I was reminded of the Golden Earring, and recent Eurovision winners Maneskin using Danelectro Longhorns.
