    Remote sessions?

    No mics needed IMO

    Remote sessions?

    I know a few people who have done this, and i've done it myself a few times for fun, not payment - definitely better than using a studio, by the time you've paid for the session you'll do well to break even when paid for the job. I wouldn't use an amplifier, just a decent audio interface and headphones so you can play 'in the mix'
  3. Awesome amp. Stick the spectracomp in one of the toneprint slots and you’ve got a powerful do it all amp. 👍🏼
  4. They have a great range of stock - I nearly bought a Le Fay bass from them

    Bass Bashes

    Everyone was surprised how small mine was at the SEBB
  6. Well put me down for one anyway!!
  7. One of my favourite sounds was from my 400+ I also love the sound of the tubes ticking as they cool down. Also it smelled nice
  8. What about one of those red switch flip covers, make it look like an improvised explosive device
  9. The Future Compact. Love it. I wish it could be battery powered
  10. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I bloody love slap bass as much as any other style and I’m all for seeing it included in demos
  11. Personally I wouldn’t go for a custom build unless you know exactly what you want - even then, there are so many factors that make a bass sound great I don’t know if I could say for definite what would work with what when I’m paying for it. Not easy to sell either. That’s why I’d go for something that I can try first.
  12. Love the spider. That was in his VHS tape wasn’t it?
  13. Good to know - thanks. Edited for accuracy!
  14. I posted some other clips showing what are to my mind the best examples of the ‘smith sound’ here
  15. Someone didn’t read the article!! 🤦🏻‍♂️
  16. ‘In Stock’ basically means ‘we know someone we can get one from for you’ now
  17. Excellent read! I wonder if that have those blue plaques up on these buildings in the USA ‘Ken Smith carved his first bass here’ 😂 its a shame they’re so rate in the UK. I still don’t think many people know what a Smith sounds like. I discovered them by hearing the sweetest bass sound I’d ever heard, didn’t think anything of it (pre internet, what could I do!?). I recognised the sound on other things and eventually saw the video for Chic Corea’s ‘Electric City’ and heard that sweet plink of the G string (0:30)
  18. Normally people say how the clip is recorded, so you get an idea. Personally I think the bass itself is a massive part of the sound, so a clip is useful.
  19. Just a caveat to say I am not in any way being rude about the Variax. I think they’re cool. Just don’t like flats!!
  20. Exactly It's like some people think we should all be issued with a sunburst P bass at birth and be done with it. Remember - any new products for us bass players are good for the industry.
  21. Haha yeah my friend owns an Italian food import business in Banbury, we had two panettone for xmas, one was a white chocolate one that was amazing, I think he said it was about £40?! Yeah the box was 'tasteful'
