The search function reveals plenty of information.

Not owned the rig but Ampeg SVT CL, 6X10 cab and early 90s Spector NS-2.

What a horrible little person you must be, doubt I'll get an apology. [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1452279861' post='2948529'] Did anyone actually question Hendrix's relevance in this thread? Why be so angry about it here? His relevance - or the Beatles' - has nothing to do with the subject. If you think all new music is sh!te, then just say that. But keep in mind middle-aged people have been saying similar things to young people for generations. [/quote] [quote name='blue' timestamp='1452253920' post='2948053'] True, for example, I cant believe some of the nonsensical inaccurate remarks regarding Jimi Hendrix from young people. Jimi is no longer relevant, I get that. But I also say to them keep their opinions and comments to themselves,they weren't there and they don't know what they're talking about. Is that fair? It's why I will keep my mouth shut about Thundercat.I don't get him and he's not relevant to me Blue [/quote]

Grolsch washers. Free bottle of beer and no mods required to your bass.

Saying Hendrix isn't relevant is like saying the Beatles aren't relevant.

Name and shame the pub so none of us ever have to play there. Don't be British, please.

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1452215526' post='2947805'] lol. I dread to think what kind of 'funk' you're 'laying down' if that's what you reckon… but let's see some examples from you then, what have you got to add to this other than your incredible wit?[/quote] Welcome to Basschat where members force their opinions on you and you're an idiot if you disagree... Whatever I say you will reply with Thundercat is better because my raging stiffy dictates that he is.

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1452192602' post='2947514'] Nobody outside the obsessive compulsive world of bass-players listens to the likes of Janek, Hadrien and the rest of those guys.[/quote] ...and Thundercat.

Caline Pure Sky; great pedal that sounds like what you're after. Does the job for me.

Yawn. Next!

D'Addario EXP.

It's not about if they're a sh!t hot bass player... they have to look cool for a start. Also having one hummable bass line helps.

Gotoh 201. Thank me later.

Maybe the strings are out...

The Clash were the last band to stand for something before Rage came along.

Bloody hell there are some old people on this site.

Oh, Royal Blood did a pretty good job of inspiring the new wave of bass players.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1451938801' post='2944857'] I asked 22 year old music student son who is in a regularly gigging band what he thought of this. I also asked him who inspired him. The answer was 'everyone I ever heard including the bad stuff'. 'Give me an example.' 'Pink Floyd' [/quote] Great answer!

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1451923096' post='2944625'] "band" based music really isn't that popular anymore (among the under 40s)[/quote] Lol!

Precision, fresh strings, good output pup, valve head and a big cab.

Joe Strummer went to boarding school...

[quote name='juliusmonk' timestamp='1450558189' post='2933950'] Folks, I beg to differ. Marcus Miller couldn't do his thing with an off the shelf, no name bass with incredibly high action and dead strings. Which is what you get in generic guitar stores. It is physically impossible. That's why I am a bit allergic to generic advice and the it's all in the fingers stuff. If you're a teenager wanting to be Mark King and what you get for Xmas is a Precision with heavy gauge strings, it'll take you years to approach the sound, and you will never hear what you want. If you don't hear what you want, and people are saying what you guys say, you'll think it is your fault. It certainly may not inspire you to persevere. It is not about cheap or expensive, but to know about basses. I don't think GAS is about cheap or expensive either. Now, let's face it: if there was absolutely no advantage in a high-end bass, no one would make them. [/quote] I think you took my point way out of context. I did not say 'You will sound just as good on cheaper gear'. I think higher end gear can improve your tone but my point was about if you are a good player you will sound good on anything. Not a Westfield/Encore will make you sound as good as a Fodera etc.

Just turn the volume (on the bass) down so it doesn't clip the amp?

If you are good, anything you play on will sound good. Fact.
