I honestly didn’t have a clue, and the gigs were great.
Apparently I had been saying things at rehearsals that didn’t go down well, you know the usual things like focussing on dynamics and timing. It was all a bit much for some of the band members. Honestly, never had this in my life, and quite unprofessional to be unable to sort things out and mainly to waste my time.
Last weekend’s gig was great with a covers band that I’ve been gigging with for the last 6 months. But then I got the bullet 2 days before this weekend’s gig, completely out the blue, no warnings.
The price is slightly high. Apart from the reputation and quality, the main reason I bought it, was because it was about the only unit with 6 outputs and fitted underneath a Metro board. It’ll probably do me for life now (hopefully).
The only right answer is to go to a guitar shop and try out a load of basses. The only challenge will be convincing yourself not to try those basses outside your price range .
I love Sandberg basses, love Rammstein, my favourite colour is black, so I had to get the Oli Riedel signature. I don’t have any opinions either way, and don’t own any other signature gear, but I do love this bass.
I went to see Jinjer who were supporting Bullet For My Valentine at the Roundhouse. Jinjer are so technical they need a headline slot to ensure their sound is perfect. Still an excellent gig though.
Eugene is an incredible bass player.
