I think I'd find it difficult. I mean, I write all the music, play it, sing it, record it and mix it. I'd have a hard time finding someone to do all that for myself but, hey, if I want myself out of my band, that's the way it goes, I suppose, and I'd just have to move on and find something else. Granted, I'm not into doing the social media stuff but I was clear to myself it wasn't something I was going to do right from the start. Even so, I'd be really peeessed off, though 🤔

Are my band expectations simply too high?
Doctor J replied to NancyJohnson's topic in General Discussion
Heavy gigging bands getting paid for playing original music are not exactly plentiful. -

Doctor J replied to NancyJohnson's topic in General Discussion
Unless you think you have the ideas and the drive to make a silk purse out of it, walk away. Never compromise on the standard of music, you'll just be unhappy and leave, sooner or later. -
Why would you not at least try the new one if the old one was not good? You'll know the answer by the end of the night.

Despite being a fan of active setups, generally, I almost always play my L2K passive. Active mode is ridiculoulsy hot. It is many things, but weak in passive mode is not one of them.

I get a kick out of great songs with the right bassline. That can be Cliff Williams or it can be Tony Choy or anywhere inbetween. They're very different disciplines on the same instrument but neither is superior to the other when they fit the music so well. I dig the rhythm section part of bass playing so when that all locks in I'm happy, it's all good no matter how simple or complex it is.

The early Ibanez Soundgears are spot on. -
School band when I was 16. We played From Out of Nowhere by FNM, Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen and Solace of You by Living Colour. I was utterly terrified.

This sounds good. I might sue everyone else on Spotify for my economic harm. “Streaming is a zero-sum game,” they argue. “Every time a song breaks through, it means another artist does not.” As a result, they claim, Drake suffered “economic harm” at Lamar’s expense.

Set what feels good to your hands and sounds good to your ears, not what looks good to your eyes.

I'm not sure Vigier ever used CTS pots, I'd also have expected something circuit board based, as you say. Still, that's a clean installation if it is a replacement.

Active. Start flat and adjust to taste. Lovely.

If you only like one bassline, perhaps bass is not the instrument for you?

The documentary is very entertaining, should you wish to fill in the rest of the gaps.
