I agree - in a studio, subtle tones would be useful.

Too many Knobs.

I sieze up a bit if my hands are cold. We rehearse in a cold warehouse, and have to have fires plugged in but still it takes a while to warm up Other than that, i dont get cramps. I always try to play every day, just to keep the muscle memory, and also the digits kinda loose.

He is, and nice looking bass IMO

Mick is right. Logo is misplaced. It's a ringer

You never understood me, anyway You'll never catch me... I won't give up... You'll NEVER take me alive!

Just get Charic a 6 pack of Tennents Super and he'll be all over it like a tramp on a bag of chips 🤩

Someone else's cat ? Panic over

My BA 115 combo was an utter pile of. I wouldnt compare this to their real gear though. After watching / listening to Bowie live at the BBC in 2000, and listening to Mark Plati give it some on Ashes to Ashes , and Gail Ann Dorsey on the rest, i decided i loved the tone. Especially Ashes to Ashes when guitarist Plati took over on bass. Wonderful. Cant tell ya what model Plati and Dorsey are playing thorugh, but Ampeg officianados will know

oooer, dodgy glue moment coming up. This is where you found out the next day you've glued the cat to some purpleheart

What a fabulous sound he's getting. Didnt know they'd been a round for decades ! Yup, i guess , as you say, Hill must be playing through a guitar amp.

Yup, it's just weird that the top bar changes depending on what i'm doing. As i type this reply, half of the tools in the top bar have disappeared as per pic 1 above

I hadnt heard of this name till i accidently saw ZZTop , in fact both Hill and Gibbons are playing through Magnatones Having checked the company webby, i didnt see a bass combo, , so is Hill playing through a guitar amp ? Just curious .. https://magnatoneusa.com/products/

Also very nice

This is the one loved enough to have a go at

Who knows the ways of magicians and wizards.

I'm not that happy with all this impersonating myself and the lads. Some of you are going dahn, you slags

Our band loves Scary Pockets. We cover one of their covers

You might have guessed right. What i should have done was not gone to see them live, voting with my feet and wallet.

Good speech HK I'm a fan too, and had the luxury of seeing LZ live at Ally Pally in London 1975 just after LZ 5 was released. Great gig , great memory. I was too young to know what songs they copied or plagiarised, but i couldnt give a hoot, even now

Dont forget to keep an eye on the usual outlets, Ebay, Gumtree, Cash Converters, etc etc.

I know that feeling 🤓

You'll get there Andly bloke, with your careful attention to detail. Worry not

If you dont get to play the bass to suit the sound you want, then you're just a hired hand for the guitard.

By the time my band has kicked in, just about every nuance i can hear on my own, with any string gauge, has virtually disappeared under a wall of keys, drums guitar, and vocals. Just buy the gauge strings you're comfortable with, and quit worrying.
