Just my opinion, of course, but I played in originals metal bands for 20 odd years and I never used any distorted sounds, kept it tight and punchy because with two massive fuzzy guitars, I didn't want the bass to get lost in that. Obviously that might not be waht you want, but may be worth recording yourselves and seeing what you think??? Best of luck 🤘🤘🤘

Rolling Stones song Start me up, I always heard the "you make a grown man cry" as " you make a zombie crawl...." 😂

Not just you, I always thought it was "Soap is so much cleaner" 😂😂😂

A more recent song with, to my ears, a lot of disco vibe. And a decently amusing video too.

Wow, didn't know there was anything above the venue ( I'm from out of town and it was dark😆😆😆), hope your gig went well

Kris Barras band at Highbury Garage last night, great performance from the band, and the sound was one of the best hard rock mixes I've ever heard, everything was very tight, punchy and powerful, just how I like it. The bass player played a Dingwall ( I think) 6 string, and it was so clear and punchy, with no bloat at all, I couldn't see an amp on his side of the stage so not sure if he went straight to PA...???

I have the orange version too, just for home use, it's a great bass to play, and I absolutely love the way it looks. Those MTD basses do look very nice too, a bit pricey compared to the Ibanez though.

Some sort of Tobias....??? (I'm like John Snow, I know nothing, but the shape of the horns looked familiar...???)

The bands that awakened my music addiction were AC/DC and Iron Maiden and I still regularly listen to both, my gateway albums were Piece of Mind and For Those About To Rock, and while these may not be their best, they'll always have a special place in my heart and soul 🤘🤘🤘

I was working in Lakeside shopping centre back in '92 (?) and me and my mate spotted Steve 'Arry Harris, my bass God, having a spot of lunch with his Mrs. ( or a random lady, who knows) so we sprinted all the way back to HMV and purchased an Iron Maiden calendar, and returned to get the good man to autograph it, which he did with a smile and good grace, despite being halfway through a sizeable cheese baguette. I wish we could have had a chat, but I felt it was pushing my luck having already spoiled his lunch.

For me , the absolute peak pointy ( although with a strangely subdued headstock) was the Def Leppard Hamer scarab bass. The body is small enough to not look unwieldy, but still with extreme angles and edges you wouldn't want to poke yourself in the eye with....😉 ..

I mean, there MAY have been an element of Cowboy boots.....😆😆😆

Obviously they're cool AF. 😉 I ditched my Japanese '86 Squier P bass ( which is probably quite desirable nowadays) for an Aria pro with pointy headstock, thin neck, lightweight, sparkly red, everything the P bass wasnt. It probably sounded dreadful but it didn't matter, it looked sooooo good with all the bright clothes and hair and stuff. Great dayz..... like this one, but not this one.....

I have the SRMD and it's very similar to the SR I had a few years ago, (it needed a little smoothing with one of those washing up sponge things from new to make it super smooth) it's a lovely playing and feeling neck IMO. Not got any glossy lacquer on it either which I like.

I was wondering that about the outdoor bits, if they were fixed mics you'd expect the level to dip and peak as the marchers passed the mic sites.
