  1. The ‘big rig’ hiding behind my bass at my last gig.
  2. I started with a Cub (2x5) as a practise tool, then added the PB300, powered cab and gigged that a lot. I then replaced the Cub with a Bass Buddy for an even smaller rig, which also did the job fine, but I finally ended up with a Flightcase (4x5) on top of the PB300 as I liked the idea of having a more powerful head for when I don’t need the ‘big rig’. Every version of my PJ setups have never failed to deliver, whether using a 5 stringer or an octave box, there’s plenty of clear, low end. For complete transparency, in case you haven’t guessed already, I’m a Phil Jones fanboy, but with good reason.

  5. There’s a bunch of Harley Bentons in different designs for your budget. The Mustang alikes are good, especially since the switch upgrade. The J pickup is not as powerful as the P (not unusual in budget basses of any make), but the whole thing makes for a good upgrade chassis (an EMG GZR set would be perfect). https://www.thomann.co.uk/short_scale_basses.html?manufacturer[]=Harley Benton&gk=GIEBSC&sp=solr_b&cme=true&filter=true
  6. From the EB website: Pino Palladino Signature Smoothie Flats Bass Strings are engineered for a smooth, effortless playing experience. Precision-polished for an ultra-smooth feel, these premium flatwound strings glide easily under your fingers. Wound with a cobalt alloy ribbon, they deliver a deep, rich tone that perfectly blends vintage warmth with modern flexibility. I think means that they are the same wrap construction as the normal Cobalts, as the description of these reads: Featuring a SuperBright Cobalt ribbon wrap, Cobalt underwraps and optimal hex-core to wrap ratio, Although no mention of the under wrap on the PP set.

  8. If you own a double bass you are already deemed as ready by others.

  10. Lady Ez and me don’t do Christmas presents any more so the first 2 questions are moot. So then we’re into the money no object question. A decent double bass is always going to be in there and I’ve recently developed ’Ray type GAS. However, given my weight requirements it would have to be chambered, which means a custom build and if that’s the requirement, it would also be medium scale and probably passive. That said, Sadowsky do a MM pickup only that comes in at my weight requirements, so that would be an option too.
  11. That SS ‘Ray looks so good.

  16. If the lesson delivers what you have asked for, or if the lesson has addressed an issue the teacher has highlighted (mine was muting when I took lessons - Gareth Morgan - top bloke) then it’s a result. If you find yourself wanting something more, you need to raise the issue. If they then avoid the issue, it’s time to move on.
  17. I hope you all had a great time. Now, I’ve got the popcorn and the liquid refreshment to hand and I’ve cleaned my spectacles - bring on the photos!
  18. Itchycoo Pork - Small Faces
