    This is only ok if they all played quietly too, which would not appear to be the case. I think I might have told them to stuff their request.

    Convert one to fretless.

    The authority on set up for this style of offset Fender seems to be Mike Adams, aka, Puisheen. Check out his YouTube channel. https://youtube.com/@Puisheen

    Sounds like some judicial use of compression is all that’s required, which shouldn’t mess with the frequencies and just smooth out the peaks.

    A New Bass Day thread, which the OP is pleased with and it’s descended into negativity. Why can’t we just be pleased for the OP and perhaps start a different thread where the issues raised here can be discussed? @BCH congrats on your purchase, may your GAS remain in abeyance for a goodly while; it messes with my head .

    Infinitely so IMO.

    Other than those who are soloists, our job is to serve the song, if using a pick does that, job done. I swap between pick and fingers in the band as required, I’ve even started doing some old school thumb style for a couple of songs. It’s also fun to mix it up.

    It appears to be a mid to late ‘90s Les Paul bass.

    I suspect that they are well aware how easy the upgrade is and know that they are quite likely to achieve 2 sales for those buying into the MetEx line.

    Pre Covid, I always took 2 basses, one fretted, one fretless, if either crapped out I could still finish the gig with the other. Now I’m in a band where I don’t need the bumpless beast, I’m still inclined to take a spare, it takes up little room in the car and the worst that will happen* is that I don’t use it. *I realise that the worst that could happen is that both basses fail and the amp emits a wail that opens up a portal, which releases demons into the venue, who then eat me** ** Hmm, maybe I should seek help

    I’ve known @Wellsyboy for years and years. He’s a top fella and you can deal with him with confidence; highly recommended.

    If you can go the extra few £s for a JMJ, there is at least one for sale on BC and is well worth it.

    Sadly ☹️

    Good BVs and harmonies are what sets a lot of bands apart. Once I was given the confidence and guidance about singing, I enjoyed it more and more. However, some songs were beyond me due to the syncopation of the bass line against the vocals, in these instances I stuck to my principal job.

    The Squier Affinity Jag is 32” scale and has a 38mm nut width.

    Or shows how stupid you really are. I depped for a gig where the organisers wanted some low key jazz. I worked very hard to learn the set, was bricking it for most of the gig in case I let my friends down and then someone came up and asked us to play some rock and roll so they could dance.

    NICE! 😍

    I suspect this is your problem. If you’ve not had this issue in other venues, this pub’s acoustics seems the most likely cause.

    You can always add a preamp pedal should the need arise, all of my basses have a Sadowsky preamp, in that they go through an SBP2.

    Rub it in why dontcha! 😂

    Bands should realise that they are the hired help and that the person paying for the ticket is the customer. Doing a few wedding gigs would help solidify that scenario for them.

    My JMJ does soften the P bass regret a tad, as it’s very similar (if not the same) tonally and feel wise.
