    Might be that there is just too much else going on from the other instruments and they need the low frequency cutting back to make space for the bass? You can cut the bass as well, oddly enough, and that can tighten up the sound. I usually boost a small amount about 800Hz, depending on what else is going on. I'm fortunate, I do sound in the same church, so I know the venue and the players. Doing FOH for a band changing venues every night would be a much harder job.

    Just as an update. I met Chris from Smooth Hound at The Guitar Show in March, I specifically went to that stand as I hoped to try one out. He said that he's not making the Smooth Hound units at the moment, and hasn't been for a year or so. However he does hope to start making them available again later this year. Check the web site periodically if you specifically want that unit.

    Welcome aboard! Lots of 5 string choice on the marketplace at the moment!

    I'd like to see a Kramer, so if you're able to bring it that would be great. There will be plenty of amps to try it in. If it's a pain to bring then don't worry, it will be good to see you. Meeting up is the main thing, the gear is just an excuse

    There are some cracking songs in this thread, mostly new to me. A party band playing disco songs that most of the audience have never heard of would be a interesting sell, until after the first two songs then everyone would be up on the dance floor and not care. 🕺

    24% Buyer's Premium! That's quite a profit for the auction house.

    Very impressed! Nice work.

    Great basses, but suffer from neck-dive due to the 14" headstock required to accommodate the logo.

    As the dude who does FOH sound and plays bass, I can safely say that in my mixes you can tell the difference between a Rickenbacker, a Precision type thing and a Jazz type thing, if you’re really listening, but not between individual makes unless one is utterly carp. However one lad at church has started playing a much nicer bass than his first one, and his playing is now better and more interesting. On that basis alone the more expensive bass is worth it.

    I wish I could do that at work!

    I can't make this date, but have a great time everyone. 👍

    Could you get to the Midlands Bash in Nottingham on 22 April?

    I tried to PM @ped on a few occasions, but it simply wouldn't accept him as a recipient! Hence giving up. BC ones are better, and can be used to repair walking boots too.

    Following with interest 👍

    I think @AlexanderJersem was replying to the original post, and possibly had missed quite how far the thread has moved on since then. Easily done, unless one wants to wade through 40 pages.

    The big advantage I can think of for a capo on a 4 string is being able to tune to D or Eb and use capo for normal tuning and key changes, as others have said. Playing 4 string also makes learning from Tab easier. I play 5 string, because church worship bands often change keys to suit the singers/congregation. I can't read most 4 string Tab as it confuses my brain cell.

    Just seen this is your first post on BC - Welcome to the forum! Lots of friendly folks here. Do hop over to the Introductions thread and say Hi there as well, and post pics of any nice gear of course.

    Thanks Pete. Hope the new job goes well. If you and I, and Frank if he's already in Nottingham that morning, are there before 10 then we can work out if we want to divide the room at all, set up tables for Andy's demo and the raffle, make sure the kettle's on and generally get things sorted ahead of time. 24x8 is loads of space, plenty of room to grow. I got some cheap lanyards from Amazon, so we can translate forum names to real names.

    It looks much better with the bridge moved back. I would skip the pickguard too, those stripes are neat. Nice bass, glad it sounds good too.
  24. Richard R
    Welcome aboard! Nice collection, and if you amassed those in just three years, you'll fit right in here. 😁

    Heresy! Where are the mods when we need them??
