Hi, I'm in Whitstable, if I remember correctly it's one of these https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/miscellaneous-musical-instrument-stands/konig-meyer-14160-electric-double-bass-stand?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=17858053119&utm_term=&adgroup=&creative=&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2JbI_pSAgwMVppJQBh3M-QwaEAQYBCABEgL7kfD_BwE I'll check tomorrow 👍

Standard EUB stand should do it, I’ve a spare you can have gratis if you can arrange collection?

Defo a trad feel to the basses on show, and nothing at all wrong with that 👍

No information re location, genre, level? Where do I sign up?

Perceived bass tone (to bass player) = Actual tone/10 - Expected tone/10 Moderate performing low expectation bass = 5 - 0 = 5 Moderate performing high expectation bass = 5 - 10 = -5 In short a Squier has far more chance of being perceived by a bass player as an exceptional instrument than a Fender Custom Shop. But only the bassist experiences the expectation, the audience don't, so only actual tone really matters 👍

I have rounds on one fretless and flats on the other and generally much prefer the tone and playability of the flats

Is anyone prepared to share the does and don’ts of running a thread on Basschat? 😆

Yep, festival we were booked to play a while back had the same, need I say more…… 😕

Then you accept it or leave. I find it amazing how many musicians suffer the indignity of egotistical leaders/members as if there’s no choice…

Your girlfriend sleeping with your Dad (who’s also your Uncle)…. …..although that might be Bluegrass?

A band is like sports team, if one member is flipping it up the collective performance they’re out and replaced with a better tram player, irrespective of ‘talent’

That’s quite probably the trick here 👍

Any good way to stop this happening? Decent etiquette/discipline on stage, simple as that. In my bands there are two types of players, those who understand audio and who are allowed to touch things once set up, and those who don’t and who aren’t. The idea that any individual player can simply change their settings to suit some immediate perceptual/emotional/ego need doesn't get past the grown ups in the band 👍

I’ve owned a lot of fretless basses and they mostly sound like me, Precision through Jazz through Ray through Wal through Enfield, the only one that was noticeably unique was the Ric. Find a fretless bass you like and make it sound the way you want it to, PUPs only do so much in the context of all the other factors 👍

Where’s my credit card 😆

'Nearly Yes' = 'I think so'?

I'll be selling one of my two fretless Enfield Fusion fretless basses in the next month (not sure which yet), gives you Stingray plus a whole lot more 👍

Oh, god, this sounds like my current band, albeit switch sax/trumpet/keys for guitar, banjo, and mando. Americana Free Improv (which sounds like a political movement)
